I hope for your sake he lasted until at least January 1861. Before then the name of the spouse wasn't registered, only the marital status.

Hello Lodger & Others with Carnwath MIs
I have a long wishlist for burials in Carnwath Burial Ground.
Please can you find any GRAHAMs? names I am especially interested in are George, died Feb 1878, Marion died June 1855 & James who predeceased his wife Marion. Others in the family were Ann died 1828, & one child on Marion's death certificate whose name is illegible whom I think died in 1801 (might be William).
I'm also looking for Peter SMITH who died in Sep 1852 & his wife Grizzel aka Grace who died sometime before 1841, Peter SMITH Jnr who died in July 1885 & his wife Margaret who died Nov 1887.

Also Robert BAIRD, whose wife Christian/Christina died in Sept 1858.

Any other BAIRDs, SMITHs & GRAHAMs you can find would be most appreciated.

Hello australorp and welcome to Rootschat.
The dates don't quite tie up but here is a Smith/Baird MI from Carnwath Graveyard that may be of interest -

In affectionate memory of Peter Smith late Joiner in Kaimend d. 7.2.1883 aged 81y. Margaret Baird his wife d. 13.11.1867 aged 85y. Christina Bertram their daughter d. 11.7.1837 aged 11m

There is also a Barbara Smith wife of David Brown. She died 10 June 1853 aged 55 yrs

I have a picture if you want a copy

Thankyou Canisp & sancti
Peter & Margaret Baird are definitely mine although the MI transcription has the wrong year of death - those are 2 that I have death certificates for. Christina's death is new information for me.
I will keep searching to see whether David & Barbara Brown fit into my tree.

australorp,

I have sent you two PM's (Private Messages) listing all Graham's, Smith's and Baird's mentioned in MI's for Carnwath Churchyard. You may need to make one more post on Rootschat (minimum of 3 posts required) to enable you to view your PM's.

Thankyou so very much, Canisp,  for sending me all those MI's. It will take me some time to sort them all out & discover whether I can link them into my family tree.

I've just received Marion GRAHAM's Will, which tells me her daughters' married names. May I be greedy & ask whether there are any TOD, BLACKIE or HALBERT MI's for Carnwath?
I think Agnes GRAHAM (born 1805) married James HALBERT; Marion GRAHAM (b 1812) married William BLACKIE; Janet GRAHAM (born 1788) married unknown TOD.

Thankyou very much again, Canisp. I've managed to identify the Paul Blackie memorials as part of my family.
