The burials from the 1829 book are in the old churchyard.

I've tried to attach a copy of the map but it is too big.
If you pm me your email address I'll send you a copy.

Hi there, I stumbled into this thread/forum and am hoping you might be able to help me as well. I'm trying to track down my great great great grandfather's burial information, which I believe is in the Old Keith Cemetery. His name was William Burgess (1819-1892) and he was married to Margaret Ann Hendry (1825-1893). They had ten children and several lived their whole lives I believe in Keith. By any chance can you confirm that this is where they are buried? Are there other Burgess or Hendry names there as well?  Thank you so much for any input you can offer!

William Burgess was the brother of my great-great-grandfather. I have a lot of information about the family.

Once you have made 3 posts on the forum we will be able to contact one another direct to exchange notes.

William and Margaret Ann are indeed in Keith Old Cemetery, and so are their children Isabella, Catherine, Elspet, and Elizabeth. Jane and Anna are in Broomhill Cemetery, Keith. Alexander and William are in Woodlawn Cemetery, New York. Helen and Margaret are also in America but I don't know where.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

There are some other Burgess and Hendry burials in here.
I'll have a better look tomorrow and post what I find.

Steven and Forfarian, this is amazing! Thank you so much! Forfarian mentioned several of the Burgess family (children of William and Margaret's) in the reply below... I don't want you to double up on time spent.  I would be curious if John Burgess (1798-1871) and/or Elspet Young Burgess (1796-1838) are there as well... it looks like John also died in Keith. He was William's father.  I really appreciate the information. It makes me realize how small the world is :)
