Cambusnethan Cemetery Grave Search - Part 1

[Lodger]

Hi Jokdy,

The records are scanty for 1861 and he's not in the ones I have. Found his wife though, also a son.

ISABELLA BROWNLIE. Housewife, Cambusnethan, aged 75 years, widow.
Parents - John Paton and Jane Percy.
Interred in old churchyard 11th September 1876.

WILLIAM BROWNLIE. Clerk, Glasgow, aged 44 years, married.
Parents - John Brownlie and Isabella Paton.
Interred in old churchyard 10th April 1869.

No monumental inscription for these burials and no records either.
There is information on siblings of Isabella Paton, do you need this? Let me know.

Thanks Lodger...it would seem someone has taken the Oct 1861 from the fact one of his daughters married in Oct 1861 and he's stated as deceased on the marriage entry      so his death is anywhere between 1851 and 1861.

Thanks for the info about William, I hadn't been able to track down his year of death yet.

I currently have no siblings for Isabella Paton so would appreciate any info you may have.

Jokdy,

So sorry, they are not Isabella's siblings at all. They are, at least one of them anyway, children of John and Isabella.

ISABELLA MORTON. Hartwood Asylum, aged 85 years, widow.
Parents - John Brownlie and Isabella Paton.
Interred in old churchyard 18th May 1907.

Also the following - wrong father but I think it could be a transcription error.

MARY BROWN. Housewife, Wishaw, aged 73 years, widow.
Parents - George Brownlie and Isabella Paton.
Interred in old churchyard 4th February 1909.

There are burial records for this Brown family. The plot was owned by William Brown and Mary Brownlie.
All dates are of internment.
In the South lair -
SUSAN B LITTLEJOHN, aged 8 months, 30th June 1896.
BEATRICE LITTLEJOHN, aged 17 months, 23rd March 1900.
In the Centre lair -
MARY BROWN, aged 73 years, 4th February 1909.
In the North lair -
WILLIAM BROWN, aged 2 years, 26th September 1898.
ROBERT BROWN, aged 4 years 9 months, 25th October 1905.

There is also a monumental inscription for this plot - The stone is (or was) an obelisk.
"Erected by William Brown and Mary Brownlie in memory of their son John Y Brown who died 15th May 1865 aged 8 years.  Their daughter Mary M Brown who died 21st April 1867 aged 6 years. Their son John who died 25th September 1869 aged 1 year and their son Robert who died 19th October 1869 aged 11 years".

Hello Lodger,

A while back you gave me the following info on Ellis internments in Cambusnethan -

"the Cambusnethan burial register has Annie's parents as John Jamieson and Christina Cree. She was interred in the old churchyard (presumably with her husband) on 19th May 1868. The lair owners were Annie Jamieson and Richard Ellis.
Also interred in that lair were -
Robert Ellis aged 48 years - 4th Sept 1895.
Elizabeth W E Telfer aged 2 years - 20th Oct 1881.
Richard Ellis aged 60 years - 27th Feb 1891."

I have been trying to find out who this Robert Ellis was. There does not appear to have been a death of a Robert Ellis around this date and I have no record of a Robert born about 1847 on my tree. However the lair owner Richard had a brother Robert born about 1938 who died 20 May 1886 in the Poorhouse Motherwell, making him about 48 at the time of his death. Would it have been possible he was re-interred in 1895 or is this more likely to be an error with the date?

Thanks,
Canisp

Hi Davie,
The old churchyard records show the burial for Robert Ellis as 22nd May 1886 aged 48 years.
others interred in the same plot are -
ELIZABETH W E TELFER, aged 2 years. 20th October 1881.
RICHARD ELLIS, aged 60 years. 27th February 1891.

There is a monumental inscription for this plot -
"Robert Ellis died 18th November 1851 aged 60 years, husband of Annie Jamieson".

Plot owners were Annie Jamieson and Richard Ellis.

Lodger.

Hi Lodger,
I have a John Prentice married to Agnes Courtney/Courteney who died 28/3/1890 in Motherwell and is reputed to be buried in the 'Auld Manse' Cemetery, Dalziel Estate. Does your databank have this cemetery and if so can you please confirm this burial.
I also have several of John Prentice grandchildren that are supposed to be buried in this cemetery.
Appreciate any information
Max.
