Lanarkshire / Re: Cambusnethan Cemetery Grave Search
« on: Friday 02 July 10 21:19 BST (UK) »
Hi Lodger,
Can you help me identify the burial place of a William Davies (b. Bothwell 1823 d. Cambusnethan 1898), his wife Bethia Hepburn who was born abt 1822 and d.bef. 1882, his second wife Elizabeth McKinnon and any of their children. They moved around Cambusnethan and neighbouring parishes during their life times.
I'm also looking for burial info for any of William's parents or siblings. The parents names were John Davies and Marion Morrison, although I suspect that they may have been buried in Bothwell parish.

Hi Lodger
Thanks for the photo of "Whistledry"
I have a record of my 3xG Grandfather, Alexander McCormack, as having died at Windmillhill in 1866 and one of his sons living there when he was married in 1861.
I also have a census record of the same family living in Knowe Top. What are the relative modern locations of Windmillhill and Knowe Top?
Cheers

Hi Lodger
I'm looking for any burial info you may have for a David Gemmell who died in Jan 1873 aged around 73, his 1st wife Janet Herron who died in Nov 1861 aged around 65 and his 2nd wife Margaret Foster, date of death not known. Also David's son David Gemmel who died in Jun 1866 aged 35.
I don't have any knowledge of where they were buried but all were living in Cambusnethan at the time of their deaths and for a period beforehand.
If they were indeed buried in Cambusnethan Cemetery can you please advise me of any other burials in the same liar(s).
Thanks

Thanks LWLen & Lodger
I know that my 4xG grandfather, John Rodger (from Overtown) and Janet Lindsay (from Wishawtown), had an illegitimate daughter in 1807, called Isabella (my 3xG grandmother). I have a copy of Isabella's birth/baptism record from Cambusnethan OPRs. If I have identified the right John Rodger from the headstone, he would be about 20 when Isabella was born which sounds about right to me.
I know what happend to Isabella and most of her family, in that she and four of her children emigrated to the USA in 1868/9. I also know from burial records that her husband Alexander McCormick (1866), daughter Sarah (1919) and son Edward (1881) and other family members were all buried in the Cambusnethan cemetery grounds.
I am now looking to find out what I can about the previous generation hence my interest in John Rodger and Janet Lindsay. I don't have verifiable BMD info for either of them, hence I'm trying to work my way back from burial records, pre compulsory registration in 1855.

Hi LWLen
Thanks for your help. It's another small step forward, particularly that there are no other John Rodger residents in the cemetery.

Hi Lodger,
Do you have any info on inscriptions or the ownership of lairs in the old churchyard?
There is a headstone there that may belong to my 4xGG, John Rodger. The top half of the headstone is now unreadable, but the bottom half reads:
"also John Rodger his father who died 12th May 1842 aged 55 years"
The date and age fit in with what I would expect but any additional information you have would be appeciated.

Thanks Lodger - you help has been most appreciated. 
I will now try and make sense of what you have given me, by identifying the various families and marriages, then pay another visit to Register House.
I actually drove to the cemetery (from Edinburgh) earlier today and just had a walk around to see if I could find any familiar names. The old part is in pretty poor condition but I believe that I located Sarah's grave in one of the newer sections. Certainly the 1919 death date matches that of the Millen researcher. The plot looks like it belongs to the "Maclean" family with a Janet Maclean, Thomas Maclean, Margaret Mullen and Sarah McCormack Mullen all listed on the headstone. Sarah's age is given as 96 (b.1823?). However, I concur with the 1826 birth date, as she was listed at age 14 in the 1841 Census.
I'm certain that the McCormicks were not Roman Catholics as I have records for several of the marriages of Alexander/Isabella's children, two with banns in the Established Church of Scotland at Cambusnethan and Larkhall, one in the United Presbyterian Church Larkhall plus Edward's 2nd marriage in the Methodist church, Dalziel. One of the son's wives was actually employed as a domestic servant at Cambusnethan Manse.
Thanks again
