Yes indeed, well done.

I searched again in the Scotsman Digital Archive for Milward Crooke, and none of these last few articles were found. Searching for Crooke alone did find Emily's death, but it found 796 other results, which is rather many to search through. I fail to understand why!

I think there's a 'knack' to it like everything else!

Some newspaper clippings:

1. Edinburgh Evening News, Wednesday 24th April 1901, Pg 2
2. Scotsman, Wednesday 24th April 1901, Pg 8

Also in Dundee Evening Telegraph, same date (no image downloaded)

Can't find anything about burial details.

3. Millward Crooke Jnr., Scotsman, 15th May 1901, Pg 16

Hello CC.

I can send you a couple of general views showing the CWG stones in Buchanan Churchyard Extension and the Church if it's of any help.

The stones are all grouped together and the photos show these. I visited the Churchyard a year or so ago and didn't take individual photos as they were already on the Scottish War Graves Project page. Unfortunately, all these photos have now been blocked by Photobucket as they no longer allow free 3rd party hosting.

I'm not the only one who has 'moments' then?

Any further forward finding Peter?

Below is a Death Notice from the Stirling Observer, 20th (& 23rd) April 1918. Doesn't help with the place of burial though. I've left the other Ferguson death in case it's of any interest
