Pre-1855 Deaths in Perth

[AlisonAus]

Such brilliant information; thank you so much! My sister aims to be visiting Perth in the next few weeks so I'm gathering as much information as I can for her.
Can you find any reference to Crichton (or Crighton)? The mother was a Sligo (daughter of Archibald and Grace) and her three young sons died within weeks of each other in 1874 and then her husband in the early part of 1875, leaving her with just a baby daughter. My grandfather, her nephew, was sent to live with her when his mother died. I wonder if I can find out where they were buried.

Oops, I've just reread the title of this thread and realise that it's pre-1855, so don't worry about it.

Do you have names of the deceased?

If they died in Perth City they will most likely be buried at Wellshill Cemetery.

Do you have the address or area they lived/died?

Thank you so much for this information on my Sligo relatives in Greyfriars burial ground. 👏

In the Summer of 1959 while my parents were honeymooning in Scotland, my Grandfather asked Mum to take a side trip to Perth to find this grave. Funnily enough, she said ‘no’. 😆
65 years later, I’m now in Perth for the first time, and I found them. 👍 Grandfather would be very pleased indeed!

For others who might be looking and stumble across this post in future years, it is closest to the entrance off Tay St. if you enter off the main entrance, walk left and follow the path around to the right until you just about reach the other entrance. It will be on your right, two rows in, lying flat on the ground. There is no upright section to this grave marker. It is behind one that has, at this stage, a very clear 1840 at the top of its headstone.
Thank you again for your help! It was invaluable.
