Hi Steven,

I’m heading to Keith on Wednesday all the way from Sydney, Australia and I wondered if you had a map of the burial ground in Keith that would show the grave location? It’s been a long time coming finding this grave and I can’t thank you enough!

Best wishes,
Neil

This could be him buried in Keith Old Cemetery.
There are nine burials in this plot.

You can see a plan of the old kirkyard in the local heritage centre in Elgin Library. The numbers on this plan are the numbers used in LIBINDX for headstones.

I don't know if Keith Library has a copy of the plan.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

I do have a map of the Old Church Yard which shows the location of the plot but it's too big to upload here.
If you send me your email address by pm I'll send you a copy.

Thanks for your help back in October, Steven. I wondered if you could tell me where that map was from? I believe it is dated 1829. I'm contacting the registrar today to see if I can found out why there was no marker or headstone at the plot.

They won't know the reason for that. The decision whether or not to erect a headstone is entirely up to the family. No-one in officialdom is going to ask them why they decided not to.
