Lanarkshire / Re: Are there missing OPR's for Cambuslang? Early 1820's.
« on: Friday 24 April 15 18:46 BST (UK)  »
Hi Joy,

Thanks for the welcome.

Anne, yes i'm decended from William Neilson & Elizabeth Struthers.

I've traced Helen & Marion Struthers;

Marion Struthers married John Wilson 22nd May 1853 in Glasgow. She died 2nd July 1876 in Glasgow. John Wilson (a stone mason) was born 1829 in Glasgow / died 20th May 1890 in Glasgow.

Helen Struthers married John Brown (also a stone mason) on 18th July 1845 in Cambuslang. They had two children born in Rutherglen in 1846 and 1848, but in 1851 John was described as a widow. John Brown was born 1823 in Rutherglen and died 29th May 1887 in Paisley.

I have images of the death certificates if you would like me to forward copies?

I've traced the other children and have found marriage / census and death records for all but James Struthers (I found him in 1851 in Glasgow, but by 1861 his wife was a widow - not sure when / where he died).

As for Agnes Struthers and her parents they were living at Sauchidyke in 1841 but by 1851 i'm pretty sure they must all have died. There's no mention in either East Kilbride / Cambuslang burial records on Scotlands people during that period for any of them - could they have been buried elsewhere or are there gaps in the burial registers?

What sort of information do you have on William and Margaret's children?

Hello,

My gt gt gt grandparents lived in Cambuslang in 1841 and after that date they seem to disappear.
 
They were William Struthers, his wife Margaret Kyle (both born in East Kilbride around 1782) and their daughter Agnes Struthers (born 1815).

I can't find any of them in the 1851 census despite extensive searching. None of them are mentioned in either old parish record deaths for cambuslang and East Kilbride or are registered after 1855 in the statutory death index. I've spent a small fortune viewing death records for Agnes, but so far nothing.

Does anyone have any advice as I seem to have hit a dead end and am getting desperate!

Hi Chris,

I'd really appreciate if you could email images of the gravestone for

Agnes Blackwood died 19/03/1939, and Robert Marshall who died 18/09/1937.

Both buried in Cadder cemetery.

Many thanks, Darren.

Hi Sancti,

Some of my family are buried in Bothwell cemetery, and I notice the surnames are in your list (Hossack / Stevenson, Hossack / Wilson and Hossack / Hopkins). I'd very much appreciate a picture of the gravestones - i've been trying to send a private message but can't.

My email is *

I hope that's OK?
