Title: Graveyard Records Paisley
Post by: mags c on Saturday 03 August 24 21:59 BST (UK)
Where would I be able to get a note of a grave number in Paisley for someone who died 1920's 30's?
Where I live I can go to my local Heritage centre and trace ancestors grave numbers.

In Scotland most graveyards/cemetris/burial grounds are managed by the local council, and they will know who manages any others, so the council is always the first port of call.

In this case, Renfrewshire Council https://www.renfrewshire.gov.uk/article/2552/Cemeteries - scroll down to 'Checking cemetery records'.

In Paisley, there are two main cemeteries - Woodside and Hawkhead. I believe Hawkhead is run by Renfrewshire Council, however, Woodside is privately owned and has been for sometime. Woodside has historical records online on their website although I'm not sure what date they go to.

Just to let you know I found my grandparents graves. They are in Hawkhead cemetery in Paisley.
