Keith Old Cemetery - Burial Plan
« on: Wednesday 30 March 22 10:35 BST (UK) »
I have an extract from the 1885 Burial Book of Keith Old Cemetery which gives my great grandfather and his immediate family of Page 54, Lair (Section U.No 1,2. George Morrison Labourer Fife Street, Fife-Keith.  It also states the stone was blown down and removed 15 Dec 1971.  I would like to visit this grave but do not know where to get a plan of the burial plots of the cemetery.  Can anyone suggest where I can see or get a copy of a such a plan.  I also have no idea where I got this info from as it was 20+ years ago and I obviously had poor record keeping in those days, much improved these days - thanks goodness.

Date of Burial/Name/Age
30 Apr 1887 Jessie Ann Morrison (10)
15 Nov 1894 William Morrison (1 day)
13 Feb 1900 Isabella Morrison (16)
11 Aug 1909 Helen Davie or Morrison (28)
26 Oct 1910 Mary Yeatts or Morrison (61) my GG grandmother
6 Nov 1915 James Morrison (24)
7 Sep 1925 George Morrison (83) My GG grandfather

I'm also interested in searching the other Keith Burial Books for the surname Morrison and Yeats and wonder where I can review these. 

I might be up in North Scotland over the summer so hope to visit.

You should be able to see a plan of the graveyard, and microfilms of the burial books, in the Local Studies Library in Elgin.

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.
