Hi mad (or would you prefer trad)
Probably the best idea would be to post
as much detail on each individual that you already know and ask for info that you'd like to know. If you keep each individual as a separate thread, that way, anyone finding info on them can add it accordingly. Threads can become mixed up very quickly and end up about something or someone completely unrelated to who or what they start out about!
I've photographed and transcribed all the existing legible grave stones in the Churchyard (the oldest part of Kilsyth Cemetery) and all the stones mentioning men/women killed in WW1/WW2 in the Cemetery. I would need to look through all the inscriptions to see if I could find anything relating to a death in one of the local collieries but if that wasn't mentioned, I wouldn't really know who I was looking for. Some stones have lots of info while others only have the bare minimum.
One example I found of men killed in collieries is the following: (in the cemetery)
James Farrow and Catherine Stark
Erected by his parents and fellow workers in memory of JAMES FARROW aged 25 years
Who died on March 24th 1903 from injuries received at Aberfoyle Slate Quarries
The above CATHERINE STARK died 22nd October 1904 aged 52 years
Their son Pte. WILLIAM FARROW killed in action in France 5th October 1914 aged 30 years
The above JAMES FARROW died 28th June 1918 aged 72 years
Their daughter MARY FARROW died 14th March 1919 aged 29 years
Also JOHN MACKIE FARROW killed at Greyshill Colliery 15th July 1943 aged 57 years
Also ALEXANDER STARK FARROW died 10th July 1965 aged 82 years.[/i]
Obviously the above stone was of interest to me because of Pte. William Farrow, but I try and transcribe the whole MI as well.
In the meantime, I'll have a look through the records I've got and see if I can find anything else.
