Hi Jess

Great offer .... I am a direct descendant of the Harkness family who have a few mentions in the graveyard (image attached..?), I really need to visit again when the Heritage centre is open.

But I do not have any info re the demise of William Harkness (husband of and Janet Callan who died 1823) he was the father of Thomas, from the attached image.

Any info welcome.

Hi Gillian

I too enjoyed many a football match down the 'Naitchie',  and have more recently been through on a mountain bike, it has indeed, in my opinion, been neglected by the local authority to the point where it has been allowed to return to it's natural state..!!

I am afraid that I can't quite remember the house or any statue.

I guess the old railway line (which is now a footpath) was there to support the mining industry.

Anyway best of luck getting the council to take on the Nature trail, but I fear that in the current financial climate it may be well down the list, and your best bet may well be any conditions included in the bequeathment of the land.

If you have a knight of the realm on board that may help....  ;)

Alan Knightshift worker as opposed to Knight...!! 


ps I don't think the Watson fountain was a memorial, understood it was a gift to the people of Hamilton by Sir John Watson

Hi Roecoyle

If you follow the above link to the National Archives then take the link named electronic catalouge then click on Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) there is a search facility which has some brief index info on some indictments and other cases held at the archive ....I found my great gran had got two months for an acid attack on her soon to be husband....!!!!

It, as ever, depends on how unusal the name you are looking for .....

Best of luck

Thanks for responding

I have checked the 1901 census and could only find a Scollion (Patrick)...
