Hello, I am wondering if anyone can assist in pointing me in the right direction to find where my ggg grandparents are interred and how to find any obituaries. I am hoping any obituaries might acknowledge my gg father John Jeffrey who emigrated to Australia in 1862. The details of the deaths are: George Jeffrey ( Jefferey ) died May 3rd, 1875, Canonbie, Dumfries Mary Jeffrey, nee Bowman died August 20th, 1875, Canonbie, Dumfiries Thanking you for any assistance you can offer. Regards, Andrew Jeffrey Australia
