Hi
Thanks will get back to you about Stonehouse. We had sunshine all the time we were at Cambusnethan, the rain started after we had lunch in the carpark.

Forsythe/Taylor

Hi Lodger,

My Canadian friends & I visited Cambusnethan Cemetery today. We found several of the tombstones you had inscriptions for. Sadly some were in the fenced off area but a kindly gravedigger went & looked for us but to no avail. I guess like many other sandstone tombstones they have eroded or  fallen down. However my friends were very moved by their experience.

I would suggest that other folk looking for old tombstones do so quickly as many are so badly eroded that they will be illegible soon especially in the private part as the ivy is growing over the stones in the wall.

Thanks for all your help. Have to do the same at Stonehouse & Lesmahagow now.

Hi Lodger,
Thanks so much for all that information. My friend in Canada will be amazed at all this. She is coming over next month, so a trip to the cemetery is now definitely on.
There wouldn't be anything for Robert Forsyth & Elizabeth Houston. I doubt it from reading previous replies regarding timelines for info available.
I have used roots chat for my own family , tracing people in Bermuda. There are so many people out there with lots of help for which I and others are very grateful. Thanks again
