Question

Hi everyone,
My Gifford ancestors were from Banffshire,Scotland.Most of them got married at
St Peter's Church,Buckie....which is a Catholic Church.
What i would like to find out is where might they be buried ???
Also the ones that weren't married in the Catholic Church,which are
the local graveyards that are most likely to be used ?
The most recent deaths that i've found for my Gifford family are:

GEORGINA GIFFORD [age 19] died - St Peter's Terrace,Buckie ,1923.
ELIZA GIFFORD [age 37] died - "the Muir" Fordyce , 1926.[July]
ELIZA McKENZIE GIFFORD [69] - died "the Muir" Fordyce , 1926.[Dec]
JOHN EDMUND GIFFORD [3 Mths]- died Muiryfold Cottages,Grange, 1927.
JOHN GIFFORD [77] died - "Muir of Glassaugh,Fordyce,1930.
ALEXANDER GIFFORD [73] died - Arrandoul Cottages,Rathven, 1933.
JAMES ROBERT GIFFORD [71] died - 5 Earl St,Portgordon, 1939.
GEORGINA GIFFORD [78] died - Arrandoul,Rathven, 1943.
JOHN GRANT GIFFORD [67] died - "The Muir",Fordyce, 1952.

Anyone got any idea which graveyards these relatives might be buried
in ???
I'm coming up to Scotland next May for the 1st time and would love to
be able to be
organized and have some places to visit ... that i can go straight to
without running around like a headless chicken.
Fingers crossed,
Carole Dillon [M/S Gifford]

Some info about the church itself:

I've seen mentions of the 'New Cemetery' and Hillhead Cemetery by Buckie. Perhaps you may find them there, but if you contact the local council they may be able to supply more details.
