Hi Sancti
When you go up to St Brides church yard again.Could you please look out for James Crawford Rodger 1824-1891 his wife was Jane Greenshields.
They were both from Douglas.
Thanks a million
Nancy

Hi Sancti - I'd appreciate copies of the pictures of the Clarkson stones. This is where my wifes ancestors originate and I'd like to tie these into the tree if relevant.
I hope that this is not too much bother.

Hi Sancti, i am interested in the scott,wilson, slimon grave thanks lnr
-
It is in memory of James Wilson and his wife Jane Scott also Ralph Scott and his wife Margaret Slimon
PM me if you want a copy of the picture

I took a few photos of my family's gravestones when I visited Douglas in the late 1970's. The graveyard keeper told me that if a stone falls they just leave it to be covered, if they cannot contact any surviving member of the family.
I fear therefore since no Tassie is listed that the stone commemorating John Tassie merchant of Douglas who died 15 May 1835 age 71 and his widow Marion Greenshields who died 1837 age 75, and their son Thomas, has gone?
On the other hand the memorial to George Draffan and Martha Tassie was large and looked very firm, and you haven't listed that one either.
-
Those who lie in the graveyard at St.Bride's are surrounded by so much history. Very close to my ancestor's burial spots is the old entrance into the Kirk through which on Palm Sunday 1307 marched soldiers of the English garrison. The Douglas descended upon them there and massacred them giving name to The Douglas Larder.
Facing one side of the Kirk is the Old Sun Inn where the covenanters gathered.

sancti,
Is the following inscription the one mentioned in the "History of the Count of Ayr" by Patterson?
WOOD BROWN INGLIS SOMERVILLE
He references a inscription in Douglas Churchyard in 1764?? of a James Somerville married to a daughter of Inglis of Ingliston.
I suspect the date, if the same inscription, should be either 1674 or 1664 as his great grandson, as noted by Patterson, got married in 1761!
Thanks
-
It was erected by James Wood in memory of his father Alexander and mother Margaret Brown and his wife Marion Inglis
-
Thanks, Patterson's book was published in 1866 (and so the tombstone was probably there prior to 1866). So the tombstone may no longer be there or legible.
-
A lot of them are illegible, face down or covered by grass
-
Hi do you have a picture of the SCOTT HAY LAWSON stone - particularly interested in Mary Scott (Hay) who died 1839. Thanks in advance :)

The gravestones I was concerned about were still standing earlier this year and the Tassie stone dates back to around 1832.
Someone on the Lanarkshire Forum had a look for me last February - http://www.lanarkshirefhs.org.uk/forum/index.php?action=printpage;topic=375.0
