I understand that my Great Grandfather Alexander Tolson was buried at Tudhoe Cemetry, Section E, Grave number 254, burial number 8823 in 1948. Is there anyone out there that visits that cemetry or lives nearby that cemetry who could photograph and send me a picture of the grave.

Reggie's idea is right - even if they aren't willing to photo it, they would be able to tell you if there is a headstone.

Unless you know differently, there is always the possibility that the plot has been reused.

Unfortunately, that link from Rootschat is out of date, AnnCardiff.

The blog/website has been taken over by TheGenealogist, and is undergoing changes.

The search facility doesn't produce any results for anything.

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.
