Hello Col, 1. These records are for the Lanark Cemetery in Lanark, Lanarkshire, Scotland. The cemetery has four separate sections - St Kentigern's, St Nicholas', St Leonard's and St Catherine's. The "Old" refers to St Kentigern's. I do not know which one is referred to as "New". 2.The 547 is the record number, not the lair or burial site number. These months of records contained no lair information. 3. The recordkeeper used the Pupil designation for all small children as you will see in the image I will send to you. 4. I am not familiar with the town or parish of Lanark, so I cannot supply any idea of locations. You could try a map search for Lanark, Lanarkshire, Scotland. I do know that it was a Royal Burgh and was the source of the county name.
