Hi Kevin.  I would appreciate it if you could look up any Bryson family that may be buried there please.  My great grandfather Alexander Bryson died on 19 May 1915.  Thank you so much. 
Raewyn.

Joseph Preston (son of John) had a son William born 20 Feb 1890, who was killed in action in France 18 September 1918.  Joseph was my great grandfather.  He married Helen Inglis 10 June 1887 @ Selkirk.   This family is the Joseph who is mentioned in Post #5.  Nillie (Helen) was my grandmother, who emigrated to NZ with her husband and children in 1925.

the War Memorial shows a William Preston but i got no trace on the War graves web site!!

There was a Sergeant William Preston Killed 26th October 1917, aged 21. He was in the Machine Gun Corps. His father was William Preston, a carter, who was born in Fauldshope in 1859.

It may be him?
