Cambusnethan Cemetery Grave Search - Part 1

[Lodger]

Hello again Mary,

I cannot find any of these people, and I have already given you the details of the 1916 death.

Hi Lodger.

Thanks for answering.

Do you have any idea which other cemetery would be used for people living in Cambusnathan and Motherhill?

Hi Lodger.

Mary,

Cambusnethan old churchyard and adjoining municipal cemetery is the only burial place in the parish, apart from the ancient burial ground at Carbarns, rarely used after the 18th century, apart from estate workers from Wishaw Estate.  The records for that ground are like hens teeth. Unless your family had an old connection with farming in the wishaw area, they wont be at Carbarns.

Motherwell.
There is an ancient parish burial ground, which was still used by old families of Dalziel parish up until the 1950s.
There is another parish burial ground around the now abandoned South Dalziel Parish Church on Windmillhill Street.  Again, mostly old Dalziel families. first internment there would be about 1783, it has been closed for many years now.

The Globe cemetery, opened around 1876 as Dalziel Parish Cemetery.  The Local History Room at Motherwell Heritage Centre has a complete transcript of the excellent records for this cemetery.  The cemetery is now closed I presume, it is so out of the way and has been vandalised.

Airbles Cemetery was opened in 1905 and is still very much in use.  There are excellent records in the care of North Lanarkshire Council.  I think the web site is www.northlan.gov.uk  from there it should be fairly simple to find the proper department.

Hi
I wondered if you could help me with some families who I think are buried at Cambusnethan if not St Patricks New Stevenson they are Leonard ,Slowey and McGlory all between 1920/1930
Thanks

Hi Ree,

I dont have any Cambusnethan records for those dates, sorry.
I don't have anything for St Pat's, the records are all kept at the cemetery as far as I know. No duplicate books at North Lanarkshire council Cemeteries office. Records for St Pat's begin at 1926.

Not so many Leonards in Wishaw, there was one family in Craigneuk, Hugh, Cathie and Margaret.

Quite a clan of them in Shotts, one of them had a bookmakers shop, Michael I think.

I only knew one family named Slowey, one of them, George, was a baker, they lived in the Tinto area of Wishaw.
There was a family of Sloweys lived at 75 Hill Street in the 1920s.

McGlory is a new name to me.

Sorry I couldn't help.

Lodger.

Hi Lodger
Thanks for your reply i wondered if you could find out anything about Margaret Leonard born in Brown Street Newmains in 1890  she had a son Patrick born 1907 in Newmains to Patrick Slowey from Berry Hill in Wishaw (they did not Marry) she went on to Auchentorlie House in Paisley around 1908/09 she later married a Mr Law who died in Hawkshead Aslyum around 1920 (according to poorlaw records) she then Married a Mr Kelly a cooperative van driver in 1926 in a Church in Kinning Park Glasgow she died around 1967 I know she had family at least 2 sons and a daughter
Also I am looking to find the grave on Patrick Slowey born around 1948 he only lived for a few days I think he is buried in Cambusnethan possibly beside Leonards

Thanks Ree
