Are Durris headstones available to view anywhere please?
« on: Monday 06 July 15 02:15 BST (UK) »
I have the details from 1894 for the burial register scan from Deceasedonline, but I wonder whether there was a headstone.

Many thanks.

Thank you.

I'm looking for Ann Cockie and her husband John Moir.  Ann is definitely buried there.  She died in December 1894.

Neither names are on the published list for Durris from ANESFHS. There probably will not be a stone.

Not necessarily,Malky. I don't have the book to refer to but sometimes only the old section of a graveyard is transcribed. It may be worthwhile asking the local registrar for a plan of the lairs.Once you know where exactly the lair is you could ask if anyone local could check it out for you.

Thank you for that.  So, there might be a headstone perhaps.

I wasn't certain I had the correct John Moir, as his age in the burial record doesn't agree with census records over the decades, and it says he died at Daisy Cottage, but having just found his Death Notice in a newspaper there are enough details that confirm it is him (joiner, formerly of Crossroads).   If there was a headstone then I might have been able to match them up (assuming they were buried together - I hope so).

The newspapers have been excellent - not quite four weddings and a funeral, but two weddings, a funeral, an accidental shooting and the purchase of a threshing machine.  There's mention of a farm tenancy at Funiach changing hands that might be him (as that's where the two weddings were).

I have the book for the Kirkyard of Durris and there is no mention of Ann Cockie or John Moir
If you got the records on deceased on line were you not able to get the burial scan which should give you a map where they are buried
