Old Cemetery Rothesay

[ABradley]

Could any one advise me which cemetery in Rothesay would be referred to as 'The Old Cemetery".

I am looking for the gravestone of James Lyon and his wife Annie McDonald.

Not much help but found these;

"A small modem cemetery is located beyond the south side of the old graveyard"

Not sure whether this is it;

You may be able to compare with a modern map for where the 'small modern cemetery' is located which seems to be Barone Road & 'Barone' area appears to be to the left (of the yellow balloon) on the above map.

Thank you for your reply Annie.

I see you have interests in Waker/McDonald in South Uist.

The family I am researching involved an Alexandrina Walker who married a Peter McDonald in Boisdale.

That's interesting!

If you want to post more info. with dates on your Walkers/MacDonalds I can certainly have a look?

As it happens, I've been researching one of mine (a Uist MacDonald) in Rothesay last 2 days which I have to follow up!

"Alexandrina Walker married Peter McDonald Boisdale in 1872"

Which church did they marry in & who were their parents?

Sorry, it was the parents of Alexandrina Walker & Peter McDonald I was asking to see if I could find a link with any of mine?

I have those surnames as direct lines but I also have side shoots with those surnames.

Add, Are you looking to trace those families/other descendants?
