Scotland / Re: Nonregistration of events after 1855

Fence Rows was where the mining family's all lived.  My great grandmother had a sweet shop there.  Fence Rows on a lot of certificates for my family.  I notice Susan McArthur has Draffan row on her death certificate and I'm sure it's all the same area.  There was also Fence pit where they would have worked and I have a photo of it somewhere.  If you look at a map it was in Southfield/Draffan area.  Backend was in Coalburn a few miles up the road

I was told 2 stories for name change
 1 was that it sounded too irish and wouldn't get work and the other was that when they came from Ireland a fight broke out in Liverpool and a man died so the names were changed. Who knows whether any are true.
I haven't really tried Irish records. I looked a few years ago and gave up.
 I am friends with a girl called Caroline but her real name is Catherine so maybe it's a common thing to do.

What information are you looking for ? I have certificates from scotlands people for Susan Mackleherrings siblings also census certificates.  I can also have a look to see if I have any information about them in the archives of Lesmahagow as I am a member of the Historical association and have access to some records let me know and I wil try and look.

Hi I have quite a bit of information on the family now.  The Campbell name was always used after they changed it from Mackleherring (think there are about 6 different spellings).  The Boghead mentioned is actually in Hamilton although there is a Boghead near where I live in Lesmahagow.

Hi just discovered this site. This is also my family. Mary McIlhearn was my g g grandmother. Also took a while to find them due to name change. I had been told by s cousin they changed their name as it sounded too Irish so they could get work. I see this post was 15 years ago but would be interested to see if any more information on family as thought there were 10 children but can only find 9
