Lodger - Ran out of space.

It was Mary, d/o John Barrie & Christian Russel that married John Brownlie:
"1790  Augt 25th  This day John Brownlie in this parish [Carluke] and Mary Barry in the parish of Cambusnethan gave in their names for proclamation in order to marriage"
"[1790] Augt 27  John Brownlee in Carluke parish & Mary Barry in this parish [Cambusnethan]."
This was verified by Australian descendant Ian Edward Brownlee of N.S.W.

Older postings mentioned a 'compact disc of all burials in Cambusnethan graveyard from the 1600s up to 1993 with some gaps' at Motherwell Heritage Centre.  Do you know of anyone doing look-ups there ?                    -- Raybar

Thank you Lodger -  I really appreciate your time & effort.

All 5 men are sons of Robert Barrie & Isobel Hamilton.  Obviously the parentage of Alexr in the one entry is wrong. He was born 6 May 1824; John B. & Christian Russel in 1733.  All except Robert were born in C'nethan; Robert in Carluke.
The location & fact of marriage in John's interment record led me to find that an Extract Registered Trust Disposition and Deed of Settlement & Inventory had been recorded at the Glasgow Sheriff Court 19 Jan 1870; also that his wife was Agnes Lang.  They were married 20 Dec 1861 & had 3 sons, Robert Russell Barrie, b. 3 Mar 1862; Gavin Lang Barrie, b. 12 Jan 1864; & John Barrie, b. 5 Jan 1866.
Googling "Gavin L. Barrie", I found a photo of an inscribed monument in the  Kirkton of Lochalsh graveyard showing that a Gavin L. Barrie d. 27 Nov 1935 @ 71Y (=1864), his wife Christina Finlayson d. 9 Jun 1932 @ 68Y, their son Robert R. Barrie d. 19 Apr 1970 @ 71Y & his wife Katherine Fletcher d. 29 October 1979 @ 88Y.  They were married 1897 & 1935, respectively.  Don't know where yet.
Sounds related ??    Mary Barrie at Headlesscross - b. 4 Jun 1768 @ Carluke,
she was 99.         Thanks again.    --Raybar

Hi Lodger –   I’ve noted the fantastic services you’ve done for people and hope that you might be able to help me.

Three generations of Barrie/Barry families raised their children at Bogside, C’nethan, 1690 – 1790s.
John Barrie & Margaret Hamilton had William 1691, Marion 1693, John 1695,
John 1698, Alexr 1701.
Eldest son William & Mary Baillie had John 1733, Jean 1738, Alexr 1741,
William 1743, Mary 1747.
Their eldest son John & Christian Russel had Janet 1761, Mary 1763,
William 1765, Robert 1767, Christian 1769, John 1772.

Mortcloth dues were paid for William’s Alexr 18 Feb 1750,
 & for wife Mary Baillie 7 Jan 1782.
William was a Kirk Elder 1739-1766 & administered funds for the poor,
at least thru 9 Aug 1767.
His dau Mary married an Andrew Story 1774.

John & Christian’s Mary married a John Brownlie 1790;
Robert appears to have married an Isobel Hamilton 1814;
Dau Christian married a William Nisbet 1794, moving to Lanark;
& son John married Mary Forrest, raising his family at Blackhall.

Any info you may have about them, or about Bogside in that period, will be greatly appreciated.
And any suggestions for further research also, although I’ll never be able to get back to Scotland again so it would have to be by remote access.
