Hello I don't if anyone can help, but I found some information
I wanted to confirm because I'm visiting
Scotland Sept 2007.
My gggrandfather Peter
McKenzie and
Archibald Craig were supposed to have owned a burial "
GRAFF" in the northmost part of the Darvel Burring Ground? These burials were prior to 1850. I'm trying to find out where my ancestors are buried. Here's the burials I'm talking about:
5 June 1843: Agnes
Mair daughter of the deceased William
Mair (mason) of Darvel & grand daughter of William Gemmal (carter) of darvel. She is intered in the northmost "
GRAFF" in Peter McKenzie/McKinzie's &
Archibald Craig's late in Darvel Burring Ground.
11 November 1843: Jean Morrison/Gemmal wife of William Gemmal (carter) of Darvel. She is intered in the northmost "
GRAFF" of the late Peter McKenzie/McKinzie (weaver) of Darvel & the late
Archibald Craig (weaver) of Darvel. The "
GRAFF" now belongs to Hugh
Aiton (weaver) of Darvel.
There's other burials mentioned but I'm not sure if they are buried in the same cemetery.
30 June 1845: Miny Colgreen/McKinzie wife
Duncan McKenzie/McKinzie (labrourer) of Darvel. She died in child birth bed giving birth to twins of which only one survived.
17 June 1852: Jean
McKinzie daughter of
Duncan McKinzie (labrourer) of Newmilns. She died of small-pox.
22 June 1852: Janet5
McKinzie daughter of
Duncan McKinzie (labrourer) of Newmilns. She died of small-pox & is intered in the same "
GRAFF" with her sister mentioned above.
25 September 1854: Infant child of
Duncan McKinzie (labrourer) of Newmilns. Duncan is the son-in-law of Thomas
Arnot (labrourer) of Newmilns.
22 Dec 1855; mary MCKinzie/Arnot wife of
Duncan McKinzie (labrourer) of Newmilns & daughter of Thomas
Arnot (labrourer) of Newmilns.She died in child birth bed.
24 April 1857:
Colin McKenzie son of
Duncan McKenzie (labrourer) of Newmilns.
If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
