Cambusnethan Cemetery Grave Search - Part 1

[sancti]

It would depend on what years you are talking about, it could be The Globe, Airbles or if they were RC, St Patricks in New Stevenson

Thanks Sancti- I asked because having never been there I really no sense of the size. My interest would probably be from the 19C mid to late 19C. I doubt RC but at least the couple of names you gave me gives me something to go by!
Thanks again,

Hello Lodger,

Can you please tell me if you have any info in the Cambusnethan Burial Records for an ALEXANDER SCOTT who died 10th March 1868. He died in West Calder but I have checked and there is no record of his burial there. He lived in Cambusnethan at the 1851 Census and his widow Christina was living in Cambusnethan in 1871.

Thanks,
Davie.

Hi Davie,
you're in luck, Alexander and Christina are buried in the Private cemetery adjacent to the old churchyard, it's in an awful condition now but it was a lovely old place until a few years ago.
The lair number is "Private 487".
buried there are the following -

ALEXANDER SCOTT. colliery manager, West Calder, aged 41 years, married.
Parents - William Scott and Margaret Anderson.
Interred 14 March 1868.

CHRISTINA SCOTT.  Wishaw, aged 52 years, widow.
Parents - Robert Ellis and Ann Jamieson.
Interred 18 June 1879.

ELIZABETH ELLIS.  Bothwell, aged 20 months.
Parents - Robert Ellis and Janet Muirhead.
Interred 2 June 1880.

JANET ELLIS, housewife, Midcalder, aged 37 years.
Parents - William Muirhead and Elizabeth Russell.
Interred 4 November 1890.

THOMAS NICOL ELLIS. Shettleston, aged 5 weeks.
Parents - Robert Ellis and Ann Nicol.
Interred 17 December 1891.

JOHN ELLIS.  Tollcross, aged 7 months.
Parents - Robert Ellis and Annie Nicol.
Interred 3 June 1893.

ELIZABETH MOFFAT ELLIS.  Shettleston, aged 11 months.

Interred 11 November 1895.

ANNIE ELLIS.  Housewife, Coatbridge.  34 years, married.

I think you may already have the monumental inscription from the old churchyard for John Ellis and Elizabeth Gardner.

Thanks again Lodger  Yes, I already have the details on John Ellis & Elizabeth Gardner.

Hi Greenpaula, leave it with me, it may take a week or so. There are "millions" of Hoeys in Craigneuk, all related.

Lodger.

Hi Lodger
Anything will be useful - I suspected there were a lot, judging by the number of children my husband's great grandfather had, and the numbers they had in turn!
Look forward to hearing from you,
Greenpaula

Ah Berryhills row! My lot lived there too - Mairs & Stewarts

I have the Cambusnethan MI book and my guys are not in there - not surprised a wee bit fiscally challeneged I think. Do you have access to actual burial records? If so can I send you a wee query?

Thanks

Ann

[Lodger]

Hi Ann, send a query and include maiden surnames. The burial records for the old churchyard only begin in the 3rd quarter of the 19th C.
The records I have for the "new" cemetery end early 1917.

Lodger.

Hi,

This is my first post so please be gentle with me.   

I'm trying to find lair information for an ancestor.  Her death certificate records that she is buried in Cambusnethan New Churchyard.  Her name is Marion McCallum (nee McLean) and she died on 28/03/1857.  Her husband John McCallum died in 1865 and may also be buried there.  Can anyone help? I am going to Scotland this weekend and would like to visit the grave if possible.

Many thanks.
