Help on how to access the Canonbie Burial Records Please

[Jeffrey]

Again asking for help!
Some time ago I downloaded a Burial record from the "Canonbie Kirk Cemetery Burial Registers" for a burial of a John Armstrong in 1846. I have the whole page and although I put "Canonbie Kirk Cemetery Burial Registers" as the source I can not remember which web site I got it from. I think I could browse through the pages but simply can not remember where on the internet I found it

Any ideas please.

Was it Scotlands People?  www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

Unlikely, as SP doesn't have burial registers for Canonbie for the 1840s.

When looking for burial records, always start with the relevant local authority.
In this case http://dumgal.gov.uk/article/24609/Heritage-Service

Thank you for your help.
Have not found exactly the website I wanted but have found  other information on other websites.

I've looked again at Scotlandspeople and it wasn't there, Nor on the Dumfries & Galloway one.

grateful for your efforts.

Nor on the Dumfries & Galloway one.

You need to do more than just look at the Dumfries and Galloway web site as most of the information they have is not going to be available online.

Contact them and ask them if they have the records you are looking for, and if not, ask where they are held (assuming they have survived, of course).

And don't trust anything you find online unless it's an image of an original document.

You can buy the book from Dumfries and Galloway family history society

Hi Judy, 1825-1855 burials for Canonbie are on Ancestry but aren't labelled correctly: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageviewer/collections/9041/images/44771_218997-0004

These haven't been on ScotlandsPeople or anywhere else to my knowledge. An absolute gem for those of us with roots in Canonbie.

Thank you all for your help and I have various places to look for various things and dates now which are very useful.
BUT the one that I was looking for was the one posted by Lanercost and is on Ancestry - how could I not find them again on there Thank you.

Thank you all

Just an update.

Although Book02 was of the Burials in Canonbie from 1825-1855  the page my ancestor was on in 1846 was missing - (Canonbie Kirk Cemetery Burial Registers 1846 John Armstrong New Woodhead October 13th 56 Years). Yet I have it downloaded already so that is a mystery. I am wondering if there is another site containing these Burial Registers

Apparently it says there were 67 burials in the year 1846 but only 19 are listed so think the complete book is not on the Ancestry site. Unfortunately the pages aren't numbered.

The moral of my tale is, in future, to make sure not only the source is recorded but the location of the source too!
