Lanarkshire / Re: FAIRVIEW, near Airdrie?
« on: Friday 25 March 16 14:36 GMT (UK)  »
An ancestor's birth at Fairview was registered in 1863 in the "Landward of New Monkland in the County of Lanark".

As I am unable to locate Fairview on a copy of an Ordnance map which was revised about 1895, I am wondering if someone is able to tell me where to find this place. I suspect that it was in the vicinity of Clarkston and Drumgalloch.

Also would "Landward" be another name for Parish, perhaps?

I have just seen this post though I realise it is quite old.
My great grandfather was Thomas Allan Craig (born 1855 in New Monkland). He married Jane Richmond and then Margaret Richmond and lived in Fairview, Colliertree Road, Airdrie. I believe it is in the Clarkston area of Airdrie. He had 16 children with Jane and a further 3 with Margaret. His parents were William Craig and Margaret Allan. Any use?

I look forward to your comments.
