Hi,

My grandfather, James Clark lived and worked in Clydebank, Dumbarton, Scotland. He died June 5, 1921. Register of death states Parish of Old Kilpatrick, County of Dumbarton. I cannot find where he as buried

My grandmother, his wife, Annie Clark (maiden name Love) remarried after he died. Her married name was Annie Leyden. She died March 13, 1940.  Register of Death states District of Old Kilpatrick, County of Dumbarton.

I cannot find where either have been buried and have exhausted all resources that I know of.  Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Terri

Is Dalnotter in Clydebank one of the places you have exausted? . If Not the the possibility is he is buried or  cremated there. I am also  searching Clark/e in Clydebank and Partick.

I did email the West Dumbartonshire Council, Burial and Cremation as suggested by Colin but have not received a response.  I have tried them all.

Thank you Poppy

Hi Terri, it would help if you knew where they lived.  He may have worked in Clydebank,but not lived there.  The crematorium that Col mentioned was built in late 60s/70s. The only other crematorium was in Cardross.  The North cemetery was established in the 70s. I would take a guess and say they were buried in the Old Dalnottar.  There is also an old cemetery in the village of Old Kilpatrick. Try cemetery offices at Great Western Road G60 5HO. And you can try  scotlandspeople website for births, marriages, Deaths xx

.....Should have mentioned there is a cemetery in Dumbarton, which would have come under Old Kilpatrick.  There is also Kilbowie cemetery in Clydebank, that's why it would be helpful to know where they lived.xx

Scottish death certificates never tell you place of burial except from 1855 to about 1860.
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.
