Does anyone have access to Westcalder Cemetary records - Weir
« on: Friday 27 July 07 23:10 BST (UK) »
Hi

Does anyone have access to the records of Westcalder Cemetary or know where, if at all, they can be accessed from?

I am trying to find:

William Henry Weir, died 1981 & Nellie Weir (nee Haggarty) 1998.  I know they were buried in Westcalder cemetary & the grave was full when Nellie was laid to rest.  What other generation is in the grave?

Thanks

Mark

Hi there,

I was going to West Calder cemetery in search of some other gravestones, when I thought I would take a note of your details and have a look.

Unfortunately, I was not able to find anything throughout the whole cemetery.  There could be a few explanations for this ie: firstly, that I missed it! but also a lot of the older headstones are barely legible and as you said they were buried with someone else, I may not have noticed it when it has another surname heading it.

Sorry. :(
