If you provide a bit more info, christian names, approximate timeframe, it would be a starting point for anyone willing to help you - just a surname is a bit vague.

A good start Sancti, now I can add what little there is in the Cambusnethan burial records.

Hi Jinkybhoygb,

No sign of any Cooneys between 1861 - 1915 (there are a few gaps in the records) so it's safe to say that this family were late-comers to the parish. Cooney is an Irish surname, so your research may take you very quickly to Ireland, probably Donegal or another of the Ulster counties.

rope should be a much easier name to trace but again, I think it may take you to Ireland fairly quickly. There are a few Ropes buried in Cambusnethan cemetery and I would put money on them all being related, one way or another.
Here's a list of what I found - All dates are of burial, not of death.

MARGARET ROPE, Newmains, aged 16 months.
Parents - Andrew Rope & Margaret McGowan.
29th November 1871 in public ground. (In other words, Common ground).

BARBARA ROPE, Newmains, aged 2 years.
Parents - Andrew Rope & Margaret McGowan.
9th December 1871 in public ground. (next grave to Margaret above).

ANNIE ROPE, Newmains, aged 17 months.
Parents - Andrew Rope & Margaret McGowan.
18th August 1873 in public ground.

MARGARET ROPE, Omoa Poorhouse, aged 63 years, widow.
Parents - James McGowan & Barbara Conway.
9th July 1907 in public ground.

PATRICK MULLERVY, Newmains, aged 2 minutes.
Parents - Owen Mullervy & Mary Rope.
8th December 1906 in public ground.

JAMES MULLERVY, Newmains, aged 3 months.
Parents - Owen Mullervy & Mary Rope.
10th February 1908 in public ground.

AGNES ROPE, Newmains, aged 4 years & 4 months.
Parents - Thomas Rope & Margaret Park.
16th April 1907 in plot E611.
(Also in that plot in Margaret Biggar, 17 year old daughter of Charles Biggar & Margaret Park, buried on 6th November 1906).

PATRICK ROPE, Newmains, aged 13 months.
Parents - Andrew Rope & Bridget Bain.
23rd March 1908 in public ground.

CATHERINE ROPE, Newmains, aged 10 months.
Parents - Andrew Rope & Bridget Bain.
16th December 1912 in public ground.

HENRY ROPE, labourer, Wishaw, aged 45 years, unmarried.
Parents - Andrew Rope & Margaret Irvine.
21st February 1913 in public ground.
(I wonder if Margaret Irvine is really Margaret McGowan?... Lodger).

BRIDGET ROPE, housewife, Newmains, aged 38 years, married.
Parents - John Bain & Margaret Cooper.
16th April 1913.

That's all there in in the cemetery records, it should give you some clues to the Rope side of your family.

According to the IGI (International Genealogical Index) at www.familysearch.org

Andrew Rope and Margaret McGowan were married in Cambusnethan parish on 14th october 1867.
The following children are listed but there may well have been more -
All dates are of birth

ANDREW - 20th January 1868.
BARBARA - 14th March 1869.
MARGARET - 1st September 1870.
ANNIE - 27th - February 1872.
CATHERINE - 22nd July 1873.
PATRICK - 7th December 1874.
All of the above were born in Cambusnethan parish.

The IGI also has a birth at Cambusnethan for
BRIDGET ROPE, Parents John Rope & Ann Docherty, born 16th August 1881.

Good luck with your research,

Lodger

Hi morag,

Janet, Thomas, Agnes, Margaret and James are all interred in the private walled burial ground at Cambusnethan, it is situated between the old churchyard and the new cemetery.
They are in a double plot, 158 & 159.
Janet & Thomas are in 158, the other 3 are in 159. All 5 are children of William Duncan and Janet Wilson.

Hi Lodger,
Because of a recent post, I have been having another look at the Duncan/Wilson part of my ancestry.  When I checked out the death certificates of the siblings their mother's name is given as Janet Graham (spelt Graeme in Janet's baptismal record) not Wilson.  Just trying to verify this before I try to go back in time any further.
Thanks again for your sterling work - because of you I might well have found the only relative I know of on my grandfather's side!!

Hi Morag,

Yes, you're right, the mother's maiden surname is Graham - not Wilson. My mistake! I am so sorry to have mislead you.

[moragb]

No problem.  Just dotting Is and crossing ts.
Kind regards,
morag

Hi Morag, Yes Ellen McKechnie was my grandfathers Mother and John Wilson was step father to him, his brother Adam and sister Nellie in 1899. In 1901 they stayed in Ratho Midlothian.  My Grandfather is Isaac Caldwell as was his Father whom I have never ever been able to find after 1892, Ellen McKechnie was a Widow in 1899 when she married John Wilson,  she was from Law Village Carluke and John Wilson was from Airdrie at the time.  I have the Will of John Wilson and Margaret Smith of Fortissat Shotts, do you have this?
