Some Perthshire Cemeteries

[Dave106]

Hi BruceL:
Your reference to MI Book Dunblane & Kilbryde interests me.
I have a photo of a grave marker in Kilbryde Cemetery for John Stewart and Anne Innes, erected by their three daughters Janet, Margaret and Ann. These are my ancestors.
I am looking for death records for all three daughters, as well as their husbands, and would like to determine if they and their husbands are in this cemetery.
Janet Stewart married William Anderson; Margaret Stewart married Andrew Laurie; and Ann Stewart married James Gow.
Any Anderson's or Stewart's at this cemetery or at Dunblane Cemetery would be of interest to me.
Your assistance is appreciated.
Dave

Hi Marlene
Perth and Kinross council archives hold the records of Perth poor house from 1859 to 1975.

The main building "Roslyn House" has now been converted into flats.

Your Manchester would probably have been hurried in wellshill cemetery which is about 300 meters along Riggs road.

Yours Aye

Thanks Bruce 
Do you think the archives might have more information on Thomas than what was on the death registration?
Good to know where he was probably buried too.
Cheers, Marlene 🙂

Hi Marlene

I have never seen what the archives hold on poor house inmates so I couldn't tell you may be worth e-mailing the archives at the A K Bell library and asking them.

Hi BruceL and Buckhyne:

I finally found the death record for my Janet Anderson, born Janet Stewart, 23 March 1814 at Dunblane; died 19 January 1900 at Newington, Edinburgh.

Next task is to find where she is buried.
I still believe her final resting place will be in or near Doune because she lived in Doune most of her life and her husband William Anderson died when he was living in Doune in 1845-46.
Can you provide assistance on this task?

Thanks,
Dave

If she died 50+ years after her husband and she is living in Edinburgh then my guess is that she is buried there.
Does her death certificate give any clues?
Who was the informant?
Also my help is with pre-1855 deaths in certain named cemeteries but this is 50 years later.

Hi Buckhyne

I realize you are more pre-1855 and I appreciate the information you forwarded previously.

Death certificate states Janet was ill for two months with heart problems.
Informant was her son-in-law and she was living at his residence in Edinburgh, with her daughter.

I am hoping Janet and William are buried together, with a grave marker so I can obtain basic information for William.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi Dave
Doune is now part of Stirlingshire if you contact Stirling archives perhaps they may be able to give you the information you are looking for.
Good Luck
