Cambusnethan Cemetery Grave Search - Part 1

[Lodger]

Hi Cayley,

I've had a good look at the records I have for Cambusnethan. The trouble is there were SO many Lindsays from many different families.
There are 2 adjoining monumental inscriptions in the old churchyard that are very possibly for your Lindsays. There are 2 set of burial records to correspond with the headstones but the problem is, the burial records only begin in the mid-1870s.
The first inscription is from a very simple marker stone, the date is usually the date that the stone was erected, or of the first internment (which would make it a very late date for this couple).
It reads - "1826 John Lindsay and (unreadable) Robertson".
The burial records for this plot says the owners were John Lindsay and Jean Robertson.
Buried here are - (all dates are of internment)
MARGARET SHERIDAN. Aged 23 years. 16th February 1910.
GEORGE SHERIDAN. Aged 72 years. 28th January 1901.
THOMAS C SHERIDAN. Aged 8 months. 23rd January 1906.
MARGARET SHERIDAN. Aged 76 years. 27th January 1923.
WILLIAM POTTER. Aged 9 months. 13th September 1899.
ANNIE POTTER. Aged 3 months. 13th February 1905.

So you see, this family plot was in use for about 100 years and it will, no doubt, be full to the brim! At a guess, I would say that Margaret Sheridan's maiden surname was Lindsay. (the one aged 76)

The second stone (next to the first one) has the inscription -
"Christina Cunningham died 30th November 1838 aged 63 years. Her husband John Lindsay died July 1842 aged 72 years. Their daughter Marion died 13th February 1877 aged 57 years. Their daughter Margaret died 25th December 1888 aged 83 years. Their son William died 29th January 1891 aged 80 years".

The records for this plot are as follows -
Owner is John Lindsay.
Buried here are - (all dates are of internment)
WILLIAM LINDSAY. Aged 80 years. 2nd February 1891.
CATHERINE LINDSAY. Aged 83 years. 29th December 1910.
MARGARET LINDSAY. (No age). 21st October 1933.
MARGARET LINDSAY. Aged 83 years. 28th December 1888.
WILLIAM LINDSAY. Aged 41 years. 27th November 1907.

There is a third plot with no headstone but it is next to the others.
Owners are - "Margaret Lindsay, William Bulloch and Jane Lindsay".
Buried here are -
MARGARET LINDSAY. Aged 77 years. 21st October 1933.
JESSIE BULLOCH. Aged 67 years. 3rd November 1902.

Just the 2 names and there seems to be some confusion as to where Margaret Lindsay who died 1933 is buried.

The only other burial I could find is this one from the book of paupers burials.
MARION LINDSAY. Laundry Maid, Glasgow, aged 57 years, single.
Parents - John Lindsay and Christina Cunningham.
Interred in the old churchyard, 16th February 1877.

I feel sure there will be more Lindsays in Cambusnethan for you but I need spouses names to match up with them.

If you find any more names get in back in touch and I'll see what else I can do.

Lodger.

Hi Lodger,

Many thanks for your speedy reply with info. on Cullen & Caine. It has given me more names which I didn't have - a bonus. Keep up the good work.

Regards,

Anne.

Hi Lodger
If you have the time please could you check if the following Hoeys are buried in Cambusnethan -
Mary Hoey died Jan 26th 1883 age 76, widow of Patrick, mother of Edward.
Catherine Welsh nee Hoey, died Jan 3 1874 age 63. Widow
(both the above died in Rosehall but some of their family were living in Wishaw by this time and they do not seem to be buried at Old Monkland)

Catherine Ann Hoey born 1861 died between 1871 and 1873 daughter of Edward and Catherine.
Bernard Hoey born 1871, died November 4th 1872 aged 17 months son of Edward and Catherine
(these two children died in Craigneuk)

Catherine Hoey (Kate) nee Milligan died on February 8th 1901 aged 44 in Bellshill. Wife of John
John Hoey - a long shot this one. He was born in 1855 and was still living in 1901 census in Bellshill. I cannot find a death for him.

Grateful for any help or advice

Hi Pauline,
Not much luck I'm afraid, the only one I found was one of the children.

BERNARD HOY. Wishaw, aged 17 months.
Parents - Edward Hoy and Catherine Higgins.
Interred in public ground 5th November 1872. (Pauper burial)

Although there are "millions" of Hoeys in Craigneuk now, they are thin on the ground before 1900.
The only other Hoeys in the early burials were children of Own Hoy and Ann McDonagh in the 1860s.

Hi Lodger
Thanks so much for looking.
One is better than none at all, another little piece of the jigsaw to fit in 
Our Hoeys were in Wishaw by 1864 and had arrived in Craigneuk by 1881 when they lived in Shieldmuir Cottage, Craigneuk. Later the area seemed to be called Hoey's Buildings or Hoeys land as they appear to have taken over a whole street. You're right about millions of them - I can't keep up now with the OH's cousins, and families are smaller now than they were then!
Thanks again

Pauline, here is a scan of the 1911 Motherwell directory, it covers Craigneuk.

Hi Lodger
that's fantastic thank you so much!
There's Matthew's grandmother and 4 great uncles all listed. My grandchildren will be well impressed with this!
Thank you for the time you spend helping us all on this Board

Hi Lodger
Me again! Your mention of children of Owen Hoey/Hoey and Ann McDonnach sent me scurrying to my 'unproven' but potential family records.
I have Owen and Ann marrying in 1854 and I have birth records for a James in 1857, a possible Mary in 1859, Catherine 26/3/1864 and twins John and Mary 2/6/1866.

When you have the time could you possibly look up the burial dates you found for their children, and by any chance are Owen and Ann buried in Cambusnethan?  No idea when either died as they are exptremely elusive and to date I haven't found them in any census after 1861.
Your help would be much appreciated.
