Hi Eric,
What information is contained in these burial records? Does it tell you who is in the grave and who purchased it, etc.?

I don't think I have anyone mentioned in the areas of Vol 2 but I should have others in Linlithgow and a few other areas.

Thanks for letting us know. :D

Regards,
Anne H

Hi Ann

They give the name of the deceased, age, address, location of grave (lair/section) date of interment and death, sometimes the occupation, cause of death and whether private or common. The additional information field can be useful as you may get relationships. Volume 1 has Linlithgow cemetery.
