Re: grave

Christine, you are a gem! Thank you so much. Sydney was 68 and died on 13 Oct and his wife was Beatrice. He was a master cutler. He became RC at the age of 20. It all fits. I had never heard of Wisewood but his family lived in Lang House , Stubbing Lane. It is just up the road from the cemetery. How wonderful.
Now I can go and visit my grandfather's grave when we are in uk in Jun/Jul. He died before I was 2 years old. Beatrice came and joined us in Australia at the age of 80something.

My mother told us that her father, Sydney, had gone round the graves and churchyards and traced his people back to Rob Roy McGregor. I was trying to do this on line but have run out of time. We got back to John Gregory born 1816 and have no idea how to proceed further back. We are going to walk some of the Rob Roy Way. Will have to have another go at the genealogy when we get back home.
Thank you so much.
Margaret
