I've got a pal who is a postman. He tells me that if you walk away from a town or a city centre then the numbers go up, (i.e. #1 is nearest the town centre) and that the odd numbers are on the left and even numbers on the right.

Hi sancti,
Thank you for that. Now I can see where those other names I have fit in. I had no information at all about the McMillan connection. Just that William had purchased the Lair section in 1931. Records to show if they had children were not available when I last checked.
Lachlan is my direct family link, and I know that he and Agnes had no children.
You have been outstanding in your endeavor to help me and I really appreciate it. I have so much more information than I expected when I posted my query, and the photos have come through so well.
I look forward to the next post from Bonnie Scotland.
Cheers
Mackiwi

I took some photos of both headstones today but I'm having a problem with downloading them. The Rutherglen 1 is large and made of sandstone and some of the lettering is worn. It looks like Lachlan Campbell MacIntyre

To all who contributed to my request a big thank you. Special thanks to sancti who has gone way beyond all expectations. So much effort for a stranger on the other side of the world is mind blowing.
All will be treasured for many years to come not only by myself but future generations.

I think the Laigh Braehead mentioned on the headstone is in Thorntonhall just outside East Kilbride

Hi sancti,
You keep surprising me with more information. Can you translate Laigh Braehead, sounds to me like it may be Gaelic. Also is Thorntonhall a village ?
Regards from a very happy
