Lookig for burial place of my gread grandmother

[katiesymonds]

Can anyone help please. I am looking for the burial place of my great grandmother Jessie Hay. She was born 7th October 1879 in Lossiemouth Morayshire. She married a Thomas Stewart Hay on the 7th June 1907. She died at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary on 16th March 1931. I believe her illness was so severe she was sent to Edinburgh for treatment but died there. I just cannot find details of her burial place. Wondered if anyone can suggest the best places to look for information. Thanks

Katie,

There are some details - nothing about a headstone unfortunately - about Jessie on the Moray Heritage Centre website, specifically their Libindx System. http://libindx.moray.gov.uk/mainmenu.asp

Her parents were James Whyte Cooper and Annie Munro - although her maiden name was White - and (at some point) she lived at Jointurelands, Calcots, Elgin.  Thomas Hay was a farm labourer.

The Reference is NM270180

Hope this is of some use.

Thanks Stuart. Yes that is my grandmother. I have found the details on that site but I am having problems finding out where she was buried. The people at the heritage centre are very good so maybe i will have to go down there one aftertnoon and see what i can dig up. I would really love to know where she is buried though.

I had a look at the Moray Burial Ground Research Group website - nothing about Jessie (that I could find!)

Can you be sure that Cooper isn't his occupation rather than his surname?

Thanks. His occupation was a cooper. His surname is Whyte.
