Hello,

Do you have Georgina's death certificate? It's available on ScotlandsPeople and might tell you which cemetery she is buried in. If you Google Crieff, Scotland cemetery you will get a number of results describing the cemeteries in Crieff. If the death certificate doesn't tell where Georgina is buried, then you can try contacting the cemeteries or try looking for a death notice or obituary in the local newspaper.

Carol :D
Looking for: Clerihew, Longmuir/Longmore, Chalmers, Milne, Barclay in Newhills,
Munro, Cadenhead, Raitt, Ririe/Reary

Hi utrecht and Carol,

The burial place was only on Scottish death certificates from 1855 to 1860, so that won't help in this case. You may need to find archives of a local newspaper to find a funeral notice.

All the best,

AndrewP
