Cambusnethan Cemetery Grave Search - Part 1

[Lodger]

Hi Abigail,
The only thing I could come up with is a burial for a Thomas Moffat but I don't know if it is the one you are looking for.

THOMAS MOFFAT, coalminer, residence - Carluke.
Parents - James Moffat and Mary Douglas.
Interred in the old churchyard in common ground, 24th Aug 1877.

Thank you so much Lodger,

I am sure that is our Tom!

Much appreciation

Merry Christmas to you and yours

So sorry Abi, the entry also read "aged 53 years, status - married".

[Abigail2]

 

Thanks again Lodger, that is exactly the right age.

Just a thought - Tom's wife may be listed under "Jean" Moffatt/Stewart 

Very glad to know Tom's resting place!

Again, many thanks

No, I would have picked-up on that, Jane and Jean are synonymous in Scotland. The records I have are not complete, she may well be buried in Cambusnethan but she's not in the years that I have records for.

Thanks again Lodger,

Just great  to know where Tom is after all this time

All the best for 2010

Cambusnethan old churchyard
Is there any Nisbet (any spelling) mentioned there?

Thanks

[Lodger]

Can you tell me a little more than just a surname?
Perhaps a first name and a female maiden surname to cross-check with?

[norwayjean]

I am looking for Nisbet and trying fit them together taking there is more than one of these family members there. Am researching and trying to correct a family genealogy published back in 1916

Specifically I do know that Anne Nisbet a spinster is buried there Her will said
"Wishes to be buried Old Church Yard of Cambusnethan in spot where her “niece Mary Ann Nisbet was interred and a monument be erected over it with this inscription “Sacred to the descendants of Archibald Nisbet Esquire of Carfin, and Emilia Stuart daughter of the Honourable Archibald Stuart of Duncearn second son of James Earl of Moray”

I have no idea how this niece fits in

I also have her sister married to Captain James Sinclair-LOCKHART (b.abt.1736) Esq of Castlehill ,  that I believe is probably also buried there- The genealogy for them that I have found says he was married to Anne but my information says MARY EMELIA
 Believe other Nisbet family members may also be buried there
Any help  at all is appreciated
Thanks from Norway

Forgot to say she Ann died in 1833 and her sister in 1830 her niece I have no idea
