UPDATED! Stirlingshire deaths - Brilliant reference site

[daval57]

I've just come across a brilliant point of reference.

It is mostly Stirlingshire but also covers much of Lanarkshire, East Dunbartonshire, Clackmannanshire, Berwickshire and Glasgow too.

For a small fee, it is possible to get an index of stones in the cemeteries below, ideal for libraries and Family History Societies.

However, if you know specifically who you are looking for, and that the person is definitely in a particular cemetery, they will do a free search of the indices for you.

For a fiver (5GBP), I got a full set of photos of a stone in Larbert plus a transcript of the MI.  Brilliant! Quality photos too - see below.

Well worth contacting.

Hi Dave. 

Thank you for posting the link to the Cemeteries.

Found some in Cumbernauld.

Much appreciated.

Brilliant Sandy.  Glad you got a result.  Are you applying for the photos?  Would be great to hear if you are as pleased as I am.

PS Just nipping down to the shop for the Telegraph.  Looking forward to the article on the Italian campaign.

Not sure as not my tree, it's my friend's. 

I have just sent her the link and asked her to play. 

Enjoy the article.

Just an update Dave. 

My friend sent for one we knew to be hers, and got a word doc of the
stone transcription and where the grave was in the Churchyard,
also a picture of the Church.

The Gravesone itself she received  5 photographs off.

Brilliant for £5.00.

Excellent result Sandy.

Have to agree, Brilliant!!! I found some people that I wasn't even looking for, where I really didn't expect them to be.

Dave, just as an aside, did I ever ask you if you have any ladies in your Forrest tree with the unusual first name of Veir?

Brilliant Lindsay, Glad the site helped you. 
Did you just pinch the info, or are you going for the photos too?

I'm not sure about copyright issues but I'd love to see some of the results posted here just to emphasise how good the results are.  I must contact the site owners and ask whether it's OK.


As for Veir Forrest, I'll PM you.

Dave
