Hi Deirdre, Thank you for the info I will check with my family tree to see if they connect, was wondering if you have Keenan or Gallacher in your tree ?

Hi Gerry,

Can you please send me the information you have for Murphy's buried at St Peter's cemetery.

Also I have confirmation from a distant relative that Biago Rinaldi had a private lair. Where can I find more information or photos.

Hi Gerry

I was wondering if you send me the information you have for Smith buried at Dalbeth (101 & 102 on the list).  We are trying to locate my Great Grandparents grave with very little info so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a MI for Lair 79.  My relatives, Peter Connell, a still born was the first to be buried there in 1871.  Followed in 1873 by another still born also called Peter Connell.  The father Peter Connell is buried in 1887.

Then my Grans brother William Gilmour is buried there in 1892 only a few months old.  Then my Gran's grandmother, Helen Connell (nee Bonar) is buried 1906.  Connell was her 2nd married name.

And finally my Grans aunt Margaret Craig Gilmour is buried in 1938 there. 

Many thanks and sorry if I may have asked this before.  I cannot recall now, but I've just stumbled across the 1938 burial due to the free Roman Catholic registers on FindMyPast this weekend.

Does anyone know if Old Dalbeth Cemetery is accessible to the public? I saw on earlier posts that it was closed for "restoration" about eight years ago, but haven't seen an update regarding reopening. We will be in Glasgow in a few days' time and I'm wondering if it's worth a visit.

I just want to thank Gerry for doing this work, and hopefully you're still replying to PMs as I've just located Ann Dougan in Dalbeth (34, I think) and will be contacting you shortly.
