Scots Burials in Buenos Aires

There were three principal cemeteries used for Anglican and Presbyterian burials in Buenos Aires, the Socorro, the Victoria and the Chacarita, and there was also the Sur, used briefly for victims of the 1871 fever epidemic. The earliest of these was the Socorro, the list below showing Scots burials between 1822 and 1833.
