I Dalbeth Cemetry a number of months ago. While I was there I took some pics of headstones as a request by some other people on another fourm but there were no matches. I still have these pics and thought I would post about them in the off chance that they may be of interest to someone. There are not many but I've listed them below. Please PM me if there is something of interest.
I took some pics that I only noticed later were quite recent deaths so I do not want to list these for obvious reasons. Also if anyone has any objections to me passing these pics out then please let me know. My intention is to help people out with their research but I can see how some people may not want photos passed out.
CONNOR- James (d.1974)
DOCHERTY- Francis (d.1923), Mary (d.1937), Margaret (d.1945), James (d.1959), Annie (d.1963), Bernadette (d.1971).
DOHERTY- Patrick (d.1950)
GALLACHER- Margaret Bain (d.1957)
GALLAGHER- James (d.1956) and Jean (d.1989)
GRAHAM- Elizabeth Anne (d.1950)
KEELEY- Francis (d.1952)
McKEE- Lawrence (d.1959), Catherine (d.1987)

How on earth did you find John's death entry in 1855
?especially as Isabella said he died in Liverpool?

Hi Karen,
Sorry but those are the only photographs I has as I was asked to look out for those surnames in particular before I went.
I would say though when I went I never saw any headstones from the 1800s or wasn't able to read any at any rate. I was there for a couple of hours and still never got around all the headstones. Luckily my dad had a rough idea of where the headstones were that we were seeking. Even then there was one I did not manage to find.

Dalbeth has two entrances. The one most people use have the interments from 1900 onwards. The 19th century part opened in c.1850 is accessed the gate to the left of the main entrance. For a long time this had the number '1920' painted on it. If you continue for a while down the lane you come to the original sector called Sacred Heart.
When I was there last visiting the grave (I take my internet name sake from this relative) in sector 18 they have opened up a bridge across the burn to provide another way into the old sector.
It is a very large cemetery. It opened in 1850. There are around 30 sectors. Each sector has at least 1700 graves with on average 3 people in them! Sector 18 is probably anything up to what seems like a mile in!
The state of repair has tended to fluctuate. In the 1970s sector 18 was so overgrown that you needed to use a cythe to cut the grass down. All this in a section with people buried there from the 1920s to 1960s! The whole repair of the cemetery has improved since day to day maintenance was handed over to the Glasgow City Council.
