FHL 0993405 Burial register of Dundee, Scotland 1772-1835
transcribed by Holly Cochran

Notes: Women seem to be listed by their maiden surname. Most entries have a 4 or 2 after them - it seems to be the cost of the burial, possibly in shillings.
The 1801-1829 register says "Burials in Howff (Old) Burial Ground and Constitution Rd (New) Cemetery."
