Parish churchyards

Post by swontgirl » Wed Jan 01, 2014 5:08 pm

I have been looking up some death records lately and keep finding people are buried in the churchyard of "such & such" parish. For example one of the one I am interested in says Arthur Anderson was buried in 1860 in the churchyard of Kinnethmont. What cemetery are they referring to?

Hello,
I also have relatives buried in Kennethmont/Kinnethmont. From the reference to the year 1860, I would suppose this is the correct churchyard:

All the best,
