Hi all.
Recently discovered my great grandmother is buried here so in the next couple of weeks, weather permitting, I am going to take a look for her grave.
If anyone else has ancestors that they know are buried there, give me the details and I'll have a look and take photos and MI.

Depending on the response I get, I MIGHT open my search for people that are only possibly buried there.

PLEASE DON'T WASTE TIME POSTING GUESSES FOR THE TIME BEING.  I will not respond.

Hi Dave,

If it dries up anytime soon, any chance you could do my McLeods?

Hi Dave, you did such a fantastic job with my GWD and Eliza his wife. I can't remember if that 'dusty old ledger' gave any light on the 'Ramsays/Ramseys' though. If you are ever able to look at it again or can recall, they remain a mystery. (Incidentally, Sarah Thomson who married GSWD has turned up in Melbourne General Cemetery, Aus alone- died 14/04/1897)

Rena,  there is a post on "scotfamtree" at present which features the Crumm's of Thornliebank, it's under Tanhill, worth a wee look.....Skoosh.

thanks Skoosh

Rena, I took a trip to the Ramshorn but failed to find the stone for Crum yet its in there somewhere, the cemetery has been considerably tarted up, the Council have planted ivy etc' which is covering some of the stones. Why don't you post here for Crum/The Ramshorn and see if somebody comes up with the transcription......Skoosh.

[Rena]

thanks for trying skoosh.  I do hope they haven't planted ivy that digs feelers into the stone!!!

[Skoosh]

Rena,  try this site,  http://www.memento-mori.co.uk   there are some Crums in the Necropolis which is where the better-off moved to when the Ramshorn was full......Skoosh.

[Rena]

aw skoosh that's really nice of you to follow up.  I'm pleased to say that I've already got the information and photographs from the www.memento-mori.co.uk website.

I hope your kind act is returned to you many times - what goes around comes around eh?

Merry Christmas and a fruitful New Year 

Rena

Does anyone have access to further information and images of this Cemetery?

I am based in NZ and plan on being in Scotland in June this year.. It would be wonderful if anyone can offer some guidance as to the layout of the Cemetery in advance to arriving.. I plan on heading to this sacred ground

Many thanks for any further information
