Lanarkshire / Re: kelly's in shotts

I am very, very, late arriving at this thread.
I am keen to link up with 'Janettepain' and 'edinburgh86' as I am distantly related to both.
Mary Jane Lamont was my GreatGrandfather's Sister. His name was John Lamont (1840-1905) and he lived in or near Ballycastle, in North Antrim. He is buried in Culfeightrin Church, near Ballycastle.
My records indicate that John was born in the Mull of Kintyre while his sisters, Catherine b.1842, Mary Jane b.1847 and Rose Ann b.1847 (?) were born in Airdrie. Another sister, Margaret b.1849 (died 1855), as well as brothers, Daniel b.1852, Francis b.1857 and Bernard b. 1855 were born in Shotts. Some or all died in Omoa Square.
If anyone has anything to add or correct, please let me know. I think that some of these dates may not be accurate, but have yet to check them on the extensive (and impressive) Scottish resources online.
I will be returning to my study of my Scottish roots shortly; I am currently entangled in another breach of the family.
I would be interested in hearing from anyone with links to Shotts in the years 1840 - 1905.
many thanks.
John
