Section 13 Dalbeth

[gerryfarrell]

Regards to the West side there doesn't appear to be any difference in the cost of burials going by the many burial registers I've seen. I think like most cemeteries they have just filled it section by section. Other reasons could be that families where or if they could afford to bought several plots together for the purpose of being together once they had passed. There is a common burial area which is the land at the main road area of the cemetery, burials in this area are just listed as CG. Also the registers for the very early burials 1860's don't all show lair no's.
I'll send you a pm regards visiting Dalbeth.

Thank you!

I have people in sections 13W, 15W, 16W and 18W and some of them are in the same immediate family. I think it's probably because of the time period and not because of shared lairs since they're spread across different sections. Everyone on the page with each of the records was also west.

Are Old Dalbeth and St. Peters Dalbeth  the same cemetery? I have 2 burials in section 12 -division 6C and it says St. Peters Dalbeth. Can you give me a rough idea where this section is- I see one picture with section 12 shown but was not sure if it is correct cemetery, Thanks

[ayrgenes]

They are seperate cemeteries, about a couple of hundred yards apart. Old Dalbeth is not in use now, and quite rundown, although work has been done to keep it clear. St Peter's, Dalbeth is still in use and most people refer to that simply as Dalbeth. Enter by main gates on London Rd. If you can't locate the lair the groundsmen are quite helpful if around at the time. If you're not local I can nip down and have a look for you. PM me.

Hi
I would like to locate my grandmother's grave in St Peter's Dalbeth from 1947. I think it is Section 13 Division W. and have a four digit lair number, but the age on this burial record isn't right (it's noted her age as that when she was married on the burial record- not the age I know she was when she died eight years later, which I assume is an error by someone looking at the marriage cert whilst registering) so I can't be 100% sure it's her burial record. There doesn't seem to be a connection between the burial record and the death cert number, or is there a way of searching using this?

I'm sure this record is her as the burial record is recorded as 17 days after her death and she is the only person of that name (incl. variants) to die and be buried in Glasgow within the six months following her known date of death. That is according to the records I have searched on ScotlandsPeople and using info on my family copies of her birth, marriage & death certificate.

I don't think there is a headstone there and would like to place one or replace the remains of the one there. Is this possible? Will it be easy to locate on site?

I live within 20miles of the cemetery so I plan to visit the cemetery to arrange this myself in the coming weeks. Any advice you can give would be gratefully received, especially in dealing with the cemetery.

Hi

If you have a Sec/Lair No then it should be quite easy to find the grave. The staff on site are very helpful so just pop into the office and I'm sure they will take you to the correct lair. As for placing/replacing a headstone, this again should be fairly simple, staff will advise you and there is a facility near the main gate for you to order a headstone.

Concerning the 'wrong' dates/age on the SP records, I have several burials at Dalbeth that have incorrect details. As you mention quite possibly someone reading or giving wrong info at the time.

It is possible to contact the Diocese office and speak to Sharon, she should be able to give you info on who else is buried in the lair, which would help confirm you have the right person. Again staff on site can help there too.

Good luck
Davie

Hi to all

Would anyone know how the Lairs are numbered?
I'm looking for Lair 266 in Section 18.

Thanks
