Hawick Cemetery Lookup - Jane Graham died 1806
« on: Friday 01 January 21 06:35 GMT (UK) »
FindaGrave has Jane Graham died 6 Jul 1806, buried St Marys in Hawick.  https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/132232079/jane-graham
However I can't find this death in ScotlandsPeople, despite Hawick having OPR deaths for that time. Even looking for 1806 deaths for Jane & Jean with no surname doesn't turn up a likely death. I wonder if the FindaGrave transcription has the wrong year. Could someone with access to Hawick Monumental Inscriptions please doublecheck this transcription for me? Thank you.

Thanks. Being only 10 months old eliminates her.
I'm looking for Adam Jerdon/Jardine & Jane Graham who married in Hawick in 1798. The Marriage record states they "both of this parish". Would they be mentioned in Hawick Monumental Inscriptions?

Would they be mentioned in Hawick Monumental Inscriptions?
Only if they were one of the small proportion of people who actually had a gravestone.

I have seen estimates as low as 10% for the proportion of people who are commemorated by a stone.
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.

My grammar must have been wanting. In asking "Would they be mentioned in Hawick MI's?", I was actually asking for another lookup i.e. "are they mentioned in Hawick MI's?".
Cheers, John

I followed the link, and it says her burial was "recorded at St. Mary's & St. Cuthbert's Churchyards, Hawick," which doesn't make sense to me. Is/was there a St. Cuthbert's Church in Hawick? I think there's one in Edinburgh, isn't there?

The wording is confusing to me but might make sense to someone else. I'm mentioning this in case the information might be found elsewhere.
