Clackmannanshire burial records 1866-2013 online

Thanks to Buzzy Garden for notice of the following:

Clackmannanshire Council has released Burial Records for the main cemeteries in The Wee County at www.clacksweb.org.uk/community/cemeteryrecords/

Although the collection is called Clackmannanshire Cemetery Records, it seems to focus on Burial Records 1866–2013 for 9 grounds.

Search on surname and initial usually (the most recent only seem to give full first names) – but if you can confirm any burial date and reference for this, then stick it in Advanced Search to find out who else is buried there.

The advanced search offers options e.g. opportunities to search by cemetery (about 9) plus by section & then by grave number/lair (I found this useful once I had found a main character on simple search, then put in lair number to find the rest also there).
