Hi Lodger,
I have gone over the information that you have so kindly
gave me but could I ask another question without sounding
greidy?
Missing is: Agnes Merrilees mn Rodgers...
Wife of Robert Merrilees who died
Sept 4,1861 and is buried at Carbarns
They were both alive in the 1861 Census and so
he died shortly after he was 82 and she was 75 in census...
Could you see if you have her?
The others on the list you gave me seem to be their
children and I have found on the Census to be so....
Also do you have anything on:
Alexander Smyth (Smith) and I have found his wife is
Helen Hamilton...looks like he died just before 1871 Census
Living at: Crineldykes Farm Cambusnethan
.they are the parents of the Agnes Smith
from Thottle Bank that you gave me.....
I really appreciate your help....Crookedtail

Hi Lodger
I have several from Cambusnethan and was wondering how you get hold of the disks. Would probably be worth me getting them. Also do you know if there are any available for any other parts of Lanarkshire ?
Thanks
Ann

Hi Crookedtail, I gave you Agnes Rodgers details on Monday, check again - she died 1865.
Couldn't find the other deaths for Smith and Hamilton, sorry. The cemetery keeper's Day-book only begins in 1876, before that the records are not so good, so you have been really lucky with the Merrilees family.
Lodger.

Hi Anne,
The details I have belong to me and cannot be purchased anywhere, sorry. I have monumental inscriptions for several parish churchyards in Lanarkshire, if you require a look-up I will be happy to do so. I can't for example, give you all the Smiths, Browns or Hamiltons in any particular place, I would require a husband's name and surname and a cross check with his wife's name and maiden surname.
The MIs I have are - Cambusnethan, Dalziel, Hamilton, Glassford, Dalserf, Strathaven, Stonehouse, the churchyards of Airdrie Burgh and some for Shotts.

Hi Lodger
Thanks v much. I have some of the same MI books but my lot are more likely to be common ground than have stones. However if I may one of these days when I get organised, I can certainly give you some names.
My main family name is Mair from Lanarkshire. They aren't in the MI book for Cambusnethan or Dalserf tho they certainly lived in both. Being miners they moved abut a bit so can also be found in Stonehouse, Shotts and Lesmahagow. Ultimately they ended up in Blantyre and Cambuslang.
Will be in touch soon and many thanks for your very kind offer. It's a long list because they had large families, who had large families, who had large families etc
Ann

Lodger,
Could you possibly have a wee look in your book of Cambusnethan for a -
Isabella Hunter (nee Neil)
Died on April 25th 1952 at 03.30 hrs at 16, Harthill Terrace, Allanton
also her husband
Walter Hunter
Died 8th February 1950 at 15 Easter Row, Shotts
I have been unable to find their grave at Toddshill or Shottskirk, that is not to say I haven't missed them though.
I did visit Shottskirk on a very blustery winter's Sunday and got spooked after an hour.
Cheers,
Swally

Hi Swally, I can only go to 1917, sorry. Try NLC cemeteries office at Bellshill, a little bird there tells me they have a full quota of staff for the 1st time in ages, they may do a quick look-up for you.
Good luck,
Lodger

Hi Everyone,
I have just found out my ancestor Helen Long/Lang was buried in Cambusnethan New Church yard 1855. I was wondering if there is any headstone or if any other Langs are buried there.
Many thanks,
Bow

Hi Bow, there are no burial records for Cambusnethan for 1855. She is not mentioned in the MIs but there is a Helen Lang in the MIs, married to John McCrone, she died 1893 aged 49 years. If you give me Helen's parents names I can check internment records for later years.
Regards,
Lodger

No luck I'm afraid, but it was worth a try.
