Hi Chris
Are you able to help with grave for John Graham Stevenson died 1977 and buried at Cadder?

Many thanks in advance
Sandra

Hi Sandra, Im afraid I have not come across a headstone for him. Chris

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

Hi Chris,
           I was wondering if you might know of a Kenneth Anderson Carruthers buried in Old Monkland Cemetery, or perhaps another cemetery closeby? Born and died in 1933. It's a recent discovery and, unfortunately, I'm in the US right now, so I'm unable to make the trip.

Many thanks,
           N.

Hi N

Im afraid hes not buried in St Josephs. I don't have access to other cemeteries.

Hi Chris5856,

That’s some task you’ve undertaken but I’m sure you’ll be getting a buzz out of it, through helping others who are too distant from Glasgow to be able to visit the cemetery in person.

I have family in St. Kentigern’s and would kindly ask if you could post a picture of their headstone if they have one and you come across them in the process of your project.

I have a Robert Docherty and wife Sarah (nee Duffy) in Section 2 Lair 2058, buried 1895 and 1888 respectively. I also have a George Lochrie in section 2 Lair 2587, buried 1906. I am not sure if there will have been headstones at either grave as the family will have been fairly poor but much appreciated if you could confirm if you have found any record of them in your completed Section 2 or if there is no headstone in place.

I also have the following in St Kentigern’s and would be grateful to hear if any readers exploring the various sections below come across any information that would help me.

Section 4 Lair 267 Henry Hughes buried 1921
Section 9 Lair 2573 Robert Docherty and wife Isabella (nee Ferguson) buried 1932 and 1940
Section 10 Lair 651 Robert Girvan and wife Annie (nee O’Hare) buried 1945 and 1932
Section 22 Lair 1430 William Docherty and wife Mary (nee Girvan) buried 1980 and 1974

I live in England now and haven’t had the chance to get up to Glasgow to search for myself.

Im afraid I did not come across Robert & Sarah Docherty. So far Ive either not photographed or have not come across the names you ask for. I will look out for them when I do. Chris
