I can confirm that James Frater is buried in Calton, date of burial, 25th March
1855, Aged 74, 17 Portugal Street.

There is a lair number, 168, however, there are no complete lair registers in
existence. I am unable to confirm if any other family members are interred in
that lair.

I have checked the lair owners register and it seems that Thomas Hardie who was
a mason from Calton purchased it on November 14th 1790.

The Old Parish Records for Calton include burials 1792-1854, however, these are
arranged by date, not by name.

If you can arrange to view these films, you may discover other family members.

CALTON BURIAL GROUND
I refer to your recent communication regarding the above and wish to advise that Calton Burial is still a small walled burial ground and contrary to some reports has not been converted into a park.
The limited archive material which exists for the burial ground is held in the Mitchell Library, Archive and Special Collection Dept. to whom I have forwarded your enquiry.

1848 March 4 - Mrs. Margaret MILLER or FLYTER, age 60 years, Asthma, Lair 168 old burial ground)
This is the closest I could find. Does her age seem right to you? Flyter sounds similar enough to Frater. I can see where the clerk might have gotten the name wrong.
