Hi
I have the East Lothian Monumental Inscriptions, Westermost parishes (Tranent, Seton, Prestonpans, Prestonpans West & Ormiston Old Churchyard) The Inscriptions for Tranent Parish Churchyard were listed in June 2005.
There are no Dodds or Skeldons listed but quiet a few Johnstones. If you could give me a few more details I'll look.
East Lothian Monumental Inscriptions, Hillfoot Vilages (Garvald, Innerwick, Moreham, Oldhamstocks, Spott, Stenton, Whittinghame & yester) does have some Skeldons & Dod(d)s. Again if you have more specific names I will Look.

Hi,
   I believe I have some family buried in the old Cemetery, Tranent Parish. The surname is Bryson. Peter would have died 1815 or earlier. Do not know who his wife was but his daughter. Catherine, married William Hogg in 1815. Any information will be appreciated
Regards,
Julia

Hello Caraid
I have just joined Rootschat so am new to the experience!  I am struggling with my Smiths of Tranent.
I have just scrawled down on the thread of Tranent Cemetery and can see how helpful you have been to a lot of people, so I wondered if you can give me any help.
My 3xgreat grandmother Isabella died between 1861/71 and her husband William who was a shoemaker of High St, Tranent died between 1881/91.
Isabella's family name was Gavine according to her parish marriage entry.  Are there any Gavines in the churchyard or cemetery I wonder.
I am keen to follow up on the Gavine name as it has been handed down in the family as a middle name. I don't know if they were Tranent people, but Isabella's father was a miller at Brunslain or Brunstain Mill.
Any little info you can give me would be wonderful.

Was wondering if you are still doing Tranent Parish MI look ups if you would be kind enough to do a quick one for me.  My gg grandmother, Sarah Black ms Telfer or Telford died in Church Street in 1928  as did her daughter Jessie Black in 1902/03.   Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Fiona
I would appreciate it if you would look for my ancestor Stephen BROTHERSTONE in the Tranent Cemetery MIs.  He died on 29 Aug 1797 in the massacre.  His wife's name was Margaret THOMSON.  Perhaps she is also buried there after this date.  Two of their children were Betty (b1778) and John (b 1780) who I don't have any other info on.

Hi Folks
Sorry for late replies

Poppy10 - sorry no mention of these name,. and no
Gavines

Rindercella - No matching names, don't know when the last burials were at old Churchyard, but the large district churchyard was opened in 1920.

Lous_Moon - No mention of a gravestone, just a listing in the Notes at end of book.
