Lanarkshire / Re: Matthew Gardner & Margaret Martin from Cambusnethan
« on: Wednesday 31 March 21 14:46 BST (UK)  »
Hi Sage,
Thank you for your thoughtful reply.  Yes, there is no baptismal entry for Matthew but he is my 3G-grandfather.

I have not found anything in the newspapers around the time of his death.  I did find a small advertisement in the 1840s where he is listed as the contact for the rental of a property connected with the Camis Eskan estate in Cardross where he was acting overseer.

I am not actually convinced that Matthew is buried in Cambusnethan.  The stone in the graveyard was erected by his son, Rev. Alexander Gardner minister in Brechin, Scotland.  The inscription says it is a memorial and I am unclear if that means that Matthew may be buried elsewhere.

Matthew first married Euphemia Dalziel in Cambusnethan.  I have never been able to find her baptismal entry and she died circa 1847 so there is no civil death registration.  Hence, I have never been able to determine her parents.

I have been to the heritage center in Motherwell but I think I will try again after this pandemic situation subsides somewhat.

Thanks again for your thoughtful comments - much appreciated!

David

Lanarkshire / Matthew Gardner & Margaret Martin from Cambusnethan
« on: Saturday 20 March 21 23:03 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to trace the parents of Matthew Gardner & Margaret Martin.

The baptismal entries for their children from Cambusnethan reads:

  • James Gairdner son to Mathew Gairdner in the parish of Dalziel was born January 1st and Baptized January 13th 1775 being their first Child

    Isobel Gairdner Daughter to Archibald Gairdner in the parish of Dalziel and Margaret Martine his spouse was born on the 25 of Feby & Baptd on the 2d of March 1777 being their 2d Child

    Elisabeth Gairdner Daughter to Mathew Gairdner in Wishawtown and Margaret Martine his spouse was born on the 25th and Baptized on the 29th  of Feby 1779 being their 3d Child.

    Margaret Gairdner Daughter to Mathew Gairdner at Wishawtown and Margaret Martine his spouse was born on the 12th & Baptd on the 17th of Septr 1780 their [blank]

    Alexr Gairdner Son to Mathew Gairdner at Wishawtown and Margaret Martine his spouse, was born on the 4th  and Baptized on the 11th  of August 1782 being their 5th Child.

    Alexander Gardener Son to Mathew Gardener at Wishawtown and Margaret Martine his spouse was born on the 25th March and Baptd on the 6th April 1789 being their 8th Child.

    Robert Gardener son to Mathew Gardener at Wishawtown & Margaret Martine his spouse, was born 17th Augt & Baptd 4th Septr 1791 their 9th child

    Agnes Gardener Daur to Mathew Gardener at Wishawtown & Margt Martine his spouse was born on the 25th Octr & Baptd  8th Novr 1795.

I cannot find either Mathew Gardner nor Margaret Martin in the 1841 census or listed amongst the monumental inscriptions for the Cambusnethan graveyard.

Please contact me if you are related to this couple or have any suggestions to overcome this brick wall.

Thanks,
David

Good Morning "Forfarian",

The index to the register is attached to a message on page 2 of this thread.  I took a quick look without any luck but perhaps I missed something.....

Hi Trish,

Unfortunately, the recording of death certificates in Ontario began in 1869.

I feel that the linkage is correct but I would like some further evidence but I may have to be content with the little that we know.

Thanks!

Trish,

Thank you for all the information.

I wish that I had a way to confirm that the George Banyard who died in Canada is the same George Banyard in East Dereham.  I have just seen too may instances where someone has made the wrong link back to the UK only to spend countless hours tracing the wrong family.

Regards,

David

Norfolk / Banyard
« on: Saturday 27 October 12 10:36 BST (UK)  »
Good Morning,

I am trying to help a friend trace his Banyard ancestors back to England.

What we know:
George Banyard's gravestone from Bethel Cemetery, Claremont, Ontario, Canada reads:
GEO. BANYARD SR.
DIED
NOV.24, 1867
AGED 49 Y'RS 11 MOS

From the 1861 census in Pickering County, Ontario, Canada
George Banyard, age 40, born England, occupation tailor

From the gravestone, we estimate George's birth about Dec. 1817.  The best fit that we have found is George Banyard, son of Matthias Banyard and Mary Wigg born 13 Dec 1817 in East Dereham, Norfolk.  There is another George Banyard, son of Charles Banyard and Frances Bradfield born 10 Dec 1817 also in East Dereham but our research shows that this George Banyard died 21 Apr 1840 in East Dereham.

We have searched all available Banyard wills from this area hoping to find a mention of a George Banyard in Canada without success.

We are struggling to prove (or disprove) the link between the George Banyard who died in Canada to the George Banyard born in East Dereham.

Are there any living male Banyards from this area?  We could propose a Y-chromosone DNA test to see if we are heading down the correct path.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Lanarkshire / Larkhall - Secession Churches - baptism & marriage registers
« on: Sunday 05 August 12 08:08 BST (UK)  »
Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know of any existing baptism or marriage registers for secession churches in the Larkhall area before 1855?

The Larkhall entry from GENUKI states:

Larkhall has a post office, with money order, savings bank, and telegraph departments, a branch of the Union Bank, a gaswork, a quoad sacra parish church (1835), renovated and extended in 1889, a Free church, a U.P. church (1836), an Evangelical Union chapel (1876), St Mary's Roman Catholic church (1872), a public library, baths, public halls, bowling club, cemetery, etc.

I have searched the catalogue at the National Archives of Scotland without success.

Thanks!

David

G'day David,

Thank you for the kind offer.

Are you able to locate an entry for John Miller born 1849-52, son of James Miller?

Cheers,
John

Hi John,
Sorry - I checked both the Wishaw Relief Church and Bonkle United Presbyterian but could not find the baptism entry for John Miller.

Regards,

David
