Burial Index's for Newbattle and Newton

[Elaine48]

Sorry but I have the Newbattle New Graveyard Index and neither William or Jane are listed. With those dates I think they are probably in the old churchyard. I have no idea if those have been indexed yet.

Hello; Just new to RC.  Seeking info from Burial Index for William Ramage d 1854 & his wife Jean (Jane) Irvine Ramage d 1860.  Both death records state Newbattle Cemetery.  Can anyone assist me with a look up?  Thank you :-)

Thank you for your time.  I will keep searching as I am planning a visit there this year. :-)

The old cemetery is right next to the new one. But be careful. The ground in the old one is very unstable, most of the stones are unreadable and lying on the ground. Also unless they were wealthy there probably isn't a stone. They would just have been buried in an unmarked plot. So don't be disappointed if you don't find them.  Best just to get the death record from Scotlandspeople. Or if you're going to Register House ask if they have an index for the old burial ground. Best of luck, Elaine

Thank you for your time.  I will keep searching as I am planning a visit there this year. :-)

Looking to trace a headstone and Information of a James Stewart & Janet Renton.
I suspect they were buried in Newbattle/Stobhill between 1880-1900
Children: Jean, Marion, James, William, Adam, Elizabeth, Isabella, Margaret, Williamina.
They lived from Penicuik, Roslin, Lasswade, Stobhill.
(Albeit: I can only find a death with the name Janet Denholm, still working on seeing if the same person)

Thank You Elaine, apologies for the very late reply, I don't seem to get a massage from rootschat to my emails. This is indeed the grave of my 3rd Great Grandparents. When lockdown is over i am going to visit as I'd like to pay my respects and take photo of their headstone.

Is it possible to get a copy of the Index. I'd like to check for any other members. My email is *, if not, thanks for your trouble, so appreciated.

I am looking for a grave from 1883 he died a nearby at 7 Lothian Road at the home of his sister in law Hellen Hay.
Are there any graves for Hays or Duncans in either graveyard?

[Elaine48]

The Newton burials are only up to 1854. There are no Hays in Newbattle but many Duncans. Need more info, like the first name?
