Seeking BURIAL date & location for John McCREADIE, resident at 8 Allison Street, Newton, who died offshore Ayr Harbour on 2nd August 1879.
It has been brought to my attention there were/are two cemeteries in the vicinity of Allison Street; Newton Green and
Wallacetown. A burial at either would have been conducted probably in the 1st week of August 1879.
I have located relatives here in Oz and USA =D> and we are gradually putting the extended families lives together.
Anyone able to search Newton Green & Wallacetown cemeteries

Hello Jim,
I’ll just add a link to a previous thread on this subject with a post by BritishPower about checking various Ayr cemeteries.

Nothing new but here’s the Glasgow Herald report of the accident. It seems I never previously found that in the BL 19C newspapers because half a year’s issues were missing. You have the Scotsman etc text though. http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Ma ... %2C2221235
All the best,
Alan

Hello again Alan, nice to see you are still inputting. Thanks mate. I've been hammering away
at this burial location since 2007 and only very recently was advised of those two cemeteries in close proximity to his residence.
