Hi Chesapek

Have you got some dates? Death? Birth?

What sort of information are you looking for?

Cheers

I can't read the stone but one child named Isabella died in infancy and is interred in Pettinain
Another Isabella died in 1977 but I can't read the relationship.
Could be a Daughter, Daughter in Law or  even a Grand daughter?

EDIT:
family members mentioned on the stone may not be buried here.
It  also states that son Robert is interrred in Canada

Parents married 1871
1901 census in Carnwath shows a 4yr old Isabella.
If this is the person who died in 1977, she would have been around 80yrs of age when she died

Hi, a few bits.........

19 Dec 1876
Robert Robertson
age 25
occ: farmer
res: Eastfield,Carstairs
father: John Robertson   occ: railway surfaceman
mother: Mary Dickson
Isabella Kelly
age 18
occ: farm servant
res: Dykehead, Shotts
father: James Kelly  occ: contractor (dec.)
mother: Margaret Wright
witnesses: James Weir & Sarah Kelly

Birth:
Isabella Kelly
born: 4 September 1891
place: Carnwath, Lanark

Marriage:
John Robertson & Mary Dickson
married: 8 December 1843
place: Libberton/Carmichael, Lanark

* I could not locate the marriage of James Kelly & Margaret Wright in Irish or Scottish records

children of John Robertson & Mary Dickson:
24 Dec 1844  William  Carmichael, Lanark
12 March 1848  James  Pettinain, Lanark
1 July 1850  Thomas  Pettinain, Lanark
24 October 1852  Robert Dickson  Carmichael, Lanark
15 Oct 1854  Nicholas  Douglas,Lanark
22 Nov 1856  Anne  Douglas, Lanark
23 July 1861  John  Pettinain, Lanark
24 March 1863  George  Pettinain, Lanark

children of James Kelly & Margaret Wright:
13 Aug 1856  William  Cambusnethan,Lanark
24 May 1859  Isabella  Cambusnethan,Lanark
28 Nov 1861  William  Cambusnethan, Lanark
25 Aug 1867  Mary  Cambusnethan, Lanark

1861 census
Edinburgh & Ayr Rd, Cambusnethan, Lanark
James Kelly  age 40  born 1821 Ireland  occ: drainer
Margaret Kelly  age 31  born 1830 Ireland  wife
Ann Kelly  age 11  born 1850 Dumfries  daughter
James Kelly  age 10  born 1851 England  son
Sarah Kelly  age 8  born Ireland  daughter
Mary Kelly  age 6  born Ireland  daughter
Isabella Kelly  age 2  born Lanark  daughter

I could not find Ann's birth in Dumfries/nor anywhere else between 1845-1850 in Scotland. As to James' birth in England, there are too many James' so you would have to know where the family was. Also, could not locate Sarah's birth in Ireland.
Hope this helps, Kim
