William and Jean Miller gravesites

[pdonati1]

I am trying to locate the gravesites for William Miller 1820-1892 and his wife Jane/Jean Smellie McCallum Miller 1819-1903. I believe both died in Rootpark, Forth, Lanarkshire, Scotland.

Rootpark is in the parish of Carnwath, so the first place to try is Carnwath.

This is now in South Lanarkshire, but I see that the cemetery there opened in 1899 so they are unlikely to be there. So you need to look for the burial records of the old kirkyard.

Possibly Wilsontown churchyard

Possibly Wilsontown churchyard

According to the South Lanarkshire council web site, Wilsontown Cemetery extension was opened in 1939, but the kirkyard is shown on older maps.

Maps and satellite view suggest that the kirkyard in Wilsontown is/was beside the Free Church.

The kirk is no longer in ecclesiastical use.

No burial records survive for Wilsontown churchyard and there are very few standing headstones
