I wonder?

Post by BobG » Fri Feb 10, 2006 6:08 am

From the newspaper the Elgin Courant, 12 December 1897: 'One of the oldest inhabitants of the parish, in the person of Margaret Fyfe, aged ninety-three years was interred in the Kincardine Churchyard last week.'

Hope she had passed before being interred!

Hi BobG

I must have missed this post first time around. It certainly made me smile today. Newspapers are a rich source of this kind of faux pas.

Kind regards

I certainly hope so ... It seems more and more of us are not taking any chances - by requesting to be buried with our mobile phones :

So future genealogists reaching a brick wall can just ring us up perhaps ? ....
