Duncan Street Burial Ground :: Shared Description

This burial ground, created on land feued in 1816, is adjacent to the earlier Inverkip Street Burial GroundLinkExternal link – but it was, at first, separate from it (see LinkExternal link for a more detailed history). An original entrance from Duncan St was closed after that street was levelled; an opening to the adjacent Inverkip Street Burial Ground was then created instead. "Renfrewshire MI pre-1855" (vol 1) has all of the inscriptions. The Duncan Street Burial Ground is discussed in the last few pages of LinkExternal link (PDF).
