James Millar married Helen Thomson 10 Feb 1828 Old Monkland.

 Apart from your Archibald, there is birth record for a son named Matthew born 16 July 1841 Rutherglen.
Matthew married Janet Robertson in 1867. He was also a miner.

This leads to find the Miller family in the 1851 census (father James is dead)

and the family in 1841 census

Hi folks.
I'm receiving information on my Miller family that ties in with the little information I've gleaned so far. Thanks to all who've responded in such a short time

PS. I'm new to this website so I may not get back as quickly as I'd like

Hi DM

Take your time with it all  :)

A question for when you log back on. Did your grandfather die in the US? Just concerned that we have a death for David b. 1903 in Scotland really...

My grandfather David Paterson Miller died in Motherwell (Dalziel Parish).
He died in his home in 65(?) Milton St Motherwell 1943
However, he had a brother Archibald Miller who died in the USA
My Uncle David Paterson Miller was born 1903 in Douglas(?) Lanarkshire
He died in Edinburgh 1960(?)

Cambusnethan cemetery Wishaw, burial records.

JANET PATERSON, housewife, Rumblingsykes, aged 47 years, married.
Parents - Alexander Gillies and Isabella Tedford.
Interred in common ground on 16th December 1868.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rumblingsykes was the old name for Craigneuk, the name fell into disuse about the turn of the 19th century.
Janet was buried in common ground, which meant she was given a pauper's funeral, so there wouldn't have been a headstone or grave marker of any kind.
I couldn't find any other interments for a combination of "Paterson & Gillies" in Cambusnethan burial records.
I have never seen any photographs of Rumblingsykes or Garibaldi Square, the latter was slum housing of the worst sort, it was demolished many years ago.
Paterson, Torrance, Gilchrist - Hamilton Lanarkshire. 
McCallum - Oban, McKechnie - Ross of Mull Argyll.
Scrim - Perthshire. 
Liddell - Polmont,
Binnie - Muiravonside Stirlingshire.
Curran, McCafferty, Stevenson, McCue - Co Donegal
Gibbons, Weldon - Co Mayo.
Devlin - Co Tyrone.
Leonard - County Donegal & Glasgow.
