Thanks, would appreciate any help here as Glasgow is a bit far to travel without some "on the ground" research before hand.
On burial record under entry "No. and Wall" is written N.C. 2/131.
This must be the location. Might be of help. I suspect somewhere in the records must be a plan of the churchyard with these numbered locations recorded to show who is buried where.
Eddie.

I know he want a merchant, but lair No 5 is the unmarked resting place of Pierre Emile L'angelier of Madeleine Smith fame. Well he did work as a seed merchant, so perhaps he would qualify? Check it out on my flickr

Stu, Most impressed

Thanks for your time and effort here! This is really something I never expected to find. Lots of family history is like

Amazing what you can do on the web! We will plan a visit to Glasgow in the next year and I will take a photo of stone with my wife Lynne Chisholm and daughters ( if I can get them out of the shops for long enough), who are all direct descendents of William, and post on the site. I now need to find my ancestors who were also from Glasgow but at the other end of the social scene, Irish Catholics, living in Mathieson Street, Hutchesontown in 1901.
I am contacting cemetries department to pay for a search of about 20 Evitt names to allow me to locate their graves. Hoping the that there might be info.on one of origins in Ireland.
Thanks again

, Eddie.

Eddie there is a guy who writes in the Local News for Southsiders. He knows a lot about the Southern Necropolis which is located in the Gorbals. He has a website.

CLICK HERE

May be worth contacting him if you have ancestors buried there.

Will check out his website. Also have heard St. Kentigans has plenty of Catholic burials from 19th and 20th century

I see that there are several people interested in piecing together the merchant history of Glasgow and so I thought I would send a note to see if anyone can help:
I believe that the garvestone of an elusive ancestor is in the grounds of Ramshorn Kirk in Glasgow. His name was John Phillips and he died about 1829.
He seems to have been a wealthy merchant living at Stobcross House and his wife was called Francis Martin.
Could some kind person see whether they have a photo or transcription of this particular gravestone please?
John Phillips had 8 children, one of whom was a daughter called Martha who married a John Reid/Reed who was a planter (of sugar?) in Jamaica.
Can anyone help with this brick wall? Cheers
