Thanks again for all your comments, I have reported the missing page 93 to Ancestry and I also sent an email to Dumfries Council asking if they could copy it for me (in case Ancestry doesn't come good

Thanks to all who replied I've gained some interesting info.
"hmcc" I found the entries re David & Isabella in D12 but having scrolled through 500 odd pages D13 is completely missing. I agree with your comment that Margaret Holden Shannon is quite probably in D13 as well as her parents, however the link you provided didn't work.
In an aside I located a book called "Memorials of St Michaels, the old Parish Churchyard of Dumfries" and there is a mention of Margaret the 16 year old daughter of William being buried there, I had wondered where she was buried. Now I wonder whether Margaret, her parents William & Jamsie (Jemima) and Margaret Holden Shannon are all buried in D13.
Would anyone living locally mind taking a photo of D12 & D 13 for me if it isn't too inconvenient.

Hi all, my Great-great grandfather William Shannon is listed in Ancestry as having died at Castlebank in 1907 and been buried in "Cemetery, Section D, Grave 13".  I haven't been able to locate a Castlebank Cemetery - does anyone know which Cemetery the entry refers to and is it able to be looked up online.  Unfortunately, I had the same problem with his wife Jamsie, buried at the same location.
Thanks
kevin
