Lanarkshire / Re: Seeking assistance King Family Motherwell
« on: Sunday 12 May 24 12:50 BST (UK)  »
Hi Judi, sorry I didn't answer before now. In short, I cannot shed any light on your (in my opinion) quite complicated query. All I can say is, King in Milntown and King in Motherwell Mill would have been the same family, (brothers, uncle & nephew?)  Also King in Fulwood would probably have been a relation, although possibly in Bothwell parish, Fulwood is just across the river Calder from Motherwell mill.
The Alexander King who was married to Marion Boyce was known as "Moleskin" King, he and his wife are also buried in Dalziel old burial ground but not with the rest of the family.

Hi crab2,

Sorry, I don't have anything else I can add to this, I see the "A. Young" in the Upper Ward book but that's as far as my information goes!
Andrew is not listed in the Carnwath Burial Register (1826 - Dec 1854) which makes me think he may not have been buried in that parish.

Ard, here's what I found, it makes sad reading.

HENRY McPHAIL, Wishaw, aged 8 years.
Parents - Henry McPhail & Agnes Lafferty.
Interred in common ground, 22nd November 1862.

WILLIAM McPHAIL, Wishaw, aged 3 years.
Parents - Henry McPhail & Agnes Lafferty.
Interred in common ground, 3rd December 1862.

AGNES McPHAIL, housewife, Wishaw, aged 32 years, married.
Parents - William Lafferty & Margaret Blair.
Interred in common ground, 17th December 1862.

SARAH McPHAIL, Wishaw, aged 6 months.
Parents - George McPhail & Isabella Wyper.
Interred in common ground, 3rd October 1876.

HENRY McPHAIL, labourer, Wishaw, aged 57 years, widower.
Parents - Archibald McPhail & Margaret Crichton.
Interred in common ground, 30th March 1878.

MARION McPHAIL, Wishaw, aged 2 years.
Parents - George McPhail & Isabella Wyper.
Interred in E56, 25th November 1893.

ARCHIBALD McPHAIL, tailor, Wishaw, aged 33 years, married.
Parents - Henry McPhail & Nancy Lafferty.
Interred in E55, 7th August 1896.

ISABELLA W. McPHAIL, Wishaw, aged 1 year.
Parents - Matthew McPhail & Marion Ballantyne.
Interred in E56, 28th April 1900.

E55 & 56 must be a double plot, so it's all the one family.

It may be some consolation to know that little Henry, William and their mother Agnes who died within the space of 25 days of each other, are all interred in the same common grave, number 138.

I will go to the cemetery and check if there is a stone at E55 & 56.

Hi Ard, It seems you could be right, according to Scotlandspeople, she died in the Kelvin registration district of Glasgow, registered under both Muirhead and McPhail with her mms Rafferty, not Lafferty.
But that's close enough I would say?
I'll see if I can find anything about her parents in the Cambusnethan records.

Teya,

I've spent the whole day reorganising the pictures I have for Cambusnethan churchyard, some were taken over 10 years ago and were scattered all over my p.c. in various files. I will be issuing a new, revised list very soon.
In the process today, I found this picture and can match it to a transcription made back in 1982.
you will see how time has eroded the inscription since then.

The transcription from 1982 reads -

"Erected by Robert Douglas to the memory of John Douglas his son who died 10th May 18(52) aged 1 month. Charlotte Brunt his spouse who died 28th March 1854 aged 25 years. Christina Douglas his daughter who died 4th April (1857) aged (7) years".

Hi Bella,

The stone for Gardner, McDonald and Haddow.

James Gardner died 4th November 1893 aged 79 years. His wife Janet McDonald died 25th June 1898 aged 62 years. Daughters Janet & Elizabeth died in infancy. Grandson Sandy Haddow died 1st March 1889 aged 13 months.
Ring any bells? Sandy = Alexander.

Isabella's infant daughter Elizabeth Douglas Muirhead also died in 1878, (MUIRHEAD ELIZABETH DOUGLAS, 0 (mother's ms HAMILTON) F 1878 628 / 244 CAMBUSNETHAN) so both mother and daughter died the same year - perhaps they were even buried at the same time and in the record the names of Isabella and Elizabeth were accidentally were conflated to create a single name!)
[/quote]

ELIZABETH D. MUIRHEAD, child, Wishaw,  aged 6 months.
Parents - David Muirhead & Isabella T. Hamilton.
Interred in the old churchyard on 30th July 1878.

I did see this entry but the mother's name I was looking for was Elizabeth, so I discounted it! Sorry.
Isabella was buried 11th February 1878, so she probably died during or shortly after the birth.

Hi Bella,

The 1st query, White.
According to the Plot Book, it was owned by William White and Joseph Clark.
Interred in the plot are the names Clark and Armstrong.
Does this ring any bells?
The stone inscription reads -
"1854 Erected by William White in memory of his brother Robert......" rest has worn away, sorry.
