Hi Everyone,
Was wondering if anyone ha any info on The Old Dalbeth Cemetery (also called St. Peters ) in Glasgow.
I have a relative that is buried there. His info that i have on him is :
Peter Farrell b. ? Ireland d. 14 Apr 1886 in Anderston, Burgh of Glasgow.
Burial - Dalbeth RC Cemetery
Crypt # 108 , single layer, east side.
Certificate # 673
Date of Puchase - 13 Jun 1863 witness, William Gimour, superintendent of cemetery.
I don't really know what the Certificate # means. Or why he purchased a burial plot 20 years before he died. My only thinking is that his mother might be buried in the same cemetery because she died in Winter 1861.
Her info is
Ann Flood , formally Farrell , nee Devlin b. ? d. 25 Nov 1861 in Clyde,Glasgow
She had married a Luke Flood in Glasgow on 10 Oct 1852.
I don't know what name she would be buried under ?
Does anyone know of this Cemetery or live near it ? I would appreciate any help in finding anything out, especially what might be on the tombstone , if there still is one.
Thank you,
Megan Flanigan Townsend

Hi Megan
I can't help you with the main detail you need, but here is a link to a previous post on Dalbeth Cemetery:

Monica,
Thank you for supplying that link. I read through all the posts and it seems my relative was probably buried in the Old Dalbeth Cemetery. It also seems that it has seen better days.
I might not be able to get info off a headstone because the posts said that about only 25-30 are still intact. I thank you very much for the help.
And I will post that If anyone lives near this cemetery if they could keep the name Farrell in mind I would appreciate it Crypt #108, Peter Farrell.
I live in NJ USA, and aren't able to get to Scotland. Only in my dreams !!

I am related to Peter Farrell who was related to Ann. He was married to Mary McPoland who was my ancestor. There are members of the Farrell family who are related to him living in New Jersey. North Allerton (forgive the spelling). There is a family tree on Ancestry UK, showing the Farrell family tree.
Ann was married to my great, great grand father, Patrick Farrell. He was her first wife and when he died, she married Luke Flood. Ann was born in Ireland in 1817 as far as I know. Her parents were Terence Flood and Sarah Cullin.
My name is Barry Lowe and I live in Ellesmere Port in England, Nr Liverpool.
-
Hi Mr Lowe,
Can you tell us how you are related to Peter Farrell and Mary McPoland? The family you mention in NJ (North Arlington) would be my line. There is another descendant on this chat forum who may also respond to you, Gerry Farrell.
It will be interesting to see how your family line fits in. The family trees you see on ancestry would be both Gerry and my family lines.
Patrick Farrell md. Ann Devlin in Co Down. Ann Devlin’s parents are Terrance Devlin and Sarah Cull. The Flood surname comes from Ann Devlin Farrell’s second marriage to Luke Flood in Glasgow.

manda_mc,
I’m not sure why you reposted my original post. Can you explain? That post is from 2008. We have learned a lot about this family since then. Do you have a question about this family?
Megan

Sorry I was trying to reply to the original post if you look you would see the comment from myself at the bottom of it

Thank you for the offer. My cousin Gerry who lives in Scotland visited the cemetery and photographed all headstones that have survived. Unfortunately our relative’s grave wasn’t one of them. We do at least know he was buried there along with some of his wives and children.
Thank you again,
Megan

Peter Farrell is my Great granddad's Father. His name was William Farrell and he lived in Motherwell in Scotland and my Mother's name was Winifred Elizabeth Farrell and she had 2 sister's, Theresa and Mary plus one brother, Joseph. Joseph is the only one alive, and he lives in Glasgow.
Thank you for the reply. I will give you more information soon.

Hi Barry,
The Gerry Farrell on this site is your cousin, son of Joseph. He has sent you a private message on here. You need to look at your acct settings and you should see there is a message for you.
Megan

How do I look at my acct settings?
-
At the top of your screen there should be a tab that says “my messages”. It should be in there. You can also click on “my profile”
-
For some reason, there is no message in "My Messages". I will try again. Are you on Facebook, if so may be you can contact me there.
I have also some information for you, that you might find interesting. Another branch of my family, through my Dad's side, Fred Lowe. His grandmother was Clare Oglethorpe. She came from Cumbria. Her brother Addison, emigrated to Pennsylvania, to work in the coalfields there. His son was Joseph and one of his grandchildren was Raymond Oglethorpe, who was a major in the Korean war. He had many brothers and sisters, Neil, Robert, Betty Jane, Pauline and Beatrice. Their relatives are still around to this day. Have you any information on your family or pictures? I will try and send you pictures of mine.
Best wishes Barry.

Dear Megan
Maybe you can send me your address and then I can write to you. I could then send you photo's of your relatives in England. It would be nice to be in touch with my American relatives. My nephew is living in America with his partner (Married). They are moving to Las Vegas soon.

I have now 16, soon to become 17 Great nephews and nieces' would you believe so you have a big family on the other side of the border now.
All the Best
Barry.

I am not sure how to retrieve a private message.
Scroll up to the top of the page. Click on 'My Messages' in the brown banner below the picture of poppies etc. Then click on 'Inbox'.

I tried that and there was no messages there. So frustrating. Can you send me your address on Email. or Face book.

New to rootschat. Looking for Gerry Farrell who says he has photos of the gravestones from Old Dalbeth Cemetery. Looking for the Campbell Family buried in Lair #2 and #5. Any information would be appreciated. :)
-
Evening all,
I'll be visiting Glasgow for New Year and I'm hoping to find my great great grandfather's grave. He died in 1928 and is buried in section 16, lair 1915, in St Peter's, Dalbeth.
I found this but I may as well be looking at Hieroglyphics :)
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3MwseCOocy8/UJQTIXT8T5I/AAAAAAAAAM4/RiAtpuH3X4s/s1600/AberdeenJollyMap.jpg
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Sharon

Hi Sharon
If it's St Peter's then here is a map I put together some time ago. Section 16 is easy to find as all sections are well signed. Follow the main path/road from main gate round to the right of the office then just keep going, sec 16 on right about half way down. I would expect lair to be somewhere in the middle of the sect. If they are around staff are very helpful in locating lair with you. Hope this helps.

Thanks Davie!
Yep - It's St Peter's. I looked up the registers in the Mitchell Library when I visited a few years ago.
I'm not hopeful that there will be a gravemarker but at least the walk will blow a few cobwebs away on New Year's Day :D
-
Hope you find something on your visit. By the way your 'map' doesn't look familiar at all?

I found it via google images. Appears to have come from deceasedonlineblog.blogspot.com.
Thanks again!

Just a quick up-date. On a bright and sunny New Year's Day we got a taxi out to Dalbeth. Thanks to Arygenes directions we found the grave location. Sadly, but as I had expected, there was no headstone.
-
Glad to see you made it, always disappointing when no headstone though.
