Hi Drew
Not sure if if is any use but I found this cemetery:
http://www.west-dunbarton.gov.uk/commun ... -cemetery/

The cemetery was opened in 1854 with the first interment being carried out on the fifth of July in that year. The cemetery serves the town of Dumbarton and is one mile from the main town centre.

Also on the same site: http://www.west-dunbarton.gov.uk/commun ... emeteries/

It might be worth contacting the Family History section of Dumbarton Library at

http://www.wdcweb.info/arts-culture-and ... dumbarton/

They will search the records of internments for free, if you can wait.

In any case if you are not local and you find out anything let me know and I can take a look or a photograph, if there is a marker.

regards

Drew
