Cambusnethan Cemetery Grave Search - Part 1

[Lodger]

Tazpants,
Do you have any info on the Sneddons or turners?
does Gardner Turner ring any bells?

WOW. You are an absolute gem. Like others have said you have opened new doors of info that i didn,t know before. And so quick too.
The Turners and Sneddons i haven,t delved into yet as these come through on my Mothers side a few generations back.
Thank you so much for the photo too. I take it this is still visitable even with all the damage ? Would love to find the lair.
Thank you so much again for your fantastic help.

Ps. Just found Williams death on Scotlands People and it seems he died of a fractured skull and scalp wound   (obviously as a result of an accident). There is a RCE but it doesn,t provide anymore info.

Tazpants, the picture was taken last year, so it will look much the same - apart from the 4 feet of snow at the moment!
I don't know if a lair plan has survived for this ground, I'll try and find out.

Tazpants,
A picture of the Cocket Hat, this area covered both sides of the street (Kirk Road) and was probably taken in the 1890s. No street lighting and no tram lines.
The houses on the right, tenement buildings (or Lands) probably date from 1860 - 1890. Note the chimneys on the one at the back, a very Lanarkshire style, at the bottom of the roof facing the street.

Fantastic. Thanks so much Lodger. Just as an aside the family in question lived at 303 Kirk Rd, which looking at google maps is still there today.
Once the better weather comes in i will make a search of the cemetery to see if i can find the lair.

Hi Lodger,

Hoping you can help me with a Paterson family from Wishaw also.  Mary Paterson (nee McNeil) married James Paterson.  She died 25 May 1901 in Wishaw and James predeceased her sometime btwn 1881 & 1891.  Mary was the daug of Andrew McNeil & Christina Wharrie.  James is said to be the son of John Paterson & Agnes McBride.
I'd also be interested to find any children born to James & Mary Paterson (nee McNeil).

With thanks,
Heather.

Hi Lodger,

I've come across a couple of Armit/Sleith connections and wondered if you would have any burial records for family of James Sleith & Agnes Smith. 

Their son John died 25 Feb 1919...would there be any burial records for children born to he and his first wife Agnes Pollock.  She died 16 May 1894 in Newmains and was the daug of Alexander Pollock & Isabella Anderson.

With thanks,
Heather.

Hi Lodger, I came across this request (page 29) that must have skipped your attention and thought I'd bring it to your attention.

Cheers, Heather.
