Thanks Fiona
Re my Stephen Brotherstone, is his wife Margaret Thomson listed, or any clue that she was his wife?   Trying to confirm that this is 'our' Stephen.
We really appreciate your doing these look-ups.

Thank you for looking for the Smiths in the cemetery.  They were definitely resident in Tranent in the censuses on High Street, and after Isabella died William was still resident there with his spinster daughter Margaret until the 1881 census then I couldn't find him on the 1891.
So I wonder where they were buried.

I didn't hold out much hope for the Gavines, I can't trace them at all.  Just father on Isabella's (the daughter of Isabella and William) wedding cert at Tranent who was down just as .....Gavine, miller at Bruslain Mill.

Thank you once again.

Hi

No Margaret Thomson listed neither, apart from OPR's or Church Records I don't know how you will go about proving they are yours.

Some of my Husbands families were living in Tranent & surrounding areas, but very few seem to have Stones. Lots of people were buried in graveyards but could not afford memorials, which makes it harder for us to find them,

Hi
I wonder can anyone point me in the right direction please, I am trying to trace the burial site of my Grt Grt grandparents.  I know they both died in Tranent, my Grt Grt Grandfather was James Watt, Blacksmith born 1805 died 1877 and Grt Grt Grandmother was Margaret Hay born 1804 and died 1881 - according to her death certificate she died a pauper  . They married Nov 1833 if that will help. 

I don't know where to start looking to find out burial sites so any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Many Thanks

Hazel.

Hi:

I am trying to find my relatives that were in the Tranent area.  Specifically, Christian Knox (b. about 1765) that married Alexander MacKenzie.  I am also looking for her parents who I believe are John Knox and Christian Bleaky - I would appreciate it if you could look at the MI from Tranant.

Thank you in advance.
