Hi Sandra,
Welcome to Rootschat.  The records I have here end at 1917, so I can't look for the burial of Maria Keenan, sorry. If you have the parents names for Patrick I could have a look for him.
What I did find is the burial of one of their children.

PATRICK DONNELLY.  Wishaw, aged 11 months.
Parents - Patrick Donnelly and Maria Keenan.
Interred in public ground, 21st May 1878.

What you should do is look for the birth of this child, it should give his parents date and place of marriage in Ireland.

I checked the 1881 census.

(1881 - 628 - 20 - 30).

20 Berryhill Front Row, Wishaw.

All surnames are Donnelly, apart from the last.

PATRICK, head of house, iron worker, married, aged 36 years, born Ireland.
MARIA, wife, married, aged 36 years, born Ireland.
MARY, daughter, unmarried, aged 17 years, born Ireland.
JOHN, son, aged 15 years, born Ireland.
BRIDGET, daughter, aged 12 years, born Ireland.
MICHAEL, son, aged 8 years, born Newmains, Cambusnethan.
ELIZABETH, daughter, aged 6 years, born Newmains.
CATHERINE, daughter, aged 6 months, born Wishaw.
PATRICK GILHOOLY, lodger, aged 35 years, unmarried, labourer, born Ireland.

So, the 1901 census works out right, the parents are still alive and their younger children are with them.

Hello Lodger - I have just come across this post through another members request for a Halliday look up. I am also related to Halliday in this area. Some of my relatives were buried in other cemeteries such as Carluke but some in Cambusnethan.

For some I have the burial info but not the greater picture (such as who else was buried along with)

If you could help me with any of these, I'd be most grateful. My pilgrimage to Scotland is still several years away!

JAMES DICK, moulder, Wishaw, unmarried, aged 59 years.
Parents - Ambrose Dick and Elizabeth Stevenson.
Interred 3rd Nov 1880.


JOHN HALLIDAY, coalminer, aged 69 years.
Parents - John Halliday and Elizabeth Dick.
Interred 18th Oct 1916.
Owner of plot -
Elizabeth Anderson or Halliday (2nd wife; he was previously married to Elizabeth McLennan)
grave 1502 section A of new Cambusnethan cemetery


ROBERT HALLIDAY
Parents - John Halliday and Elizabeth Dick.
Interred 15th Dec 1916
and
his wife MARY HALLIDAY,
Parents - William Allan and Jane Smith.
Interred 17th Feb 1914. Cambusnethan, Section C plot No.73


Maybe (I don't have where buried)

1875 Deaths Cambusnethan Parish in Lanark County.
Elizabeth Halliday, widow of John Halliday, coalminer
February twentieth
Ambrose Dick, Iron Moulder, (deceased)
Elizabeth Dick, M.S.. Stevenson (deceased)

JOHN HALLIDAY, coalminer, aged 69 years.
Parents - John Halliday and Elizabeth Dick.
Interred 18th Oct 1916.
Owner of plot -
Elizabeth Anderson or Halliday (2nd wife; he was previously married to Elizabeth McLennan)

Also, I'm really not sure which cemetery they are buried in but they lived in the same general area so if you come across LEGGAT;

James Leggat : about 1817-1880 I think and wife Jane  Frew about 1823 - 1901 I think

Isabella Frew maybe earlier than Jane and William Deans...

ALSO

Isabella Frew Leggat b 1844 and  husband William Watson b.1840
Janet  Leggat  b1855 and husband William Ferguson b 1854


I realize that is a lot to ask and I have no idea how much trouble but any help is appreciated!

cheers

 I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR THIS HELP.
20 BERRYHILL ROW HOLDS THE KEY-IS IT STILL THERE?
PATRICK WAS A FURNACE WORKER-WHAT WOULD THE WORKS HAVE BEEN? ARE THERE ANY PICTURES?
I HAVE AN INTERRMENT NUMBER FOR MY FAMILY.
PLOT E1273 AND I HAVE THE MAP-BETWEEN WISHAW AND NEWMAINS?

THERE ARE 2 OTHER PEOPLE BURIED IN THE PLOT
MC CONVILLE  ISABEL AND PATRICK
SINCEPATRICK AND MARIA  DIDNT HAVE A DAUGHTER CALLED ISABEL-BUT THEY HAD A GIRL CALLED ELIZABETH....... COULD THIS BE A CHANGE OF NAME OR IS THIS LADY  ONE OF MARIAS SISTERS?
 PATRICK AND MARIA WERE MARRIED IN CO. LONGFORD IN 1862.
ANY INFORMATION WOULD BE WONDERFUL.

[ard]

just musing....
I had my gg grandmother's sister's family  that also lived at Berryhill row [ 1881  Margaret, nee Halliday and David Littlejohn] - I'm also finding it amazing how many surnames in this topic are related in one way or another to my family lines - doing research of Cambusnethan ancestors, I really get a sense that there are very intricate family webs involved!

He is in Section C No.73.
Others in that grave are -

------------

I have no other entry for Section A N0.1502 apart from John Halliday 1916. But the records I have end at 1917.

I only have burials in common ground for 1875, sorry.

No Leggat 1880 and no Frew circa 1901.

To make a search I have to have parents names, can't search with spouses names, sorry.

Lodger.

Sandra,
Berryhill Rows have long gone, dont know where Patrick was employed, sorry.
If you want to know who the McConvilles are, the cemetries office at North Lanarkshire Council in Bellshill should be able to tell you their parents names (if known) by sending the plot number and section. Google NLC for the link.

Cambusnethan cemetery is between Wishaw and Newmains, easy to find.

good luck,

Lodger.

Thanks for looking Lodger - a bit of a mish mash of family members but all identifiable, including baby McPhail!

I was hoping that I could possibly find out the parents for James Leggat and Jane Frew but alas - not this way! Would you happen to know which cemetery would be connected to Dalziel/Motherwell... or perhaps there are several....

cheers,
