Greetings,

If anyone is strolling through Rosehill cemetery, I wonder if they could locate a headstone for: David Robb who died June 25th 1859 aged 71. As his son was in business, he could be lucky enough to have a headstone.

It is my hope that David's wife, Elizabeth, is buried with him.

Thanking you in advance.

Yes, Lynda, it would be great if you could locate the grave.

I have contacted Angus Council to see if they can provide lair details.

HI Lynda,

I have just received another message saying my request will be passed on, again. So, I won't have any information for you.

In both emails I stated I was in Australia and that you were doing this kind favour for me. Sad really.

Never mind I know that David won't go walkabout and with any luck he's in the lair next to your ancestors.

Hi Jam Jar,
I am leaving Edinburgh at 8.30 in the morning, so this will leave me plenty of time to go and have a look for you. Wish I had thought and I would have emailed them myself. I usually get a reply in 2housrs from them. Will send picky if I get on and locate the grave.

Take care,
Lynda
