Cemetery Look-Up Please/ Inverness

[Aley]

Would like to find where Walter Ross is buried. The last info we have on him, is the 1861 Inverness Petty Census. On the census it has his age being 55 a farmer.
Wife, Catherine.
Children: Isabella, Charles, William, Walter, James,.
In 1862 they had a daughter, Margaret.
In 1871 Catherine is a widow.

   Also would like to know where Catherine Ross ( wife of Walter ) is buried. She was a tenant on the Brackley  Farm. Believe she died about 1900/1901.

Thanks   Aley

Thank you for the info.

   It might be the right Walter Ross. Even though his age is different from the 1862 census.  (Not by much )
 I had come across some family members in other census, in each census year, they had down different ages. Had one put down that she was born in the same year as her husband.  Her birth record had her being born eight years before.

I am looking for the headstone of a Donald McLennan, a "Flesher" who died at Beauly (Lower Bridgend) on 21 May 1885. He doesn't seem to have a headstone in the Beauly/Kilmorack area - might he have been buried at one of the Inverness cemeteries or did bodies not get taken that far?

Might the burials for this area be avaialble electronically somewhere? Or even in a book?
