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?
It appears that Jessie McKenzie died on 30 August 1921, aged 74 years, at 3 McAlpine Street, Glasgow.
She was the widow of Colin McKenzie, seaman.
Her parents were John McKenzie, crofter, deceased and Catherine McKenzie, nee McDonald, deceased.
Her death was registered by Mary Fraser, niece, 30 Couper Street - my Granny, who was married to James Fraser - who purchased the lair.
Was she "mammy" - looks like it, but I have to delve further into the names.
The help that both you and Monica have given me has been amazing.
Update - It seems that I have been looking at the wrong side of the family.
My Granny, before she married a Fraser, was a Mackenzie ( and in this family, all the Mackenzies going generations back, married Mackenzies - all from Lochbroom) - well, Jessie Mackenzie looks as if she was a sister to Granny Fraser's father, Duncan Mackenzie, as the parents were John Mackenzie and Catherine MacDonald. I still have to find out where the Maclean name fits in, but I'm on the case.
It's still such a shame that I can't find out where Duncan Mackenzie was buried - maybe because he died at Springfield Quay they just lobbed him off the edge
