Title: Larkhall Cemetery search please - Helen Curr Whitelaw
Post by: BarL on Tuesday 19 March 24 19:23 GMT (UK)

Hi All,

Trying to find out where my 2x great grandmother may have been buried.  Her address on the death certificate was Miller Street, Larkhall.  Is anyone got access to the monumental inscriptions for Larkhall Cemetery?
Her name is Helen Whitelaw (maiden name Curr).  Died 5th January 1895 age 31.
Father - Mitchell Curr, Mother - Jane Kerr or Carr
Her husband - Robert Whitelaw (he re-married and I've found his and his 2nd wife's gravestone in Larkhall)

Thanks
Lynn

If I were you I would contact South Lanarkshire Council cemeteries department by email.
It holds all the records for Larkhall cemetery.

Thanks to you all for your help & advice.
I did wonder if she was buried with her child.  I'll maybe try the council as suggested.
I tried Find A Grave.  Only found her husband with his 2nd wife.
Thanks
