Hi Tricia, the parish churchyard of Hamilton was closed for any further burials by order of the town council on 30th November 1861. So, if your ancestors died after that date they will not be there.thanks Lodger.
Hi,Hi .
I'm looking to find if there is a grave/inscription at Hamilton Old Parish graveyard for my ancestors John Frame and his wife Janet Smellie (married 1797).
Thanks, J
Sancti may have a photograph to match this inscription -Thanks so much for that. Perfect. If anyone else has MOREs (or soundex) Lanarkshire I wold be happy to hear. I am doing YDNA for MORE family Scotland
"James More died 1st May 1801 aged (.)7 years. Margaret Hamilton his spouse died .............. (eroded) Also this is the burying place of his son James".
Not much to go on I'm afraid and none of the other names match with any of the inscriptions I have.
Thank you for re-editing for meLooking for John Gordon in Caen late 1700s

By posting about me being as far as I can go with my family of Gordon's that
someone else up there in Scotland might be searching the same family too and could give me some help
