Dear All,
Im at present involved in a project to transcribe all the lair books for the above cemetery. Ive also taken about 3000 headstone pics and transcribed the details on them to a database. I have details of nearly 5000 interred at the cemetery just through the headstones. Im building a website to allow access to the database. For copyright reasons I cannot produce pics of the headstones or lair books, however Im willing to do lookups and confirm details should anyone require them. At present the lair books are transcribed from Jan 1860 to May 1864.
The cemetery now features on Facebook
Regards
Chris

Well done, Chris! Thank you for all that hard work.
I could probably inundate you with lookups, as I probably have zillions of rellies buried there. Is the web site going to have an index of names?
Meantime, I'd be interested to know if there are any Waddells or Stor(r)(i/e)(y)s.
-
Ive applied for a grant to cover the cost of running the website. It is intended that it will have a searchable index and that it will be free to access the information. Im still awaiting word on the grant. As you can see from my website it does not offer much in they way of photos or database. This is free to run, it only starts to cost when I need the capacity to put photos and the database on it. In the meantime, Im happy enough to do lookups in here.
Im afraid I have no Waddells or Stor(r)(i/e)(y)s yet, although I do have a few Black's....

Thanks, Chris.
I had avoided asking about Blacks because I thought there would be too many! I don't think any of these are mine.

Hi, must be a long tedious journey. I wonder if you've got anything on the following names
Toy(e), Michael and Annie Quinn, Mary Devan and David and Fanny Hendry and Thomas and Mary Fagin
I know that my paternal grandparents and ggrandparents are buried here.
Thanks
Dominic
p.s. where are your quinn family from

Thanks for all the information. I've picked up quite a few direct rellies. I didn't have their death dates. My Quinns came from Donegal, and settled in Airdrie around 1890 ish.

If you want the pics send me a private message and I will send them to you

Im afraid Im away to Florida for three weeks. ;D
If you are wanting a look-up please put it in here and I will get to it on my return.

Another year has been transcribed and Im now into 1874. A lot more burials from people living in Coatbridge appeared in 1873.

Most common names between those years are as follows
Quin/Quinn (31 burials)
Gallagher (27)
Burns (24)
McGuire / Maguire (24)
Smith / Smyth (23)
Campbell (20)
Murphy (20)
Kelly (19)

Hi there - what an amazing project - I'm in awe of it! I wondered if there were any Mcfaddens (sometimes alternate spellings of the surname were used) buried in St Josephs Airdrie, pre 1875? As I know my McFaddens worked there intermittently, and may in particular have had children who died that I'm not aware of.
If this is too general/time consuming a request, then apologies, and no need to feel obliged to respond :)

That is fantastic, thank you VERY much! A few new names there for me :) I really appreciate it.

Chris do you have any Mulranie/Mulreany/Mulraney?

Hi Chris,
This is a fantastic project and will be of help to a lot of people.
If you have time, could you see if there are any records for Gwynne/Gwyn/Gwin or for Sweeney/Sweenie.
If I register on your site, is it possible to search the records? Some of my names are very, very common and I wouldn't want to waste your time.
Best wishes

Hi Rockford,

Here's the Sweeney's between 1860 and 1874

Chris do you have any Mulranie/Mulreany/Mulraney?
Hi Sancti

31/01/1867 Bridget Mulreaney 01/02/1867 1 B 1041 New Carnbroe
1st date is death date, 2nd internment. 1st number is age, then section, then lair and lastly address.

Thanks Chris, I was hoping for a Hugh 1869
-
Hi Chris,
Thank for for the info on the Sweeneys - I think there are some of mine in there and you've made it much easier to narrow down some options. I though the Gwynnes were a long shot!
I might come back with a couple more for you - I really appreciate it.
Best wishes

Ive just come across the burials of John & Pat Mulraney aged 4 & 3 who stayed at the iron works in Longloan. Both died on 18 May 1875. Both sons of John Mulraney and both buried in the same lair.
Chris

Thanks Chris
Went onto SP and checked death for John
Father was John and mother was Mary Gallagher
Died at Ironworks Row Langloan
-
Hi Chris...I can only say what has been repeated and you area doing a fantastic job there.
Is it possible to check Docherty/McLauchlans please?
I am knocking my head against that proverbial brick wall and found nothing new to add in a whole year of searching now.
Best wishes.

Hi Miyam
I have plenty of both surnames. Any dates/christian names in particular your looking at?
Chris
-
Chris do you have any Mulranie/Mulreany/Mulraney?

Hi Chris,
You are doing a very worthwhile job and all of us with rellies from that area appreciate it. I'm wondering if you can find/ have found any Allans or Smellies. They lived in the Langloan area.
thank you for your efforts,

Hi Nan
In the lair books Ive only had one entry for those names so far and that was the following one.

The following Allen's I have tombstone pictures for

Thank you Chris for checking on the Allans and Smellies for me. Hugh is a possibility. I think most of my lot moved to the Glasgow area after 1900.
You are doing a great service. Keep up the good work

For the year 1881 there were a total of 150 burials at St Joseph's, averaging 12.2 burials a month. All were either in section B or D (old railway line). Three of the burials that year had plot numbers recorded against them. 43 of the 150 deaths were children under the age of 15. Of them five were still born.

Hi Chris

My GGGgrandfather Philip Graham and his family moved from Airdrie to Croy Smithstone Row in the late 1860s.Philips wife died in Airdrie the year before they moved she was buried in St Josephs.Her name was Elizabeth Mcmahon or Mahon married name Graham.

Hi Chris
Think the Elizabeth Grahams is her in Aitchicon street.Only thing is think who ever was writing the info that day head wasnt all together on the job as he has made loads of mistakes if it is my Elizabeth.Im almost sure its her despite the mistakes.
It has Elizabeth Grahams on her death certificate and that she was buried St Josephs, but she died 9 / 11/ 1860 and was buried on 10 / 11 /1860.Plus it was 81 Aitchison street not 18.If you look you will see they have even mispelt Aitchison.
Looks like they have wrote the info back to front.
Many thanks

Hi Again Chris
Just had a good look on Scotlands People and there is only one Elizabeth Graham died 1860 in Airdrie and thats my Elizabeth.
Could you tell me where abouts St Josephs Cemetery is in Airdrie.
My niece bought a new build house there a few years ago just as you went into Airdrie and it was next to a grave yard.Unfortunately she has since moved.
Thank you
Marguerite

Coming from Cumbernauld you turn right as you approach Airdrie and carry on past the new houses. The cemetery is on the RHS

Hi Sancti
Yes that is where my niece stayed.To think i used to visit and never knew my relations were buried there.
Need to visit soon .Pity my niece moved back to Cumbernauld.

Hi Chris
thank you so much..you are an angel..I will pour through these today with great delight.
just so I understand ..you are working through dates in lair book oldest to most recent, is that right.do I have to contact you again or will you update as you go.
what inspired you to do this?
Morag
-
Hi Morag,
Just contact me again. The admin would go nuts if I posted updates. I update the years on the cemetery FACEBOOK website page...http://www.facebook.com/StJosephsCemeteryAirdrie.
My family left Ireland during the famine of mid 1800's and settled in Coatbridge. They are all in this cemetery. I retired two years ago and began this project. Its tough going and a bit tedious, but Ill get there. Its taken me a year to do 23 years of entries. I should be finished when I reach 80. ;D
Chris
-
My family too, McGuigans, left Ireland mid 1800's to Airdrie.
Scattered now all around the western world so I am trying to give my grandchildren an idea of where they come from.
I'll keep an eye on facebook.
Bless....Morag

I would be very grateful if you could check if there is a burial record for Mary Lambie/Ferguson/Little who died 7 January 1869.
Many thanks.

Hi Im sorry, but there is no record of that person in the lair books for that date.
Chris
-
Thanks for checking for me. I was going to go to the cemetery but as I didn't expect there would be a stone, I hoped the lair book would give me the information I am looking for. I have already checked the stones at Holytown cemetery without success and there isn't a lair book for that time. I guess I may never know.
Well done with the job that you are doing!

I have no record from the lair books for a Mary Lambie or Little between the dates 1860 and 1883. I do have ony one Mary Ferguson.

Thank you for having another look for me. As I am fortunate to have Mary's death certificate to confirm her date of death, I can only guess that she is buried in Holytown Cemetery. It is disappointing that there are no records. You have been a big help to me.

The legible headstones in Holytown churchyard have been transcribed by LFHS
Where did she die?

Hello Sancti.
Mary died at Legbrannock.

Hi Chris - just sent you a message on your website forum but I'm looking for Devlins in Airdrie 1840s-1880s who came originally from Toomebridge in Antrim. Also McIntosh family there about the same time originally from Edinburgh and previously to that Blair Atholl. Think the Devlins will be buried in St Josephs in unmarked graves - can you point me towards some info?
Thanks

Many thanks Chris - the first and last on your list are defintiely mine!
Peter McIntosh's wife Elisabeth died in the Airdrie Poorhouse Hospital in January 1885 aged 63 but not on your list? Was there another burial ground? Is there a guide to the sections/plots - I would now be interested in making a visit to see the graves - though I suspect unmarked
Are there any other locations from these years still to be seen in Airdrie do you know?
so very grateful

Hi Donna
Ive not transcribed 1885 yet. Ive had a look at the book and she's recorded as Mrs Peter McIntosh. Died 10 Jan 1885 and was buried on the 12th. She is buried in Section B (The old railway line) and it confirms that she stayed in the Poorhouse, although it says she was 60. I have pics of the graveyard on the Facebook page. This pic is roughly the area she will be in. The grave is unmarked. I only have one pic for a McIntosh and thats a priest at St Margaret's who died in 1889. Im sorry, Donna I don't understand your last sentence?

Thanks Chris - that is her. I'll try to visit the cemetery soon and I see there is an archive centre in Motherwell with poor law records for Airdrie so will see if they have her poorhouse record.
Sorry for lack of clarity in last sentence - I don't know Airdrie and just wondered if there are other 19th century buildings etc to see today. I see St Margaret's church has a good website so will take a look at that too.
Kind regards

Are there any Wedlocks in the cemetery please.I know they lived in Old Monkland for some time,but I don't know where they were buried.Just a possibility if you wouldn't mind.Thank you :-[

I found a web site www.deceasedonline.com which gave me 11 headstones.
Stane ,Old monkland,and Larkhall cemetries.Are any of these St.Joseph's? :-[
I think you are amazing chris, the time you put in for all of us.Thank you so much, Biddy
-
No, none of them are St Josephs
Old Monkland is Coatbridge and they may be buried there
-
okay and thank you again.Will try there,and good luck with your project.You are helping so many.

i am interested in the location of Patrick and Anne Kelly in St Josephs. they lived in Glenboig.

Im nowhere near that date as far as the lair books go. Ive transcribed about half of the headstones in the cemetery and so far I have no Anne of Patrick Kelly between those dates. I only have an Annie Kelly (64) who died in 1967.

thanks chris

Chris,
I have a number of ancestors named Traynor who lived in Airdrie through the late 19th and 20th centuries many came from Ireland in the mid 19th Century. I would be grateful if you could post any details that would help in my family search.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi High
Traynor is a well known name in this cemetery. Firtsly I deal with the lair book. The following chart gives the Traynors (various spellings as you'll see) that died bewteen 1860 and 1883.

Chris,
This is great. The Christian names that keep cropping up in the family line are Lawrence and Bernard and I have no doubts that some of the names on your list are related to me. In the late 19th and the early 20th Century some of the family lived in Hallcraig street, Airdrie or at least a part of it that was called St Margaret's Place near where the chapel is now.
Thanks again for your help.
P.S. How can I access the photographs of the graves?

Chris,
compliments on your excellent work, may I ask if are aware of a headstone for Lair 212 Railway Plots St Josephs ,probably not as the family were miners, but for any Rootchatters researching these names here are the ones I have buried there, William O Hare d 13 Sept 1895 age 27,John O Hare 6 Dec 1905 age 61, Sarah J Devie 29 Aug 1902 age 5,.
Cheers

Hi Lud,
No I hve nothing for the O'Hare's you have named, in photographs.

Hi there I was wondering if someone could help me? I am trying to find a grave or a plot number. My grandparents lost a baby who died 3 hours after she was born. She was basically took away and my grandparents had no idea where she was buried. I think it would have been somewhere in Airdrie maybe st Joseph's cemetery. How would I find this out ? Can anyone help ?
-
Where did she die, is the death on Scotlandspeople?
-
She died in a place called Plains. It's north Lanarkshire About 60 years ago
-
Plains is just outside Airdrie
Is the death indexed on Scotlandspeople?
-
What do you mean scotlandspeople
-
www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk is a pay per view site which allows you to view births deaths and marriages as well as census records for Scotland

Hi Tony,
Whats the name and year of death?
Chris
-
St Joseph's RC Cemetery, Airdrie. The year 1883.
There were a total of 201 burials this year. This was an increase of 12 on the previous year, giving an average of 16 burials a month. Of them 104 were children under 15. Two of those children were still born. The oldest was Daniel McAleese from Longriggend who died aged 77. All the burials were in sections B & D, which is the old railway line. Only 15 of the burials had a plot number recorded against their name.
Over the year there were internments from people who lived in outlying towns and cities such as Motherwell, Blantyre, Glasgow and Kilsyth. The person(s) recording the burials are starting to increase the recording of plot numbers against the names. During 1882 there were only 8 records that had plot numbers marked against them. This year there were 15.
The most repeat surnames were Docharty, (4) Quinn (4) and McGee (5)
Chris
-
Hi Chris
I'm not totally sure the year I will have to speak to my mum. I think it must have been about 60 years ago. The name was Kathleen Boyle
-
There is this record on Scotlandspeople and can be viewed to confirm parents names
1956 BOYLE CATHERINE Female aged 0 at AIRDRIE OR NEW MONKLAND /LANARK
-
Hello Tony, I wondered if this is what you are looking for?
There's a death on ScotlandsPeople for a Catherine Boyle, age 0, in 1956, and the registration district is Aidrie / New Monkland which would include Plains. There's nothing for a Kathleen with a K.
It might be worth looking at the certificate on line, because that will give you her parents' names and you'll know if they are your grandparents or not.
To view it, go to Scotland's People by clicking the link sancti gave. You need to register to search, but that costs nothing. Once you have you'll need to purchase credits, but the smallest purchase of 30 credits will cover what you need for this, with plenty over.
You want to search 'Deaths' (3rd from the top on the left hand menu) and put in Catherine Boyle, 1956, then select Lanark as the county and Aidrie as the town. It should come up as '1 record, cost 1 credit to view'. Agree and you will get what I just saw, showing a GROS (reference number) of 651/00 0257. Click on 'View (5 credits)' and it will show you the certificate
-
Oops. collision with Sancti, but we both have the same details. Good luck
-
Hey it was Kathleen and it was 1957. Nothing for that ?
-
No. You did say originally that is was 'about 60 years ago' and also that she was taken away and her poor parents didn't know what had happened.
Would advise you to look at Catherine Boyle's death certificate to check the parents names and at least rule it out.
-
Sorry Tony, the 'No' sounded a bit abrupt.
I've just double checked and there is no record of any death for a newborn baby girl named K Boyle in Aidrie between 1950 and 1960.
-
Hey don't worry about that. I have just called my mum it was 1956 and on the certificate it was 1956. I am just wondering and pray that it's going to tell me the plot number where she is. Do you know if it will before I pay to see it ? Many thanks
-
And it was Catherine Boyle
-
Hang on Tony before you pay to view. Did I read that correctly? You mother already has the certificate, or is it that she knew it was 1956?
If your mother already has the death certificate, don't pay to view because all you will see is the same thing We didn't realise you already had the details when we went searching
A death certificate in 1956 isn't likely to give you a cemetery and plot number. Take a look at the very detailed posts Monica has put on 'links to Lanarkshire resources' (first topic on the Lanarkshire board) The 3rd and 4th post down give you a huge number of places to search.
Odd that, this is the 2nd time I've suggested that post to someone today!
-
I have went and paid for it. That is her death certificate. I am really confused now sorry. What do I need to do to find a plot number? Sorry i was not sure of your last message.
-
I'm sorry as well Tony. It seems we have taken you in a wrong direction but perhaps because we made assumptions, as you posted such general information originally, without any detail. I think sancti, Chris5856 and I were all under the impression that you were trying to track down her death so that you could find her burial. Your initial mention of 'about 60 years ago' led us to think we needed to identify her name and date of death for you before you could find her burial, if you can follow that, and that's what we were doing. We didn't appreciate that your mother already had the death certificate.
Chris has done a huge amount of work on St Joseph's, Aidrie and when he's back on the board he may be able to look her details up for you - if you remember, when he was last on he asked for her name and date of death.
If she wasn't buried in St Joseph's then you probably need to approach the cemeteries around the area (using the links Monica posted) and ask them to search for you. Good luck with it
-
Ok she died October 1956. Her name was Catherine Boyle. I am trying to find out where her grave is. I am not sure if she was in St Josephs in Airdrie.
She was reg under 259 in the register book i'm not sure if that would help. Do you guys know if she will have a plot number ?
Many thanks for your help

I dont have a headstone pic for her, but she will have a plot number for a burial in 1956. If she's buried in North lanarkshire the Heritage Centre in Motherwell should be able to help. Their details are as follows.....

Irishseeker,
I have taken photographs of all the headstones in the old section. Im afraid I do not have any pics of headstones for the Wedlocks I've named above. I do however have one headstone pic for a Richard Wedlock who died on 2nd March 1911. Unfortunately (for you) Im in Florida at the moment and do not have access to it. I will send it to you just after the 21st.
Chris

Chris,you are a legend.That is my Great Grandfather!!!.I hope you have a wonderful time in Florida,you deserve it on this alone.I can wait.Thank you so much.Don't let the 'gators get you. Biddy

Chris

I think your right Sancti. Its difficult to make out. It was around 1881 that they stated marking the section as just Lair and not B or D. By 1889 that had almost 30 years worth of burials so they might be referring to sections next to B or D. Its such a shame the recorders became so laxed in detail. The early years the records are thorough and all plot numbers were recorded.
Anyway it shows Elizabeth stayed near my ancestors at 48 Bairds Square in Rawyards. :D Small world.
I think Williams plot is not recorded. On my excel sheet he doesnt have a plot number. 246 refers to two entries above. However to be absolutely sure Ill need to go back and check when I return home. At his death he was staying in Crofthead near Riggend.
-
The death cert.definitely says he was residing in Crosshead.He fell off the Yett Bridge and fractured his skull,and wasn't discovered until the following afternoon.
In the meantime,I wonder if there are any Heaneys buried at St.Joseph's?They resided in Lanarkshire,it's just a thought.
Thanks for all I have received.Biddy

Another Mulraney for you?
Robert Ross Mulraney. Died and buried 30/09/1895. (18 months) 6 Peel Street, Airdrie. Plot 867
Chris
-
That's the book transcribed from 1860 to June 1886. It's 111 pages with roughly 35 entries per page. Along with the photographs that I've also transcribed onto my spreadsheet I have now recorded the details of 8,730 people interred at the cemetery.
Monthly numbers are increasing considerably. Upto 1875 the average was around 12-15 a month. In 1885 it's pushed past 20 a month. The last few months transcribed has seen internments reach 36 a month.
I've even found relatives I didn't know about. Tedious work but it does have its rewards.
Only 130 years left to do :o
Chris
-
Chris,
I'm pretty sure I don't have any relatives in St Joseph's, though you never can tell - I think mine were pauper's graves in Wellwynd and others around there.
What I do know is that if it wasn't for you and people like you who are willing to put in so much time and effort it would be so much harder for all of us. When you think back to pre-internet days, not so very long ago, we couldn't achieve a fraction of what we all manage now, and that's thanks not just to the big companies who we subscribe to on-line, but to people like you.
Even if my Aidrie relatives aren't on your list, a heartfelt 'thank you' from me - and good luck with the next 130 years!

That's 26 years of internments recorded so as to be searchable. A total of 4,393 records taken from the first book, which Im not even half way through. :o This information has been gleaned from 117 pages, which roughly take an hour each to transcribe and check each page. On top of that I have recorded details of 4,531 names, from about 60% of the 2613 headstones that I have photographed. These photographs I will make available to those that want them. ;)
-
Chris, I am always in awe at the people like you who put in the hours and passion behind these projects :) We wait for the next instalments! How many volumes are there for you to work through for St Joseph's?!
Monica :)
-
Thanks Monica
There are 6 books :o Roughly 246 pages per book
Its been slow because I was working, but thats me now fully retired so hopefully I will make a serious dent in it now...and it keeps my mind active :) Its a labour of love as I'm finding family all the time.
Chris

My nearest and dearest call me 'obsessive' re research....so I fully understand your labour of love ;)

Hi Irishseeker,
Ive found another Wedlock in the Lair book. Child of William Wedlock. died 21/03/1887, buried on the 22nd in plot B23 and resided at Crossfoot near Airdrie.
Chris
-
Chris,thank you again,this child is one of many that William and Suzanne Gordon lost.William is the brother of my Gr Grandfather Richard Wedlock.I suppose that there is no headstone for the little one. :( I hope you all had a lovely Christmas,maybe snow?We had most of our family together 31degrees C sorry.All the best to you all over there for the New Year ;),and here's to crashing down brick walls,without the earthquakes

Sancti,
Another couple of Mulranney's.... Hendry Mulranney son of John, aged 12. Died 1 April 1887 and was buried on the 2nd in section B. His address was Newlands near Coatbridge.

Hi Chris,
That's a considerable chunk of Lanarkshire represented there. I had no idea it covered such an area and it makes one wonder about the logistics.
Some time ago, you were good enough to look for Sweenies for me. It's maybe a long shot, but given some of the locations could you see if there are any Mulligans from Brewsterford, Bothwell or Holytown?
Best wishes

Hi Rockford.
I only have one Mulligan in the lair book so far. Bernard Mulligan (50) Died 13 Jan 1873 was buried on the 14th. He was from Calderbank.
I also have a pic of a headstone for Winifred Mulligan who died 18 May 1925 aged 68.
Chris

Hi Chris,
Unfortunately, I don't recognise either Bernard or Winifred, but I do appreciate you checking for. me.

Chris, like Rockford I had no idea how far the cemetery covered. I'm assuming this is a 'No' and all my family were in the areas already moved, like Wellwynd, but if ever you have a chance could you be kind enough to check if there were any Porters or Parks? The Porters were Aidrie as far as I know, but the Parks could have been Greengairs.
Many thanks in advance if you get a chance to look.

Hi Maggie
There are 3 Parks in the lair book...
Martha Park 16/04/1869
Mary Park 03/09/1885
Hendry Parks 05/03/1878
I have headstone pics for the following Park(s)
Annie Park 12/03/1990
Maria Parks 13/03/1980
There are no Porters in either Photographs or the the Lair book.....so far
Chris
-
Chris, what a fast reply, thank you so much. The Porters always were a long shot, I'm pretty sure they were in the pauper's graves moved from Wellwynd.
I have a Mary Park who would be my gr.gr.aunt, born in 1872 so that is possible but the others aren't names I recognise. Definitely the 1800s I'm looking for, I should have said. Mary was born in New Monkland district in 1872.
I'll need to do some digging and find out if she died in her teens.
Many thanks for taking the trouble.
-
Chris, what a fast reply, thank you so much. The Porters always were a long shot, I'm pretty sure they were in the pauper's graves moved from Wellwynd.
St Joseph's is a Catholic cemetery, while Wellwynd burial ground would have been strictly for the congregation of Wellwynd Church which was Presbyterian. So, if your ancestors were Catholic they most definitely would not have been buried in the Wellwynd - pauper's grave or otherwise. (As far as I know there is no evidence that there were any pauper's graves in Wellwynd).
If your ancestors were Catholic they would have been allowed burial in the parish churchyard of New Monkland which is at Glenmavis village, if they had died before St Joseph's was opened.

No problem Maggie. That Mary Park I'm afraid, was only 2 months old at time of death, so wont be the relative your thinking about.

Sancti,
Come across a headstone for the following Mulraney's
Mary Mulraney 09/01/1939 Aged 16
Helen Mulraney 29/10/1948 Aged 62
Edward Mulraney 22/01/1949 Aged 63
Chris
-
Cheers Chris
I'll follow them up.

Thats the lair book transcribed from Jan 1860 to Jan 1890. In the first 30 years of the cemetery, 4,876 people have been buried in the grounds. I have also noted the details of some 5,154 names recorded from the headstones. That's 10,030 names now available to researchers of deaths in New and Old Monkland and surrounding areas. Only another 122 years worth to go :o :(
-
Thank you Lodger, as with all your answers it's much clearer now, and thanks again Chris. Lodger's explanation means I was wasting your time, so apologies.
I know I have at least two family burials in Wellwynd (children) where that is noted on the death certificate, and other members of the family around the same years and living in the same streets that I'm assuming would have gone to the same churchyard but I have no proof. None of the lairs or records for Wellwynd ever mentioned any of our names which is why I was assuming they were unrecorded pauper's graves.
I know I probably ought to give up on this now, but you know what it's like with brick walls, you just can't seem to stop kicking...
-
Hi Chris, I am hoping you can help with a look up for a Ronald Moran, I know he was buried in St Joseph, between I hope 1900-1954, think it is possible a lot of my Moran's are buried there, any help really appreciated Ebony Eyes

Hi
I'm afraid I am only at 1894 in the lair book and nowhere near the dates your asking about. North Lanarkshire Council Archives have those books and can be contacted at 01698 524712/274597. However you should try and narrow down a death date of Ronald Moran. Have you tried Scotland's People website to try and find a death certificate?
In the meantime here is a list of Moran's that are buried in St Josephs between 1860 and 1894.
(http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c77/Lennox_1967/Ebony_zpse008b904.jpg)
I have headstone pics for the following Moran's
Winifred V Moran 02/09/1910 8 months
Mary Moran 21/02/1921
Catherine Moran Infancy
Margaret Moran 14/06/1976 47
Patrick Moran 04/11/1961 62
-
Hi Chris, Thankyou for your help, the Morans listed, are all part of my family, will see if I can narrow down Ronald,death date, it is my belief, he buried with his parents. Will get back to you Ebony Eyes
I have checked my records and the Moran's that you have found and yes they are mine, also checked for date of Ronald, which is 1932.Thankyou very much Ebony Eyes.
-
Hi Chris, I am hoping you can help again hoping that you might be able to find Conn's and possibly Trouton (Truten, Troughton). They all lived in Airdrie area. Kind Regards Ebony Eyes
-
Hi Chris, I am hoping you can help again hoping that you might be able to find Conn's and possibly Trouton (Truten, Troughton). They all lived in Airdrie area. Kind Regards Ebony Eyes
Only One Conn in the lair book
Death:28/03/1884
Name: F Conn
Burial:30/03/1884
Age:60
Section:D
Address: Whiterigg
Nothing for Trouten or spelling variants.
I have 3 Conns in headstone pictures
Robert Conn Death: 16/02/1916 Age:19
Helen Slavin Conn Death: 31/08/1985 Age:51
John Norton Conn Death: 14/03/1986 Age:83
and again there are no Troutens in the headstone pictures.

Hi everyone,
I now have access to details of new plots opened from 1933 to around 1970. This book has all subsequent burials placed in those lairs between the years stated. Which means that all occupants of each lair can be identified. I can do look ups but all image requests (if allowed) must be made through North Lanarkshire Council Archives.
Cheers
Chris

Another really starange one... Someone contacted me on the facebook page to look for family in a plot.
One I found was a Hugh Callaghan (38) from Coatbridge, who died on 2 Jan 1900 and was buried on the 3rd in St Joseph's. There is no trace of a Callaghan dying in Coatbridge/Airdrie or Old/New Monkland in 1900 on SP. Even a Scotland wide search doesnt gove me a Hugh or a male Callaghan one aged 38. Ive tried all variants of the name and still nothing. Any ideas why this could happen?
-
1900 CALLIGHAN HUGH Male aged 36 at COATBRIDGE OR OLD MONKLAND /LANARK

As promised. Its quite weather beaten and difficult to read, but he's there. Last entry. Ive posted it via photobucket so you should be able to zoom in. You will also see that Harry Giavarini is in there. He's the only Giavarini I have listed. Any problems Ill send it to your email. I dont have access to the lair book covering 1946. Its held at North Lanarkshire Council Archives.

Hi Stacey
I had a wee search on Scotlands People. I can only find two Giavarini's in the 40's / 50's. They stayed in Coalburn. Def your relation as Guiseppe married Helen McGuire. If you send me your email address Ill send you the certificate. His dad's name was Pieter and his mother was Dominica Farri. He died on 17 March 1954. Helen died in 1967. Her certificate is not available online. You would have to apply for it through Scotlands People. The GROS Ref for her is 649/03 0015

Hi Jim.
There does not appear to be a headstone, but she is buried in Railway plot 980. Her details on the log are Mary J McEwan died on the 27th of May, buried on the 28th. She was 36 and was from Udingston.
I have a record of a 63 year old Elizabeth Sweeney from Gartsherrie also in that plot.

Do you have a plan of the cemetery. I was there today and the one by the entrance was no help. I'm looking for my gt grandmother and father who died in 1908 and 1921 respectively. I have the lairs as 256 E and 256 D. Those section references now take me to a new area by the entrance itself which is wrong. Were the sections renamed?

Found the grave with the help of James Hay at the cemetery today. No headstone unfortunately. It's in the east section just up the hill from the railway plots.
The family name is McElhinney.

Hi Chris, thanks for the offer of the photographs but I am more interested in the 19th century information you passed to me by P.M.
Cheers,

Hi everyone, the next book containing circa 10,000 names is now being transcribed. It covers the Eastside plots and dates from 1904 to March 1958.

A big thank you in advance - if you can send Vallely and McConville headstone photos it would be really appreciated.

Hi Chris,
Sounds like a brilliant task you are undertaking.
At present I'm looking for any details of Mary Traynor (or Trainor). I think she died between 1861 and 1863. Her husband was a monumental sculptor in Airdrie so Im hoping he put up a headstone that would last. Can you offer any help?

Hi Terence
I have a Mary Hughes in my family tree who died in 1860 in Glaslough, Co. Monaghan. She was married to Bernard Traynor who was a Mason Journeyman, Stone Contractor living in Airdrie. He died in 1894. Could this be the Mary you are looking for?
-
What a wonderful idea. I don't suppose by any chance there is a Robert Douglas McGregor, died about 1911/12.
Many thanks for looking.

Hi Auchencrieff,
This is the Mary Hughes (wife of Bernard Trainor monumental sculptor in Airdrie) whose death I am trying to find. Do you have a source for her death in 1860 in Monaghan?
According to the Scottish Census taken on 7/8 April 1861 she was still alive at that time and living with Bernard Trainor and their children at 94 Hallcraig Street Airdrie.
Bernard remarried in 1867 but I cannot find any record of Mary's death and was starting to wonder if she had returned to Ireland and had died there - but I cannot find any record of that so far.
Hope you can help.
Thanks

Hi Terence B
Unfortunately I don't have the details as this information was passed to me by a cousin and I have not yet checked it. I did know that Bernard remarried in 1867 in Airdrie.
The other information I have is Bernard and Mary had 5 children. Some descendants of their son Lawrence currently live in Australia.
I can send you the information by private message if you would like.
Regards
Auchencrieff

Hi Terence B.
Apologies for the delay. Ive been away on holiday. I have headstone pictures for two Traynor families that are side by side and relate to sculptors in Airdrie.
The first relates to Lawrence Traynor who died 24 July 1892 aged 43 and his family
The second erected by Bernard Traynor in memory of his wife Mary Hughes who died November 8th 1860 aged 40. Bernard is buried here as is his second wife Sarah Conlin. From the inscription it states that Mary is interred in Donagh Cemetery, Glaslough, County Monaghan, Ireland.
Im sure these are the headstone's you are looking for. PM me your email address and Ill send them to you. Bernards headstone is quite weather beaten, but it can be made out.
Cheers
Chris
ps thanks for your comments.

Bernard Traynor and his second wife, Sarah Conlin are buried on the slope immediately to the left of the main Celtic Cross. (photo taken last winter) The photo is looking down from the main section towards the railway plots

Hi Chris, I haven't been here for quite some time, but still searching for family. Do you have a Bamrick Margaret, buried at St. Joseph's, died 5th September 1860, and buried on the 7th same.
She was a Wedlock, married James Bamrick, mother of Martin, Mary, and Elizabeth.
Strangely, cause of death was "Unknown", but no RCE
Many thanks

Hi Irishseeker,
There's a Margaret the surname looks like Hedlack, its very difficult to make out, but Id suggest its your Margaret. Died on the 5th and buried on the 7th. It says she was aged 23 and was from Whiterigg. She is buried in Section B plot 64 of the original part of the cemetery.
Chris

Thank you so much Chris, the dates are right as well as the Christian name. I gather there is no photo, I also see that the Cemetery is almost full. This must be a tragedy for those with so many family therein, and more to come. I hope something turns up to enable the Council to change its' mind
Meantime again, I thank you for your help

Hi Chris
You are doing a heroic project! I wondered if you had reached a William Press, died 17 December 1908 at Brewsterford Place, Coatbridge and most probably buried in St Joseph's Cemetery. I would be really grateful for a look-up.

What an amazing piece of work. Kudos.
IF you have time or the inclination do you have any detailed data on the Campbells buried in the Cemetry. I have a Campbell friend in Australia trying to find data about the cemetry.
Once again a huge "Thank you" for your dedicated hard work.

Hi Chudleigh
Thanks for your kind words. In 1908 burials were in the railway plots & the eastside plots. Im afraid there is no sign of anyone by the surname Press. I also checked the original book and the name does not feature there either. Sorry.

Hi there
Thanks for your kind words. Campbell is a very popular name within the cemetery and I have detailed information on almost all of them which includes addresses. However, the books belong to the Archives and I can no longer give out lists, which I used to do. I can give details on specific search requests but I cannot give out lists.
I can give you a list of Campbell's that I have headstone pics for because this is my own work.

I don't have a pic for Margaret. I do have one for a Ellen Bambrick, married to John Devine. She died in 1950.
In the book of the eastside plots theres three Bambricks, all children. Ellen, Patrick & George who died between 1930 & 1941.
In the railway plots theres a Martin Bambrick who died in 1903, aged 40
In the first book 1860-1900 there are several.
John died 1879 aged 50
John 1880 aged 71
James 1893 aged 75
Elizabeth 1896 aged 70
Ann 1881 aged 60
If any are yours I can PM full details

I hope you can help me. I am looking for burial information on the William Martin family. Some of them (or all) may predate St. Joseph's, but I will list them anyway. They were Catholic and any suggestions as to where to look for their burials would be appreciated. They are as follows:
William Martin (b. 1818) - died August 1852 in a coal mining accident near Airdrie
Jane or Rosanna Brack Martin (b. 1820) - sometime between 1853 and 1861
Margaret Martin (b. 1845) - sometime between 1853 and 1861
Edward Martin (b. 1853) - sometime between 1853 and 1861
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Toni,
St Joseph's didn't open until 1860. Ive checked all Martins and the first one doesn't appear until 1865 and that's a 50 year old Henry.

Where would parishioners of St. Margaret’s in Airdrie been buried before 1860, when St. Joseph’s opened?
I’m looking for the burial of my GGG Grandfather, John Sweeney, who was a parishioner of St. Margaret’s (and, I believe, helped found that parish). He appears in the 1851 census with wife Margaret (my GGG Grandmother), but not in the 1861, where Margaret appears as “Head” of household, with no John.
I have found a burial of John Sweeny (conceivably around the right age - but a tad too young) in Scotland Deaths, buried in 1856 in the Old Daleth Cemetery in Glasgow. There is a note that says “Private Ground” after the cause of his death. Not quite sure how that applies here. Would it be possible that someone who lived in Airdrie would have been buried in the Old Dalbeth cemetery?
Chris - you sent me a message via Ancestry.com a few years ago listing the burials of three Sweeneys - two Johns and one Margaret. The Margaret, buried 12/11/1867, is indeed my GGG Grandmother. The elder John, buried 11/02/1864, may possibly be my GGG Grandfather, but he doesn’t appear in the 1861 Census, so I’m not sure that there’s any possibility that it’s he.
Now - I’d love it if I could get photos of Margaret’s and the elder John’s tombstone if you have them (in Mar 2013, you did not). Trying how to figure out how to do that. I guess I’ll have to wait until I post two more Rootsweb messages, since I don’t yet have PM privileges.

Hi there cpone,
Im afraid there is no headstone. The vast majority buried in the 1860's in St Josephs did not have headstones. The earliest headstone for a Sweeney, is a Hugh Sweeney who died in 1916. There is a possibility that he could be in Old Dalbeth, but I believe a lot of catholics were buried in Old Monkland cemetery before St Josephs opened.
Chris

:(
No headstone. Ah, the story of my genealogical life.
Well, thank you anyway Chris. You're really providing a great service.

Thank you for looking!

Hi Chris, I just came across your project by chance. I saw a list of 'Boyles' and realised at least three were family members in St Josephs. Would you have any photos of these graves I could see please.

Hi there,
Been following this thread and think that I'm related to the Bamricks. My gran (from Airdrie) has always spoken about Martin, Lizzie and Mary Bamrick. I believe Mary Bamrick was her grandmother. Glad I've found this threat because I've always wondered about my German ancestors :)

I'm interested in the McWilliams Land. My husband is a descendant of Agnes Gaw, wife of Hugh McWilliams. She is found (age 45) in Airdrie in the 1841 Census with daughter Anne (25) dressmaker, Elizabeth (15) Robert (15), and Samuel (10), both miners. Anne was the wife of Charles McGuchmann and mother of artist Patrick McGeehan. Thank you!

St Josephs didn't open till 1861. I have no record of Agnes & Hugh. Nothing for Anne though I have an Ann who died in 1900 aged 55.
I dont have an Elizabeth, but two Roberts but they're both infants around 1900
There no record of Samuel.
I do have a Charles McGeechan who died in 1870 aged 75 and its indicated he had a headstone, but Ive not come across it. Chris

Do you have a Michael Francis Martin who died February 1955?

Hi,
I am desperately trying to find the burial location of a relative (my gran's first child who died when she was 2 weeks old in 1946) and I think this might be the correct cemetery, as all my great grandparents are buried here, I believe. I am so amazed and grateful that this thread is still active and that you're doing this work.
I was wondering if you might have a record for a Mary Boyd, died 28 March 1946
She might be buried alongside John Joseph Hughes/Mary Hughes (McGresken/McGrisken) who died 9 April 1924 (100 years ago today!) or Andrew Boyd died 1950s/Janet Boyd died 1910s or 20s.
Any help on any of these names roughly on these timelines would be incredible.
Thanks you so much
-
Hi Chris......... My family research has sent me your way. I'm wording if you could help me for which i would be so grateful. I'm trying to find where my ancestors are buried.
All I know is that they lived in Coatsbridge, and were Roman Catholic. Their names are Annie McAteer 1880-1907 (nee Herrity) and her son Michael McAteer died 1907 age 0.
They might be buried with Annies 'Herrity' Family. Her parents were Bernard & Annie Herrity (nee McBride).
They were from Donegal, Ireland and emigrated to Scotland either before or after Annie was born.
Fingers crossed! This story is one that means a lot to my family.

Hi. I me trying to find graves of two family members. We believe from records they lived and died in Coatbridge area. Both were catholics. Could you check to see if you have them in the lair list please?

Many thanks
