I should have mentioned this is Vol. 1, Old Churchyard and Church:
Plot numbers: 19/18 & 20/10
ERECTED BY ROBERT LEISHMAN/NEWBATTLE
In memory of Helen Shanks, Lasswade, his daughter
who died 21st Jan 1881 aged 24 years.
Also Richard his son who died 9th May 1888, aged 20
years,
Also Agnes Hardie Leishman, Galadean Hill, Newtongrange
who died 4th July 1890 aged 16 years,
Also David Leishman Gallowdean Hill, died 4th March 1891
aged 18 years,
The above Robert Leishman died 24th August 1894,
Acre, Newbattle aged 63 years;
Also Mary, Newbattle, wife of George Caldwell and beloved
daughter of above who died 19th April 1905 aged 40 years;
Also Mary Murray, Monkswood, wife of the above Robert
Leishman, 26th Feb 1906, aged 75 years.
This one is recorded in the back under no Lair:
Richard Leishman, aged 6 weeks, Hillhead, interred Nov. 4th 1862
It is possible your relative may be in the next Vol. Also, I've discovered
many of my relations who died in Newbattle were taken back to
their parish of birth for burial. This surprised me.
Here is the website for this booklet:

Forgot to say, there are 100's of Thomsons. Maybe Janet was buried without her maiden name. If you could
give me specific names of other family members, husband, children etc and dates, she still might be there
somewhere.

Hi Elaine
many thanks for taking the time to check on the Leishman surname,no connection at the moment but maybe a connection in the future.
Forgot to say, there are 100's of Thomsons. Maybe Janet was buried without her maiden name. If you could
give me specific names of other family members, husband, children etc and dates, she still might be there
somewhere.
I cannot supply enough info on Janets husband Frank or their 14children but appreciate the offer.I off to check my tree incase I have missed anybody for you to look up ;) I may be back asking for more.

Would you have any information on Abraham Archibald who died in 1834 or his wife Marjory (m.s. Robertson) - death date unknown. Abraham was buried on the 21 of November 1834 in Newton.

Hi Barb
I hope that you don’t mind me hijacking your post, but I have sent you a PM regarding the post. As this is the first time that I have send a private message, I can only hope that you receive it OK, but if not please feel free to get back to me.

This is only a possibility but worth a go if the Newbattle records go back to the early/mid 1800's.
Looking for John Thomson (sorry, saw your previous note on that surname), and his wife Euphemia Thomson, nee Nicol. I have no approx deaths on either, however, both were born Newbattle, he abt 1769, and she abt 1773. Their six children were also born Newbattle. Euphen 1795, Janet 1796, Margaret 1798, Marion 1800, Helen 1802 and John 1805. So I presume parents died sometime after 1805, and probably(?) before 1870.
Hope that helps, but if too difficult, not to worry.
Les

Sorry I haven't replied sooner. I never received an email notice about your post and just happened to take a look tonite. Yes I do have Abraham Archibald's COD and he is also in my tree:
Name: ARCHIBALD Abraham
DOD: 18-Nov-1835
Age: 59
Address: Redrow Newton MLN
COD: Asthma
Info: Father of Archibald Archibald
DOB: 21-Nov-1835
POB: Newton MLN
Also wife Marjorie:
Name: ROBERTSON Marjorie
DOD: 02-Apr-1854
Age: 78
POD: North Leith
COD: Old Age
Info: Mother of Robert. Archibald
DOB: 04-Apr-1854
POB: Newton MLN
There are so many mining families with ASTHMA listed as COD, which is more likely "code" for black lung.
Abraham and Marjorie's grandson Abraham b. 1821 Newton (son of Andrew Archibald b. abt 1797) married a
Catherine Moffat who is in my Moffat tree.
Hope this helps,
Elaine

Wonder why I'm not receiving email about these posts?
Sorry I couldn't find these names. The problem is there are so many of them and so many
mixed names in one lair. How they did these burials I don't know. There are 2 children
in my grgrgrandparents graves that I haven't a clue who they are. There was only 2 Nicol's
in the whole place which is very surprising considering what a common name it was.
Nicol, stillborn, Newtongrange, interred 30/04/1917 (In a grave with 7 other surnames.
No Lair: Jane Nicol, aged 55, Bonnyrigg, Cockpen, interred 25/09/1860
Do you have any married names for the daughters?
Elaine

Thanks very much for the lookup, Elaine.
"Do you have any married names for the daughters?"
I'm only researching direct ancestors, so I've only got the one married name for the daughter.
Margaret THOMSON married (first) 25/4/1816 at St.Cuthberts, Liberton to George DOBIE. He died early 1830's. Her second marriage 12/8/1857 at Dalkeith to David ARMSTRONG. His death details are unknown, but Margaret is shown as a widow in 1851 Census. She d.2/2/1857 Dalkeith, being buried New Church Yard, Dalkeith.
Not being a "local", I'm unsure whether Dalkeith is covered by your indexes.
"Wonder why I'm not receiving email about these posts?"
Don't know, but I know of a couple of threads that do not notify me by email, so I check my "New Replies" link every so often just to make sure I'm not missing out on anything. I did receive an email for this thread.

Hi Barb,
I don't know how much you know about Newton parish but I have researched it for years, and have some amazing information and photographs etc. If you are interested please send me a private message.
Elaine

You're welcome Les, sorry it wasn't much use.
I should have mentioned this is the Burial Index for the old Newbattle cemetery which I visited a couple of years ago and is in a very dangerous state of repair. Most of the graves stones have had to be knocked down due to safety concerns, the grounds are full of sunken graves. The council who knock the stones down don't worry about
whether the stone is right side up or not, so very often you can't read the names. However the actual index is kept at the Lothians FHS. The Newbattle new cemetery is in much better condition. This hasn't been completely
transcribed yet but will be available eventually.
Liberton is a seperate parish from St. Cuthberts. St. Cuthberts is in the heart of Edinburgh city whereas
Liberton like Newbattle, Dalkeith and other mining villages is on the outskirts. The majority of residents in the
outlining villages such as these were coalminers or farm workers. Anyone living in St. Cuthberts would
probably not have worked in these industries as there were no mines/farms in the actual city of Edinburgh.
My point being that Margaret would have been married in either Liberton or St. Cuthberts depending if her
husband was from there which would make him a different occupation.
There are a number of Armstrongs, no David's though and no Dobies. Dalkeith grave yard is also
seperate from Newbattle. I will be going there this summer though I don't think the actual written index is available yet. Will look and take as many photos as I can.

Thanks

Hi Elaine
Do you have any mention of Sneddon/en, Snaddon/en in your index. A Janet Easton married a William Sneddon, coalminer c. 1800, probably Muiravonside , Stirling. They are in the 1841 census for Cranston, but Janet is widowed by 1851.
There is reference on Family Search to the death of Janet Easton, wife of William Sneddon in 1854, "Newton Grange, Newbattle", but no mention of the source of the information.
Thanks

Which grave index would you like me to look in? Newbattle or Newton?
Elaine
-
Thanks for the very informative reply, Elaine.
Hopefully (and I mean HOPEFULLY!), my intentions for 2010 are to travel to the UK for a month or so, and drive through all(?) the towns/villages of England, Scotland and Ireland where the ancestors lived. A lot of planning, but also very rewarding. No doubt Newbattle, Dalkeith, etc will be included.
Once again, thanks for your time and effort. Even though you were unable to help with my specific question, your replies were very helpful.

Hi Tom,
There are loads of Sneddon's with various spellings but none to match your dates. I do know that very often a person may die in the parish they lived in but were taken back to their parish of birth for burial. This may be the case in this instance particulary as they married in a different county altogether.Sorry I couldn't find them.

You are very welcome Les. I do hope you manage your trip. You will enjoy it so much, it's just a thrill to see where our ancestors lived (and died). When I lived in Scotland esp. I had no interest in the history let alone my own
families history until I moved away, now I cant get enough of it. I also lived in England so if you need any help with the planning let me know.

I'm a direct descendant of Janet Easton/Sneddon. I have lived in NZ since 1956.
Alastair Sneddon

Although I've lived in NZ since 1956, I've been 'home' a number of times. About 1997 I was driving towards Newtongrange where my fathers family had lived. I was smoking and threw my butt out of the window. The butt landed in the backseat and I stopped in a hurry. After getting rid of the cigarette butt I noticed cemetery gates across the road. It was the Newbattle cemetery!
I went over and spoke to some workmen and told them that I thought my grandfather (Alexander Nicholson McKenzie Fraser SNEDDON) and grandmother (Elizabeth Gibb SNEDDON nee WALKER) were buried there. They looked up the register book and took me to their unmarked graves!!!!!!!!
Talk about coincidences.
I see from one of the previous posts there was and inquiry about William Sneddon and Janet Easton - they are both antecedents of mine.
Alastair

Hi Alastair
We seem to have common antecedents in William Sneddon and Janet Easton. I'll provide my email address in a personal message if you'd like to share information.

I now have the book on the burials at the Newbattle Cemetery Churchyard - well worth the purchase as I have found many relations buried there.
Re:
Hannah Dobbie ms York died Jan 1875 - couldn't find anything at Newbattle

DUDGEON Alexander, aged 32, Newtongrange, interred 30/8/1861
Elisabeth Dudgeon ms Dobbie died Jan 1900. - buried in plot no. 17/7 - no headstone:
Elizabeth Dudgeon, aged 85, Newtongrange, interred 27/1/1900

Hi,
Would you hae an entry for george Robertson son of Robert and Janet Robertson approx 1850 please. he wold have been aged approx 13 years.
Thank you,
Lynda
-
Hi Lynda,
There isn't a George Robertson listed that matches, however doen't mean that he isn't buried there.
The burial register looks like it starts at about 1855 and earlier deaths and burials are only known from headstones. I know I have rellies (dec'd befer 1855) who appear on old parish records but not is the book.

I was wondering whether you could look up any of the Moore family buried at Newbattle. This would be really helpful as i am going for a trip to Scotland next month.
Many thanks

1914 - 1918

I am looking for a record of the burial site for Janet Stewart, who died in 1851 and i believe was buried in the"old" Newbattle churchyard. Can you help me with this? I am new to this site so don't know if I am doing this correctly.
-
Hi,
I can't find a record for a Janet Stewart d. 1851, she doesn't have a headstone and the records for other burials only start at 1855.
Was Stewart her maiden name or married name as many women are recorded using the maiden name. Any other details - husband or children which may help me see if there is a connection
cheers
Carol
-
Thanks for looking, Carol. Janet Stewart's maiden name was Ramage. Her husband's name was Lewis Stewart. He was a miner and they lived in a place called Brewers Bush in the 1850s. Most of the family left for the United States in the late 1860s but one daughter, Jane, stayed in Scotland. We believe her married name was Jane Charleston and her husband's name was Adam. They may have been buried in Newbattle after 1855.

Hi Clare,
Re: FAIRGRIEVE
There are no headstones for Fairgrieve but there is three burial records:
Plot 12/57
Mary Fairgrieve aged 7, Hunterfield, interred 18/12/1886
Margaret Fairgrieve aged 4 moths, Hunterfield, interred 11/1/1898
Also in this plot are:
Jane Smith, aged 60, Castlehill interred 22/3/1873
Marion Young, aged 13 months, Hunterfield, interred 16/2/1887
William Young, aged 2, The Brewery, Borthwick, interred 24/8/1887
William sandilands, aged 8 weeks, Easthouses, interred 25/2/1900
Robert Amos, aged 43, Dalkeith, interred 6/4/1902
Plot 12/58
William Fairgrieve, aged 64, Stobhill, interred 14/3/1888
Also in this plot are:
Margaret Ovens McLaren, aged 27, Hunterfield, interred 15/3/1893
Marion Young, aged 74, Dalkeith, interred 27/11/1903
Amelia Young, aged 50, White Hill, interred 8/2/1914
James Young, aged 58, Whitehill, interred 29/9/1922
Annie Young, aged 57, Dalkeith, interred 15/4/1945
Re: McLAREN
No headstone just a burial record for this one:
Plot 12/60
Ellen McLaren, aged 8, at Newtonloan Hospital, Cockpen, interred 23/3/1893
Included this one as Helen and Ellen are often interchanged.
Also with Ellen is:
Henry Mclaren, aged 2, Hunterfield, interred 17/12/1896
Also no headstone for this one:
Plot 12/17
Helen McLaren, aged 81, Hunterfield, interred 29/9/1916
And buried in the same plot are:
James Wilson, aged 51, Westhouses, interred 25/6/1868
Davidson, aged 3 hours, Gowkshill, interred 8/12/1871
John McLaren, aged 76, New Hunterfield, interred 10/6/1908
There is a headstone for a Thomas Mclaren who died 1905 (interred 5/9/1905) aged 78, his wife Helen Robb died 1878 aged 57 (interred 29/10/1879)
Quite a few others on the same headstone – will type that out if you think this is the Helen you were after.
No other Helen McLaren’s recorded in the book.
I have included those buried in the same plots for the others as I have found with my own family the others in the same plots are connected in some way as well.

Carol,
Thanks for the information on Jane Charleston. It gives me more leads to follow. Yes, I'm sure that Janet Ramage Stewart died June 15, 1851. I believe that would have been after the 1851 census. We were told that she is buried at Newbattle but in an unmarked grave and since it was before 1855 I guess there is no record of the exact site. I had hoped that there might be some record of where unmarked graves were placed. My sister and I are planning to visit the cemetery when we travel to Scotland this year. The Jean Stewart that appears in the 1861 census would be Lewis Stewart's second wife that he married in March, 1852. She and his children from both marriages except for Jane Charleston followed him to the United States in 1869 and she and Lewis are buried in a cemetery in Iowa. Thank you for your help. It's is really appreciated.
Judy

Many thanks for this Carol, it has given me a few leads to get on with.
I think there is some 3rd Great Grandparents in there which has been really helpful. If you have time i would also welcome the remainder of the names on Thomas McLaren.
Many thanks for your time its appreciated

Hi Elaine
I have just started and very new to this. I am trying to find out where my sister is buried. I believe it is Newbattle Old Cemetery and was over 60 years ago. Where can I go to find this information. My mum is gravely ill and at 98 it is just a matter of time. My sister was called Mary Doyle and she died I believe a baby or toddler around early 1940. Can you point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Helen

Hi Elaine,
Sorry I can't find any record for a Mary Doyle in the Newbattle Book which covers the Newbattle Old Churchyard. I believe there is also another cemetery - maybe the local council will be able to help.

Hi
My ancestor, Martha Hislop, died Sep 7 1832 at Adamsrow, Newton, Midlothian, Scotland. Her husband was John Penman - he died after her. Would he be in the Newton index?

Thanks,
Eugene

Hi Carol
Thanks for the lookup. The John Penman can't be Martha's Husband as he was still living when she died in 1832. As for the Sommerville/Somerville clan I'll have to figure out who's who.
Eugene ;)

Carol. Thanks for the inf on the Drylie Hynd and Beveridge burials I appreciate the help. Kathi

Hi Carol. I grew up in Dalkeith and now live in Canada. I wish I had been interested in genealogy when I lived there... I have researched my Lockhart family and have an enormous amount of information. I'm sure there will be Lockharts buried there - a high percentage of the men were miners. Thanks in advance.

Dear all,
Monica has just pointed me here after I posted a message about burials in Cockpen and Newbattle.
I'm looking for anybody of the name CARSE (CASS, CARSS, CARS, occasionally with a K) in the 17th and 18th centuries, in Newbattle of Cockpen. Most common first name is Mark, but there were the usual others (John, Janet, George..) Also Isobella Nicolson who died around 1711, Marion Fowls/Foulis dying probably later, and any association of Carse and Douglas.
Please can anybody help?
Best and Happy New Year,
Jenny

I have details on death certs for John Penman Wilson (d1858), Christina Muir Wilson, d1859 and Robert Wilson d 1860. All say buried in Newbattle churchyard. Are there any details on gravestones for Wilson family?

Hi Elaine,
If offer still open I am trying to locate William SIMPSON b. abt 1730 and wife Marion LAING. The only child I know of is daughter Margaret who married James HUME in 1752. He was a schoolmaster at Lasswade. I would appreciate any knowledge of SIMPSON or LAING burials.
TIA Lyn

Hello
What a lovely offer, if you dont mind im looking for and have been for years, David young or williamson as it comes up sometimes parents. David died in Newton in 1849 from Asthma, informant being His son andrew young.
if he has a grave maybe there is others there named, his daughter margaret is also in cemetery at Newton. I believe David was 68 when he died, his wife was Marion Selkirk.....married in Duddingston.
Thank you

Have I already answered this one because your names are highlighted in my book? Sorry if this is a repeat. David Young he was buried July 1 1849, in Newton New grave yard, 185s3.
His wife Marion is buried in Lair 170s3. There is several Margaret's. One if Margaret Young, died aged 34 of dropsy, sister to Andrew Young. Buried Dec 2 1852 in Lair 170s2. There is most likely no stone. I've been to the Newton graveyards many times and only the wealthier could afford headstones. I personally have 100's of family members buried there and not one has a stone.

Hi Elaine,
Would be very grateful if you would do a look up for me for Peacocks in Newton and Newbattle for c 1785-1810 parents names were John Peacock and Rosanna Brown.I have found the births but having difficulty finding deaths.
I have many ancestors who died in Newbattle and would be very grateful if you could tell me where you bought your list .
Thanks.

Hi, I got the info for Rosy Brown in my own tree!
OPR death record:
DOD: 19th April 1842
DOB: 22nd April 1842
Name: Rosana Brown
Address: Easthouses, Newbattle
Informant: John Peacock, son
COD: water in chest (prob. pneumonia)
Age: 82 yrs
Let me look & see if I can find John's info. Which one of their children are you descended from?
A friend of mine has worked for the Lothians FHS for years and she actually transcribed the Newton death index so I was lucky to get copies of both that & the Newbattle index from her. However, I think they are now available from the website: http://www.lothiansfhs.org/node/277

Hi Elaine,
Thank you for the info. on Rosy Brown/Peacock -- I have all the children I think but have no
information on any of them except John Peacock and Janet Wilson -- my ggg grandparents.
Who is yours ?
Great to meet up with you.
suzilad
-
My connection isn't direct but the families were all intermingled. I haven't looked at that part of my tree for years, but now I find a dilemma. I've found 2 possible deaths for Rosy Brown/Peacock. Can you send me an email so I can share it with you and maybe you can figure it out.
Thanks
Elaine

there children are:
Barbra born 1760 - inveresk with musselburgh
Janet born 1761 - newton
Margaret born 1764 - newton
William born 1766 - newton
marjory born 1769 - newton
robert born 1771 - newton
jean born 1773 - newton
John born 1778 - newton
anything on them too would be great. Obviously the females may of married so those may not be found.
thanks

I looked all those up in the Newton index & there were none that matched the DOB etc. But then there are some individuals who's name is just listed and nothing else. There is also a huge chunk of burials missing between around 1800-1805 or so. If you have more information ie. were they a mining family, did they move to Newbattle & what the daughters married names were I might be able to help more. If you do please PM me. Thanks
-
Thanks, they didn't move to new battle as far as I am aware.
Parents John and Janet were inkeepers in hairlaw, Newton

Margaret Reid, died April 1766 in Newton, daughter of John Reid
Janet Reid, died March 1769, in Newton daughter of John Reid
John Reid, died Dec 12 1831 in Claybarns, father of John Reid
There are lots more but without more information, hard to tell if they are yours or not. Reid was a common name.
-
Thanks I will check those out
-
I believe the one gravestone on Plot A194 are my folks. -Thanks very much!
Would there be any record of a Rev. David Gilchrist (1721-1770) who may have died while at that charge?

Hello; Just new to RC. Seeking info from Burial Index for William Ramage d 1854 & his wife Jean (Jane) Irvine Ramage d 1860. Both death records state Newbattle Cemetery. Can anyone assist me with a look up? Thank you :-)
-
Sorry but I have the Newbattle New Graveyard Index and neither William or Jane are listed. With those dates I think they are probably in the old churchyard. I have no idea if those have been indexed yet.

Thank you for your time. I will keep searching as I am planning a visit there this year. :-)
-
The old cemetery is right next to the new one. But be careful. The ground in the old one is very unstable, most of the stones are unreadable and lying on the ground. Also unless they were wealthy there probably isn't a stone. They would just have been buried in an unmarked plot. So don't be disappointed if you don't find them. Best just to get the death record from Scotlandspeople. Or if you're going to Register House ask if they have an index for the old burial ground. Best of luck, Elaine
Thank you for your time. I will keep searching as I am planning a visit there this year. :-)

Looking to trace a headstone and Information of a James Stewart & Janet Renton.

Children: Jean, Marion, James, William, Adam, Elizabeth, Isabella, Margaret, Williamina.
They lived from Penicuik, Roslin, Lasswade, Stobhill.
(Albeit: I can only find a death with the name Janet Denholm, still working on seeing if the same person)
-
Hi Gavin,
If this is the correct couple, they are buried in Lair 9/29. Newbattle Old Churchyard.
James Stewart, aged 70, Newbyres, interred 19/07/1882. Harold P. Stewart. aged 1. Gorebridge, interred 11.05/1898. Janet Stewart, aged 78, Hunterfield, interred 6/02/1900. Ellen R. Stewart, aged 3, Hunterfield, interred 5/11/1904.

Thank You Elaine, apologies for the very late reply, I don't seem to get a massage from rootschat to my emails. This is indeed the grave of my 3rd Great Grandparents. When lockdown is over i am going to visit as I'd like to pay my respects and take photo of their headstone.
Is it possible to get a copy of the Index. I'd like to check for any other members. My email is *, if not, thanks for your trouble, so appreciated.

I am looking for a grave from 1883 he died a nearby at 7 Lothian Road at the home of his sister in law Hellen Hay.
Are there any graves for Hays or Duncans in either graveyard?
-
The Newton burials are only up to 1854. There are no Hays in Newbattle but many Duncans. Need more info, like the first name?
-
James Duncan 1850-1883
-
Newbattle graveyard
Plot 25/11
James Duncan, aged 32, Lothian Bridge, interred 18/9/1883
He is in the same grave as Catherine Cunningham, aged 65, Old Blinkbonny, interred 14/09/1873
Also 5 Liddle children, & Thomas Liddle aged 78; Elspit Duncan, age 88, Edinburgh, interred 16/01/1940
-
thank you Elaine this solves a mystery and asks more...
I do not know who the cunninghams are?
Is there a gravestone?
-
Yes there is - or was once. It was a large one with a plinth taking up 2 spaces. Also forgot to mention I did find Hays in the index.
25/10 is recorded as the plinth:
Sacred to the memory of Janet Burnside, wife of Thomas Liddle who died at Newtongrange, 27 Nov. 1891 aged 68 yrs. Thomas Liddle, Newtongrange, who died 10 Nov 1894, aged 68 years.
Robert Hay, aged 3m, interred 13/9/1886
Liddle, stillborn, Newtongrange, interred 22/11/1890
Mary Ann Liddle, aged 50, Crawlees, interred 13/5/1910
Pole, stillborn, Abbeyland, interred 27/7/1914
Thomas Liddle, aged 71, Crawlees, interred 24/10/1931
In memory of William Liddle, who died at Hunterfield, 25th February, 1858, aged 48 years
and of Helen Lindsay his wife who died 6th March 1864 aged 55 years.
The rest is the info I gave you previously.
Many of my own family are buried there including my 2nd great-grandparents. In the same plot as them are 3 of my gr/grandfather's cousin's wives, the child of one of the wives and a male cousin. So my bet is that James Duncan was inter-related to the Liddle's in some way.
-
Thank you for your help.
Is the plinth still there?
I have found out a lot more now but can I ask for a bit more information?
I have worked out that my great-grandmother Elspeth Andersons's sister Hellen Hay nee Anderson was a servant to Margaret Craig at Craigash and her husband James hay was the mills joiner. They moved to New Monkland when the paper mil l moved there. However another of the Andersons also moved to Newbattle then vanished are there any Anderson graves in the churchyard?
My grandad died at 7 Lothian Bridge which on the census is Craigash. Are there any photos of the house?
-
I visited the Newbattle Old Cemetery recently, but without being able to find my family plot and headstone. I wrote to Midlothian Council who replied with a copy of the layout by plots. I've attached a PDF file of the layout to help people potential locate plots if you know the plot number.
When I visited Newbattle and Lasswade I took some random pictures, uploaded then to find-a-grave with a little research. I also found out about neighbouring plots to my James Stewart and have added them also with some research. I hope to revisit and take much much more pictures and upload them to Find a Grave which I use because it freely available with minimal ads and easy to use.
I am still trying to see if any other of my Stewart Family are in this cemetery.
My unaccounted for Family
Jane Stewart (b.1839 Penicuik) entry in 1841 census (suspect died before 1851)
Marion Stewart (b.abt 1841 Lasswade - 1913 Colinton, Edinburgh) married James McDougal
James Stewart (b.1843 Newton Village) entry in 1851 census only
Janet Stewart (b.abt 1845 Lasswade) entry in 1851 census only
William Stewart (b.abt 1848 Roslin) entry 1851 & 1861 only
Adam Stewart (b.abt 1850 Roslin - d.1925 Lasswade) married Helen Reid
Elizabeth Stewart (b.abt 1853 Lasswade) entry 1861 & 1881 only (married Griffin but not UK records)
Isabella Stewart (b.1856 Lasswade - 1887 Dalmeny, near Queensferry)
Margaret Stewart (b.1862 Lasswade) Suspect she married a John Murray Leishman both died at Errol
Jessie Williamina Stewart (b. 1866 Lasswade - d.1907 St George Edinburgh) spinster
Elizabeth Griffin nče Stewart is someone I really want to find out more about but have hit a road block. She had a daughter Eliza (1879 Stobhill - 1882 Borthwick) and a son Charles (1877 Stobhill - 1945 Edinburgh) he married a Isabella Adams.

I visited the Newbattle Old Cemetery recently, but without being able to find my family plot and headstone. I wrote to Midlothian Council who replied with a copy of the layout by plots. I've attached a PDF file of the layout to help people potential locate plots if you know the plot number.
When I visited Newbattle and Lasswade I took some random pictures, uploaded then to find-a-grave with a little research. I also found out about neighbouring plots to my James Stewart and have added them also with some research. I hope to revisit and take much much more pictures and upload them to Find a Grave which I use because it freely available with minimal ads and easy to use.
I am still trying to see if any other of my Stewart Family are in this cemetery.
My unaccounted for Family
Jane Stewart (b.1839 Penicuik) entry in 1841 census (suspect died before 1851)
Marion Stewart (b.abt 1841 Lasswade - 1913 Colinton, Edinburgh) married James McDougal
James Stewart (b.1843 Newton Village) entry in 1851 census only
Janet Stewart (b.abt 1845 Lasswade) entry in 1851 census only
William Stewart (b.abt 1848 Roslin) entry 1851 & 1861 only
Adam Stewart (b.abt 1850 Roslin - d.1925 Lasswade) married Helen Reid
Elizabeth Stewart (b.abt 1853 Lasswade) entry 1861 & 1881 only (married Griffin but not UK records)
Isabella Stewart (b.1856 Lasswade - 1887 Dalmeny, near Queensferry)
Margaret Stewart (b.1862 Lasswade) Suspect she married a John Murray Leishman both died at Errol
Jessie Williamina Stewart (b. 1866 Lasswade - d.1907 St George Edinburgh) spinster
Elizabeth Griffin nče Stewart is someone I really want to find out more about but have hit a road block. She had a daughter Eliza (1879 Stobhill - 1882 Borthwick) and a son Charles (1877 Stobhill - 1945 Edinburgh) he married a Isabella Adams.

i'd appreciate a lookup in the Newbattle burial index for any Russels or Moffat. I saw a date on Ancestry that suggested that William Russel died in Newbattle in 1766 with no source. William Russel married Christian Moffat in 1750 and had a large family in Newbattle.
Thanks
