Hi John: You may be interested in the attached photos. I live in Guadalajara and Canada and in May I visited Guadalajara's oldest cemetery - the Belen. Jean Young and Joseph Johnston of Paisley, Scotland are buried there. I hope it's your family. I can tell the list more about the stone if you're interested!

Many Carswells farmed & died in the Neilston district during this period but only a very few Carswell gravestones are found in the Neilston churchyard. Were they likely to be buried there without headstones or buried on their farms as can be the custom in rural Australia ?. With thanks , John Carswell.
