So sorry Seeking Family...

I can hardly believe it myself but this is one Inglis family I haven't come across in my research.  I hope someone else researching the Inglis family comes across your post and sends you a message.  Best of luck.

Sage

Thank you Sage for taking the time to check and your good wishes. I'll keep my finger crossed, because I found a post from 2013 regarding the Braidhurst Rows Motherwell and the person they were researching is my grandmother's sister. Unfortunately I have had no response from that original post and given the time between then & now it's a fair chance that I may not. I can but hope.

Again thank you very much for all your encouragement.
Warmest Regards
Seeking Family

Hi Seeking Family and welcome to RootsChat...

My in-laws have Inglis on both sides of the family so I've done a lot of research on the Inglis families in the area.  I have more than one Alexander Inglis...do you have a maiden name for Agnes so that maybe I can identify the family you're searching for.  Will help if I can.  :)

Thank you for your quick response. Yes the Scottish tradition of naming children after parents can be very confusing indeed.  My Alexander was born in 1865 and Agnes's maiden name is Archibald. I think her birthdate is around the same as Alexander.
I appreciate any additional information you may be able to give. Regards Seeking Family

Hi Gail,

I'm pleased you've found a new stomping ground.  :) If you should come across any 'INGLIS' headstones I would be most interested.

Thanks also to Colin for taking the time out to take some 'happy snaps'...it's really very sad that this cemetery is so unkempt, unloved and allowed to be desecrated in this way.  I imagine that it was quite a stately and dignified place to inter the dearly departed in its day and I suppose being off the beaten track has quite a bit to do with it's now dilapidated state.   ::)

Great to see the weather's okay and you can get out and about for a stroll in Motherwell!

Sage.

Hello Sage,

Am very new to this site so I hope I am sending this correctly.....I note you mentioned "Inglis" headstones in the above quote......I had great grandparents Alexander & Agnes Inglis living in Braidhurst Rows around 1900 - 1910 when they migrated to Australia with 7 children. I know they had another 2 sons die before then.....could be buried in Globe? Is there a family connection with you? Hope to hear from you Regards, Seeking Family

Thank you everyone.... re. Braidhurst Rows.
With all your information I was able to almost pinpoint  Braidhurst Rows on the current map.
My dear old grandmothers shabby childhood tenement home has been replace by attractive housing.
My grandmothers name was Margaret Inglis..
Parents were Alexander and Agnes.
Alexander was a lampman in one of the colleries.
He was born about 1865.
Alexander and my gran came to Australia about 1910, Maggie was 14.
He worked coal mines in Cessnock NSW and they prepared housing for the rest of the family to arrive Oz 6 months later.
Thanks again for all your help...Best regards...Bob White
