Burial Scans for Fraserburgh
« on: Monday 07 January 19 15:52 GMT (UK) »
Hi, is anyone familiar with burial scans?

We found the burial scan for a relative who was interred in Fraserburgh, we did visit the cemetery but unfortunately it was just too big to find one plot as there isnt any numberings or signs to say which part is the part we were looking for :-(

The plot we were looking for was for Annie Clerihew who died on March 16th 1938 and was interred on March 19th 1938.  Trying to decipher the burial scan we think it says CC IB lair 1556.  Does anyone know what this means and where it might possibly be located?

Thanks

You don't say which cemetery this is.  There are a number of cemeteries in the Fraserburgh.

The reference CC BB probably refers to a certain area in the cemetery while the lair number will indicate the grave number within that area.

You may need to contact Aberdeenshire council cemeteries to find out if there is a cemetery map to help you.  The contact details for the Banff & Buchan area are here:

Hi Nell,

thanks for replying, I didn't know there was another cemetery in Fraserburgh so that could be why we couldn't find it.  We were in the Kirkton Fraserburgh as the burial scan only says interred in Fraserburgh so we assumed that was the only one as we are from the North East so don't know the layout of the land but I will contact Aberdeenshire council about that. 

Thanks :-)

Yes we knew Adam Clerihew was buried with her, we just weren't sure which cemetery but you have just confirmed it was the Kirkton fraserburgh.

I have emailed Aberdeen Council to see if they know where about in the cemetery they would be as it's too big to walk around blindly (like we did) as the dates are not in sequence so hopefully they will come back and say roughly where about it is or I can find a map of the burial plots.

Thanks for confirming 😊
