Jessie Hay - (Farquhar) - where buried?

[jneu]

Hello all,

Very first post here - so sorry for any errors. 

I am researching the family tree of my son in law.  And his GGG Grandmother died in 1865 - prior to the family immigrating to Australia.  She was Jessie HAY (Farquahar).  She died at Greenskairs, Gamrie according to death Register - where would she have been buried and would anyone be able to do look up please?

Thanks in advance.

The most likely place is Gamrie kirkyard http://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NJ7962 which is about a mile from Greenskares.

It's possible that she was buried in the old St John's Kirkyard http://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NJ7964 but the MI index at http://www.abdnet.co.uk/mi-index/ doesn't list her.

The bad news is that the burial books for Gamrie are in the care of Aberdeenshire Council, probably at Banff, and Aberdeenshire Council charges the exorbitant sum of £10 per hour[/b] just to look at the books. If the books are properly kept and well indexed it might take only a few minutes, but if they're not it could involve several hours' expensive work ploughing through the records.

Many thanks for that quick response - as we are unlikely to be able to visit - shall pass the info onto Grant (son-in-law) and leave it to him.

Thanks again
