Very useful and interesting information, thank you. I always try to remember to note the source of all the material found. Three children are on the 1951 census James aged 8 (born Cambusnethan); Elizabeth aged 4 (born Shotts) and Ellen aged 2 (born Shotts).

Forgot to ask where you can find the church records. Are they online?
Thank you again.

Thank you for the additional information. Thanks to you I can now confirm that Elizabeth McAlpine (nee French) was the daughter of John French and Elizabeth Lorimer.
The 1851 census shows John French (aged 74yrs) retired Wood Merchant now living in Coltness Bridge, Parish of Shotts. The next entry shows Peter and Elizabeth McAlpine and family living beside him. Peter was born in Greenock and his wife Elizabeth was born in Douglas.

Thanks, Lodger. As you point out the date may have been added wrongly by the engraver.

Thank you, Lodger. Looking at the Lorimer stone if she died in 1840 then she is not the Elizabeth I am looking for as she was alive in 1841. Do you think the date on the stone could be 1850?

Thank you for the links and photographs. On the 1841 census my (possible) ancestors worked at the Coltness Lodge Sawmill. Father's occupation listed as' Sawyer' and son as a 'Wood Merchant'.

I am interested in the history of the Coltness sawmill and the area in general during the 19th century. Does anyone know of any publications perhaps by a local history society that I could purchase?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Hello Lodger,
Do any of the gravestones have names Richard Marshall or Susan Marshall (nee Burns) on them? I am also interested in the transcription on the McAlpine & French gravestone.
Thank you.
