Lanarkshire / Re: Carluke cemetery?? HALLIDAY
« on: Monday 30 August 10 23:27 BST (UK) »
Hi Ard.
My grandmother was a Halliday and when her last surviving sister died earlier this year, we found an interesting document whilst sorting her belongings. The document detailed the marriage between Thomas Halliday and a sister of William Wallace. I have not had the opportunity to look into this as yet, but it is a fascinating twist to the family name.
My family may well be related to yours as the most recent hail from Benhar (a small mining village that no longer exists) and then from Faldhouse which is 11 miles from Wishaw. I will list the family details that I am aware of and this may or may not bring your search further to life. There are a number of Hallidays in the cemetary in Faldhouse.
G Grandparents - Peter Halliday and Mary Halliday nee Quinn
Children - Margaret Halliday (grandma, born 1 March 1924) and her siblings Peter, Joseph, John, James, Susan, Elizabeth and Mary.
I do hope that this is of use to you. Good luck with your on-going search!
