Eastwood old cemetery. Glasgow

[Irene Boyle]

Hi. Can anyone help me please with information regarding the lay out of the Eastwood Old cemetery. I'm looking for an Aunt buried there around 1930. She was 18 years , Jeanie Abercrombie. There may be a family lair but I can't find any information at all. I'm over from Spain and want to trace the location of the grave. Are there different sections? I can't find anything pertaining to it online. Thank you.

Below is a link to a plan of the cemetery, but I don't know how old it is.

From this we learn, among other things, that Agnes Abercrombie was Jeanie's mother (not surprising) and that Jeanie died 15 December. Gives the name of the undertaker.

Wow, that's great info Jon.  I'm sure Irene will be over the moon with that.

Thank you so very much.  I can't believe I now have all the information that I need to find the lair.  My Gran was a war widow and had a great deal of tragedy in her life.
I grew up with no record of any close family as my parents left the west coast after the war. It's been an incredible journey for me. Thank you for your help and I've now written to the city archives as you suggested.  I've joined family search.org and so far its free unlike the other sites I use. Thank you both so much  for the cemetery plan and the document of the lair purchase. I couldn't have done it without your help.
