Cemetery ID

[vidlerr]

Can anyone ID this cemetery where my paternal great grandparents (Jack family) are buried.  It is the white gravestone on the right - the darker, central one may also be significant but I cannot read the inscription.  I have been told it is in Edinburgh, but the family originated from Roxburghshire.

Thanks.
Robert.

Hi,
     If you can give us more details names  where and when  they died it might help locate this cemetery

for you.

Hi Jessie,

the bottom name is Ellen Jack, wife of Edwin Park, dies Edinburgh 22 March 1910
the top inscription is John Jack (Ellen's father) died Edinburgh 30 November 1893.

Hope this is helpful & thanks for your interest.

Hi,
     Do you know which district of Edinburgh they died in ? Their address will be on the death certificate

Ellen address 68 Warrender Park Road - just down from the Grange Cemetery.    Edwin, her husband died 1924, Morningside and the 1920 valuation roll has him in Falcon Avenue and it is noted that he is not on the memorial stone.

However, the background, top left, has a gable end of a tenement building, with the direction of the sun and the shadows, I think that the Grange and Morningside could be out of the equation.   I am inclined to go for Edinburgh Eastern Cemetery off Easter Road.   http://www.edinphoto.org.uk/0_a/0_around_edinburgh_-_eastern_cemetery_looking_towards_northern_wall_of_the_cemetery_091805.htm

Have you contacted City of Edinburgh Council at Mortonhall ?

I can't read the address on John Jack's death record, but in the 1891 census he was a retired Grocer living at 92, Marchmont Road, which, I believe is just nearby Warrender Park Road in the parish of St. Cuthberts.

Hope this is helpful

Hi,

I thought it might be Newington Cemetery in Old Dalkeith Road .

Another "Rooter " mentioned on here the other day that Mortonhall wanted £16 to do a look up for
him. I have had a few done over the years but never been charged.

I agree that it's Edinburgh Eastern.  Even the number of chimneys on the right-hand chimney breast (eight) matches the colour photo.

Managed to find the possible plot at the Eastern.   Time has taken it's toll on the John Jack stone and it is no longer there and, as can be seen on the attached image,  there are other 'JACKS' memorials which would make it a Jack family plot.     The sapling has grown a bit as well.
