Funeral Invitations & Memorial Cards in Airdrie Public Library
« on: Saturday 09 July 16 17:48 BST (UK) »
Below is a list of cards that are held in the Discovery Room at Airdrie Public Library. I have photocopies of all these cards.
They hold lots of information including in most cases, the place of interment. Time, day and date of death, usually a next of kin, usually the full address and the age of the deceased.
Almost all of them have an address in Airdrie, one or two from Coatbridge and further afield.

Hi Lodger

Never thought of these as sources for research. Have stuck pretty much to searching for death notices in newspapers which often give very little info. Realise now what an awful lot of info these cards contained.

Every little helps Monica, I always tell people that the information is out there somewhere, it's just a question of knowing where to look.
At the moment I am busy compiling a list of lair owners from 1881 for Old Monkland churchyard. Some of it is really "bare bones"  ::) but there are some gems too. As soon as it's ready I'll post it.
