Hi, Ordiquhill is on the Banff to Keith road, a few miles outside Cornhill.  There is a church at Ordiquhill, although I'm not sure if it has a graveyard (I could check next time I'm driving that way).

There is a small walled kirkyard at Ordiquhill, I think. I believe I visited it many moons ago, but didn't find what I was looking for!  ???

Hi, I drove past today and yes, there is a small graveyard there.  I had no time to stop, but if you want me to I could look for a headstone marked Donaldina Gray next time I'm passing?

Had a look yesterday. Gray is a common name in Ordiquhill but I didn't notice any of the first names you mentioned.
