Title: Burial Place of John Denholm
Post by: mamad on Thursday 01 August 13 18:37 BST (UK)

Hello,

Wonder if anyone can help?

John Denholm died 23 October 1914 at his home in Hill of Beath. I assumed he would be buried in Beath Cemetery as other members of his family are there. I contacted the Bereavement Officer at Fife Council, however she could not find him in Beath.

Any thoughts?

Hello Diddy,

Already checked the Dunfermline Courier on ancestry. Any other newspaper suggestions? Unsure if Cowdenbeath would have a local paper or when the Press started printing.

Thanks.
