Bell Family in Troon Ayrshire Details Needed Please

Post by scottscott78 » Sat Jan 19, 2008 11:26 am

Hi,

I am trying to find out some details of the Bell family that lived and died in Troon Aryshire. I know that there is about 6/8 people in Lair 179 in Troon but that is all I really know. There is Andrew Bell, and Susan Bell. There may be some more but I dont have the details.

Is there anyone that can help me please?

Thanks

I've spent a bitterly cold hour looking for your folk without success. I think you need to find out where the lair is situated as the cemetery is a fair size. Otherwise it will be a job for better weather !!

The only one I found was for an Andrew Rennie Bell but no details except that he died 19/10/1966 aged 72
Anderson, McAlpine, Blue - Argyll
Dunn Fife /ML
Coutts, McGregor - Perth/Govan
Glen, Crow, Imrie - Angus
Scott & Pick ML
Mason - Co Down

Hi Scottscott
The cemetery looks pretty large!

Perhaps Troon Registration Office might be able to give you more details about who is in the lair.
See:
http://www.south-ayrshire.gov.uk/community/cemeteries/
and
http://www.south-ayrshire.gov.uk/commun ... fices.aspx

Certainly worth contacting them as they may not only be able to tell you the exact location, but very often also who is bured there - sometimes there is no grave stone, but the lair record holds all the details, or sometimes, even if there is a stone, not everyone buried in the lair is mentioned on the stone. Good luck with your research.

Best wishes
Lesley
