Hi Chris,
Sounds like a brilliant task you are undertaking.
At present I'm looking for any details of Mary Traynor (or Trainor). I think she died between 1861 and 1863.  Her husband was a monumental sculptor in Airdrie so Im hoping he put up a headstone that would last. Can you offer any help?

Hi Terence
I have a Mary Hughes in my family tree who died in 1860 in Glaslough, Co. Monaghan. She was married to Bernard Traynor who was a Mason Journeyman, Stone Contractor living in Airdrie. He died in 1894. Could this be the Mary you are looking for?

What a wonderful idea. I don't suppose by any chance there is a Robert Douglas McGregor, died about 1911/12.

Many thanks for looking.

Hi Auchencrieff,
This is the Mary Hughes (wife of Bernard Trainor monumental sculptor in Airdrie) whose death I am trying to find.  Do you have a source for her death in 1860 in Monaghan?   
According to the Scottish Census taken on 7/8 April 1861 she was still alive at that time and living with Bernard Trainor and their children at 94 Hallcraig Street Airdrie. 
Bernard remarried in 1867 but I cannot find any record of Mary's death and was starting to wonder if she had returned to Ireland and had died there - but I cannot find any record of that so far.
Hope you can help.

Thanks

Hi Terence B
Unfortunately I don't have the details as this information was passed to me by a cousin and I have not yet checked it. I did know that Bernard remarried in 1867 in Airdrie.
The other information I have is Bernard and Mary had 5 children. Some descendants of their son Lawrence currently live in Australia.
I can send you the information by private message if you would like.
Regards
Auchencrieff

Hi Terence B.

Apologies for the delay. Ive been away on holiday. I have headstone pictures for two Traynor families that are side by side and relate to sculptors in Airdrie.

The first relates to Lawrence Traynor who died 24 July 1892 aged 43 and his family

The second erected by Bernard Traynor in memory of his wife Mary Hughes who died  November 8th 1860 aged 40. Bernard is buried here as is his second wife Sarah Conlin. From the inscription it states that Mary is interred in Donagh Cemetery, Glaslough, County Monaghan, Ireland.

Im sure these are the headstone's you are looking for. PM me your email address and Ill send them to you. Bernards headstone is quite weather beaten, but it can be made out.

Cheers
Chris

ps thanks for your comments.

Bernard Traynor and his second wife, Sarah Conlin are buried on the slope immediately to the left of the main Celtic Cross. (photo taken last winter) The photo is looking down from the main section towards the railway plots

Hi Chris, I haven't been here for quite some time, but still searching for family. Do you have a Bamrick Margaret, buried at St. Joseph's, died 5th September 1860, and buried on the 7th same.
She was a Wedlock, married James Bamrick, mother of Martin, Mary, and Elizabeth.
Strangely, cause of death was "Unknown", but no RCE
Many thanks
