That looks a lovely place. The little church is so quaint. I used to have a dream for many years and could never figure out the place...as years went by the house on the hill i used to dream about was still there and there used to be a huge lake river....much like this place you sent me Forfarian. I am starting to think maybe that has been my dream all along...the house on the hill is the kirk....

Margaret Cameron who is buried in Smeaton's Ground 1835 was married to Farquhar Cameron. I have his discharge papers with some interesting information that has helped me find his birth place. He was born in the Parish of Kilmorack?? On his discharge in 1808 he was at the soldiers hospital in Ireland. Is it possible he would have stayed there or did the soldiers get taken back to there homeland? I am wondering if they would bury a soldier in the same grounds as his wife Margaret Cameron? I can't find a death for him or a birth. I have been reading about all the regiments he was in and looks like Ireland was an area. He was in the 2nd Garrison and the Captain was Cameron and the Lieutenant was John Robinson and one other name John Smith. He was also in the 97th foot, 74th foot, 26th foot and the Marines in Portsmouth. This was all from 1794 - 1808. Thanks in advance. Kristina Cameron

Thanks everyone.  At least we have an idea of this mystery.  Kristina, our relatives are buried together.  This is the first time I have heard that someone else had a relative buried in " Smeaton Ground"  Thank you again.  I think that I might see about  the Cannongate old cemetery records, just in case I find a Smeaton.  I doubt that I will find anything with a reference stone to Anne, as I know they were too poor to buy a headstone.  If I find anything else I will be sure to post it here.

Isn't it lovely that these kind people have taken the time to help us. I now lie in bed hoping the next day i can come in here and find yet another clue to my elusive Cameron family. I am very greatful. It's nice to also think that 2 of their descendants are looking for them. Kindest regards Kristina Cameron.

Hello

Not sure how to attach a small link but I found it on Scotland'speople in the OPR for Edinburgh
Margaret Cameron 14/02/1835

Thanks for your help

Her son William Cameron died in 1858 and was buried in Warriston Cemetery and that opened about 1848 (from memory) I am not sure what the DC means after the number 172 DC East of Smeaton's Ground or is it RC as they were Roman Catholic.
