Hi Moria have you tried www.deceasedonline/com

Where did her parents die?

If they died in Moray but are not on LIBINDX (NB it is not libindex - the name was created in the days when computer file names could only have 8 letters!) that means that there was no legible gravestone when the Moray burial grounds were surveyed in 1978. And if there is no stone, there would only be anything on FindaGrave etc etc if someone had transcribed the burial records.

There might be a burial record, as opposed to a gravestone, but the Duffus burial records are not exemplary and don't go back very far. Moray Local Heritage Centre should have a copy of the Duffus burials.

Don't waste your time or money on Deceased Online because Moray's burial records are not available on Deceased Online.

1925 and 1934

Yes, I saw those dates above. I asked where they died.

Sorry, Burghead

Sorry, Burghead

So the likelihood is indeed that they're in Duffus cemetery.

Probably, not sure if I could write to the vicar and get confirmation, also there is a cemetery in Burghead but I couldn't locate them on my last visit.

There is no vicar - vicars don't exist in the Church of Scotland, and in any case the churches no longer hold the burial records.

The records of all cemeteries in Moray are in the hands of Moray Council, and microfilm copies are available in the Local Heritage Centre in Elgin.

And if there had been a stone in Burghead or anywhere else in Moray it would have been recorded in the 1978 survey, and the details would be on LIBINDX.
