The entries are indexed by surnames only and I can see no stone with both Aitken and McKay on it in a Greenock cemetery. However SGS transcriptions concentrate on stones with pre-1855 inscriptions so one with only an 1865 death may not be included. Not every burial included a permanent monument. Irene
