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.
I am interested in
McGuigan
Smyth
Burns
Queen
MacAuley
Callaghan
Marley
Dowdalls
I think youo are doing a wonderful service and I thank you in advance.....MWAAAA

Hi Morag,

Just contact me again. The admin would go nuts if I posted updates. I update the years on the cemetery FACEBOOK website page...http://www.facebook.com/StJosephsCemeteryAirdrie.

My family left Ireland during the famine of mid 1800's and settled in Coatbridge. They are all in this cemetery. I retired two years ago and began this project. Its tough going and a bit tedious, but Ill get there. Its taken me a year to do 23 years of entries. I should be finished when I reach 80.

My family too, McGuigans, left Ireland mid 1800's to Airdrie.

Scattered now all around the western world so I am trying to give my grandchildren an idea of where they come from.

I'll keep an eye on facebook.

Bless....Morag

I would be very grateful if you could check if there is a burial record for Mary Lambie/Ferguson/Little who died 7 January 1869.

Many thanks.

Hi Im sorry, but there is no record of that person in the lair books for that date.

Thanks for checking for me.  I was going to go to the cemetery but as I didn't expect there would be a stone, I hoped the lair book would give me the information I am looking for. I have already checked the stones at Holytown cemetery without success and there isn't a lair book for that time.  I guess I may never know.

Well done with the job that you are doing!

Thanks for that.

I have no record from the lair books for a Mary Lambie or Little between the dates 1860 and 1883. I do have ony one Mary Ferguson.

Thank you for having another look for me.  As I am fortunate to have Mary's death certificate to confirm her date of death, I can only guess that she is buried in Holytown Cemetery.  It is disappointing that there are no records.  You have been a big help to me.
