Thomas Anderson
« on: Thursday 17 September 15 04:12 BST (UK) »
Hi, My Ancestors came from Moffat and one died and was buried there as a 13 year old. Name of Thomas Anderson, father was William Anderson and mother Jane nee Grieve. Thomas was born Glasgow 28-6-1816 and died 7-4-1830 at Moffat. According to family Bible he was buried at Moffat Can anyone help me confirm this with photo of his headstone or paper records confirming this. We don't think he was buried in the Old Cemetery but cant guarantee this 100%. All help greatly appreciated as I live in Australia.

Welcome to rootschat Faye. :)

If you don't get any offers of help, you could contact the Dumfries and Galloway FHS who sell booklets of MIs:

Thomas may not have had a headstone, or it may not have survived. I am not sure if there is any way you can find out burial records for the Moffat grave/church yards .... someone else may be able to advise you.
