For the gravestone which you purchased from findagraveinscotland:-

Neilston Cemetery

Enter by the main gate and is on the right hand side before you reach the small roundabout – it is in the row in front of the Shanks gravestones.

Along the bottom of the stone the following is inscribed:-

The combat’s o’er the prize is won.


Annfield will be the name of the house they lived in - perhaps some one who knows Neilston will know if the house is still there. The cemetery they are in is on google maps as Barrhead, Neilston cemetery (SW-bound). It is the main gate which is shown on the street view.
To give you an idea of where the stone is:

Fantastic Murphyz, this is amazing.  I cannot express my gratitude for doing this work for me.  Hopefully one day I'll make it over there to see it myself!

Not much but from the Barrhead News:-

5 June 1925 - Death Notice

"Duguid - at Annfield, Neilston on 29th May 1925, James Duguid retired grocer, beloved husband of Alice Birtwell."


15 Oct 1942 - Death Notice

"Duguid - at 81 Kelburn Street on 14th October 1942 Jane Wright Duguid, youngest daughter of the late William Duguid."

I have no idea whether these are relations but I have found two other stones in Neilston cemetery with the name Duguid on them:-

I will need to go back and get photos, please don't purchase them from findagraveinscotland as I don't think you will be able to read one of them - I must have walked passed it 10 times without realising - the weather has not been kind to the stone. For the first stone - Enter by the main gates, turn left at mini roundabout, keep walking straight on at cross roads, stone along on the right hand side. Seconf Stone , enter at main gates and is on right hand side, one row back from where the Shanks stones are.

From Scotlands People - there is a death of a Margaret Hutchison, parents William Duguid (deceased) and Janet Stirrat (deceased) in 1946 at 81 Kelburn Street, Barrhead - I think that must be your James's sister.

Looking on familysearch.org I think William Paris Duguid mentioned on the other gravestone message must be a brother of your James.

Also from Scotlands People - a Mary Turnbull, widow of Mathew Turnbull died 1930 aged 71. Parents listed as William Duguid and Janet Stirrat (both deceased).

If anyone has a good knowledge of Barrhead History if they could help - I am sure Mathew Turnbull was some one!

Thanks Murphyz, aside from the email I sent talking about how I'm unsure how James fits into all of this, the rest of everything you've stated seems correct, and fills in the holes nicely.

I don't know if this link will work, but I've been filling in my ancestry.com tree with the info you've provided:

Thanks again.
