Thank you so much. Every bit of information helps. Directions to get there from the Edinburgh Airport? Thanks, Anne -----Original Message----- From: dunbartonshire-genweb-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:dunbartonshire-genweb-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Alan Glass Sent: Friday, May 22, 2009 4:03 PM To: dunbartonshire-genweb@rootsweb.com Subject: [DUNB] McGregor Anne, You will be very lucky if you find graves of your ancestors from the 1850s, especially when the exact date and place are unclear. There are several McGregors in the cemetery. The only Hugh McGregor I know of is in Section 47 Lair 821. His address was Mill of Haldane.
