Stirling Burial Records
« on: Friday 14 July 23 22:23 BST (UK) »
Stirling is using a new burials site that I can open but there seems to be no 'Search' option.
Where am I going wrong.

What's the URL of the site?
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.

If you are using the open data site at
https://data.stirling.gov.uk/datasets/22d49b16559e48179b55bb3e0f10745f/explore

You can either sort the data by various filters (funnel shaped icon) or use the download function to something like Excel and use the search facilities within that program

An ancestor of mine who died at St Mary's Wynd, Stirling in 1860 is, according to her death certificate, buried in "High Church burying place No7". Can anyone tell me where this was and if it still exists? She would probably have had a pauper's burial, so I wouldn't expect to see a stone. Have any records survived for this burial ground?

Why do people insist on fixing things that aren't broke.

According to maps the Holy Rude Churh is very close to St. Mary's Wynd and there are several HolyRude burials listed in the above database (no mention of High Church in the records unfortunately)

Might be an idea to ask the Stirling Archives Dept

Hello,

I'm trying to locate the death of Christina Baillie nee Gardiner who was born in 1876. Her husband, Thomas died in Falkirk in 1948, and the newspaper record mentions Christina as his late wife. So before using the very few credits I have left on SP I was hoping I could find his grave and that she would be there with him however I'm not sure where to search for burial records? I tried the link above but no joy :(

Any help would be muchly appreciated :)
