Went to Westgate Hill Cemetery yesterday as been very ill with this flu bug going around thus the delay lol
It's in a very poor state, I had a good look around once I stepped over the junkies lying flat out stoned. Nothing to report I'm afraid and with it being such a dodgy area didn't really want to get the camera out lol sorry hun
Have attached a photo of the entrance

Cheers

I have an ancestors buried as below. They are Andrew Robinson (known also as Robertson but as Robinson his death cert) and Isabella Robinson nee McDougal. Don't know if the headstone is still there, by the look of it they are in the same plot.

The Common Room / Sharing Family History
« on: Friday 09 February 18 10:19 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to think of the best way to display my family history to share with other members of my family in an easy to read format something like a blog maybe.
A few questions to those that have done this.
Can I show census and birth indexes records on a blog or are they copyrighted?
Is a blog the best way to go or are there better methods out there on the net.
Most family members won't want to read through sources so want the most lay man method available.
Any help or ideas welcome thanks

I had a heart attack at 25 and cancer at 30 so I would probably be a gonna.
My Wife had pre-eclampsia and was very close to death. So she'd be a gonna and my daughter was born 10 weeks early weighing 1lb so defiantly a gonna.
So huge thank you to the NHS and modern times

The Common Room / Re: Simpson Marriage needed totally baffled
« on: Wednesday 07 February 18 15:09 GMT (UK) »Marriages March qtr 1840
EMBLETON Eleanor Tynemouth 20 392
EDIT
Tree on FS shows she married Walter Blakey and died 1849
Just as an aside, the marriage could be cross-checked on the North Tyneside site, which confirms Walter Blakey. http://www.northtyneside.gov.uk/marriage-register.shtmlI can't find anything on SP either - thought they may have married there
It could have been an 'Irregular' cross-border marriage at Coldstreamhttp://www.rootschat.com/links/01lgs/ The problem with these is that they weren't all recorded.
Perhaps they didn't get married at all
Three cheers for Jen she was correct
Richard Simpson did marry Eleanor Embleton on a cross border marriage at Lamberton Toll 18th July 1841
And they were Presbyterian
Jen's always right you know
