could my Granny please send her the titles deeds for the lair in Riddrie Cemetery, so she can be buried beside "mammy and the two children".

Is Jessie "mammy"?
Death registration?

Got the lair books with the burials in! The other ones must be registers of owners.
They are arranged by surname of owners and the F's seem to be in "loose pages"
