m very curious about the large North St Cemetery in Anderston - I wonder who owned/managed it, what demoninations and areas it served, when the last burials took place?   What I know  from personal knowledge - the cemetery gates were on the east side of North St,  about 100 yards from where North St met Argyle St.
What I found with net searches - first recorded burial was in 1821, and when the Anderston Renewals happened in the 1960s,  the remains in the cemetery were re-interred, one version says in Daldowie Cemetery, another version says the remains were dealt with in the same manner as the remains in the churchyard of Anderson Old, Heddle Place, Anderston, moved to Linn cemetery.  Another version says only two headstones/memorials were moved from North St Cemetery to Linn.
Another factor is that there was a third cemetery in Cheapside St, Anderston.
Very little on the net about North St Cemetery - is it another Grahamston?
Anyone got any information, even corrections to the above?

Hi Jim,
yes, I'm in touch with Martin and Thomas, cheers.   The gedcom in question is Martin's.  There are many of us all researching the same families, I believe the first submissions to LDS were made about 1900.   
I take your point about the use of "Father".
What I'm trying to prove is that Fr McKeever's first name was NOT Bernard.
I'll explain -
My ggggrandfather John Halliday of Londonderry  married Margaret Rogan in Strabane around 1800 in Strabane.   Their son Abraham christened a son "Francis Rogan Halliday".
There was an eminent doctor Francis Rogan, born 1787 in Strabane whose father was Bernard Rogan.
We do not know anything about John Halliday (Holliday) or Margaret Rogan before their marriage, but searches quite frequently throw up the Halliday medical family from that area.
You've put in so much hard work, you deserve an explanation of where I'm going with this.
All supposition at the moment.
Thanks
Peter

Hi Christopher
Bernard McKeever Halliday was my uncle.   The information I posted appears to be verbal family history and is an extract from his grandson's gedcom.   The movements of the family up till my grandmother's marriage in Glasgow in 1894 are completely unknown. 
The gedcom is all we have up till then, and the order of their movements we can only guess at.

re Bernard McKeever Halliday, born 1 Mar 1901 in 75 Canmore St Belfast.
Family history says of his mother -
"her parents went to US
she was born in US
family came back to Belfast
came to Glasgow
lived in Shankhill Road (Note - Canmore St intersects with Shankill Rd)
Mrs Murphy had priest in who delivered Bernard
the priest's name was Father McKeever"
 
I'm trying to trace Fr McKeever - to determine if his first name was Bernard - if it's not, then the name Bernard would send me firmly in another direction.

I contacted St Malachy's and The Catholic Communication Office in Belfast , there is a Fr McKeever who was in St Malachy's in  Belfast, but he was ordained in 1903.  I thought perhaps a trainee priest might be doing pastoral work, and be referred to as "Father"?  Or perhaps a trainee priest visiting relatives in the area?
CCO thought perhaps Fr McKeever might not have been Catholic, but another denomination.
I've searched  directories, even looked for Mrs Murphy in Canmore St, nothing!  Even wondered if Ballymurphy could have been mistaken for Mrs Murphy?

I need advice on how to proceed next.
