OK
I'll remove the links
Send Chrissyann the images

Thanks.   I appreciate that.  I know it was all well intended.
In the end she may just ask that I post them here anyway.  We shall see.

Thanks.
I was actually trying to give the original poster the option of seeing them without posting to the public forum.

Hi there.
Happy to send them to you.  Send me a PM with your email address and I'll get them to you.

I hope to visit the cemetery in the near future as I have a list of lairs to try and locate myself, tho sadly many headstones have long since been removed.

I had a note of this to look when next in Lambhill Cemetery, but while searching for something else I found the lair record and burial details for the lair which gives details of who else is interred there.
I know this is an old post, but if you do pick it up, let me know if you would like the images.

Lanarkshire / Re: Glasgow schools 1945 - 1955

Here is a wee snippet I found …

"secondary schools were divided into three-year junior secondary schools, leading to no qualifications, and the five year senior secondary schools, leading to the leaving certificate and university entrance."

I am nor sure if it was standard practice, but I know that some junior secondary schools had a selection process at the end of second year whereby the high performing pupils were transferred to senior high for the remainder of their school life and so could go on to do highers etc

St Gerard's was a senior secondary, but not sure about St George's.   If you contact the Archivist at the Mitchell library in Glasgow they have a wealth of info and will be able to tell you.  If you have access to the Mitchell they also have registers etc for many schools.

Lanarkshire / Re: Map of St Kentigern's Cemetery, 951 Balmore Road, Glasgow please

Hi,
The records are not indexed so there is no search facility as such.  However, if you have a date, or even a year for a death it's actually quite easy to locate.   Simply study the description of each film in the catalog summary  here https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1321853?availability=Family%20History%20Library and determine which film it will be on.   Some films are daily burial records and some are Lair registers that show all burials in that lair.  Start with the daily interments.   If you view the film using the "multiple image " option ( at left hand side of page ),  you will see occasional black separators, these give the contents of the following section of the film which is usually split into groups of years, so you can quickly jump through say 50 / 100 pages at a time to find the section and locate the year and the record within the year.  They are in chronological order.     Remember these are BURIAL dates, so you need to check a few days beyond the date of death or even more.  For example, I had an uncle killed in action in WW2, so it was 4 weeks later before his body was repatriated for burial.

Sorry if that seems like "teaching granny to suck eggs ".      Hope it helps, but if you get stuck PM me and I'll see if I can help.

The Common Room / Re: Free Genealogy Course from Future Learn
« on: Thursday 14 February 19 15:31 GMT (UK)  »
I did this course last Nov / Dec.   It's aimed at all levels of knowledge and experience so some will get more from it than others.  I certainly got some very helpful ideas from the content but particularly from the exchanges with other students.   You will also get lots of useful links to online resources.
