Title: Carluke cemetery?? HALLIDAY
Post by: ard on Wednesday 22 March 06 20:02 GMT (UK)
It seems several or more HALLIDAY and perhaps DICK relatives are buried in the Carluke churchyard... mid to late 1800s. Does anyone know of an online MI resource or look-up? These were miner families and I don't know what kind of stone they would have been able to errect or if they would be readable...

much thanks

Hi there,

I don't know anywhere that you can find them online.  However, if you are based in Glasgow (or can get there easily) they appear to be available at the Mitchell Library.  Alternatively, there is a collection of Lanarkshire MIs that are published by the Scottish Genealogy Society, which might have what you are looking for.  I found this at http://www.gwsfhs.org.uk/publications.asp

I hope this helps a little.

Cheers,
Clare

Hi there,

If you can find out what Boneyard they are in Carluke (I think that there is only one) and can get their exact location I don't mind getting you a wee picture.

Thank you for your kind offer, Swally. I unfortunately have little other than: buried Carluke Cemetery/churchyard. Having walked through cemeteries looking for ancestor's MIs before, I know it can be a daunting task, unless the cemtery is small or all the stones are lined in perfect rows!! These were miner families and I really have no idea what kind of stone they would be able to afford even.

These would be burials around the mid to late 1800s (and possibly before & after)  What I have found about cemeteries in Carluke is:
Carluke Carluke (Old Cemetery), Carnwarth Road
Carluke Carluke Cemetery, Carnwath Road
Carluke St Lukes Cemetery, Thomson Street
My guess would be the "old cemetery" but I don't know. Being of Canada (far enough away!) "old" might have a different meaning to me. An old cemetery in Scotland might be too old???

Clare, I will look at the link, thank you. It will be a few years before I can indulge in trip to Scotland!

cheers,

Ard,

I am but a stone throw away in Wishaw, Scotland about 5 miles from Carluke the home town of my wife.  Why don't you write to them and see if the can do a look up ?

Wishing you all the best,

The first two Boneyards that you mentioned are one in the same.
This is a very neat Boneyard and appears to be well organised, we have kin folk buried there ourselves

The Thompson Street one I think has been used for many a year.
Why don't you go onto Sctlandspeople.gov.uk and search for their births/marriages & deaths.  It is cheap, cost six GBP for 30 credits and it will cost 1 credit to look at a search and five credits to download an image.
Thus it works out if you do your homework just one pound twenty five pence (once you include your search) per certificate.

The births you can get on line from 1855 - 1905
The marriages from 1855 - 1926
The deaths from 1855 - 1954

If you PM me with names I 'll have wee look on another site that I can access.  Do you defo know that they were from Carluke?

WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST,

Swally

hi just seen your note a year late but hey whats a year when we are talking 150 i stay in carluke the old cemetry as swally says are both the same Thomson street is the gate into the graveyard and it runs along Carnwath road the only other graveyard in Wilton Road
and it isnt that old.  CArluke historical society have the South Lanarkshire cemetry records on disc and they are based in Hamilton Street
Carluke ML8 4HA  I paid a visit to old yard o few weeks ago and the stones that are there are not good.  looking at the small amount left we must have buried the dead in the back gardens because the yard is not over flowing.  We are from the Dicks mid 1800 miners
from kilncadzow which comes under Carluke although a few miles from the actual town.  They mined the limeworks in that area now the area in mostly farm land no mines to be seen.  We are from the Dicks roughsdyke farm Braehead David Dick being the father,  I have researched this line so if can be of help let us know.  Hallidays are still in carluke.  There were alot of Dick families in CArluke at that time and dont seem to be related.  As i said the miners came from Braehead about 4 miles from Kilncadzow and the other families were Mill owners the mill still stands.  Happy hunting

Hi Pearl - Thank- you for responding. I only can afford to build the tree in drips and drabs so indeed a year is not very significant!

And yes I notice that you have Dick as a surname. What I've been able to determine of the Dick branch of my family ends (starts?) with Elizabeth Dick who married John Halliday.

Elizabeth, my ggg grandmother may have been born at Barony born between 1807 & 1812. From her death info of 1875, it appears her parents were  Ambrose Dick and Elizabeth Stevenson. She had a brother James. Other siblings may have been Christian, Agness, Margaret and Mary all born somewhere in Lanark except for James who appears to have been born at Kilmarnock, Ayrshire. One of my great aunts thought the Dick family had been from Stirling but she may have been mistaken - she was very old at the time. Although they seemed to have lived around Wishaw, many apprear to have been buried at Carluke, which I understand is quite close by?

You'd think with a name like Ambrose, I could find more on him! Given that for the most part, the naming of children in the families seemed to have followed the scottish naming system quite faithfully, I found it interesting that none of the children or grandchildren seemed to have been given the name Ambrose and I'm wondering if he also went by another name.

The surname Dick seemed to have been used as a middle name for several descendants and for several subsequent generations - and even my grandmother's sister had been named Elizabeth Dick Ferguson after her maternal great grandmother (my grandmother had been named for her paternal great grandmother: Jane Frew!)

So that is pretty much what I have!

cheers,
ard

Post by: ard on Saturday 27 October 07 19:22 BST (UK)
This is actually very exciting information, all of it! More than I realized at first glance.

SANCTI - that birth for Ambros(e) Dick is particularily interesting as it connects with the Stirling of my g aunt's memory.I like that! I had found marriage and some birth info via the IGI but not that information. Their daughter Elizabeth's first child was named David, so I'd vote for that being the name of Ambrose's father. William and David are quite different, it must have been very difficult to read.
Anyway that information opens new doors, for sure and it is further strengthened by the burial information of Margaret Halliday: parents John Halliday and Elizabeth Blair Dick!!

LODGER Also very interesting, especially when I don't recognise some of the people -yet, if they are in the same plot, a connection is there! I have LEGGAT ancestor of Cambusnethan - Agnes Halliday married James Leggat there and it is where most of their children were born. Although this Leggat family moved to Harrington in Cumberland Eng. after 1871, there was a fair bit of movement of the families between the two areas -

JAMES DICK, was my ggg grandmother Elizabeth's brother.

The father of Catherine Halliday, John, was a son of Elizabeth Dick and John Halliday.

I hadn't come across the ALLAN connection I'm guessing it is from Mary! Robert Halliday (another son of Elizabeth Dick Halliday married a Mary (I had no maiden name for her in my database so now I think I do!)

John and Elizabeth (Dick) did have a daughter Margaret Halliday born around 1832. It must be that she married David LITTLEJOHN. I especially am thrilled to see her parents names as John Halliday and Elizabeth Blair Dick which ties in so neatly with who Sancti found for parents of Ambrose Dick - the mother's name Elizabeth BLAIR.

Luckly I had some info on the McPhail stillborn  or I would have been stumped! Not so long ago I found out that Agnes (Halliday) Leggat's daughter Jeannie (nee Jane Frew Leggat) had first married Archibald McPhail. This still born may have been their only child. Archi died in 1896 and Jeannie remarried (I had previously only known of the second marriage).

It is wonderful that the names of plot owners are included. It actually gives a ton of information. I'm wodering what the owner of the plot for John Halliday was Elizabeth Anderson or Halliday 40 Shand St wishaw. Was it that she had two names. I think John's wife's maiden name was McLennen...



The image of the puzzle is certainly becoming clearer!

Thank you so much!

Post by: ard on Saturday 27 October 07 20:26 BST (UK)
THe name Ambrose certainly does help!!

The IGI also has a record of an Agness batch C190871

AGNESS DICK 
 Christening:  02 APR 1820   Hutchesontown Relief Church, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland
  Father:  AMBROSE DICK
  Mother:  ELISBEATH STEVEN

Because James was the 4th child, I figured that since Elizabeth and Christian came before James and the others after, there must  also have been an unknown in between. I don't know the names of Elizabeth Stevenson's father (perhaps Christian?) but I'm thinking this unknown child could have been named David, after Ambrose's father (if that was in fact his name)

Interestingly there doesn't seem to be a record for Elizabeth (Blair) Dick who was born sometime between  1807 & 1812 (census ages vary). It was her death information that let me know that her parents were the same as those above.

I just had a thought - perhaps she was born in Stirlingshire also, although census info points to Barony.

I say it's interesting because I can't find her daughter Agnes' birth info either - I often seem to have more luck with siblings of my direct ancestors!! Agnes was b. around 1842, apparently at Cambusnthan.

ard

Ard, "Elizabeth Anderson or Halliday" is a legal expression.  One would be her maiden anme, the other her married name.  In this case I would imagine that Anderson was her maiden surname.

Christian was a female name here in Scotland at that time. It later became Christina.

Regards,

Lodger.
Title: Re: Carluke cemetery?? HALLIDAY
Post by: ard on Sunday 28 October 07 01:54 BST (UK)
Oh - yes I guess I had noted that Christian was female - I just forgot!

I had wondered if Elizabeth (Dick) Halliday had remarried as I found this

ELIZABETH DICK
    Spouse:  WILLIAM ANDERSON
  Marriage:  02 DEC 1862   Cambusnethan, Lanark, Scotland
 Batch No.:   M116281 

The only reason I would consider this is that her son John (I believe it is her son since the age fits) is in a plot owned by Elizabeth Anderson or Halliday 40 Shand St wishaw

However  there is not sign that she had another surname in the 1871 census nor is William Anderson isn't mentioned on  her death record, only John Halliday...

If I understand correctly, women kept their maiden names in Scotland, at least up until a certain time when the custom changed. Do you know if that is right?

cheers,
ard

Post by: Lodger on Sunday 28 October 07 15:05 GMT (UK)
Hello again Ard, if it helps at all - in my 1922 street directory for Wishaw the householder at 40 Shand St was Mrs Elizabeth Halliday. Also at that address (I have to presume this list was made-up of eligible voters) was Archibald Halliday.
Women did keep their maiden surnames, (a very informal arrangement really, my mother, who was 83 when she passed away, was still known, and addressed by her maiden name to those in the town she had known from her schooldays and from the time before she was married).and under Scots law to this day a woman is described in legal documents as - for example - Elizabeth Anderson or Halliday.

Title: Re: Carluke cemetery?? HALLIDAY
Post by: ard on Sunday 28 October 07 15:37 GMT (UK)
Hmm - that is intersting.
mt ggg grandmother Elizabeth Dick or Halliday was certainly not alive in 1922!

John Halliday and Elizabeth Dick had a daughter Elizabeth - perhpas she is the Elizabeth Halliday or Anderson who was owner of the plot that John was buried in. :-\

Thanks for the information, Lodger.This one might take some time to sort through! While grandmother( herself granddaughter of Agnes Halldiay, also daug of John Halliday and Elizabeth Dick) had immigrated to Canada with her family in the early 1900s, along with a couple of children of Robert or John Halliday and some Leggats, I was told their Halliday relatives were of Wishaw.

cheers,

Title: Re: Carluke cemetery?? HALLIDAY
Post by: Lodger on Sunday 28 October 07 16:44 GMT (UK)
Ard, my interpretation of the facts is that this Elizabeth Anderson or Halliday was the wife of the John Halliday who died in 1916.  When he died, it would have been the norm to have  the plot registered in the widow's name, assuming that it was a new plot purchased at the time of John's death.  This would tell us that his widow's maiden surname was Anderson.

Lodger
Title: Re: Carluke cemetery?? HALLIDAY
Post by: ard on Sunday 28 October 07 17:18 GMT (UK)
Oh - yes that could be a possibility. I hadn't considered that because I believed John jr's wife Elizabeth's maiden name was McLennen.  I can't remember how I came across that information (I'll have to dig around a bit) I had looked at the IGI but there were no matches to McLennen, nor Anderson for that matter! I don't have an Archibald Halliday in my connected to the family at this point either -

I'll have to look into it further. Thanks for giving me a better idea of the conventions regarding name usage.

ard
Title: Re: Carluke cemetery?? HALLIDAY
Post by: ard on Sunday 28 October 07 17:30 GMT (UK)
Ah yes - Elizabeth and John's son David Dick Halliday's death certificate (1892) has the name of his mother as McLennen (although a bit difficult to read)

1891 census has Elizabeth age 39, her birth place Ardclach, Nairn

At that time she and John had 3 children: John, Donald and David. From the burial information sent to me, it appears that they had also had a daughter Catherine who had died as a baby.

Given that information, it made sense to me that the following is probably the IGI record of John's wife (place fits ,the names of her parents are echoed in the children's names but the year of birth wasn't the same as the census implied):

IGI  C111202
ELSPET MC LENNAN
Birth:  27 FEB 1849   
Christening:  18 MAR 1849   Ardclach, Nairn, Scotland
  Father:  DONALD MC LENNAN  Family
  Mother:  CATHERINE FRASER     

It would probably help to see how the are in 1901.

And so I'm still left wondering about ANDERSON!

A bit of mystery is always good for the soul!

Hello.... This is facinating.

I am Lucy Stevenson Halliday (now Topp)
My father was Eric Stevenson Halliday (born 1937)
His parents were Alexander Halliday and Catherine Stevenson

My grandparents lived in Lanakshire, Scotland....

I wonder if we can be related to this clan of Halliday's?

Any idea..... xx Lucy
Title: Re: Carluke cemetery?? HALLIDAY
Post by: ard on Wednesday 28 April 10 16:26 BST (UK)
There is certainly a possibility but Halliday wasn't that uncommon a name in Lanarkshire. If your grandfather Halliday was from the Wishaw area (consider too place names such as Cambusnethan, the Mondklands, Carluke ), the likelyhood increases!

My ancestor John Halliday, though born at Crawford around 1804, lived, worked as a coal miner and died (1853) in the vicinity of Wishaw - so did the next generation. Working in the mines was what the men in this family did, for the most part.

John's parents, Robert Halliday and Margaret Williamson, appeared to have ended their days in there as well. Another Halliday family who lived side by side with mine, that of Archibald Halliday and Marion Penman. I believe these two families are closely connected but I can't yet be sure.

The theory I am going with at the moment is that Archibald and Robert were brothers born at Killin, Perth, Scotland, children of THOMAS HALIDAY  and ANNE CAMPBELL. But that remains but a theory!

Hi Ard.

My grandmother was a Halliday and when her last surviving sister died earlier this year, we found an interesting document whilst sorting her belongings.  The document detailed the marriage between Thomas Halliday and a sister of William Wallace.  I have not had the opportunity to look into this as yet, but it is a fascinating twist to the family name. 

My family may well be related to yours as the most recent hail from Benhar (a small mining village that no longer exists) and then from Faldhouse which is 11 miles from Wishaw.  I will list the family details that I am aware of and this may or may not bring your search further to life.  There are a number of Hallidays in the cemetary in Faldhouse.

G Grandparents - Peter Halliday and Mary Halliday nee Quinn
Children - Margaret Halliday (grandma, born 1 March 1924) and her siblings Peter, Joseph, John, James, Susan, Elizabeth and Mary.
I do hope that this is of use to you.  Good luck with your on-going search!

Charlotte

Hi. I am very interested in the document you have detailing the marriage between Thomas Halliday and a sister of William Wallace.  Is it possible that you can send me a copy of that document? I am involved in the research of the Hallidays and William Wallace.
Title: Re: Carluke cemetery?? HALLIDAY
Post by: ard on Sunday 14 August 16 12:47 BST (UK)
Hello Charlotte (sorry I don't remember receiving a notification of your post) and Tony. I do not have a Wallace in my database (yet) but it is far from complete and unfortunately I am not familiar with the area to get a sense of the different villages but the proximity is promising!)
Do you have any more information on who the parents of your great grandfather Peter Halliday were? So far, in the mining areas in North Lanarksire (Carluke, Cambusnethan, Old and New Monklands, Shotts, Dalziel, Bothwell....) I have found that many of the Hallidays descend from either Robert Halliday (d. 1851) and Margaret Williamson or Archibald Halliday (1786-1840) and Marion Penman. I believe that Robert and Archibald, if not actual brothers, were closely related.(I have found a hypothetical link : if they are brothers, their parents may have been Thomas Halliday and Ann Campbell of Perth... I have no confirmation of this however) If you do find a connection to either of these two families, I will happily share what I have. Cheers.

Hello Lucy, have you got any further on your search. I did forget to mention that there is a Stevenson connection in my family. Elizabeth Blair Dick who married John Halliday was the daughter of Ambrose Dick and Elizabeth Stevenson. Another Halliday/Stevenson union was that of Grizzel Halliday (daughter of Archibald H. and marion Penman) and James Stevenson in the early 1850s. What I've noticed is that the families in these communities tended to be very close knit, and the webs of relations are very interesting. Another thing that I have found very helpful in my research is the Scottish naming patterns that were adhered to at one time. Hope this can be useful to you. (see my previous post about two apparently related Halliday clans.) cheers

Hello ard,  I believe we share the same ggg grandmother Elizabeth Stevenson who married Ambrose  Dick! 
I am pursuing their daughter Mary, my gg grandmother.  Mary married Thomas Baxter in 1846.  She and her husband have a 'daughter' Margaret McIver Baxter on the 1871 census and is listed as being born in Baltimore Maryland USA!!!  Given that she appears 14 years into their marriage, I can only assume that they took her in??
Margaret married Alexander Sutherland in 1881 (Galsgow). Their marriage record indicates Margaret (Maggie's) parents as John McIver (ship steward) and Mary McIver mn: Dick.  It's interesting however that a witness to the marriage is 'Mary Baxter'.
I have been unable to find Margaret's US birth record.  I tried searching incoming/outgoing passenger lists to try to figure out who her parents truly were. 
I'm wondering if you have come across any McIver names in your research so far.

I'm not great on understanding all the ins/outs of this site, so I hope I get a notification if you respond to my post.

I see you are in Canada as am I. 

All the best, M/
