Gallashiels Grave
« on: Wednesday 27 July 22 03:42 BST (UK) »
I believe that my 2nd Great Grandfather, David Nicol Philp,,was born in Dysart but in his 30s moved in the 1870s to Gallashiels with his wifeJane where he raised a family.  He is listed on his death certificate as Forman Baker. He died there on 18th April 1916. Despite manl attempts I can't find any record of where he was buried.  I have found him on Cencus returns and have his death certificare which states that he is a widower and he was  Foreman Baker.
 Can anyone help me find where he is buried please as I have hit a dead end.

David Philp
Death Date:   Feb 1919

sorry to build your hopes up - but headstone says wife Jemimah - I will leave this post up to save other members time

The births of the children (with mother Jane Bain Thomson) on FS, if these are correct, are near Dalkeith, Cockpen, Monifieth, Edinburgh rather than in Galashiels itself.

There appear to be two wedding ceremonies
1 in Dysart on 2/12/1868
2 in Edinburgh on 30/11/1868 (St Cuthberts)
Though this may not be unusual perhaps similar to separate civil and church ceremonies in many countries.....I am not a Scots researcher

What is the location of death of David Nicol Philp?

When and where did his wife die?   

What was his last location on the census?

This Jemima dies in 1942 so perhaps a daughter in law married to a son called David Philp if a relation at all.

As Garstonite says we need more info before throwing ourselves down rabbitholes and following false but interesting leads.

I think that David's wife, Jane, was actually Jane Mills. The marriage:

D N Philps and Jane Mill
1870
Ref 426/ 42
Dysart

Children's birth regs up to 1882 that I can see (Walter) show mother as Jane Mill/s.

Son David's death shows on SP as:

DAVID NICHOL PHILIPS
Age 38
Mother's maiden name MILLS
1914
775/ 169
Galashiels

Wife's death is registred as:

JEANIE PHILIPS/MILL
Age 66
Mother's maiden name BROWN
1915
775/ 129
Galashiels

gurfingpiglet, I am sure you will have these details. Just adding here in case it helps with finding burial info for them.

Pte D Philips KOSB Regiment buried 1919 Eastlands Cemetery, Galashiels is the only result within the Borders listed on findagrave for the surname.  The headstone does not indicate an age so dob is unknown.

I saw that one also but the OP has said his ancestors name was Philps. 
Hopefully they will be back soon to give us the details from the death certificate and to double check the surname.
