East Chapel Graveyard location?
« on: Wednesday 03 October 18 12:06 BST (UK) »
I wonder if anyone can help, on the death record of a relative of mine in 1852 I see she was buried within “East Chapel Graveyard” does anyone know the location of such a graveyard?

She lived and died in Clarkston.

I’ve attached an section of the record in case you think it may say something else.

Samuel,  New Monkland kirkyard as a section where folk buried in Chapel Street, Airdrie were exhumed & re-interred there along with their stones. Could this be the East Chapel?

Some years ago I was asked to contribute a paper to the "Raddle", the journal of the new defunct Monklands Heritage Society. It was entitled "The Churchyards of Airdrie Burgh". I will attempt to attach it here as there is quite a bit on "The Old Chapel". OK, tried and the attachment was too big! I'll cut the part required.

Can someone let me know if this file opens ok?

Samuel, if you tell me the ancestor's name I'll check if any mention of him/her was found.

Thanks Skoosh, there was a bit of "cut & paste" involved to get this file shortened and I see a blimp in the middle somewhere but, you get the gist I hope.

Thank you so much! The file opens, just about to have a read. My ancestor's name was Mary Marley, maiden name - Millarkey/Malarkey/Mullarkey (also seen it spelt Larkin) so it could be a bit tricky to find her. She died in 1856 in Clarkston.
