Eastwood Cemetery - Help!!!

[Hanan]

Wonder if anyone can help me. I am looking for a map of Eastwood Cemetery. I am trying to find the graves of a mother and son. This is the only details I have;

Euphemia Smith Hamilton
DIED: 23rd May 1923 age 41  BURIAL: Eastwood Cemetery, 1400, Section D

Andrew Hamilton Sutherland
DIED: 16th March 1924, age 3  BURIAL: Eastwood Cemetery: Compartment T, Lair 144

I am aware there is Eastwood old and new cemetery. (I have no idea if they are in the old or new.) I am also aware the cemetery's are both in a terrible state, hence I would like a map (or some expert advice) so I can figure out roughly where they may be.

I would have suggested contacting Glasgow City Council with a view to arrange a meeting with one of the groundsmen when they are working there but recently the days when someone is available are very few and far between.

This older thread may help (there is a map) https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=797495.0

Added : sorry the map link no longer seems to be working

Hello Hanan
Here is link to an online map ...

Hope this helps...
You can see the today's layout in google earth... or google maps...
Usually the lair numbers are on the side of any memorials... in Dundee at least.. So you may be lucky  and find one if the family erected any..
All the best

Hi MarkW

Would you happen to have the main link to the cemetery plans page that they used to have?

Added: Ah, it was a glitch on their page yesterday that Falkryn was trying to link. Looks to be all working again www.glasgowlife.org.uk/libraries/family-history/research-guides/burial-lair-and-cremation-registers

The Commonwealth War Grave Commission has 118 burials in Eastwood, Glasgow.   Use these to locate your lairs.  The CWGC memorials are very distinctive and easy to spot at a distance, and the website give you lair details.  I have used this technique to zero in on lairs that are not well marked.

Excellent ideas and help from everyone. I'm off to study and hopefully work out where they both are. I very much hope to visit and pay my respects.

Thanks all!
