Had a very pleasant wander around Old Cathcart for a couple of hours.  No need for me to clamber over any walls today as the archaeologists were in and the gate was open for the first time I can recall since I was but a lad.

Spoke to one of the archaeologists and as part of their survey, they are recording the MIs of every stone where they can.  They have scheduled another 3 weekends to complete the work.  The chap I spoke with was unsure where and when the report will be published, or whether it will be available to the public.  I do have an address for the project leader and I'll contact her soon (if not tonight).
The same chap[ tells me he is at stone 200 or so of about 240 in the churchyard - I only counted about 140???

I've jotted down the names of the legible stones for future reference should anyone else be asking.

I was wondering if in your notes for the Cathcart Old Parish cemetery you had any Ewings. In particular, I'm after these two:

• John Ewing, died sometime 1846 - 1849
• Robert Ewing, son of John, died Jan 1849

We couldn't find burial records for them, but they lived in New Cathcart, and given the year it seems like the Old Parish cemetery is the most likely place. I tried contacting the email address what was on the Glasgow University survey sign, but looks like it's no longer active
