HI: does anyone know what churchyard goes by the name ( in 1800s) of Bo'ness Upper Churchyard and Bo'ness Churchyard? I was in Bo'ness last year and found a few churchyards. One apparently had been moved due to a road going through the middle. If anyone can help me. I am looking for two siblings of my GG Grandmother. they were
John Wallace died 1857, age one year, from Croup buried Bo'ness Churchyard- parents James Wallace and Mary Buchanan; then his brother also named John Wallace age 7 weeks died 1858 , buried Bo'ness Upper churchyard. Is there someplace I can research these records? Thank you ..Donna

This will be the old graveyard that is split in two by a road known as 'The Wynd', which runs from Linlithgow Road, Bo'ness down to the town centre. It is on a slope, so one half of the graveyard is higher than the other.
I have details of a number of Buchanan's & Wallace's from Bo'ness but not enough to identify this particular family. If you have any more info about them I will check it against what I have.
Regards
Andrew

Hi Andrew: Thanks for answering.. That's it; I remember walking down there and seeing the two churchyards. I bought a book by a local author( Marlene Egan) who had transcribed some of the names from The Old Parish Church Corbiehall Bo'ness. I have no idea where that might be. There are some names in there which might be mine. Anyway, I will give you all I have about the Wallaces, Buchanans, and early Hendersons( they married the Wallaces). Hopefully you might have some information.
James Wallace married Annie Stevenson Nov 6, 1822. Son James was born circa 1828 Dumbartonshire, Old Kirkpatrick, died November 08, 1876. He married Mary Buchanan (b. 1831 d.,January 07, 1873) daughter of George Buchanan and Elizabeth Hunter. I have been unsuccessful at finding this marriage on SP , so maybe Elizabeth Hunter had a different name when married. Mary was born in Glasgow. James and Mary married in Glasgow, July 12, 1851, before moving to Bo'ness.
Two children, Mary and James were born in Glasgow in 1854. It seems they were twins because on the 1861 census they are the same age. In Bo'ness they had the following children- John ( 6/6/1856-1857), John
( 1858- 1858),Alexander Booth Wallace ( May 23, 1859), Agnes ( 1866-1938), William Wallace (1868-1870).
Daughter Mary Wallace ( b. 1854,d.1813 in Glasgow) married John Henderson ( 1850-1896), July 12, 1872, and had the following- Mary Buchanan Henderson ( 1872), John Henderson (1874) ,Anne Foote Henderson (1877) ,Janet Wallace Henderson ( 1881),Agnes Wallace Henderson (1879) ,Jemima Wallace Henderson (1883) , Alexander Henderson ( 1886), Maggie Henderson ( 1889) , Robert Henderson (1892)..
The above Agnes Wallace married ANDREAS ALBRETH Huldberg ,April 28, 1887. He was from Denmark but a BR citizen. she died 1838 in Edinburgh.
The above Mary Buchanan Henderson married John Petrie 1896 in Bo'ness. I am descended from them.
I have more on the Hendersons but this is enough for now. My problem is when I come home for a holiday it takes a lot of time to visit these places and find things out. I do use SP but I also would like to see actual places. Thank you for your rely Donna

Thank you Opsrey: I have been to Bo'ness three times now and I like it very much. My families lived on North and South Street and someplace called East End? At one time the Wallaces and Hendersons lived next door to each other. It's a good feeling to walk down those same streets. I sometimes wonder if any of the people I pass by are related to me in any way. Donna
