Carluke cemetery?? HALLIDAY

[ard]

Hello Charlotte (sorry I don't remember receiving a notification of your post) and Tony. I do not have a Wallace in my database (yet) but it is far from complete and unfortunately I am not familiar with the area to get a sense of the different villages but the proximity is promising!)
Do you have any more information on who the parents of your great grandfather Peter Halliday were? So far, in the mining areas in North Lanarksire (Carluke, Cambusnethan, Old and New Monklands, Shotts, Dalziel, Bothwell....) I have found that many of the Hallidays descend from either Robert Halliday (d. 1851) and Margaret Williamson or Archibald Halliday (1786-1840) and Marion Penman. I believe that Robert and Archibald, if not actual brothers, were closely related.(I have found a hypothetical link : if they are brothers, their parents may have been Thomas Halliday and Ann Campbell of Perth... I have no confirmation of this however) If you do find a connection to either of these two families, I will happily share what I have. Cheers.

"Hello.... This is facinating.
I am Lucy Stevenson Halliday (now Topp)
My father was Eric Stevenson Halliday (born 1937)
His parents were Alexander Halliday and Catherine Stevenson
My grandparents lived in Lanakshire, Scotland....

I wonder if we can be related to this clan of Halliday's?"

Hello Lucy, have you got any further on your search. I did forget to mention that there is a Stevenson connection in my family. Elizabeth Blair Dick who married John Halliday was the daughter of Ambrose Dick and Elizabeth Stevenson. Another Halliday/Stevenson union was that of Grizzel Halliday (daughter of Archibald H. and marion Penman) and James Stevenson in the early 1850s. What I've noticed is that the families in these communities tended to be very close knit, and the webs of relations are very interesting. Another thing that I have found very helpful in my research is the Scottish naming patterns that were adhered to at one time. Hope this can be useful to you. (see my previous post about two apparently related Halliday clans.) cheers

Hello ard,  I believe we share the same ggg grandmother Elizabeth Stevenson who married Ambrose  Dick! 
I am pursuing their daughter Mary, my gg grandmother.  Mary married Thomas Baxter in 1846.  She and her husband have a 'daughter' Margaret McIver Baxter on the 1871 census and is listed as being born in Baltimore Maryland USA!!!  Given that she appears 14 years into their marriage, I can only assume that they took her in??
Margaret married Alexander Sutherland in 1881 (Galsgow). Their marriage record indicates Margaret (Maggie's) parents as John McIver (ship steward) and Mary McIver mn: Dick.  It's interesting however that a witness to the marriage is 'Mary Baxter'.
I have been unable to find Margaret's US birth record.  I tried searching incoming/outgoing passenger lists to try to figure out who her parents truly were. 
I'm wondering if you have come across any McIver names in your research so far.

I'm not great on understanding all the ins/outs of this site, so I hope I get a notification if you respond to my post.

I see you are in Canada as am I. 

All the best, M/
