Hi All, I live in Dunbar, recently I've been taking random pictures of headstones at Dunbar Parish Graveyard, uploading them to Find-a-Grave website with a little research on the people.
The picture of the Joseph Smith and Grace Hutton I am fairly confident that it is Deer Park Cemetery. Looking at the picture over the top right hand corner is the skip next to the pavilion. I go their also to lay flowers and because of lockdown/pandemic I can't visit my parents graves so I walk around here instead. Therefore why I recognise it.
People looking for relatives, I'd be happy to help with any and all, if you're happy to share dates and all names you know. It gives me something to do and it would be an honour.
Dunbar Parish Graveyard have no known online records accessible, however the history society have folders at the Town House which can be looked up. Given the closures I e-mailed them requesting a copy to help my research of the Graveyard. But I also know that the John Gray Centre above the Library in Haddington has quite a comprehensive list for reference too. Apparently 2 elderly ladies spent quite some time going around all the Graveyards and Cemeteries in East Lothian taking record. Also a couple of the parishes did likewise. Sadly you have to visit Haddington & Dunbar to access these records.
