Hi

While searching for a online resource for Cambuslang Grave index, it linked me to here so wondering if you can help. Really looking for any graves that have a Welsh buried there, especially Robert Welsh (1878-1945) & Joanna Craig Wesh, nee Maxwell (1881-1952). Any help much appreciated.

They may be buried in Westburn or Rutherglen cemetery

Stewart,
If you have exact dates of death, it may be worth looking at death announcements in The Glasgow Herald.
The newspaper is not indexed or searchable by keyword but, it may be worth looking at issues covering a few days after the death.
(On both years, the death announcements are on the front page)

What was their address when they died?

Hi

They lived at 25 Grahams Buildings or known locally as the Square, Halfway, Cambuslang.
His father, Robert Welsh also died 18 Nov 1927, 566 Hamilton Road, Cambuslang.
Any help much appreciated, thankyou.

Myself and another guy uploaded hundreds of gravestones details for Cambuslang (Kirkhill) Cemetery on to Find a Grave and I dont recall a Welsh; Westburn opened in the mid 1890's, there is an old ledger in an office in nearby Blantyre which contains all the internments for Westburn, which includes family signatures and plot costs etc etc

Thanks Everyone

Yes, tried Findagrave, to be honest, they were poor so I guess they had a cheap headstone, and that headstone is long gone. I've found that with a few grave plots for my family, where the headstone has been removed. Shame really, I wish the church took more care with grave headstones and plots years ago, feel upset when they lay the headstones down because of health & safety (in case it falls on a very small person).
I was wondering if there were burial records, payment records etc or graveyard maps for the Cambuslang cemeteries? Would the local council hold them or National Records office?

I have MacDermid ancestors who lived in Cambuslang

I don't know which graveyard they would be buried at
Some lived in an area called Burns butt in late 1890.'s to early 90's

They were poor so wouldn't have had grand gravestone.s
But if anyone does come across Malcolm or Duncan MacDermid father and son who both died 1910 I.d be grateful

The work you.ve done is amazing .
