Lanarkshire / Old Globe Cemetery, Motherwell
« on: Monday 30 September 13 07:35 BST (UK)  »
I have recently moved house, and have now found that I can walk (20mins) to cemetery. Grandson loves walk too.!!

I know in the past that people have shown an interest in relatives interred here. Sadly, a large number of headstones have fallen, and, hence, cannot be read.

but I am more than happy to visit and take more photos of the general area, and do a wee bit of looking for names.

Just got new pc...hence why I have been away for a while.. sorry!!

Regards

Gail

I remember there was a thread a while back, regarding this cemetery. I have, at long last found it!

I have a couple of pics of stones that may be of interest. I plan another visit, as it is about 20 minutes walk from my new house.

If anyone has a surname that they know is buried here, let me know, and I will try my best to locate, and take a photo..if possible.

Cheers

Gail. :)

Thanks Sancti.

That's them on the 1851 census, at Wellington Street.

I had looked at the birth for Agnes, born 1850. But Maria is given as "Smith", not White.

And I don't have the family as being RC either. Another strange one!!

Cheers :)

Thank you both, Elaine and Nell.

I do indeed have birth entries for William and Maria's other chidren, born after 1855.

I have tried looking for pre 1855 birth/baptisms, using both Coventry and White as surnames, but have drawn a blank!

Thanks again for your help.

I am hoping that one of you learned RootsChatters can help me out.

I have tried, in vain, to find the birth entries for both my gtx3 grandfather, and his older sister.

I am looking for the births of both William Coventry,c 1851/52, and his sister Anne/Agnes Coventry, c 1849/50.

Using census entries, I have the family living in Gorbals, 1851, and Port Glasgow, 1861.

I have used these areas, initially, in finding birth entries. The parents of William and Anne are William and Maria (nee White) Coventry. Although married in Glasgow, William and Maria were born in Ireland.

Any ideas as to where else to look, besides ScotlandsPeople, would be appreciated.

Also, can anyone confirm, did all births have to be registered at this time..

Many thanks.

Thanks Forfarian, for confirming what I was thinking.

I have a thing about getting pronunciation correct.!!

Thanks for replying Isabel.

Your pronunciation is the way I was swaying towards.

Happy I now know the emphasis is on the central "al"

Portybelle.

Thankyou for your reply.

I do know the pronunciations for Balqhidder and Killin, but thanks for adding them. I am interested to read that you pronounce the last syllabil of Breadalbane as "ay". I was more thinking towards being either silent.

Hello fellow Rootschatters.

Probably a silly random request, but looking for correct pronunciation of Breadalbane!

Visiting Balqhidder and Killin recently, I see this area often referred to. Curious as to whether emphasis is on Bread or Albane!

Many thanks.

Gail
