SCOTLAND
My ethnicity is near 50% Scottish, so it’s apparent I’ve an curiosity in a lot of locations, a few of which we’ve already visited.
Strachur, Loch Fyne, Argyllshire
Strachur is the house of my Morrison household the place they lived on Inverglen farm. Annoyingly I can’t discover my Isabella Morrison’s baptism file (see Kilmorich), and I believe it’s due to the clerk’s notation that those that didn’t pay the charge didn’t have their baptism registered. Nonetheless, I do assume I’ve bought sufficient to make sure of her household.

Reported to be the normal burial floor for the McCorquodales, I’m wondering if my first recognized ancestors, Duncan McCorquodale/McCorkindale and his spouse Ann Campbell have been buried there. Exterior the church there’s a map of the graveyard which correlates to a named itemizing – sadly nobody is aware of the place it’s. If needs have been horses….
Sandon, Hertfordshire, England
I do know from researching the Sandon parish registers (and parish chest) that my Kent household ancestors have been buried on this churchyard. Nonetheless even on my first explorations of the cemetery I used to be unable to discover a related headstone.
Cemetery Looking Want Checklist
Aside from wishing there’s at all times be a headstone for each ancestor’s burial, my want checklist focuses on Sydney. I need to go to the Jap Suburbs Memorial Gardens (Botany) and Area of Mars cemetery as I’ve talked about beforehand. Nonetheless, I’m eager to see my nice uncle’s grave at Woronora (Duncan McCorkindale, brother to my grandmother), and discover the Rookwood Necropolis, each the Catholic and non-Catholic sections. I’ll must be on a health regime earlier than I do Rookwood!
