hi just seen your note a year late but hey whats a year when we are talking 150 i stay in carluke the old cemetry as swally says are both the same Thomson street is the gate into the graveyard and it runs along Carnwath road the only other graveyard in Wilton Road
and it isnt that old. CArluke historical society have the South Lanarkshire cemetry records on disc and they are based in Hamilton Street
Carluke ML8 4HA I paid a visit to old yard o few weeks ago and the stones that are there are not good. looking at the small amount left we must have buried the dead in the back gardens because the yard is not over flowing. We are from the Dicks mid 1800 miners
from kilncadzow which comes under Carluke although a few miles from the actual town. They mined the limeworks in that area now the area in mostly farm land no mines to be seen. We are from the Dicks roughsdyke farm Braehead David Dick being the father, I have researched this line so if can be of help let us know. Hallidays are still in carluke. There were alot of Dick families in CArluke at that time and dont seem to be related. As i said the miners came from Braehead about 4 miles from Kilncadzow and the other families were Mill owners the mill still stands. Happy hunting
