hello Chris can you see if you have a John McGuigan in your cemetry records He is on the 1911 census in Old Monkland married in 1906 but was dead by 1935 when his widow remarried. SP has no sdr and i am stumped! He can't just disappear.

What year was John born?

sancti the information I have is from John's marriage certificate. He married Mary Reilly in 1906 at All Saints Rochsolloch Airdrie and was aged 25 then.  Their household is listed in the 1911 census at 14 Stone Rows Old Monkland where he is aged 32 so his approximate birth date I have presumed to be 1880 and this is verified by checking his fathers household on the 1901 census where he is aged 22 and recorded as born in Ireland . I have a good trace on most of the family but cannot establish any details for Johns death. It may of course have been a war death but again I have no information to verify this. Still its fun trying to puzzle it out.

I have some information on a family of McGuigans from Holytown, Airdrie and Motherwell, not related to me. Some of the maiden surnames are Hutton, Devlin, McIntyre, Grant, McCormick and Morrison.

Hi Chris,
           I was wondering if you might know of a Kenneth Anderson Carruthers buried in Old Monkland Cemetery, or perhaps another cemetery closeby? Born and died in 1933. It's a recent discovery and, unfortunately, I'm in the US right now, so I'm unable to make the trip.

Many thanks,
           N.
