Cemetary for ID (Scotland)
« on: Wednesday 26 November 14 15:32 GMT (UK) »
Hi

With no buildings in the background I think this is going to be very tough, but looking for what cemetery this could be.

The date of death is 1919 and my relation was living in Pollockshields, Glasgow at date of death.

Thanks

I think the nearest cemetery for Pollokshields would be The Southern Necropolis, Caledonian Road.

Depends a bit on religion ?  See here : http://www.southernnecropolis.com.   The contact on this website has lair records, and has helped me in the past. 

Glasgow Herald and Evening Times archives (on Google) may throw up a death notice - is the date 23rd? Oct 1919.
NEILSON - Erskine/Bishopton, Renfrewshire and Glasgow
BROWN - Hamilton, Lanarkshire
CAIRNS - Hamilton, Lanarkshire
FINDLAY - Kirriemuir area, Forfarshire/Angus
PORTER - Tobermore, Derry, Ireland
