    1. Re: [SUT] Balnakiel cemetery lookup?
    2. Am I not correct in saying that many people are buried in graveyards in un-marked graves, as they were too poor to afford headstones? I have a number of ancestors who were marked as 'paupers' in their death certs. in Stoer/Assynt. Interestingly, this was particularly noted in certs. around 1900. Was there a particular local economic 'slump' at that time, or was there a growing awareness of how poor the crofters were, thereby having it highlighted on the certs.? edward Limpsfield, Surrey
