Love to see any Craig records. I have found a James Craig and Jean Broun. He is listed in 1749/58 as 'shoemaker of Capelton'
Thanks
-
There are no stones with Craig/Brown combination, sorry. Perhaps if you listed later generations (with maiden surnames) there may be a family plot with other names there.
-
I notice there are two Craig surnames. Could I have those?
As far as I can see 'my' James Craig died there in 1796 and his son and daughter-in-law William and Marion (Merrylies) CRAIG in 1780's/90/s
Thank you
-
Here is the first of the two Craig stones.
-
The second Craig stone.
-
I would think that this family are connected with mine because there are other Alexander's in the family. Will see if I'm in luck and they are descended from a sibling for James Craig (c 1725-1796). Hoping so.

Hi.Love to see Hamilton Crawford Headstone.Have Robert Hamilton marrying Margaret Crawford and have son Hugh born in Shawton.Thanks for your help.Regards Keith.
-
Hi Keith, this may or may not be the same family, Hamilton is the most popular name in that area of Lanarkshire. This could be a younger generation perhaps? There are 2 stones for this family, I'll send them both.
-
Thankyou so much for your reply and for the gravestone photos.I am really so grateful.I thought they may have been the game changer.Unfortunately not,but still very interesting and really appreciate the effort.Thanks again,regards Keith.

Hello...and Happy New Year !!
I would be very interested to see the headstone at Chapelton, with the names Shearer, Park and Campbell. I recently visited Glassford Cemetery but could not find anything relative to my tree. I hadn't been aware that there is also a Burial Ground at Chapelton. My ancestors were Gavin Shearer (c1800 - c1885 ) and his wife Catherine Park (c1824 - c1890).
Thanking you in advance :)

Hello Isobel, Happy New Year and welcome to Rootschat.
Beginners luck - you have a gravestone with two pre-1855 dates of birth!
-
Oh my goodness, what a quick response !! I'm absolutely delighted ! Thank you so much. I'll certainly be addressing this site again probably not too far into the future :))

Hi
I would be very interested to see the photo of the Fergus, Bulloch, Hamilton stones. You are wonderful providing this service!
-
There are 2 stones on this plot, the newer one, erected in 1909, replaces the one erected in 1826.
The newer one is easy to read. The older one is badly eroded and this is my version of it -
"1826 This stone was erected by Angus Fergus in Shawton and Agness Bulloch his wife and is the burial place of their family.
(unreadable Christian name) Fergus died (. . . ) October 1815 aged (4) months.
John Fergus died 13th March 1821 aged 4 months.
Willm Fergus died 28th April 1825 aged 6 (years)".
That's the best I can make of it.

Thanks for the pictures they are great. Not the Fergus I was hoping for but you never know how they may fit in somewhere down the track! Thanks again.
