Hutchisons, Covington and Thankeron - Girdwoods, Pettinain
« on: Wednesday 07 June 23 20:45 BST (UK) »
Hello!

I am trying to find more information on my great, great grandfather Thomas Hutchison (Born 1839 in Carstairs and Died 16 April 1916 in Thankerton). I have tried to find where he might be buried but so far have been unsuccessful. At the time of his death he was listed as a retired farmer. The address was given as Tinto Glen, Thankerton. In Census information there was also mention of Tinto View. I know the date of his death may be too 'recent' but am hoping someone might be able to help!

His parent's were James Hutchison (Born 1808 I think in Carstairs and Died 24 Mar 1895 West Calder) and Margaret Haddow (Born c1807 in Carluke and Died 10 Nov 1894 in Gladsmuir, East Lothian).

His wife was Margaret Girdwood (Born 1846 in Pettinain and Died in Thankerton 5 May 1905).
Her parents were Daniel Girdwood (Born 1819 in Pettinain and Died 13 Jun 1905 in Lanark) and Helen Govan (Born 1813 in Midlothian and Died 8th Dec 1886 in Pettinain).

Any information on any of these folks would be very gratefully received.

Thank you,
Aileen

So sorry! You can probably tell I am a complete novice - thank you for sorting it out for me.

Hi Aileen, I've checked the Upper Wards of Lanarkshire Monumental Inscriptions and couldn't find anything, sorry. You may be right about being too recent, the Upper Wards book tends to focus on pre-1855 inscriptions.

Hi Aileen,

Have you tried looking for his death in the newspapers to see if it gives details of his burial

Hello Lodger,

Thank you for looking - it was a long shot.

Rosie - thank you for your suggestion, I have started searching for funeral and obituaries now. He was named in a history of Covington and Thankerton Vol 2 (by William Fleming) as a notable in the area:

Thomas Hutchison (c1839-1916) was a farmer in Tinto View in 1901 (census). He had previously been anagricultural labourer in Cormiston and Coulter. His son Thomas was a merchant in Thankerton

This makes me more confident that there will be something somewhere about him (and his son) - just need to find it!

Best wishes,
Aileen

25 September 1912
The Scotsman


Describes the dairy farm “Tinto View” at Thankerton.
It’s being advertised for Lease so must be when Thomas was preparing to retire.
