Hi Crookedtail,
The records from around that time were poorly kept, so there is no sign of Margaret or Duncan.
Here's the entry for Robert-
Robert Paterson, miner and pauper, married, Overtown, aged 65 years.
Parents Duncan Paterson and Christina Penman.
Interred in public ground at Cambusnethan cemetery
30th Nov 1876.
So there wont be any headstone I'm afraid.
Regards,
Lodger

Hi,
Bless your heart....you found my gggrandfathers buriel
place....that takes a large burden off of my list....and I
can put him to rest now...and his parent was a ? altho
I had them and suspected it...Thanks for that also...
When like you said in "common ground" I take it that there
is no stone or marked grave...is that right...
if so is there anyone that would know the exact grave he
is in?
Again thank you soooo much for your reply....Crookedtail

Hi Crookedtail, you will not be able to find the exact location of the grave, sorry. Common ground was allocated to paupers, 4 to a plot, once that grave was full they just moved on to the next one. No stones or markers of any kind, and by now the exact location will probably not be known. The gravediggers may or may not be knowledgeable enough about the lair plan to point you in the general direction, depends on how long they have been working there. Common ground isn't in use any more.
Click on the link to find the cemetery and keep clicking the red star until the street names come up.

Hi Grandma,
Yep I am still here 
I have had a look at my family tree and unfortunately the only William Fulton I have is a fellow born in Methven, Perthshire in 1830 who married Isabella Leslie in 1860.....so not your fellow 
Let me know if any of your Fulton's end up in Methven area further back and I can have another look.
Good luck with the search
Jenny

John Merrilees, child, Cambusnethan Colliery, aged 3 years.
Parents - David Merrilees and Agnes Prentice.
Interred 29th Oct 1874 at Carbarns.
Elizabeth C Walls, housewife, Wishaw, aged 21 years, married.
Parents - David Merrilees and Agnes Prentice.
Interred 18th Jan 1881 at Carbarns.
Marion Merrilees aged 68 years.
Interred 10th July 1929 at Carbarns.
No parents given for Marion, sorry. The fact that they are all buried at Carbarns is a strong indication that they are all from the one family. It is such an out of the way place, not even a proper road and although it was the original parish churchyard it wasn't classed as such after the church there was abandoned in the mid 17th century. The new church, built around 1645 - 50, was situated at Cambusnethan village and it is that churchyard (what I now refer to as Old Churchyard) that adjoins the new cemetery.
Carbarns was used less and less as time went on and in the end it was only estate workers of Lord Belhaven who were buried there, also local farmers from the area along the river Clyde. Erskinebank would fall into the latter category but I have no idea where Trotterbank was, although the whole area from Carbarns to Garrion Bridge was dotted with orchards, many of them still there.
