Lanarkshire / Re: Cambusnethan Cemetery Grave Search

Lodger,

Thank you, once again you have filled in a couple of missing pieces.  You found a missing child that we did not have record of for Adam and Janet Paterson, you also found a missing child of of Francis and Margaret Gormill---I am certain these belong to our family.  I also think these others have some yet unknown connection which I may never be able to establish.

You were right, the two Gormill brothers died after your records.  George died in 1943 and Peter Gormill in 1945. Did they stop keeping cemetery records after 1916-1917 in the Cambusnethan Cemetery, or are the records just not prepared for the computer as of yet?

These name changes are interesting to me in the 1871 census they are listed as Gormill, in 1881 and 91 they are Gormall.  In the US we knew her spelling as Gormill---if they morphed into Gorman another version also.

Thank you also for clarifying that the mine would not have purchased a plot.  These details clarify but also a a piece of richness to the history of the time-sad as it may be.

Thank you for your wonderful findings on the Paterson cemetery location.  I have read some of your entries describing common ground plots for paupers, which I certainly assumed for my relatives. 

I also had mistyped the parents name---Paterson names are swirling about me, and was my error.  Your information is correct.

Since John died relative to a mine accident, would the mine owner provided a grave?

The Bullock family from whom I descend is out of Baldernoch, Scotland---I don't know where that is in relation to Cambusnethan.

Should you ever have a brief moment, could you please check another relative who should be buried there.  Again, a miner and again poor.
Husband: Francis Gormill (Gormil) born in either 1828 or 1824 in Ireland but resided in Cambusnethan.
Wife: Margaret Neilson Gormil born either in 1833 or 1828
My great great great grandmother, Janet Gormil Paterson, was the only one to leave Scotland. Other children Joseph, George, John, Francis, James and Peter all stayed and died in Cambusnethan---I know Peter and George are there as my father has visited the cemetery.

I don't know why it pleased me so that these folks had an actual plot but I am grateful for your information.
