Hello Forfarian, I am new to this and the website isn't the easiest to navigate. So, the rules are don't post the same question on two different threads....message understood.

Thanks Forfarian, I know about Scotland's people. As I said there have been discrepancies over the years and I was interested to know what the burial ledger said

Hello Lodger, Brilliant! Thank you very much.

I've worked out where the McKendrick's fit in. My Dad,who recently passed away always said there was only one Nisbet family in Newmains and Carluke that he knew of, I didn't believe him, think now was right, they're all connected I still have to work out quite how.

I have a question,
Adam Nisbet,in plot 30, low public died age 94, does it say who his parents were? I've had discrepancies over the years. Quite an age to live to then and that's what's on his death certificate, "old age". Lived quite a life, guarded the dungeons at Edinburgh Castle and was at the Battle of Waterloo amongst other escapades.

Hello Lodger,
WOW! this is exactly what I'd wished for! So glad I found this website.
I have been dealing with another source of information and it's been like drawing hen's teeth.
I do know a lot of the people named but it's going to take me a while to study all this and get it straight who's who.
The lair owned by Elizabeth Aikenhead (buried as Elizabeth Nisbet 1889) and Thomas Morton (brother in law) contains one of my grandmother's brother's, Robert Nisbet died Carluke from measles and the others are related on the Aikenhead side.
I did not know about McKendrick's. This is something I will have to look into.
I knew from an old letter written by my grandmother there were many Nisbet's buried in Cambusnethan but I did not appreciate there were quite so many bodies in each lair. Also contained in this letter was a reference to photos that existed of several of them, my gran had seen them, they probably don't exist now but I live in hope.
I see Philip Baird is here,husband of Francis Nisbet, he was in and out of Gartnavel Asylum for years, I have some of his records from that time if of interest to anyone.
I am coming back to Scotland in a few months to visit my mother and hoping to go to Cambusnethan, how would I locate the lairs especially if there are no stones? Keep me posted if you  manage a walk round the Cemetery.

Thank you so much for all this,
Chuffed to bits!!!!

I am new to roots chat, been researching Nisbet's Cambusnethan for many years.
Hoping to make a visit to Cambusnethan Cemetery this year.

Looking for Surname Nisbet, I know many are buried there.
Have the location on Adam Nisbet d 1879 & Margaret Nisbet d 1869...Lair Low Public 030.
I am thinking this may be a pauper's grave?
Also Peter Nisbet d 1873 and Elizabeth Aikenhead Nisbet d 1889.... Lair OGY B07-01.

Any help or any other Nisbet graves there gratefully received.
