Hi You probably nearly all know of this site but I thought I would mention it anyway. In Google search enter ANESFHS MI Index (yes it is capitals etc), you can do a Kirkyard search or surname search it gives the gravestone number and people buried in that grave. For a married couple enter the maiden name of the wife. I have found lots of family graves. However Tullynessle and Lumphanan are not yet on there. Hope it helps Pat

Hi Marion Just to let you know the only cemeteries in Patricia's list that are near Govan/Gorbals area are Cardonald and the Southern Necropolis. Hope this helps Caroline

Thanks Caroline As you gathered I copied and pasted it trying to help. That's what you get for letting loose an English person to gather info on Scotland LOL. Apologies to all the Scots for my lak of geography. Pat
