Cambusnethan Cemetery Grave Search - Part 1

[sage]

Hi Lodger,

I'm helping someone with the Isaac family.  John Isaac married #1 Agnes Mathieson in 1862, #2 Jane/Jeanie Reynolds in 1867 and #3 Margaret Gray in 1890.

I wondered if you might have any Cambusnethan burials for John Isaac, any of his spouses &/or children of the above marriages.

With thanks,

Heather.

Hi Heather,

Not much I'm afraid. One lair, owned by Andrew Isaac, 78 1/2 Cambusnethan.  (Now Cambusnethan St).
3 internments.

DAVID BURTON. Labourer, Cambusnethan, aged 56 years, widower.
Parents - John Burton and Margaret McConnell.
Interred 2nd December 1914.

ANDREW GRAY ISAAC. Cambusnethan, aged 2 weeks.
Parents - Andrew Isaac and Jane Burton.
Interred 15th April 1915.

MARGARET ISAAC. Farm servant, 78 1/2 Gold's Land, Cambusnethan.  Aged 26 years, single.
Parents - John Isaac and Margaret Gray.
Interred 12th December 1916.

I don't have a record of John Isaac's death but he may be in the missing years.
Could this be his 3rd wife?
MARGARET ISAAC. Cambusnethan, aged 63 years, widow.
Parents - Andrew Gray and Elizabeth Muir.
Interred in lair 1250 E.  21st September 1908.

Heather.

Hi Lodger,

Still working on the same mob...Margaret Gray's first husband was Wm Wilson whom she married in 1876.  I know he died 04 Mar 1877 and would expect him to be buried in Cambusnethan. 

I wondered if you might be able to locate him for me and any children that may have been born to this couple as I'm certain they had issue before they tied the knot.

With thanks,

Heather.

Hi Lodger ,
A long shot do you have any Beveridge or Brownlee (varied spelling) in your book.

Thanks Susan

[Lodger]

Hi Susan,
Cambusnethan churchyard and cemetery are overflowing with Brownlies of all spellings. It is a very local name, there is even an area called Brownlee. You would have to narrow it down a good deal.

Heather,

I was right in my last posting to you when I thought that the Margaret Isaac in lair E1250 was the 3rd wife of John Isaac.

Also in that lair are the following -

WILLIAM WILSON. Labourer. Address given as Hartwood Asylum. Aged 33 years, single.
Parents - William Wilson and Margaret Gray.
Interred 13th April 1910.

ELIZABETH McGHIE. Housewife, Cambusnethan, aged 39 years, married.
Parents - William Wilson and Maggie Gray.
Interred 1st August 1912.

ANDREW J BURTON. Cambusnethan, aged 2 months.
Mother - Margaret G Burton.
Interred 20th December 1912.

I also found the details for the 1870 death of William Wilson. He was buried as a pauper, most probably in his family plot in the old churchyard. His parents and brother Gavin are mentioned on the gravestone, but he isn't.

WILLIAM WILSON. Miner, Cambusnethan, aged 30 years, married.
Parents - William Wilson and Jane Hyslop.
Interred in old churchyard 7th March 1877.
