Helen Campbell died 1916 to 1919
« on: Saturday 15 July 23 02:43 BST (UK) »
Trying to find place and date of death of Helen Campbell.
Her name is inscribed on the grave of her grand parents Robert and Helen Baxter at Meigle Churchyard, Perthshire no dates shown on grave for Helen.
The attached Scotland,Burials from Ancestry suggest 1916-1919.
Can anyone narrow this date further?

Another Grand Daughter of the Baxters -- a Helen Robertson.
Can anyone help with her?  She would have been a daughter of William and Catherine Robertson
nee Campbell, Helen's oldest Sister.
Kind regards

Looking at the "Notes:"

there are death dates for all, except Helen ROBERTSON, Helen CAMPBELL, James BAXTER.

How does this give a death range 1916-1919 for Helen ROBERTSON, the name that you used for your search?

If you search for "Helen CAMPBELL "   and   "James BAXTER"  what death dates does that return?

Hi Wivenhoe,

Thanks for your interest.

Have searched Scotlands People, Ancestry UK and Familysearch for Perthshire and the wider Scotland without success.

All the people named might not have died in Scotland ie. their names on a monument serves to memorialise them.

An image of the headstone would be useful. The presentation of the inscriptions is as useful as the substance of the inscriptions.

Why are three people named, with no death dates?

Hi Neale1961,
Have searched Scotlands People, Ancestry UK and Familysearch for Perthshire and the wider Scotland without success.

Better transcription here:
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/211457316/robert-baxter

Use maiden names, and mother’s maiden name in your search on ScotlandsPeople (they are not included in your post here, so I am unable to help)
Be sure to use wild cards for spelling variations.
There is nothing that says where they died – this might have been anywhere in Scotland, England or abroad.

Helen was born as Helen (Hellen) Campbell to Duncan Campbell and Elizabeth Baxter.  Elizabeth Baxter was a daughter of Robert and Helen Baxter.

Knowing when they were born, and who they married will help in your search too.

Also look for the last census record in which they were recorded.
