in a nutshell.
John Guy was born 1840 in England, son of John Guy (Caledonina Railway Police Inspector d. 15 October 1872 Wishaw) and (Ellen) Sarah Helen McKenzie.
He married Annabella Robertson Curr 31 December 1861, Dalziel Lanark.Parents William Curr and Mary Blair died 1863.                                                                                                                  William Curr 1871 census living in Carluke with Annabella and sons Henry McKenzie Guy and William Guy. Both children were registered by Curr grandparents.                                                            Annabella applied for poor relief in 1865 as her husband left her.

Annabella, her father and sons travelled to Brisbane in 1877, changed her name to Anna Bailey and  married John Bridges in 1877, (d.1884), had 3 daughters lost 2 and she died in 1891 in Eidsvold Qld. Sons did well in Qld.

Nothing of John Guy till he pays for his mother's burial.
I assumed he must be fairly close and someone told him of Ellen's death. He may have died in England 1896 no proof. His sister Sarah Jane Guy died in 1931. No family member knew where he was, they assumed he went to US.
Lots of secrets in this family.
Thanks

Hi Lodger,
Not much luck at all with gravestones, thanks for looking.
John Guy has been missing since 1865. Would he have buried his mother close to him or is Dalziel just be a cheaper option. Family story said he paid for his mother's grave, he is still a mystery.

I appreciate what you have sent me, thank you very much.

Happy hunting from sunny Queensland

Thank you so much Lodger for the photos. I really appreciate it.

Yes William McIlwraith married Harriet Donnelly daughter of Thomas Donnelly and Sarah Helen Prentice Hyde in G1679.
Harriet McIlwraith died 2nd December 2017, probably buried there too.
 
I understand that cemetery stones also have a life expectancy with the elements and at the mercy of vandals.

Does anyone go to South Dalziel Cemetery? Sarah Helen Guy died 5th January 1888 Motherwell and is buried in South Dalziel. Her son John Guy paid for a headstone. According to Harriet McIlwraith there was a confusion over the death / burial but nothing investigated further.

Thanks for your time
Mandy

Thank you Lodger,
The family tree you see on Ancestry is probably mine, McKenzie and Guy Family Tree.

MARION McLAUGHLIN is correct, her husband was HECTOR McKENZIE, d.1888. Son Alexander paid for the grave. Is there anyone else with her?

MARION WILSON GALLACHER d. 29th October 1964. G1830. Daughter of Marion McLauchlan.

The surname Corcoran is unfamiliar to me. I do have a Thomas Donnelly.
SARAH HELEN (PRENTICE HYDE) DONNELLY d. 30th March 1970, buried 2nd April 1970. G1679
THOMAS DONNELLY d. 26th February 1972.
Daughter HARRIET DONNELLY McILLWRAITTH d, 2nd December 2017 in Carluke. Husband was WILLIAM MCILLRAITH.

I find it odd that there was a report in the paper after Robina McKenzie's death in 1951 that the neighbors paid for a marker and there is nothing there now. Would the grave be reused?

Any photos, the gateway, would be greatly received as I am currently putting a book together for the family as a keepsake. Make some use of all the information I have gathered.

Again, thank you so much.
Mandy

Good morning, I am hoping someone can help me locate a photo of Robina Mckenzie's grave, my Great Grandmother. 
Robina was buried 28th July 1951 aged 67, Cambusnethan Cemetery, G0499. Her husband James McKenzie is in the same grave.
In newspaper reports it is stated that she was so well liked the people put money together and paid for a headstone. My planned trip to Scotland is getting further away.

I also have a mystery burial. Hector Mckenzie died 13 February 1888, 105 Berryhill Rows, Wishaw. The council cannot find a local burial. I don't think he would have been taken too far away for burial. His wife was Marion Wilson McKenzie (later McLauchlan d. Jan 1910 E 1713) and son James McKenzie.

Not sure if any family has headstones in the cemetery.  My other family names are Sarah Jane Guy d. 1931 D1419. Nathaniel Whitehead August 1940 B641 with wife Davina 1927.
Sarah Helen Guy 1888.

Thank you, I appreciate any help,
Mandy from Mackay Queensland, Australia

Hello, appreciate any ideas to find burials. Hector McKenzie died in Wishaw b. 1847 - 13 February 1888 and the Lanarkshire Council have not been able to find his burial. His wife Marion Wilson and son James McKenzie along with his wife Robina are buried in Cambusnethan Cemetery Wishaw. Apparently, Robina was so well liked in the community they paid for a headstone. Are there photos online of the headstones in this cemetery.  Is there way to find Hector? His family home was Dingwall, I can't imagine at that time he would have been taken there for burial.
Thanks Mandy.
