Would appreciate any information on the above family. Father Daniel 1829-1879 and mother Elizabeth nee Waugh 1833-1867.
Have been trying to locate burial places but as yet unsuccessful.
They had 6 children, 3 who died as babies... Daniel 1855-1857 Hugh 1857-1861 Elizabeth 1861-1861
I know that of the others, James 1854-1937 my great grandfather, moved to Cornforth. I believe the other 2 were another Daniel born in 1859 and another Hugh, middle name Kerr, born 1864. Any information relating to these 2 lost relatives would be most welcome.

HI there, through my work I had contact with a Mr Thomspon who is a descendant of Daniel Thompson, Slamannan. I do know that there are alot of this family buried within Camelon Cemetery. I will look up the relevant information tomorrow at work.
Kind regards
Gillian

Hello there Gillian, thanks for your input regarding the Thompson family.
Can you tell me where Camelon Cemetery is
Regards Nancy
-
Camelon cemetery is located just off the A803 road between Falkirk and Camelon. It's down Dorrator Road which is the road that runs down beside the Copper Top pub. If you follow this road which is signposted crematorium, it will take you down to the cemetery.

Thank you all for this wonderful information.
Nancy your GG Grandfather, Daniel Thomson 1829-1879, was also my GG Grandfather. My G Grandfather was his son James 1854-1937. He married Elizabeth Simpson and they had 3 children Mary 1880, Elizabeth (my grandmother) 1886-1957 and Arthur 1896-1963.
James and Elizabeth moved from Slamannan to West Cornforth in County Durham where they both died.
I quess that means we are distant relatives.
If you would like any information from my side of the family I will gladly send anything I have.

Here is another Thomson family that I have found on Scotlands People
1901 census Bannockburn.
Daniel Thomson head age 42 coal miner
Elizabeth wife age 37
William son age 15 coal miner
Alexander son age 12
Daniel son age 7
Elizabeth dau age 5
Hugh son age 2
Their address was listed at 15 Main Street Bannockburn
Going further into this family I found out that
Daniel ; was born in Slamannan 1859
Elizabeth; born in Airdrie Lanarkshire
William; born in Airdrie d.o.b 6/2/1886
Alexander; born in New Monklands
Daniel; born in Stirling 13/4/1893
Elizabeth; born in Bannockburn
Did not find out where Hugh was born.
Daniel Thomson and Elizabeth Kerr were Married in Rutherglen Lanarkshire on the 17th June 1881.
Can anyone help me. Is this Elizabeth Kerr related to Isabella Kerr who was the mother of of William Kerr Thompson who died in Shotts Lanarkshire in 1951 (he was my Grand Father). Isabella Kerr was married to another Daniel Thompson, his mother being Elizabeth Waugh
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL ROOTCHATTERS AND ALL HAVE A GOOD NEW YEAR.

Just found that Daniel Thomson who was born 6th February 1859 in Cambusnethan at 69 Stewarton Street Wishaw.
His father was John Thomson mother Isabella McMinn.
Any relation to the Thomson's of Slamannan/Bannockburn/Stirling
Daniel Thomson born 4th August 1959 father Daniel Thomson and his mother was Elizabeth Waugh who married in Slamannan 10th October 1852.
ARE THEY RELATED ?

Hi,
My grandfather Arthur Thompson was your grandmother's brother. So I suppose that means we are related. Arthur's daughter (my mother - Jean) now lives in Spennymoor. I would like to get in touch with you to learn more about your part of the family,

How great to hear from you.
I have a feeling I have met your Mum at family "do's". I am Douglas's daughter.
I have sent PM with email address. Please let me know if you do not receive it.
Best wishes to all

I am a little confused here.
1) who is Douglas you are referring to
2) how far back are you going when you said you think you met my mother
3) I have not received your PM
Hope to hear from you
Nancy
