Cambusnethan Cemetery Grave Search - Part 1

[colcal]

Hi Lodger,

I am trying to find where my husbands Grandmother is buried. Her name was Sarah Ann Donnelly (Nee Kivlochan), she died on the 7th September 1926 in Duke Street Hospital Hospital, Glasgow, age 45 and was Catholic.
Her last address given on her death certificate was 73 Landressy Street.

I have tried St Peters (Old Dalbeth) but she is not there.

I am hoping that she might be on your list for Cambusnethan Cemetery,

regards carolyn

Hi Carolyn,
I don't have any 1926 records for Cambusnethan, the ones I have finish at 1916. Do you have some evidence that your ancestor was buried there? If someone died in Landressy St they would surely be buried in Janefield. (The Eastern Necropolis) at Parkhead.

Regards,

Lodger.

Hi Lodger,
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I have not heard of Janefield before but I will try there next.
Thank you again
regards Carolyn

Thanks Lodger, I'm very grateful for your help, and so quickly too 

The Jane name in particular helps a lot as I thought I'd found Owen and Ann in Wigan in 1861 but wasn't sure. Jane confirms I have the right family. Trouble is there's no trace after their twins were born and I'm beginning to suspect they trotted back to Ireland.
Will keep looking!
Regards
Pauline

Caroline, hope you get this link, it contains many headstone inscriptions for Janefield/Eastern Necropolis, unmarked graves are not included, you need to go to the Mitchell Library for a more comprehensive list.

 Furthering on from Lodger, having lived in Landressy St. myself at one point, some of my relatives burials are split between Janefield St Cemetery(next to Celtic park) and Sandymount in the Springboig area, more recent being in Sandymount also Glasgow City Council are looking for 60 odd quid for a search!!!!!!!!

Lodger, thank you so much for your help earlier in this thread. I was wondering if I could trouble you with another query if you have the time. I am researching husband and wife John Maxwell (died 3rd Jan 1903) and Sarah Pollock (died 28 June 1903) and wonder if you've got anything on them in your records? Both born in Ireland in 1840s (I don't have specifics) but lived and died in the Cambusnethan area.

Regards,
Alan

Hi Lodger,
        I would be much obliged if you could check the burial records for Quigley & McFarnon.

Alan,

I don't have the records for 1903, sorry. What I have ends at 1901, then begins again at 1906.

However, there are quite a few children interred in Cambusnethan that may be of interest. Some are for James Maxwell and Susan Pollock, but they are in the same grave as children for John and Sarah, so could it have been 2 brothers married to 2 sisters?

The first 3 are all buried in common ground -

AGNES MAXWELL. Torbush, aged 9 months.
Parents - James Maxwell and Susan Pollock.
Interred 3rd December 1863.

AGNES MAXWELL. Newmains, aged 11 months.
Parents - James Maxwell and Susan Pollock.
Interred 9th October 1867.

JOHN MAXWELL. Gallowhill, aged 3 weeks.
Parents - John Maxwell and Sarah Pollock.
Interred 13th July 1871.

All of the following seven are buried in the old "Private" burial ground next to the churchyard, the plot is number 552.

ELIZABETH MAXWELL, Morningside, aged 14 years.
Parents - James Maxwell and Susan Pollock.
Interred 8th September 1873.

WILLIAM MAXWELL, Morningside, aged 2 days.
Parents - John Maxwell and Sarah Pollock.
Interred 14th October 1884.

ELIZABETH MAXWELL, Morningside, aged 3 months.
Parents - John Maxwell and Sarah Pollock.
Interred 23rd April 1886.

SARAH MAXWELL, Morningside, aged 3 months.
Parents - John Maxwell and Sarah Pollock.
Interred 29th March 1889.

NEW BORN MALE CAMPBELL, Morningside, aged 5 hours.
Parents - James Campbell and Ann Pollock.
Interred 25th January 1890.

WILLIAM COLQUHOUN. Morningside, aged 20 days.
Parents - John Colquhoun and Susan Maxwell.
Interred 3rd September 1895.

JOHN MAXWELL, Morningside, aged 5 weeks.
Parents - John Maxwell and Agnes H Davidson.
Interred 27th January 1900.

It's highly possible that your 1903 deaths are in this grave but you'd have to check with North Lanarkshire Council cemeteries department.

(For some reason I was unable to highlight the last few names, the text box is jumping all over the place, and I haven't touched a drop all evening - honest!)
