Hi,
have contacted the library and they provide a free half an hour search.
They estimate my query will fall within this limit.So am in the cue waiting for the information
Just like to thank my helpers again.

Hi,
don't know if any of our Scottish members will be able to answer this
I am looking for the likely cemetery to be used for

2 Powis terrace Aberdeen, Northern District in 1942

I have previously written to Aberdeen City council but had no reply.

So i have two great grandparents die at the same address
the first in 1939 when Hayfield crescent was in the Eastern district and the second in 1942 in the Northern district

I can't find the most likely one on a map!

Any tips on searching would be very gratefully received!
