Cambusnethan Cemetery Grave Search - Part 2

[Lodger]

Hi Singo, you've left it a bit late! Nicol Hood, a miner, aged 47 and a widower, was interred in common ground, so there is no record of the exact spot I'm afraid and definitely no headstone.
His father is named as James Hood but no mother's name given.
Enjoy your visit to Newmains.

Thanks for the quick response Lodger. Thats the right person! I had just found this roots chat and the forum topic when looking up info on the cemetery. Im new to all of thos and learning a lot on where to look to find more information.

Lodger, do you have a copy of the referenced record for his burial in common ground? Or reference on the source so I can keep with my own records? Thank you for your help.

Hi all,

Am I right in that the burial records aren't available online? If so, I'd be appreciative if anyone could help me with the plot info for the following:

• Jeanie (Dickson) Weir, died 18th January 1941, buried 21st January 1941
• William Weir, died 29 July 1914, buried 1st August 1914

I suspect Jeanie's husband, William Weir (d. 13th March 1932) (son of the above William) may be buried there too, so if he pops up that would be great. I've not had any luck in finding where any of this line of my family are buried, it was only coming across Jeanie's funeral announcement today that gave me the cemetery!

If there's more information that makes searching easier, do let me know. Thanks everyone

Hello HWBY,

The records I have only go up to about 1917, so I can't help with the 1941 request, sorry.

Here is a list of those people interred in plot E1676 of Cambusnethan cemetery, you will find your William among those present!

MARY WEIR, housewife, Wishaw, aged 69 years, married.
Parents - John McCulloch & Sarah Robertson.
Interred 1st October 1907.
Plot owned by William Weir, engine keeper, 51 Berryhill Rows, Wishaw.

ALEXANDER WEIR, waggon worker, Wishaw, aged 42 years, unmarried.
Parents - William Weir & Mary McCulloch.
Interred 1st August 1908.

JEANIE D. WEIR, Wishaw, aged 7 weeks.
Parents - William Weir & Helen Winters.
Interred 26th May 1913.

WILLIAM WEIR, pitheadman, Wishaw, aged 75 years, widower.
Parents - James Weir & Mary Hamilton.
Interred 1st August 1914.

I may be able to find the later interments for you but it could take a couple of weeks. Could you contact me again as I will probably forget!

Ah, Lodger, legend - these are indeed all mine, many thanks! I'll shoot you a buzz in a few weeks about later records... out of interest, do you have to go to the archives?

Cheers

I'm not too sure about your question "Do you have to go to the archives?" For what exactly?

I've had a look at your previous posts, here are a few entries that may interest you.
"wrought" means work. "Wrought to Mr Dick No1 and 2 pits" = He worked for Mr Dick.
Also, Craigneuk, although in the postal town of Wishaw, was in the civil parish of Dalziel.

JAMES DICKSON, coalpit fireman, Wishaw, aged 27 years, married.
Parents - Henry Dickson & Charlotte B. McPhail.
Interred in plot E324 on 15th February 1900.

HENRY DICKSON, engine keeper, Wishaw, aged 64 years, widower.
Parents - David Dickson & Ann Clark.
Interred in plot E418 on 5th November 1900.

HENRY DICKSON, Wishaw, aged 1 year & 11 months.
Parents - David Dickson & Ann Frater.
Interred in plot E418 on 20th April 1895.

HENRY DICKSON, Craigneuk, aged 18 months.
Parents - David Dickson & Ann Frater.
Interred in plot E418 on 9th September 1908.

Hope this helps a little.

Sorry, I mean to find these records - I tried finding burial records for the cemetery online but had no luck, so was wondering if you physically head over to where the records are kept?

You wouldn't believe how long I've been looking for some of the above that you just posted... Henry Dickson and Charlotte McPhail and their family have been my primary focus even since my previous posts that you've found. This information is exciting, though it raises some more questions! Thanks for the help, I hope you know how much info you're giving me here that I had written off as not being attainable!

Hi Lodger. Can I ask if there's anything for Robert Black (b. 1770) who appears to have died 1851-1855? He should be buried with wife Margaret Dalziel who died before 1841. They spent their lives in Cambusnethan. Thank you
