Dalbeth Cemetry - Section 9 is it still there?

[GlennyMon]

Hi There,

First time poster and looking for some help. I have found a burial record for ancestors that were buried in a lair in Dalbeth. The section is number 9, plot 301. I was in Dalbeth yesterday taking flowers as I have other family there and I hunted for section 9 to no avail. I've looked at the maps online which don't have a 9. I even went up into the St Peters side and there was no section 9 there. I could only find upto 8. Does anyone know where this area is? Is it still there? The last interment went in 1882 but I was hoping to locate it as its the last time in 150 years my ancestors could afford a lair, the majoriry of the rest are in common ground at Dalbeth

Thanks
Mon

Not sure if this will be helpful to you in locating Section 9.
