Just to keep you interested.
It's not clear from the description but all that remains is the tower and clock.
When I'm there I'll try and take a photo from the same angle.  I'll ask the people to move out the road first.

I've also just found this post on another forum, co-incidentally by another Dave.

Thanks Dave. I imagine this would have been the church my grandmother was baptised in. She was born in Crossmyloof in 1908, so I cannot access her birth record yet. I have saved a copy of the Church pic.

Cheers  ;),

Hello David

When you visit the cemetery, could you also watch for George & Agnes Miller. Appears I have another more recent line of Millers. Agnes Jessie Dorman married George Miller in District of Pollokshields in 1921. Agnes was born 23 July 1887 Cathcart.

Much appreciated.

Will do. 
I also intend visiting a cemetery in Pollokshields for another friend.  Pollokshields isn't too far either.  I'll look there too.

Hi Dave,
I am looking for the burial of James Edgar died Old Cathcart in 1874. His wife Jean nee Smith died about 1842 or at least between 1841 and 1851. Would be interested if there is a gravestone for this family. Thanks for your help.

Went to the cemetery last weekend.
I will go back for you and have a look but maybe not for a few weeks.

Nothing yet.
Walked past it today as i do most weekends but tried to get in today for the first time.  All 3 gates securely padlocked.  I assume to prevent vandalism.
There is one bit of the wall which I will be able to get over quite easily but it was a very wet day here. 
I'll return during the week in older clothes (dark coloured and a black ski-mask) and climb in.
A lot of the stones are in poor condition but I could see at least a few which are still in good condition, hopefully the ones which will be of interest to us.
I'll get back to you but probably not until next week now.

Thanks for the laugh Dave, loved your graphic description of how you intend entering the place  ;D

I saw you were surprised not many folks had asked for you to take a look-see.  I don't know where my folks are buried before late 1800's and possibly a sibling of my direct line could have been buried at Campsie where he worked.  He was one of the sons of John Crum(b) & Lilias Glen who moved between Glasgow, Dalnottar & Calton.  Their sons born between 1768 and 1786 and their sons too spread themselves about a bit.

Wishing you happy scrambling.
