Aberdeenshire / Tarves Cemeteries
« on: Saturday 11 August 18 23:08 BST (UK)  »
Hi I wonder if anyone can help me I was looking for my ancestors who were buried in Tarves burial ground according to ANESFHS  MI`s I visited Scotland 5 years ago and I went to Tarves parish church and looked around the kirkyard looking for graves stone: 261 belonging to the following
Robert Brechen d:1 Apr 1797, his wife Margaret Gaven d: 17 May 1809
Margaret Adam   d: 9 Mar 1811, and her husband George Breichen  d:9 Oct 1821 would they be buried in the grounds of the parish church ?. Another member of the family visited Tarves recently and said there was some fairly newish markers in the church grounds and she didnt think the above would be buried here. My question is would there be another cemetery or kirkyard in Tarves that would fit there dates of death? any help would be appreciated
