Cambusnethan Cemetery Grave Search - Part 1

[Rena]

Lodger,  would you like the New Monkland Mortcloth Records, M to Z, I just ordered them to check for rellies but nae luck!  Skoosh.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I read there's a surviving mortcloth record !!!

 I'm looking for any McKenzie/Mackenzie and Cameron burial records. I know one Mackenzie/Mackenzie family originated up in Ross & Cromarty then moved south, possibly in late 1700's. don't know where the maternal Mckenzie/Cameron family originated.

I'd appreciate your time - thank you

Rena

Rena,  I'm afraid I've given the book away as none of my lot were in it.  You can get it from the Scottish Genealogy Society at £5 each + p&p, the books run A to Max & Mc A to Z. The contact is

Hi, my first post here!

I'm trying to locate the lair no. of Daniel McFarlane d. 3 January 1899 in Wishaw.  I assume he's in Cambusnethen.

Any help is much appreciated

He isn't in the Day Book for 1899 so, if he is buried in Cam'nethan it looks as though he may have had a pauper's burial and I don't have the details of those for that year.
Can you give me some more info? Parents names, especially mother's maiden surname would be a big help.

Lodger.

Thanks for the quick reply Lodger.

Daniel McFarlane was born about 1829 in Airdrie, New Monklands and died 3 January 1899 in Wishaw.  His parents were Neil McFarlane and Margaret McIntosh but, unfortunately, I don't know anything other than their names.
I don't know that Daniel McFarlane was buried at Cambusnethan but assumed as he lived in Wishaw.

Daniel married Margaret Gold (born between 1829-1835 Rigside, Douglas and died 3 February 1904 in Wishaw) on 3 February 1891 at 92 Gloucester St, Glasgow.  Any info on Margaret's burial place would be great also.  In 1891 Daniel and Margaret were living in an Alice Lee Cottage on Glasgow Road, Wishaw which had "five windowed rooms".  In the latter part of his life he seems to have developed a talent for poetry, publishing at least two books, which I hope would mean he did not have a pauper's burial.

Any information on the above people would be much appreciated as I thought I'd hit a brick wall with my research.

Thanks again

Albagubrath,

I've had a good search of all the records I have and can't find anything for Daniel or his wife and children, sorry. My guess is that they perhaps opened a lair in another place, perhaps for a child and they have gone into that.

I found a burial for someone who may be Daniel's sister. Unfortunately no mother's name is given.

ELLISON BROWN, housewife, Uddingston, aged 75 years, widow.
Father - Neil McFarlane.
Interred in the Private Ground No.543. 28th June 1883.

The only other thing I found was in the 1893 Wishaw Directory. Daniel was a bottler. He must have had a small factory as the directory didn't list "rank & file" people.
See link below.

Lodger.

Thanks Lodger. I did use every single one of your references in my family tree from back in April. The Isabella Little and William Nicol I am referrring to go back even farther...but if you have given me all that there is in Cambusnethan thank you so much for all your help. We have travelled back to Wishaw from Canada a number of times and been to the graveyard several times - yes even behind the wires and barricades and once in the dead of night- but you have given us way more information through this rootschat site.   So here isa bit more info on my dead ends - and if there is nothing else there I will try some other sources. Thanks a million times over!

Helen THOMSON b. circa 1788 d. 20 July 1864, aged 76

Thanks for looking Lodger.  This has saved me a great deal of time and effort which would probably have ended in me getting nowhere fast!
The search goes on...
