Hi

I'm new to this, however, im interested to know my roots and where i came from. I have been to Cambusnethan Cemetery and found a few graves relating to the surname in question but i need to know if they are related to me in any way?

Pettigrew -

My Papa died in July 1996 - John McCrindle Rankin Pettigrew. He was born in Oct 1906.
I have been told my Papa became an orphan at a young age and his parents died in Largs, however, i'm not sure how true this is. My Papa is not buried at the cemetery

My mother died in 2001 and her middle name was McCrindle (shes not buried at cemetery). I found a grave yesterday -
In memory of Elizabeth McCrindle (Pettigrew), wife of Robert Pettigrew. She died 29 June 1917.
Robert Pettigrew died 22 June 1923.

Were they my Papa's mum and dad?

My papa had a sister called Maisie and a brother called James. I'm not sure if there were an other children.

I know one large lair belongs to my Great Great Papa (my papa's grandparents) -

James and Margaret Pettigrew.
This was in memory of their children -
Thomas W Pettigrew d 27 Nov 1885, aged 6 month
John R Pettigrew d 27Feb 1895, aged 17 years
Thomas Pettigrew d 29 Mar 1900, aged 7 years
also the said James Pettigrew d 20 Sept 1911, aged 63 years
Jessie  Pettigrew Robertson d 17 Aug 1923, aged 28 years
and the said Margaret Pettigrew d 20 Sept 1930, aged 76 years
also eldest daughter Catherine Bell Pettigrew d 17 Jan 1952, aged 69 years
and Thomas Pettigrew died at Monkland Mill, Oct 1909 (think 35 or 65 years?)

Found another grave for James Pettigrew who died 25 Feb 1950, aged 45 years but i dont think this may be a relation.

My Papa was married to a Jean Gibb (not buried in cemetary), however, her parents Peter and Mary Gibb and buried there with their daughter. I also believe my mothers aunt, is buried in the same lair but her name doesnt appear on the headstone.

Can you please look into this for me, as I would like to know where my Papa's parents are buried. As he became in orphan. He wil born in Roberts Street.

Many Thanks for your help
