Stephen go to :
www.city.owensound.on. ca/ cemetery/index
and look for Greenwood Cemetery. There is a lot of Kirk's listed in that cemetery. Along with my Uncle Harry Kirk and his wife Dorothy Budge-Kirk. Harry was born in East Linton (just outside of Owen Sound) in 1906.
If you find any relatives on that sight, let me know if you want a picture of their headstone as I only live 10 - 15 mins. away from the cemetery. I can forward them to you.
Good Luck with your research
Lynn

Actually Stephen they are all listed there in the Greenwood
Cemetery upon my looking a bit further. Samuel is listed as passing away in 1936 not 1935. Hope this helps you.

Lynn...thank you so very much. Yes my GG Grandfater and GG Grandmother graves are listed. They are the original Irish immigrants for that branch of the family. So are some of their children that remained in Ontario.

I will ask that you please photograph and transcribe the headstones if they are any. Please give my sister and I some time to research some names that I do not yet recognize and get back to you with a short list.

You have located some very imporatnt graves for us and we are very grateful.

Have a wonderful day and may God bless.

Stephen

glad I could help you and your sister. I am on a weeks holidays this week, Renovating my kitchen. I will likely end up in Owen Sound this week so I will take the cemetery map with me and go get pictures. I'll just take a picture of each of the Kirk's since there's not that many listed. You let me know which ones you want sent later. I see that a couple of them are right up beside my Aunt Dorothy Budge-Kirk and her husband Harry Kirk. Wonder if we're related?

Lynn...Not sure if we are related in canda but probaly are related in Ireland and before that Scotland. Our Kirk's settled in Sarawak Township.

In case their a multiple headstones or markers for each plot.

Grave G-Sec-11-9 is the grave of my GG Grandparents Edward and Anne Kirk. Also in their grave is their daughter Mary Jane Lake (My GG Aunt) and her husband Albert Lake as well as Thomas Kirk and Annie Kirk.

Grave G-Sec.10-52 is my GG Grandfather's brother Henry Kirk and his wife Mary. As well as Jessie Kirk and a stillborn Sam Kirk as far as we have determined.

Grave G-N16-30 is trhe grave of Mary Kirk her husband James Kirk and a Norman Kirk.

Also there are married Kirk daughters in Greenwood. If you could photograph them as well. They are of course under different names and if you don't mind I will send you their names and grave#'s late today or early tomorrow.

Grave N12-18-5 contains 5 ancestors. Delena Kirk, unknown infant, Irene Kirk, Samuel Kirk ( my GG Uncle) and Wesley Kirk.
