New Kilpatrick Cemetery, (also known as Hillfoot Cemetery), Bearsden
« on: Saturday 10 October 15 11:12 BST (UK) »
Hi All.

Having completed, Cadder Cemetery & Baldernock Cemeteries, I have now embarked on my next project. This is to photograph the above cemetery and place all the names I come across into a searchable database, which will eventually go to East Dunbartonshire Archives.

As far as size goes I think it's on a par with Cadder Cemetery, so it should take me about a year to complete. I've already started, taking in the first two rows, (section 1) which has given me just over 300 names.

I will do a section at a time. Once a section is completed I will post a list of surnames that appear in that section.

Like my last projects, I will look up details for anyone that wants them and I will also send photographs (free) to any of your past relatives I come across. What I would like is stories about the people who are in the cemetery. These can either be posted here, or on this Facebook Page I have created to detail my progress.

That is section one complete. I took 1,391 photographs and recorded the details of 1,989 people. Most of this section headstones started in the 1920's & 1930's. Of the names taken, 47 were recorded as having died as the result of military action.

The top post on the Facebook Page gives the list of all the surnames that appear in that section (over 700)

Hi Chris5856,
I am interested in the surname Watt of Milngavie

Particularly, ex Provost James Watt who died in  New Kilpatrick 1902 following a fatal accident
He was married twice . Both wives were my ante descendants and were  1st cousins to each other.

1st wife: Mary Hamilton died in  New Kilpatrick 1866
2nd Wife :Agnes Barr died in New Kilpatrick 1930

I have now completed Section 11. I only have half of section 12 and the whole of section 13 to photograph to complete the cemetery.

So far I've photographed 6,531 headstones from which I have recorded the details of 10,119 souls.

Once complete I will hand the database over to EDC archives at Kirkinittloch library. I will in the meantime still offer lookups on here and on the Facebook page for the cemetery which can be found here...

https://www.facebook.com/HillfootCemetery

All lookups and photos of headstones are free on request.
