Bothwell churchyard

Did the children all marry in Lanarkshire?

[LawsideOpener]

So far, I've found four of the five children marrying in Bothwell.  A brother, Alexander, died in Jan 1934 and James registered the death giving his address as 181 Main Street, Uddingston.

I did wonder if one of his children emigrated and he'd gone abroad with them but I haven't been able to trace evidence.  One son definitely died in Coatbridge in 1960 so there were still relatives living in the area well into James' dotage if he survived that long.

Several others have been searching for James' death for quite some time without success so it's proving a real mystery.  In a way, trying to find a headstone online was my big hope.

Good News!

I have found James.  He died in hospital in Stonehouse and it looks as though he was living with a son in Broomhouse at the time.

I thought I'd checked every death in Lanarkshire but obviously I'd missed that one until I revisted my search list.

Thanks for all your help and encouragement.  It's great to know that there are people willing to offer so much to strangers.

By the way, I've now found the Death Notice from The Herald and it confirms that the funeral was to be held at Bothwell Park Cemetery so you were spot on with that advice too.

Cheers

Hi Sancti,

Some of my family are buried in Bothwell cemetery, and I notice the surnames are in your list (Hossack / Stevenson, Hossack / Wilson and Hossack / Hopkins). I'd very much appreciate a picture of the gravestones - i've been trying to send a private message but can't.

My email is *

I hope that's OK?
