Hi margaret, still no sign of them, although the records from that time are not the best.

Heather...... The John McNeil in West Calder 1881 must be wrong, he was born in Shotts so I assumed he was the son of Malcolm and Catherine. After looking at the 1875 burial I realised the mistake.

Hi Lodger, 

I was a bit worried until you posted that correction that your halo might have been slipping 

Thanks once again for such a comprehensive rundown on this particular branch of the McNeils.  I did find John McNeill's death cert dated 18 Sep 1871 aged 75 at High St Campbeltown...his son Neil was the informant and he was married to Mary Milloy.  His parents were John McNeill, also a Tailor, dec. and Margaret Galbraith, dec.

Until today, I had no knowledge of the islands of Gigha & Islay so have visited various sites that are rich with genealogical information today.  I am positively inundated with McNeill material which will keep me busy for quite some time.

Thanks again, Lodger...the Legend!

Hi Lodger,

I hope you haven't put your 'McNeil cap' away as there just might be a few more I haven't unearthed (not literally!) in the Cambusnethan cemetery yet.

I have found deaths for John and Christina McNeil (nee Ballantyne) who actually died in Motherwell but they were long-time residents of Wishaw and I'm hoping that they were laid to rest in Cambusnethan. 

John McNeil died 14 Nov 1915 aged 69 & Christina died 23 Mar 1923 aged 74.
Their children could be present also - Daniel McNeil who married Janet Lang, Marion McNeil who married Robt Cowan, Janet McNeil who married Samuel Lang and Mary McNeil who married Matthew Lang. 

A son Thomas was killed in action in WWI and I have two others not accounted for - John and Christina.

Any help much appreciated,
Heather.

Hi Heather,

Up to my eyes at the moment, leave it with me. I'll look for John and Christina's internments, doubt if I can do anything about the others without a specific date of death to go on.

In haste,

Lodger.

Hi Lodger,

Just whatever you manage to find is fine and there's absolutely no urgency.  Thanks for your reply & have a good weekend.

Heather.
