Dear Ghostwhisperer,
This is a great resource. I will need to do a detailed search. Hopefully I will be in touch if I find someone.
cheers

Re look ups

Sorry I can no longer do look ups as I no longer have the books.  I had borrowed them and had to return them recently.  You may be able to borrow the books from Inverness library if you live in Scotland.  They were called Memorial Inscriptions Parish of Kiltarlity and Convinth & Memorial Inscriptions Parish of Kilmorack or you can buy them for about £17 from the Kilmorack Heritage Society,  info@kilmorack.com. They have several books covering different areas.

ghostwhisperer,
Thanks for the info. regarding Thomas Newell,I would very much appreciate that picture if you could let me have it? I tried clicking on the world symbol and although it took me to the website, as soon as I tried to navigate around it, my computer froze (might be my old computer?)

Hi again,
Thanks once again for your help with Thomas Newell.
I am struggling to find the burials of my Great Grandfather and Mother who both died in Oban in 1889 and 1891. I have drawn a blank in Oban but wondered if possibly they had been buried in Kiltarlity (where my Great Grandmother was brought up as a child).
Their names were:- David Mackintosh (Architect) born in Inverness died 2/4/1891 and Emma Mackintosh (maiden name Newell) born in Pitnacree died 9/6/1889.
I don't know whether it was the custom back then for remains to be transported any distance or should I continue to search in Oban? Your advice would be appreciated
Thanks,
Phil

I have had a look and cant see any sign of them among the stones I have done in the Inverness area, but yes people did transport remains fair distances back then.
