HI new to this so not sure how to message apanderson, but i was wondering if you would be so kind as to try and locate a lady for me. She is meant to have died in Denny in 1856 but i cant find a record of this so wondered if maybe there was a memorial inscription anywhere. Her name is Marjory McGinlay possibly McKinlay maiden name O'Neil. Her father Arthur O'Neil also died in 1856 and the certificate says Burial Grounds of Denny. Would be grateful for any info regarding Denny McGinlays. Thankyou Barbara

Hello Babs - welcome to Rootschat!  (Hi Billy, long time no speak!!)

Denny Cemetery is out as it wasn't established till towards the end of the 1880's.

No stones for M(a)Ginlays, M(a)Kinlays or O'Neil(l)s in Denny Old Parish Churchyard, Dennyloanhead Churchyard, Broompark Churchyard or Dunipace Old Burial Ground, so even if Marjory and her father are buried in one of them, there's nothing to mark their grave.

Sorry!

Anne

HI Anne thanks for your quick reply     I suppose as they were poor coal miners only just over from Ireland they must have been in paupers graves.  I wish people would put their sources when they have a date, I dont like accepting things in blind faith and its frustrating trying to find the evidence. Oh well just another brick wall for now

Hi Babs,

Doesn't look as though Marjory died in Denny (or anywhere else in Stirlingshire for that matter between 1855 - 1858). I had a wee look on SP using the following search criteria:

You searched for: Surname: "m*c*inl*y"; Surname Option: Wildcard; Forename: ""; Forename Option: Prefix; Sex: "Female"; Year From: 1855; Year To: 1858; County: STIRLING;

(Using * opens up all the variations)

1 1857 MACINLAY MARGARET MCDEAD SCANLAN F 48 BALDERNOCK /STIRLING 471/00 0001   
2 1855 MACKINLAY JANE YEMAN MAITLAND F 62 CAMPSIE /STIRLING 475/00 0055   
3 1857 MCGINLEY CATHARINE DOUGHERTY   F 8 CAMPSIE /STIRLING 475/00 0157

While anyone is looking in Denny cemetery,can you let me know if you come across Grace Wardlaw Hendry(maiden name Stein)died 2001 and my auntie.Also about the only person I remember with any degree of affection from my bizarre childhood.

George.

Hi George,

Why not e-mail Falkirk Council and ask if they can confirm Grace's place of burial?

http://www.falkirk.gov.uk/services/community/cemeteries_and_crematorium/cemeteries.aspx

I'm not sure what the situation is regarding cremation records - could Grace have been cremated? If that was the case, then it would probably have been at Falkirk Crematorium, within the Cemetery at Camelon.
