Cambusnethan Cemetery Grave Search - Part 1

[Lodger]

Hi Mary, I can't tell you anything else about these people, sorry.  Don't know how they would go about changing a name in those days, it would be fairly easy to do I think, it still is.

Hi Heather, I didn't see your entry from the 4th Sept, sorry.
The records for most of 1906 are missing, so no luck there.

Parents - William Russell and Janet Littlejohn.

The following 4 people are all interred in lair 447 section D.

Next there is -

Hi Lodger

Thanks for your reply.

Don`t want to be a pest but could you do a double check on the info I gave you regarding the name Ferguson. Has it be transcribed as Ferguson and should have been Toryusen. After all the name Torjusen and Salvesen were on the stone for George C Ferguson.

Have found several children, siblings to George C. born  between 1902 and 1912 and they all had surname Toryusen, likewise George C. on his birth and death.

Hope it`s not too much trouble for you. I really appreciate the help you have given me in the past.

Cheers.

Mary

Hi Mary, I only have the transcriptions, so I don't know if it has been transcribed wrongly or not. But as this work was all double-checked, I'd think it was right.

In lair 1414 section E are the following -

AASINE TORGESEN.  Newmains, aged 69 years, widow.
Parents - Salve Salvesen and Asker Aaensen.
Interred 26 Oct 1910.

GEORGE C FERGUSON.  Newmains, aged 15 months.
Parents - William Ferguson and Jeanie Craig.
Interred 25 Sept 1913.

This is only a record of burials, it doesn't give a reason why people were in the same grave or why they changed their name.
Perhaps you should contact the cemeteries office in Bellshill and ask who owned the lair, that may give you a lead.

Hi Lodger.

Thanks so much for checking this out for me. Ivč been doing a bit of digging since I posted and am sure it`s a transcripion error. Ivč been following the family and have found they were using Toryusen right up to 1940.

I have the birth 1912 and death, 1913 of George C. and it was reg. as Toryusen.

Thanks ever so much for your help. It`s good to get things cleared up.

Cheers.

Hi Lodger,

As always, you've given me a little more information to gnash my teeth on.  Thanks once again for your efforts...brilliant!

Cheers,

Heather.

Jen Clark are you still with us?  I've been studying the new marriage index from ScotsPeople for the Gibb clan and lo and behold I found a marriage for Christina McIntyre F Gibb to Robert Gray Gibb in Cambusnethan in 1955!
I just wondered if you had knowledge of this. 

Christina's bros died in 1949 and her parents both died in 1950 so it appears she tied the knot late in life.  She would have been 59 years old.  Any idea who Robt Gray Gibb was?  Would love to hear your thoughts on this one.

Cheers,

Heather.

Hi Lodger,
I've found your messages to others re help in finding graves in Cambusnethan and wondered if you could help me when you have time please?
My husband is almost sure his grandparents' grave is in Cambusnethan cemetery, but does not know who else may be in it, or even if he's right. His father and two brothers are buried there and he knows exactly where that grave is but he has never seen the grandparents' grave. We live in England so it's not easy to get there ourselves and I have not had a response from the cemetery people.
The names are PETER HOEY, died October 6th 1930 in Craigneuk - he was 53 years old, and ROSE HOEY nee McLUSKEY who died on April 29th 1957 in Craigneuk aged 76.
There may also be earlier burials in the same plot.
Kind regards
Greenpaula

Hi Greenpaula, leave it with me, it may take a week or so. There are "millions" of Hoeys in Craigneuk, all related.
