Sorry, Anne

I have forgot to mention:
This plate is from the Fort Canning Park (Singapore).
There was a cemetery here before, but after exumating the burials, tomb plates were cemented into the walls in the park.

Cheers
Mike

Hello ajjbc,

This might be a complete wild goose chase but as Spottiswood is quite an unusual name I thought you'd like to know there's a Spottiswood Family grave in Denny Cemetery, Denny, Stirlingshire.

The people you mention are not listed directly but this lot might be relations - Airth isn't that far away from Denny - and there is an Agnes Scobie mentioned!

In loving memory of MICHAEL SPOTTISWOOD died 18th January 1880
And his wife MARY CALDWELL died 18th November 1891,
also their family
JOHN died 28th February 1847
WILLIAM died 29th November 1849
DAVID died 15th October 1854
JANE died 13th December 1869               
MICHAEL died 20th February 1869
MARY died 31st January 1873
JAMES died 3rd December 1874
AGNES SCOBIE died 15th May 1880                                                                   

Erected by Janet Spottiswood in loving memory of her husband ROBERT MILLAR
Died 9th October 1871
Also their family
MARY CALDWELL died 19th January 1870
ROBINA died 11th June 1875
ROBERT died 21st April 1890
The above JANET SPOTTISWOOD died 9th March 1919 aged 80 years

In loving memory of JAMES SPOTTISWOOD beloved husband of Margaret Millar
Died 9th June 1933?
Also MARGARET TAYLOR MILLAR or SPOTTISWOOD
Remainder of Stone eroded

Hope this helps

Anne.

P.S. I also have photographs of the above stone but I'm not sure how to attach them to this board.

                                                                                                           


Hi apanderson,

I know it's a few years late - but I also have John Spottiswood (who married Martha Anderson) as an ancestor, and was wondering if you had any information about either of their families? I'm descended from their daughter Mary (born 1838) but am having trouble finding information about them because they never stayed in the one country for long enough haha..

Or if it's true that John and Michael were brothers, information about their parents etc.

Thanks in advance for any information (if you see this message) :D

Hello Gibson Family

Welcome to Rootschat!!

I only have info from the stones previously mentioned, but after you've made 3 posts, you'll be able to use the PM system (Private Message) and perhaps will be able to make contact with 'djs44'.

Added later ......

djs44 hasn't been back to Rootschat since Monday 03 October 05 - might make getting in touch a bit difficult.

Anne
