Hi Gail,

I'm pleased you've found a new stomping ground.  :) If you should come across any 'INGLIS' headstones I would be most interested.

Thanks also to Colin for taking the time out to take some 'happy snaps'...it's really very sad that this cemetery is so unkempt, unloved and allowed to be desecrated in this way.  I imagine that it was quite a stately and dignified place to inter the dearly departed in its day and I suppose being off the beaten track has quite a bit to do with it's now dilapidated state.   ::)

Great to see the weather's okay and you can get out and about for a stroll in Motherwell!

Sage.

Have photo of Inglis & Clark with Jessie Inglis died 18th Jan 1942.  Stone was erected by Bessie Inglis

Hi,
I am descended from Caroline Findlater who married Charles Smith. Their son William died in 1858 & the oldest girls Margaret & Mary emigrated in 1862 to Australia. Charles died in early Feb 1864 & Caroline & the other 2 girls Jane & Annie emigrated to Australia in lat Feb.  They all seems to have lived in Rockhampton for a while.
All of the Australian records for Caroline have her maiden name as Findlay.
I'd love more info on the Findlater family.
Regards
Naomi


Hello

my husband is descended from Caroline's brother Alexander Findlater.

Hi B J Peak,
George Nelson and Fanny Ann Dunlop are my great-grandparents. I'm descended from their daughter Annie; my paternal grandmother. I was just saying to my father [their grandson] last week that we don't know much about George & Fanny Ann's descendants. We know that Margaret  was married twice & died 7/8/1939; that David died at Passchendaele on that infamous day of 12/10/17; that Fanny Ann married Archie Gilmore, who had two children who never married; that I haven't researched the families of Samuel [born 1879], George [1885], & John [1892].
Our Coleraine families are Nelson, Dunlop, Blair & Johnston.
So, who are you descned from?
Regards,
Hugh Sutherland
  Hi I am descended from Joseph Nelson; David's brother.

Marriage: 27 July 1876 Moneydig Presbyterian Church, George Nelson, farmer, Gortnamoyagh, son of David Nelson, farmer, to Fanny Anne Dunlop, Claragh, daughter of Samuel Dunlop, farmer. Witnesses: Margaret Blair, Andrew Wilson.

A George Nelson was witness to marriage of Alex Chambers & Mary Anne Nelson of Gortnamoyagh, daughter of David Nelson, 2 Mar.1876 at First Garvagh Presbyterian Church- other witness Nancy Chambers.

Unfortunately there's a large gap in 1st Garvagh baptisms during the period George Nelson was born.

I believe Mary Ann Nelson is the grandaughter of David Nelson who married Jane Agnes Dobbin and she married Alec Chambers 2 Mar 1876.

Hi Jean

A David Nelson, farmer, of Gortnamoyagh had a son George who married Fanny Ann Dunlop at Moneydig Presbyterian Church on 27 Jul 1876.  They left Clyde on the "Oamaru" on 23 Sep 1876 and arrived in Otago, New Zealand on 16 Dec 1876.  If he is part of the family you are researching I would like to swap my New Zealand information for your Irish information.

Hi BJ

Not sure where George fits in but it would be interesting to find out.  I've ony working on the Bann Valley records will go and have another look.

Hi

Looking for ancestors I recently visited the Globe Cemetery in Motherwell, although I didn't find what I was looking for I took pictures of some of the remaining headstones and transcriptions.  I'll make a list and if anyone is interested would post it on the site or send it to them personally.

Hi, I have tried to find the Globe Cemetery a couple of times, but could not find it. I can see it on the old maps but could not find access.  I know children of my ancestors are buried there, and as they lived at Old Logans and Roman Rd, its possible some of the parents are there. Their name was Muircroft/Moorcroft. According to the council webpages the cemetery is closed?. Can you help, Thanks.

sorry I didn't have info on Muircroft most of the headstones are lying flat for safety.
