Morningside deaths - where might they be buried?
« on: Wednesday 18 July 18 19:32 BST (UK) »
I suppose there might be a number of cemeteries in the local area (and I'm local!).  Any ideas on where the most likely burial place is for the following who would have been living at 49 Falcon Gardens, Morningside?

Mary Anderson (nee Scott), aged 66 died 17 Jun 1920
William Forsyth Anderson, aged 70 died 19 Mar 1924
Margaret Rutherford Young (nee Anderson, their daughter) aged 39, died 17 Jan 1919

much appreciate your help.

There are death notices in the Scotsman for both Mary and William, but both say just say ‘funeral private’. The following obit for William appeared in the Scotsman.
Clotworthy, McMahon, Saunderson, Culley (Ireland & Scotland)
Weatherall, Greer (Ireland & Scotland)
Hamilton, Johnston, Dawson, Rennie, Wright (Clackmannanshire)

Kit, there is now a charge of £17.50 per hour to search for up to 4 people's burials details. See www.edinburgh.gov.uk/info/20019/burials_and_cremations/316/burial_records/1

Thanks to you all for taking the time to respond.

Suzilad, I had to google the whereabouts of Morningside Cemetery.  Wow, I must have passed close by on the main Morningside Road so many times.  I had no idea it was there.  Tempted now to go and take a peek.

isobelw, I really appreciate the Scotsman article.  I really should learn how to search the newspaper site  ::)

Don't mind paying the money to know exactly where they were buried, so I might very well go down that route.  Thanks MonicaL for the info.

Another possibility is Grange Cemetery, Grange Road. You go up Morningside Road turn right along Strathearn Road and it is on the right hand side.

You now have 2 possible locations to search.

Happy grave hunting.

FindMyPast have the burial records and monumental inscriptions for Grange Cemetery. You can locate them in the Scotland registers and records section. There are also MI's in this section for other Edinburgh Cemeteries  e.g Liberton.

Edinburgh Central Library has lots of booklets of MI's for Edinburgh cemeteries (downstairs in the Scottish Library). Pretty sure that Morningside Cemetery is one of them.

Dent (Haltwhistle and Sacriston), Bell and Jetson (Haltwhistle), Postle, Ward, Longstaff, Purvis, Manners, Parnaby and Hardy (Co. Durham), Kennedy and McRobert (Banffshire), Reid(Bathgate), Watson (Wemyss), Graham (Libberton), Sandilands (Carmichael), Munro (Dingwall)
