East Lothian (Haddingtonshire) / Re: Dunbar Cemeteries
« on: Monday 30 April 18 08:59 BST (UK) »
I have just done a search on Find a Grave at both Dunbar parish church and Deer Park grave yards, nothing listed in either. That is not exceptional though as not all of the headstones are included in the lists, the parish church cemetery list is 56% and the Deer Park cemetery is 95%.
I have also tried to find out when Deer Park cemetery opened but I have come up with a blank on that as well, was it before or after 1958?
Ah well I will have to keep trying

Unfortunately there is not a lot of background scenery, (unless you count what looks like a skip near the top right of the photograph).
Does it look as if there is a wall going along the top/back of the photograph? Or a white painted wall corner adjacent to the skip?
I have used both Google and Bing maps but neither give either sufficient resolution or proximity to determine any of the headstones that can be seen using the maps.
I would be most grateful for any information any posters can provide.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Suzilad,
I know where they were, next door to the stables, I had a few memorable holidays staying there in the early 1950's with my grandfather and stepgrandmother. There is however a dearth of information and practically no photographs of the houses that were on the Edinburgh road just inside the gates and in front of the malt buildings in that time period. There are a few earlier photographs from the rear of the site, but unfortunately none from the front, or in the period when my grandfather lived there and worked in the Maltings.
Thanks for your advice anyway.

Gillian, thanks for the tip, however I don't subscribe to Facebook (or any of the other social sites) I'm a bit paranoid about how much information such sites ask for.
I shall check the internet to see if Lost Dunbar has a regular web page, if not I will probably ask my daughter to check as she has a Facebook account.
Who knows it might shed some light on Beltonford Maltings, which seems to be conspicuous in its absence on the Haddington/East Lothian sites I have looked at.
Once again thanks for the tip
George

Thanks for the information about the cemeteries, I doubt the family had a plot in the parish church cemetery as my grandfather was Rothes and moved to the Beltonford Maltings in the late 1930's or early 1940's.
Having the name of the Deer Park cemetery helps in that I will be able to do a search on-line to see if anything is available.
Thanks and Regards

Many thanks to everyone who contributed, all the replies have given me a lot to work on and hopefully help me in my quest for more information about my forbears.

Thanks for the info and links.
I shall have to set aside a bit more time to revise my itinerary to make sure I can see as much as possible during my trip.
On a lighter note, the last time I was in the Aberdeenshire area, (during my basic training at Brig-o-Don) I was plagued by horseflies and rather large ones at that, what's the prognosis for the horsefly population these days?

Ruskie,
I was thinking the same thing myself, are Auchidoun and Auchindoir the same, could be I misread the handwriting on the document, on one document I have Lumsden, Auchindoir and on another document I have Manse of Auchindoir, in the parish of Auchindoir & Kearn, Aberdeenshire. Maybe I will have to travel a bit further afield, (good job I will have my own transport), and maybe I should post a message on the Aberdeenshire forum as well.
Once again Thanks & Regards
