Monica,
Yes, the Lesmahagow records are worth a look, there is a list of mortcloths from 1765 that ends at 1819, then a list of deaths with varying information in sometimes quite a difficult script, from 1820 - 1844.
Other good Lanarkshire parishes are -
Avondale (621) Has a mortality book 1817 - February 1854. Good information, wife usually has her maiden surname, some place of abode given, age, relationship, place of burial, date of burial and occupation.
Cambuslang (627) has burials 1784 - November 1854, quite good and gets better in the last decades.
Carluke (629) has a very good list of burials in the churchyard 1838 - 1851.
Carstairs (633) deaths 1819 - 1854. Gives name, age and cause of death.
