Re: Cemetery
There are no hard and fast rules about where you were buried, it depended on a lot of factors.
Where you originally came from [if you'd moved into the city some people preferred to be buried back 'home']
where your family were buried [if there was space in a family lair that would be used]
what religion you were: Catholic or Jewish cemeteries are separate.
Geographically Sandymount is the closest or else the Eastern Necropolis/Janefield.
maybe look on Momenti mori to see if you can see them.

Re: Cemetery
Try the death notices in the Glasgow Herald. The cemetery is often mentioned.
