Mount Royal Cemetery Montreal photos

[goldie61]

I have a couple of records on findagrave which have no photographs of the graves.
Is there any kind Rootschatter who might be able to visit and take photos of them? I would be very grateful. They are my great grandparents, originally from Scotland.

They are:
David Galloway died 10th April 1913. The only reference I can find on findagrave is Memorial ID: 108151335.
His burial is in the ‘St Giles Presbyterian’ register.
And his wife Margaret Galloway died 13th Feb 1936. Memorial ID: 108151346.
Her burial is in the ‘First Presbyterian’ register.

I will try the ‘Request a photo’ on findagrave if all else fails, but I have tried this before on other records on there, to no avail. (not ones in Canada).

Thank you very much

Hello goldie61.

I'm afraid Mount Royal Cemetery will be covered in snow at the moment and probably not accessible.
The cemetery is also very large and it would be helpful for anyone who might be able to help to know the location of the graves. I believe you can obtain this for free from the cemetery....see link below. Click on Our Services, then Genealogy at the bottom, then Desired Service arrow drop down box. Then click on burial location.

Thanks Polarbear
I will check this out.

Perhaps we could do with a bit of that snow her in New Zealand! we're going through something of a sweltering heatwave, even for a usual NZ summer.

Clipped this a few weeks ago - not sure if I posted it on another thread you have on same subject ?

Yes, I have these Sandra, thank you very much.

I contacted the Mount Royal Cemetery and got the plot number. They are in the same grave -  Section G 1702.
They were  very helpful.
When do you think the snow will have gone polarbear?

Yes, I did find the thread revisited in January 2022 - knew it rang a bell.  Reply 13

Hi again,

The snow won't be gone much before April. Montreal gets quite a lot of snow most winters and there is usually some still around through March.

Thanks polarbear.
A while more to wait then.

Hello again...

I just thought I would let you know that Montreal is still getting snow again today.
