Hello Moyna A selection of post-1855 monumental inscriptions for Dumbarton Cemetery was made by me many years ago, and deposited in Dumbarton Public Library. They amount to about 10% only, though. Dumbarton Cemetery is fairly large. There is no cemetery at Balloch, the nearest one being Alexandria. I'm not sure what you mean by Dennystown Cemetery. West Bridgend Churchyard is in the area, and I believe that it was one of the few cases where the Mitchells, in their book of pre-1855 monumental inscriptions for Dunbartonshire, actually copied ALL inscriptions regardless of date. If you send details, I can certainly look up the Dumbarton Cemetery selection, and the West Bridgend inscriptions, but for both Alexandria and Dumbarton Cemeteries to be checked properly, you would have to contact the Cemetery Superintendent, Alexandria Cemetery, Overtoun Street, Alexandria, G83.... [not sure, off-hand, about the rest of the postal (i.e. zip) code, but that should suffice]. He has charge of the lair registers for both Alexandria and Dumbarton Cemeteries. You would, of course, have to have a fairly accurate idea of death dates. Hope this is a help. Best wishes Arthur Arthur F.
