Hi
Looking for ancestors I recently visited the Globe Cemetery in Motherwell, although I didn't find what I was looking for I took pictures of some of the remaining headstones and transcriptions. I'll make a list and if anyone is interested would post it on the site or send it to them personally.

Hi, I have tried to find the Globe Cemetery a couple of times, but could not find it. I can see it on the old maps but could not find access. I know children of my ancestors are buried there, and as they lived at Old Logans and Roman Rd, its possible some of the parents are there. Their name was Muircroft/Moorcroft. According to the council webpages the cemetery is closed?. Can you help, Thanks.
-
Howdy, my relative Catherine Hughes is buried in the Globe Cemeteryu, aged 16 months, died 08 Feb 1908. Do you have any details on Catherine?
Regards
Matthew
-
Sorry, unfortunately no. I took photographs of some of the headstones that were not face down and it doesn't look like there were any Hughes amongst them.

Hi All,
I also have relations buried in The globe cemetery, There are also a load of unarked public graves in this cemetery (paupers graves). Anyone looking to find anyone who may be buried there can access the burial records in the family resource centre within the Motherwell Heritage Centre where they are stored on disc.

Hi,
I will be visiting the Globe Cemetery over the weekend. If you would like me to look for and Photograph any headstones that may be there then let me know before Sat 29/03/08 and I will see what I can find.
-
Thanks Gerry, I did manage to find my way into the Globe Cem, but did not find any of my family, [Muircrofts] although from death records I know some of them are in there. Most of the stones had been vandalised or pushed over, face down. Did manage to get some photo's. Will have to try and get through to the Heritage Centre to look through their records sometime.
My mothers name is Farrell, she came from the Law. Her father came from Penrith and Grandfather from Baltinglass in Co. Wicklow.
-
Glad you made it to the cemetery Duckman. Yeah its a shame the cemetery has been so badly damaged one of the disadvantages of it being located in one of the less desirable parts of motherwell and no longer accessable by car.
I know that my relation Annie Farrell McKenna is buried there and her gravestone is in tact.
I'm in the herytage centre quite a lot so if you want to give ne the details of the people your looking for I will happily check them for you.
My Farrell roots are based in Motherwell & Wishaw since 1890 before that Glasgow from 1830 then back to Co Down in Ireland.
Does your mothers Farrell line stam back to this area?
-
My grandfather came to Law from Dumfries after WW1. His father Michael Farrell moved from Ireland to Arlecdon Cumbria between 1859 and 1864 with his parents William Farrell & Roseann Burns. My uncle told me that they came from Co. Down but other rels researching say they came from Baltinglass.
-
The name Roseann rings in my head for some reason although it could just be a name that i have seen in one of my searches. What was your fathers name?
-
My father was George Montgomery
My mothers father was Isaac Farrell who lived in the Law.
-
Hi All,
Visited the Globe Cemetery this afternoon and was pleased to see that its been tidied up quite a bit. Sadly its suffered a lot of vandalism over the years and a lot of stones are broken or lying face down.
It is accessible by car......... If you turn down Kirklee Rd in Mossend / New Stevenson it takes you down via an ash road.
I took some pics of the graveyard to let you see how its looking.
Its still in a secluded part of Motherwell so if anyone who doesnt know the area intends to visit please ensure its during the daytime.
Should anyone wish a high resolution copy of any of these pics send me your email address.

I had been looking forward to visiting the Globe for so long – I’m a Motherwell native based in East Lothian since ’73.
It (to me) really is an enchanting place, despite the despicable vandalism, and I managed to find my Great-Grandmother’s resting place (vandalised!).
Now, the nice lady at N Lanarks Council had warned me not to go there alone due to the presence of sundry junkies, jakeys, and other unsavoury mutants from the surrounding area – but a ½ mile from where I used to live and attend school!
Sure enough, on my walk down the path from the Mill Road side I was accosted by a pair of failed neurosurgeons who were swilling strong (cheap) lager and loudly abusing anyone who passed by the bench they were occupying. Even while I was searching for my family lair, they were screaming vile abuse at me through the trees from up the hill.
:o
By the time I had concluded my research in the cemetery I had by now resolved to remove these two vile specimens from the gene pool, or (at the very least) give them a sound kicking (I am a pacifist – but straw / back / camel’s, and all that…) and throw them into the River Calder. They had vacated the bench by the time I got to that point in the path. Probably their lucky day – and mine…
What I am saying to you, Dear Friends, is this: do not (unless, like me, you are well capable of looking after yourself) venture there alone and CERTAINLY not during the hours of darkness. In fact, even a big strong chap like me would probably have little chance against a knife or other weapon… I cannot help but reflect that most of the good people interred in the Globe had probably seen more hardship and toil than these vermin who seek to terrorise such a beautiful place.
-
I'm glad to hear that you found the grave you were looking for, all be it vandalised.
I was indeed very lucky as the one I was looking for is still in tact although the stone is lying down face up.
The sad fact is that this graveyard is indeed in one of the less admirible parts of Motherwell and being stuck out of sight of main road etc is the subject of vandals and hooligans etc.
I was chatting to the restorative justice people who are responsible for the cleaning up of this graveyard and the reopening the road from Mossend down and they tell me that they often had to abandon the site due to junkies or idiots using them as target practice from the trees up on the hills.
So please anyone who does go there beware.
-
I'm glad I seen this thread. I was planning a trip to Globe over the weekend after been given some Lair numbers for relatives/ancestors buried there.
Might wait until the other half or a couple of people can come with me then.
Thanks
-
Well I shall be returning over the summer -- why not wait for me if you cannnot get Other Half, etc.? I teach swimming in Edinburgh in the mornings during the summer break, so would be looking to get there just after lunch time.... Although mornings would probably be better before the giro monkeys awake from their substance-induced slumber to wreak havoc upon the unsuspecting genealogist...
Ian Goldie is the chargehand for all the cemeteries in that locale and is a brilliant chap -- if he does not have (say) a funeral at Airbles, he would be happy to join us by arrangement... or, if you want to go earlier, I can give you Ian's contact number?
All the Best!
-
It would be great to have someone there who knows the layout of the cemetery because I've got lair numbers, but I've never been.
Let me know when you are going and I'll try and go on the same day.

will do -- possibly some time in July?

Hello Gerry.
Have just had a look at a post of yours, and am delighted to read that the Globe cemetery can be accessed from Mossend.
I have tried to locate it in the past from the Motherwell end , but if the weather was poorly, it does not make for easy access.
If I were to walk down Kirklee Road, how long a walk is it?
Many thanks.
Gail
-
Can any one tell me when they stopped burials in this cemetery most of mums side of family from Daziel would they be buried there?
-
I believe they stopped new lairs in the 1930's. A full list of all the interments in the Globe both private and common graves is available to view on a CD at the Motherwell Heritage Centre.
You don't mention what date period your mums side of the family lived in Dalziel or from what part. The Parish of Dalziel was vast and covered a lot of cemeteries.
If you do think they maybe in the Globe and are unable to visit the heritage centre send me a PM with the details and I will pop along and look for them for you.
Gerry

-
Sue,
Is the 3xG David Fraser you mention this one........................

Death record lists his parents as Joeseph Frazer (Coalminer) & Margaret Frazer (Sneddon)
His death is register by Joseph Frazer his son.

Hi
I have had a great help from Motherwell Heritage Centre in Motherwell. The assistant found the lair number of my great grandparents buriel area. Unfortunately on a visit I could not find the grave.
I have also just been given by a second cousin the certificate for the lair bought in 1892 by my Great Great Grandfather. My next quest is to go back to the heritage centre and find out if my GGGrandfather and GGGrandmother are also buried in the lair.
So far I have William Alexander, sarah Clarke (Alexander) and their son Stanley Alexander.
If anyone comes across Lair 110b, can you let me know?
Good luck to all
M
-
Hi M,
Glad to hear you had success in finding the lair details you were looking for at the Globe, The database they have there is a massive help. As you'll have seen the graveyard is in a sorry state after years of neglect and vandalism. Looking at your photograph I would reckon the lair sits to the righthand side of the top ash path. If you have a look at PIC5 on here you'll see a stone which looks like a marble pillar this looks very similar to the one behind your grave in your photograph and is also facing the correct way to be looking at the factories in the distance. The best way to actually find your grave is to contact Ian at Airbles Cemetery as he knows tha layout and is very helpful and would probably meet you there to assist you.
Gerry
-
Gerry
Thanks. I have walked around the area so many times, I think that the head stone must be missing.
Another visit and contact with Ian I agree is the best way to go.
Although all points to lair 110b, when I visited the Motherwell Heritage Centre the man looked at a map of the cemetary and could not find Alexander on the map of lair names and numbers, but my ancestors are definately buried there, according to the certificate, their (Motherwell Heritage Centre) CD and my Great Aunt.
Thankl you again
M
-
i eventually founf the globe cemetary. If you know Motherwell go into Milton Street from Muir Street drive past the post office and head for an area lnown locally as the Stadium. You can park your car and walk right across the grass area untill you come to a path. It looks a bit doggy but if you follow the path downhill you come to a bridge where you have to turn right just follow thi road and it leads you to the Globe Cemetary. I would wear Wellies if you are thinking of visiting. the locals use as a dirt bike track. hope this helps .Mags C

Duckman, I am searching for Muircrofts from a long distance away. My family connection is Through Helen Muircroft Henderson, daughter of Charles Muircroft and Jessie Cairns. I've noticed your list includes both Muircroft and Cairns. Helen (Nell) came to America with her husband, James Henderson and 6 children while pregnant with her 7th child. She had a total of 11. My mother in law is her youngest, and knows nothing of mother nor her father's families. She is in her 80's and I would like to give her this information. Can we communicate. I am new to this site and not sure how to directly speak to you. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Thanks Gerry, I did manage to find my way into the Globe Cem, but did not find any of my family, [Muircrofts] although from death records I know some of them are in there. Most of the stones had been vandalised or pushed over, face down. Did manage to get some photo's. Will have to try and get through to the Heritage Centre to look through their records sometime.
My mothers name is Farrell, she came from the Law. Her father came from Penrith and Grandfather from Baltinglass in Co. Wicklow.

Hello,
Would anyone be able to photograph tombstones for the Jarvie family?
Most interested in my great great grandparents:
John Jarvie, b 1828 d 1882 and his wife, Mary Gray, I think they are both in
Lair 137-8Ee at GLOBE cemetery.
Mary Jarvie - age 21 - Lair 154CE Globe - b 1862 - died 21 Jan 1884
John Jarvie - (Junior) - Lair CE154 Globe - b 1867 - died May 1903
(Don't know if his wife, Jemima Baxter Jarvie, is buried there - she was alive in 1940 - I think). They also had children Jemima Jarvie (154CE Globe) and Matthew Jarvie d 1904 also CE154 Globe.
There is also sister Margaret Jarvie - b 1869 d 1898 - lair 107Ee GLOBE.
And twin sisters, Margaret and Jane - born 1866 and died 1866 - I am not sure where they are buried - Sighthill or the GLOBE.
Any help would surely be appreciated.
Thank you,

Hi all.
I'm a new member on this site and stumbled upon this post. I live local to the 'Globe' cemetery more correctly known, I believe, as 'Camp' cemetery. I have started regularly visiting the cemetery walking and would be happy to help anyone requiring info from headstones, photos etc where possible. Just ask!
Rgds,
William.

Hi William,
I always get confused over the different burial grounds in Motherwell!
I have a huge list of ancestors lairs who are buried in 'Airbles' and also some in South Dalziel Parish Church.
Is 'The Globe' yet another cemetery or a different name for one of the above?
Thanks :)
Elaine
-
Globe is another cemetery
LFHS has the headstones photographed and transcribed for South Dalziel churchyard and Old Manse Road cemetery
-
Yes indeed it is a different cemetery. Now neglected by North Lanarkshire Council who should hang their heads in shame it is situated in a secluded , peaceful, albeit eery location which unfortunately is frequented mostly now by louts.
Rgds,
William.
-
Thanks both,
I used to use the forums on LFHS a lot but then it changed and I couldn't get into it.......however I have just managed to re-register so will wait and see if I am 'approved'!! My grandparents hailed from Motherwell area, so I have plenty of ancestors dotted about :)
-
it is situated in a secluded , peaceful, albeit eery location
[/b]
It certainly is eerie - my great, great grandfather is buried there, as well as his father-in-law and a few other family members. I found the arched canopy of trees leading up the cemetery from the Forgewood end very unnerving - especially as it made me think about how many ancestors have travelled that very route. It didn't help that I heard a noise behind me and turned round to find two huge deer about 30 ft up the path!
I believe that the Globe name came from the long defunct Iron Works nearby.
It is now very dilapidated - I have a couple of general pictures that I'll post tonight if I can find them.
Best wishes
Rockford
-
could someone please enlighten me to the full name for "LFHS"? ??? I'm aware of Lothian's Family History Society, is that it?

It's a start and will hopefully shame the council into tidying up the rest!
-
Ah! The bold Frank
There's not an election coming up is there? ::)
-
There's not much wrong with Frankie Roy, his granny lived in the Daisy Park, so he will know the Globe cemetery well. It has been vandalised to within an inch in the past, so I really think it's a waste of time putting up new memorials.
There used to be a HUGE polished granite monument to the Colville family down there, it spanned about 5 lairs and it is now nowhere to be seen. Someone will have a very fancy marble fireplace and matching coffee table I expect.
The only thing that will stop the vandals is an electric fence!
As for Dalziel burial ground - I had no idea it had moved to Netherton!

Gerry,
I know this thread is really old, but the people you are talking about below are probably my ancestors.
I am visiting Scotland from the US and was hoping to find the graves of ancestors. The heritage center in Motherwell was incredibly helpful, but they warned me against visiting the Globe for safety reasons. I was very disappointed after traveling so far. I even asked two cab drivers about going down there and they both told me not to go.
Are there ever group trips planned for safety? I am leaving Scotland tomorrow, but if I am able to return I would love to visit this cemetary.
Also, if anyone does go and is able to photograph headstones for me, I would be so appreciative! My 3X grandparents were Joseph Fraser ( d -12-12-1896) and Elizabeth Todd Fraser (d-1902). They are buried in plot ED39. Joseph's parents were David Fraser (d-1-4-1864) and Agnes Leitch Fraser. Elizabeth's parents were Margaret Armstrong and Nathan Todd. I do not know if the 4X generation is buried at The Globe.
Thanks for any help!

The Globe cemetery (Dalziel Parish cemetery) did not open until about 1876.
There is one entry for the Fraser family in the records of Cambusnethan cemetery in Wishaw.
DAVID FRASER, coalminer, Wishaw, aged 64 years, married.
Parents - David Fraser and Helen Wilson.
Interred in plot E2257 on 28th July 1915.
Plot owned (at the time of this burial) by Mary Docherty or Wilson, 295 Caledonian Rd, Wishaw.

Hi all…
I'm a Canadian who is resident in Scotland, living not far from the Globe Cemetery. As it happens, two sets of my great great grandparents are buried there along with other ancestors. I have been on several visits and each time I grow increasingly disheartened about the condition of the cemetery. These feelings grew especially strong after recently finding a photograph of how it used to look - so stately and peaceful. Now it is a sad, disgusting mess - not at all a place to rest in peace.
I'd like to look into the possibility of launching a campaign to restore the cemetery to its' former glory as much as possible. This will be no mean feat and will likely cost a fortune - which the local authority likely won't pay for. If anyone on here (especially those with connections to the Globe) would consider making a donation to a crowd-funding initiative, would you reply here and let me know? If there is enough interest on this and other forums then I'll draw up a plan and get the ball rolling. I'll add some pics from my most recent visit soon!

Motherwell heritage centre were fab. So helpful. They did indeed advise against visiting the Globe cemetery. I found details of lair 31 CD which has James McPherson d. 1928, Janet Ferguson d. 1942 and Mary Cram d. 1900. Does anyone know if a stone for them still exists at the cemetery, or even better have a photograph of it? Thank you

hi Jean,
I know by your posts that we are related. I descend from William Bulloch and Margaret Lapslie married 1640. My Grandmother was Jeannie Bulloch 1869 married John Blackwood Mcfadyen.
Please get back to me.

Hi Elizabeth,
I'm looking into the John Blackwood McFadyen tree have you been able to go back very far?

Hi Phil,
Thanks for your note.
No Phil, I am only back to his Grandfather.
His Father was William born 1837, where? probably Paisley, married to Primrose Stewart, in Paisley. His Grandfather was John Mcfadyen born ca. 1813, where? married to Jean Beaton? could be Beath? not sure as it is very difficult to read.
John Blackwood Mcfadyen died in Motherwell ca. 1929.
I read am article in Motherwell Times he was a professional Opera Singer. His stage name was John Blackwood. My aunt Harried McFadyen McLeod was a concert Pianist in Motherwell.
I would love any news you have,

John Blackwood McFadyen died 1929 in Dalziel parish
He married Jeanie Bulloch 1896 in Dalziel parish
He was born 1867 in Blantyre
All of these records will confirm his parents names

Thanks for that info.
The problem Elizabeth has is with John's father William, he married Primrose Stewart 22 June 1863, Blantyre, but Primrose is back with her mother by the 1871 census, and married again 1884.
Unsure of Williams birth date and place,

1863 marriage record will confirm the name of William's parents and if they were still living. This should allow you to check census records for William with his parents and establish his place of birth

Thanks Phil,
I have the marriage of William and Primrose, I just can't read the name of William's Mother.
I think they probably came from Paisley.
I am on Ancestry and will have a look for your William.
I have done all that you suggest, to no avail.
Thank you again,
Elizabeth Mcfadyen Robbins, Canada

Hi Phil,

Contact Scotlandspeople and they will send a clearer image

Have you found William's death record?
What was his occupation?

Sorry, but it is the writing.

Hello there,
I took a wander down to the Globe this morning & didn't get murdered! What a hidden gem! The council haven't mown it for a couple of years and so the grass is really long & it looks like a haven for wildlife. That said, the potential for falling on your arse is heightened ::) I only met one dog walker down there, but I'm glad I went when I did. Too early for the junkies...
Are there any other 'derelict' cemeteries or kirkyards hereabouts that I can photograph? I know the one on the Dalziel estate, also the lovely old one at Stonehouse.
& if you were wondering, the doll in this photo is Bella. We visit old places & then she tells their stories on Instagram :)

Try posting an extract here and see if someone can decipher it.

This post is exactly what I’ve been looking for; love the humor :)
I finally got round to visiting the cemetery this week and can happily report that my dad and I didn’t meet a single undesirable. We did however meet several friendly people out walking and enjoying the unusually sunny weather. We parked at the Our Lady of good aid school at 3pm just as the kids were getting out. The pathway behind the school isn’t difficult to find and it isn’t until several hundred meters further down into the trees that it becomes isolated. We crossed the little bridge over the Calder on the right hand side and then took the beautiful tree-lined pathway into the cemetery. What a beautiful, peaceful resting place the Globe is. I was looking for 5 family graves, but unfortunately didn’t find them. I did however enjoy the tranquillity of the setting and the thought of being close to where their final resting place is. I will upload the photos that I did take onto Find a grave and transcribe the ones that I can read.

North Lanarkshire Heritage Centre has a lair plan so you should be able to locate the rough area of where your ancestors are buried

I actually have the certificate with the lair details, JC lair 41. I think I still managed to look in the wrong place when I was there. ??? Will have to go back next time I’m in Scotland and spend more time there. I was looking in the centre area and around the edges of the graveyard, didn’t have time to look at the graves on the slope at the back and I suspect that is exactly where I should have been looking :P
If anyone who lives locally reads this thread then I’m looking for a stone erected by Marshall and Mary Garland for their children James Garland d. 7th June age 6, Margaret Jane d. 6th June 1903 age 12, Annie d. 7th Nov 1904 age 1. Marshall is also there d. 3rd Feb 1926 and his wife Mary Garland
d. 25th March 1941.

Have you put a request out on Find a Grave? That might reach more people.

I did actually put it on Find a grave, but don’t remember if I gave the full details. Will check that :)
