Cambusnethan Cemetery Grave Search - Part 1

[Lodger]

Hello AnnieBL and welcome to rootschat.

I don't have any records for 1857, apart from the monumental inscriptions for the old churchyard and no sign of Marion's death on any of them. 
I doubt very much that there are any burial records from that time.

There is only one John McCallum recorded in the burial records for 1865.  He is described as a "Pensioner" (which would probably be an army pensioner) his abode is listed as Wishaw and his age was 97 years. Father was Donald McCallum, no mention of his mother.
He was probably interred in common ground, as he is in the "common" register, he may however, have been buried in a family plot at the expense of the Parish Council, but I don't think there will be any way to prove that. (unless you think that some of his family were buried at Cambusnethan at a later date?) .
Date of internment was July 25th 1865 in the old burial ground.
If you know of any of his children who may also have been buried there let me know - spouses names too if possible.

Sorry I couldn't get anything else.  I hope you enjoy your visit to this area - bring an umbrella!

Lodger, thank you so much for that information.  Yes, John McCallum was a Chelsea Pensioner (I'm also following that lead up at the mo).  John's daughter, Agnes, was married to Joseph Calderhead.  Joseph Calderhead was the informant on John McCallum's death certificate.

Agnes died in Cambusnethan on 15/11/1892 (aged 62 although her death certificate says aged 58) so I think she will be buried in Cambusnethan cemetery.  Joseph Calderhead died in Fife in 1901 so I suspect that he will not be found in Cambusnethan.  If you are able to offer any further information, it would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks again.

AnnieBL.

I found the burial records for Joseph Calderhead and Agnes McCallum.
They are both buried in the old churchyard in a family plot owned (at that time) by Joseph Harris.
There is monumental inscription to correspond with this plot.
Here is a list of those interred, there may be more, either before the first date mentioned here, or after the last date.

Buried in the North lair are -
HELEN BURNSIDE, aged 64 years. Interred 8th dec 1882.
CLAYTON CALDERHEAD, aged 37 years. Interred 22nd Sept 1904.
MARION CALDERHEAD, aged 2 years. Interred 12th April 1898.
Buried in the Centre lair -
DONAL McCALLUM, aged 59 years. Interred 2nd May 1885.
Buried in the South lair -
AGNES CALDERHEAD, aged 59 years. Interred 18th Nov 1892.
JOSEPH CALDERHEAD, aged 70 years. Interred 15th May 1901.
MAGGIE McCLELLAND, aged 2 years and 5 months. Interred 26th August 1902.

---------------------------------------------------------

I couldn't find parents names for any of the above, no day-book of internments for the old churchyard has survived, apart from paupers who were buried there.

Had a look through the rest of the records, this is what I came up with, a mixed bag I'm afraid.

found a plot in the new cemetery, No554 Section E.
Interred there are -
JANE SCOTT, Motherwell, aged 8 years.
Parents - John Scott and Marion Rennie.
Interred 13th Nov 1896.
JANE RENNIE, housewife, Motherwell, aged 77 years.
Parents - James Calderwood and Jane Harris.
Interred 26th April 1911.
JOHN SCOTT, coalminer, 12 Delburn St, Motherwell, aged 64 years.
Parents unknown.
Interred 12th Jan 1917.

----------------------------------------
Also found the following 4 burials -

MARY CALDERHEAD, Wishaw, aged 10 months.
Parents - Joseph Calderhead and Agnes McCallum.
Interred in old churchyard (common ground) 14th April 1865.

AGNES RENNIE, Kerr's Pit, Dalziel, aged 15 months.
Parents - Clayton Rennie and Jane Calderhead.
Interred in old churchyard (common ground) 26th Nov 1870.

JANE CALDERHEAD, Wishaw, aged 61 years, widow.
Parents - Joseph Harris and Jane Loudon.
Interred in old churchyard (common gd) 31st July 1877.

AGNES G CALDERHEAD, Wishaw, aged 19 months.
Mother - Jane Calderhead.
Interred old churchyard (common gd) 31st July 1877.

I would think that the last 2 were perhaps grandmother and granddaughter? Both buried on the same day.

That's the best I can do Annie.

Hi Lodger

I hope you don't think I'm being cheeky, but have you had time to look for my Hoeys yet in the records?

Would really appreciate it

many thanks

Lodger, you are an absolute star!     You have confirmed some names that are on my 'to investigate' list and have given me a starting point.  Of course, you have also given me quite a few new queries to add to the 'to investigate list' but that's all part of the fun.  Thank you so much for your time and trouble.  Annie

Hi Lodger.

Have been following this thread for awhile and finally got up the courage to ask if you can please help me with the following.

Mary Craig,m.s. Fulton, d. Feb 22 1870
George Craig d. May 16 1898
Mary Craig, Mar. 16 1867
Alexander Craig d. May 21 1865
Charlotte Craig d. July 23 1870. Charlotte did in Auchleck Ayr, but wondered if she could have been buried along side her mother, Mary.
These deaths were both in Hamilton and Cambusnathan

Also George Craig d. May 6 1876, Cambusnathan
James Craig d. Dec 30 1893, Cambusnathan

Mary Craig, m.s. Craig, married to William Craig. William Craig, d. 1916, was buried in a plot belonging to his son in law William Ferguson/Toryusen in Cmbusnathan.

It would be great to find where my family members are buried. Planning on a trip to Scotland next spring.

Regards

Mary
