Thanks Lesley,
Yes,,,no clues. Although they lived at St. Cuthberts I haven't been able to find any data base or publications available to look up possible cemeteries they may be buried. Jim

James Aitchison Aitken

Someone was good enough to give me information from The Scotsman from Feb 5, 1914; James Aitchison Aitken's obituary. It mentions he was to be buried at Newington Cemetery, Edinburgh. By chance does anyone live near there? Thanks, Jim

Hi Jim,

It may be worth contacting the SGS as they have published the Monumental Inscriptions from Newington Cemetery.
