Lanarkshire / Re: Finding the Grave of Thomas McGee

Hello,
There are several cemeteries around the Bridgeton area, including the Glasgow Necropolis (behind Glasgow Cathedral and the Infirmary), as well as the Southern Necropolis and (closest to Bridgeton), the Eastern Necropolis. There are also cemeteries at Tollcross, Sighthill and Riddrie.
Depending on his religious denomination, there is also St Peter's Cemetery Dalbeth.
I'm not sure that there is an easy way of finding out. Glasgow City Archives hold burial registers, but I don't think they have been digitised and you would have to go (or have a researcher go on your behalf) and trawl through them until you found him. As you know when he died, that would save some time.
