Burial at Ayton.

[aitchscot]

My Great Great Grandfather Robert Jenkinson died at Ayton Law in 1918. His wife pre deseased him at Swinton in 1905.

My Great Grandfathers wife Jane Jenkinson died at Ayton Law in 1930.
My Great Grandfather T G Aitchison died at Dalkieth Hospital in 1949.
Witnesses from 1949 said the cortege left and went to Ayton Cemetery.

In the 1980's my Grandfather could not recall where his Grampaw, Mother or father were buried, during a visit there in @ 1981  ? He just stood at the gate & shrugged saying "the place has fairly filled up since 1930".

Berwickshire Council could not tell me a few years ago where my Great Grandparents were interred? They don't have the records for Section A of Ayton Kirk Yard. Lost.

Is there any other way of finding out where a person is buried in a Cemetery?

Try the Scottish Borders Council - Burials/Graveyards Dept they should have the Liar Books - they also have an advice remit.

Thanks Teri,

I already checked them last year. They did not know. It was them that told me they did not know exactly where they were buried.

Thanks

might be worth trying again - I've heard they have revamped the service and it can depend who you speak to

Also try the MI's for Ayton  and the surrounding parishes the libraries have copies.

According to the Ayton M.I. book in 1998, there are no Jenkinsons listed.

Yep, they are most definitely there. No headstone unfortunately.
