Hi this is my first chat on roots so hope you receive.  Was searching Rosehill cemetery and noticed you were looking for a Robb headstone.  I have a copy Angus monumental inscriptions which includes Montrose Rosehill.  Checked it for David Robb but only Robb entries are for two wives.  If I can check any other names or cemeteries in Angus let me know.   I'm also in Australia.

Angus Council has signed up with DeceasedOnline, so any enquiries to Angus Council about historical burials are referred to that web site. Have they referred you there, and if so have you still been unable to find Amelia Gordon?
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Ah. In that case I have no idea where to go next.

Hi, I live in Canada but both sides of my family are from Scotland: Johnstone near Paisley, and the Montrose area on the other side. I know of 3rd gr grandparents buried in the Rosehill Cemetery in Montrose (3rd gr grandfather David Beattie died Jan 26, 1868 and was buried on Jan 29, 1868), but I have yet to find out who to contact re: a map for the burial sites for Rosehill. I got the burial register for David Beattie from Deceasedonline but, as others have stated, I wish there was a map to help locate the gravestones.  I think someone mentioned there was a fire which destroyed many records there.  There are, unfortunately, many burial records not found thru Deceasedonline.

Would be nice to have more Findagrave volunteers locate and/or photograph gravestones altho it's not always easy due to old stones covered in lichens or they're otherwise unreadable.
