    1. [DUMFRIES-GALLOWAY] paupers' burials
    2. mary amelia paladin
    3. I have a question or two regarding the burials of those who had very little money and, how/where they were buried-generally... Must they have been affiliated w/a church or be attendees to be buried in the parish cemetaries? Where there cemetaries for the poor; were they marked with names? Many of my ancestors were agriculture laborers working on farms for others; they were, in most part, poor people. Before I begin trying to locate their resting places I was wondering if there would even be marked graves, pauper cemetaries etc... Thanks for your time! Mary A Paladin Pennsylvania, USA
