Jean Watt Linklater sister of Peter - Born 1839 and died 16 March 1880
Burial Kirkyard, Stromness, Orkney, Scotland.
Believe there is a booklet of MI's for the Kirkyard. Stromness. Orkney Scotland which might help you with other burials.
The Kirkyards of Stromness & Graemsay"
Found a link to a lady who had the above booklet so have sent her a message to see if she can help you further. Fingers crossed.
