I was looking for for info on Arkleston cemetery when I found this thread. I have an older brother buried there,he died in the 1920's when he was two. I haven't been back to Paisley since 1955 but will be returning with my husband,chlldren and grandchildren in August  and I would like to visit his grave but I have no idea where it's located. Does anybody know if that information is available at the cemetery, or is there somewhere else I can go to find it.

Thanks for any help.

if you go into the arkleston cementry. just inside the gate on the lefthand side you will see some huts if you go into them and ask the man in there he will help you he will even phone up and ask the main office for the place and row your family are on.. i hope this helps you i stay in renfrew and i did this before so good luck and i hope this helps you.

the hut has been moved now when you go through the main gates the hut is now on your right handside. there where hoping to make the graveyard bigger as it is nearly full up. but now the people who own the farm and land have asked if they can build a new cemetery and cremation place and have been given the go ahead. but dont know if they are going to do it now

Hi rhgs

William's suggestion is best. If you approach council they will charge you £26 per half hour for priv of looking which you prob don;t need.

Hope you enjoy your visit

Thank you Ann and William for the information.  We moved to the US when I was 14 and I always felt like he was left behind.

Hello All,

I have recently discovered my great grandparents, William James and Margaret Perry, nee Donaldson are buried at Arkleston Cemetery, Renfrew. William died 21 August 1943 at 1 Haining Road, Renfrew, the home of my late grandparents, Joseph and Mary Reid. Margaret died 20 December 1925.

I wondered if anyone would be kind enough, if visiting Arkleston Cemetery, to locate their grave and post any inscription there might be? I hope this request doesn't seem to cheeky!
