West Lothian (Linlithgowshire) / Re: Burial place (Hanlon family Addiewell/West Calder)

  They lived in Mayfield Row in Carluke, on one side of them was Cornelius O'Neil and family and with them they had boarding James Hanlon and family.   The Hanlons also came to West Calder.

I've photographed Section A as part of my ongoing project photographing all remaining headstones in West Calder Cemetery,

Hi, I'm new to RC and am trying to reply with a quote here. I am interested in the Hanlon families of Addiewell and West Calder (originally from County Donegal, Ireland).

Hi Debra,
You would need to look for Kate's church baptism record as there will be no birth certificate.

If Kate Caroline Hanlon was 26 when she married Joseph Moore McMahen in Melbourne in 1889, that would put her birth at 1862 or 1863. Civil registration (i.e. birth certificates) only started in Ireland in 1864.

Do you know what religion she was? Her marriage and/or burial records could help. That will narrow down which church registers you are looking for.

Hi Jos,
Love the cemetery plan! Could you repost please without the red markup? My interest is John Devlin, born c. 1812, died Oct 1860. Have just learnt that he was buried on 04 Nov 1860 at ward 3, section B, no. 49.

This is from the Whitehaven Cemetery burial register (Nov 1855-Mar1888) which, rather wonderfully, is available free online at Cumbria Archive Service:
https://www.cumbria.gov.uk/archives/online_catalogues/genindexes/indexes.asp

Your plan is just what I was looking for :)

PS burial register says he died age 58, but pretty sure this was 48 (going by 1841 & 1851 census).
