Map of St Kentigern's Cemetery, 951 Balmore Road, Glasgow please

Hi again, it's been over 2 hours and nothing heard so here it is in open forum. As you enter the graveyard take the road up to the right, take the first left, cross over the first cross roads and at the next go left at the War Wall Screen. Take the next right, section 6 is now on your left hand side. Stop at the row with the large bush with a large tree just further back up the row. Two of the first few grave stones are clearly numbered 1485 and 1478. This gives you your direction of travel. After about 100M you will come to a double War Grave of Peter Callaghan and John Charters Young. This grave is No. 1434 (Courtesy of Apanderson). Lairs in this section are at 3 feet centres therefore it is just a case of measuring on to locate the centre of 1422, which is within that long green expanse of the row that is unmarked. Good luck, WW.

Hi Anne I am looking for a better map of st kenigerns if u have one please ideally section 10 trying to identify lair 598

[apanderson]

'Fraid not, sorry.

The CWGC stone in the photo below (Jefferson) is Section 10, Lair 560 and it's the closest I can find to Lair 598.

There's no quick way to find a specific lair - you really just have to check each stone for a number and try to figure out which way the lairs run.

You are looking for Lair 598, so if you start at Francis Jefferson's stone, the lair you're looking for will be 38 lairs away. (This could be in the same row, the row behind or the row facing depending on the numbering system)

Each Lair is 3 feet wide, so an option is to take a tape measure and make measurements in increments of three feet, or take something with you which you had pre-measured.

Of course you could go along and there's a stone there with the names you are looking for!!

Hi, I am just new to the site so please bear with me.

I am trying to find where my grandparents are buried, I have the Section, Lair No and there was a memorial headstone placed, but no matter how long I look I can't find it. Unfortunately as I work I can only go weekends and there is noone there from the Cemetery staff to help.

I have a copy of the Title Deeds as they are detailed as follows:

Reference No. 14W31476
Cert No. 11149
Lair No. 667
Class B
Section 9

I know that Section 9 is split into two part and it also encroaches slightly into Section 10

The headstone was placed approximately June 1981 and the name would be Fitzpatrick

I also know that the lair held three and buried there are Thomas Fitzpatrick my great grandfather, Thomas Murphy my uncle and Joseph Fitzpatrick my grandfather, my grandmothers ashes were scattered there Catherine Fitzpatrick.

The headstone was erected by A. Jaconelli & Sons and the paperwork I have here is dated 09/06/1981

Unfortunately I have found that Section 9 has many headstones that have been damaged and I can only presume that this has happened to my grandparents.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello

I have just joined this forum and hope someone can help.

I'm trying to find the Lair that my grandparents and aunt are buried in at St Kentigerns, Glasgow. I used to visit with my mother who has now passed away and twice my brother and I have been to try and find it with no luck, there are a few damaged stones knocked over in general are and it may be one of those.

I managed to get section and lair number which is section 22, Lair 549, the names on the stone are Mary Hervey (nee Platt), Mary Platt and Francis Platt with dates from 1969 to 1990.

Can anyone tell me how the rows etc work as it seems to be 2 big sections according to the map and I really want to find it this time so we can get it repaired and cleaned up.

Many thanks
Fiona
