I'm a little late to this conversation. My great-grandfather (William Haney) of Bellshill died at Hartwood of cerebral thrombosis in 1940. Where do l look up where he, and other ancestors are buried - as GeriK64 seems to have done? I have contacted North Lanarkshire about who all are buried in a particular plot - not all are listed on the stone, if there is one.
Hi SarahU
Some of the records have been digitised at the Motherwell Heritage Centre [contact details here:
https://culturenl.co.uk/museums/visiting-us/north-lanarkshire-heritage-centre/ ]. I don't know if they will do 'lookups' if you can't go in person, but might be worth giving them a call. I was able to visit and found a load of my relations as the digital records allowed me to search by name across a number of burial places.
Even if he died at Hartwood, your great grandfather could be buried in any of a number of places, as there a a lot of cemeteries and churchyard around Bellshill. uried in My 3 x great GF died in 1911 at Hartwood, but was buried in New Stevenson, which is where his wife had been buried in 1908.
I think the problem is that the main 'cemeteries' part of the council will hold some records, but these might not be electronic and will allow a search by cemetery or a specific plot, but not by name across more than one location.
If you do call MHC, let us know how you get on!
Best wishe
