Cambusnethan Cemetery Grave Search - Part 1

[dixons]

Hi Lodger,

Many, many thanks. This is indeed she as Christopher McSorley was indeed her father and, thanks to you, I now know where she is buried, albeit in common ground.

Sadly, these impoverished mining people couldn't afford layers etc in those days.

The misspelling of her married name is/was not uncommon and may be one of the reasons I've been unable to find any trace of Bridget's death.

Sad to hear that Ron is dead. He was helpful to so many people in his time.

kind regards,

Dixons

How I wish that I had known about this CD when I was last in Lanarkshire (I live near Vancouver, BC).  The task of trying to find a grave in the Cambusnethan Cemetery was quite daunting, having only information of when the death occurred and trying to find graves from a similar time frame...without any success. 

I am looking for burial information for Jessie Craig Bertram Amos who died on August 30,1915 in Chapel, Lanarkshire.  I assume that her burial would have taken place at the Cambusnethan Cemetery as it seems to be the closest one to Chapel & Morningside.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Crookedtail,
The records from around that time were poorly kept, so there is no sign of Margaret or Duncan.
Here's the entry for Robert-
Robert Paterson, miner and pauper, married, Overtown, aged 65 years.
Parents Duncan Paterson and Christina Penman.
Interred in public ground at Cambusnethan cemetery
30th Nov 1876.

So there wont be any headstone I'm afraid.

Regards,
Lodger

Hi,

Bless your heart....you found my gggrandfathers buriel
place....that takes a large burden off of my list....and I
can put him to rest now...and his parent was a ? altho
I had them and suspected it...Thanks for that also...
When  like you said in "common ground" I take it that there
is no stone or marked grave...is that right...
if so is there anyone that would know the exact grave he
is in?

Again thank you soooo much for your reply....Crookedtail
