I visited the Newbattle Old Cemetery recently, but without being able to find my family plot and headstone. I wrote to Midlothian Council who replied with a copy of the layout by plots. I've attached a PDF file of the layout to help people potential locate plots if you know the plot number.

When I visited Newbattle and Lasswade I took some random pictures, uploaded then to find-a-grave with a little research. I also found out about neighbouring plots to my James Stewart and have added them also with some research. I hope to revisit and take much much more pictures and upload them to Find a Grave which I use because it freely available with minimal ads and easy to use.

I am still trying to see if any other of my Stewart Family are in this cemetery.
My unaccounted for Family
Jane Stewart (b.1839 Penicuik) entry in 1841 census (suspect died before 1851)
Marion Stewart (b.abt 1841 Lasswade - 1913 Colinton, Edinburgh) married James McDougal
James Stewart (b.1843 Newton Village) entry in 1851 census only
Janet Stewart (b.abt 1845 Lasswade) entry in 1851 census only
William Stewart (b.abt 1848 Roslin) entry 1851 & 1861 only
Adam Stewart (b.abt 1850 Roslin - d.1925 Lasswade) married Helen Reid
Elizabeth Stewart (b.abt 1853 Lasswade) entry 1861 & 1881 only (married Griffin but not UK records)
Isabella Stewart (b.1856 Lasswade - 1887 Dalmeny, near Queensferry)
Margaret Stewart (b.1862 Lasswade) Suspect she married a John Murray Leishman both died at Errol
Jessie Williamina Stewart (b. 1866 Lasswade - d.1907 St George Edinburgh) spinster

Elizabeth Griffin nče Stewart is someone I really want to find out more about but have hit a road block. She had a daughter Eliza (1879 Stobhill - 1882 Borthwick) and a son Charles (1877 Stobhill - 1945 Edinburgh) he married a Isabella Adams.

Check your email Gavin. I've sent you the link. 

Neither myself nor the other admin can see your request. It's not the Cardenden then and now. It's the History of Auchterderran, Bowhill, Cardenden & Dundonald. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483803408581366/

Thank you I have requested to be added to the group, if you could accept me I would really appreciate it!

The old cemetery is right next to the new one. But be careful. The ground in the old one is very unstable, most of the stones are unreadable and lying on the ground. Also unless they were wealthy there probably isn't a stone. They would just have been buried in an unmarked plot. So don't be disappointed if you don't find them.  Best just to get the death record from Scotlandspeople. Or if you're going to Register House ask if they have an index for the old burial ground. Best of luck, Elaine

Thank you for your time.  I will keep searching as I am planning a visit there this year. :-)
