Thanks Don - I've tried the map without success so far but I will persevere and I's  sure I will get there.  I tried googling Crawfodsdyke, but didn't get much useful info.  I will write to the cemetery offices and keep fingers crossed.

That being said, the burial records for the Greenock cemetery only go back to 1846 and his death may not have been published in the newspaper. You can contact the Greenock Cemetery here and they should be able to point you in the right direction: Burial Grounds Officer Greenock Crematorium 1 South Street Greenock PA16 8UG Phone (01475) 715658 Fax (01475) 730345 Crawfordsdyke was a industrious little place that you can find on a number of maps here http://www.nls.uk/maps/counties/index.html select Thompson's 1821 map of Renfrew, zoom in on Greenock. Wait a while, I tried accessing the site but it may be down. Yes there were tenements. Did you do a Google search for Crawfordsdyke? You may have a case where Alex/Margaret went back to Luss in their later years to be near family. Perhaps a family lair existed or he died in Greenock and was buried in Luss. In Luss they would have been buried in the cemetery next to the church. Today Luss falls under Argyll & Bute Council and you can contact the cemeteries here: Operational Services, Manse Brae, Lochgilphead.

It seems that it depends on the day you call whether there was fee charged or not ;) Cheers!!! Don Muirhead Port Dover, ON CA
