Cambusnethan Cemetery Grave Search - Part 1

[sage]

Thanks for checking Lodger and I love your photos!  When I saw Cambusnethan cemetery back in 2006 I marvelled at it's tranquility.  It's a beautiful place to visit.

Regards,

Heather.

Hello Kilsyth. The information that I gave you is on a compact disc, of all the burials in cambusnethan Graveyard from the 1600s,up to 1993, with some gaps, but unfortunately it is not for sale, if you have any other queries, I will be most happy to have a search, and if you can give me the parents names, that will be a big help.
We also have surveyed Airbles, The Globe, South Dalziel and St. Patrick's Dalzell Estate graveyards in Motherwell, if you have anybody in them.
Yours Ron.

Hello Ron,
Such valuable resourses you have.
I would like to make a request for a look up.
My grtgrandparents are buried in Cambusnethan, but I am not sure of their death date. I am making a rough guess that it is between 1928 and 1940 as they returned to Scotland from New Zealand after 1928. They were born William Stewart, approx 1866 and Jeannie Stewart (nee Jane Heggie)approx 1871.
 Also dates of deaths of Jeannie's parents James and Agnes Heggie would be appreciated. They all resided in Braeside Cottage Kirk Brae in the 1891 census and in the 1901 census William and Jeannie Stewart resided in Manse Rd, Wishaw.

Hi all

I'm looking for two graves which may be in Cambusnethan or another North Lanarkshire cemetry but I've had no luck yet.

Michael Dolan
Born September 30th 1859 in Buchanan Street, Bannans Land, Coatbridge,
Child Of John and Catherine (nee' Rourke) Dolan.

Michael Dolan passed away on July 27th 1910 He lived in Uddingston at 25 Greenrig Street. He left a widow Mary Ann Dolan (nee' Rollay? or Reilly).

Edward Pearson
Born   March 16, 1863 in Holytown, Parish of Bothwell
Died   December 21, 1918   at 22 West Academy Street, Wishaw

1891 Census Married to Susan Connor who appears on his death certificate as Susannah Connor.

1901 Census Living at 106 Scotts Road in Cambusnethan with his wife and 5 children.

Any way to check if they're in Cambusnethan?

Thanks
Camillo

Hi Camillo,

I don't have all the records for Cambusnethan and what I have finishes, more or less, at 1916.

No Dolans there, sorry. I used to know a family of that name from the Coatbridge/Baillieston area. There were 2 brothers, twins? not sure, they've been dead for years. Philip and Patrick. Their mother was Sarah Cahill, she lived to be 101 years old. They had either a grandfather or great-uncle who was lord provost of Glasgow, after WWII perhaps?

Not much luck with the Pearsons from my records but my guess is that they are buried in C/nethan. There is one child of theirs there -

ANDREW PEARSON. Berryhill, aged 9 months.
Parents - Edward Pearson and Susan Connor.
Interred 6th August 1908. Section E. 1462.

if Edward died in 1918 he will be in the same plot.

Scotts Rows (not road) were at Berryhill and in my 1925 Wishaw directory there are still Pearsons grouped around the area, mostly at Berryhill and Quarry Street, some in Academy Street which isn't too far from there.

Lodger, can you have a wee look for Meek, and oblige.      Skoosh.

[Lodger]

Hi Skoosh, I would need a little more than just a surname.
Parents names, including mother's m.s.

Thanks Lodger, the only info' I have is a William Meek who married a Janet Walker, Cambusnethan 3rd March 1792.

Thanks so much Lodger. The names of the Dolans are definitely not Philip and Patrick but I have a story which says a former Lord Provost lived in the same close as them. Interesting. I've tried Viewparks too but to no avail. Any other suggestions?

What is the likelihood of Edward being in the same plot as his child. Can I check who the lair owner is?

[Lodger]

Skoosh, Meek is a most uncommon name in the C/nethan records, none in the MIs and only 2 in the burials, both females (one with no first name!).
