Catholic Cemeteries in Thurso

Catholic Cemeteries in Thurso

Does anyone know if the cemetery on rue Portelance in Thurso is, or was, called Notre Dame cemetery? There is an obituary for Patrick Rae, published in the Buckingham Post on 28 Oct 1910 that says " Died at Thurso. The funeral of the late Patrick Rea took place on Monday morning at 10:30 from his residence on the Gore road to the R.C.church and thence to Notre Dame cemetery, Rev. Father Chatlain officiating." I could not find a headstone for him (or his son Ambrose, or his wife Catherine Rowan) in the cemetery behind the R.C. church (not realizing that there was a cemetery on rue Portelance at the time of that cemetery road trip).
Regards,
Lynn

Patrick John Joseph Ambrose Rae died on Oct. 6th 1910 in this parish, Thurso and his father on Oct. 15th 1910, in Longue-Pointe, diocèse de Montréal. It's mentionnen that he had been buried in the cimetery on this parish.

You can see both acts on page 13a and 13b at this link http://bibnum2.banq.qc.ca/bna/ecivil/affichage.html?serie=07...

As far as I know, there is no Notre-Dame cemetery in Thurso or the close area.
