St Joseph's Cemetery, Airdrie

[Chris5856]

For the year 1881 there were a total of 150 burials at St Joseph's, averaging 12.2 burials a month. All were either in section B or D (old railway line). Three of the burials that year had plot numbers recorded against them. 43 of the 150 deaths were children under the age of 15. Of them five were still born.

Hi Chris

Was wondering if you could do a look up for me.

My GGGgrandfather  Philip Graham and his family moved from Airdrie to Croy Smithstone Row in the late 1860s.Philips wife died in Airdrie the year before they moved she was buried in St Josephs.Her name was Elizabeth Mcmahon or Mahon married name Graham.

Thanks

Hi Chris

Think the Elizabeth Grahams is her in Aitchicon street.Only thing is think who ever was writing the info that day head wasnt all together on the job as he has made loads of mistakes if it is my Elizabeth.Im almost sure its her despite the mistakes.

It has Elizabeth Grahams on her death certificate and that she was buried St Josephs, but she died 9 / 11/ 1860 and was  buried on 10 / 11 /1860.Plus it was 81 Aitchison street not 18.If you look you will see they have even mispelt Aitchison.
Looks like they have wrote the info back to front.

Many thanks

Just had a good look on Scotlands People and there is only one Elizabeth Graham died 1860 in Airdrie and thats my Elizabeth.

Could you tell me where abouts St Josephs Cemetery is in Airdrie.

My niece  bought a new build house there a few years ago just as you went into Airdrie and it was next to a grave yard.Unfortunately she has since moved.

Thank you

Coming from Cumbernauld you turn right as you approach Airdrie and carry on past the new houses. The cemetery is on the RHS

Hi Chris...I have just come across your posts and am absolutely fascinated at what you are doing.
I travelled to Scotland from Australia in search of my ancestors and when I finally made it to St Josaphs Cemetary Airdrie....darn if it wasn't flooded and I wasn't able to do anything except several recent family gravesites.
I was so disasppointed...however, now I have you as an answer to my prayers.
