Cambusnethan Cemetery Grave Search - Part 1

[Lodger]

Hi Davanel, your sure picked a lovely day for a trip to Cambusnethan! Do you have webbed feet by any chance?

It's so sad about the condition of the stones, thankfully, they were transcribed in 1982, so much of the information has been saved.

I have the MIs for Stonehouse, if you need a look-up let me know.

Do you have any Ellis's in Stonehouse Lodger? Probably 1900 onwards.

Thanks
Canisp.

[Lodger]

Not one Ellis Canisp, sorry.

Hi
Thanks will get back to you about Stonehouse. We had sunshine all the time we were at Cambusnethan, the rain started after we had lunch in the carpark.

Hi Lodger,

Recently I made a request for information regarding John Isaac (pg 22)who died 05 Jul 1904 in Cambusnethan.  His parents were said to be James Isaac and Harriet Prater.

You were able to find me information re his 3rd wife, Margaret Gray but not anything on him.  I have since found the death record of John Isaac's 2nd wife, Jane/Jeanie Isaac which was somewhat difficult to find because it came up under IZETT.  She died 26 Mar 1881 in Cambusnethan and was the daug of Manassch Reynolds  and Mary Scullion.  The name Reynolds on this occasion is spelt RANNALDS.

So I wondered if perhaps John Isaac is buried with his second wife and if maybe they are listed in the burial records under Izett and not Isaac?


It's a bit of a long shot but I strongly suspect that both John & Jane/Jeanie Isaac are both buried at Cambusnethan.  Any insight you could give me would be most helpful.

Regards,

Heather.

Hi Heather,
I found Jane alright, the bad news is, she was buried in common ground. Here's the details.

JANE IZETT, housewife, Cambusnethan, aged 41 years, married.
Parents - Manasskh Rannalds and Mary Sculion.
Interred in public ground 29th March 1881.

also -

HARRIET IZETT, Wishaw, aged 2 years.
Parents - John Izett and Jane Rannald.
Interred in public ground 8th March 1875.

I don't have the records for the years 1901 - 1905. I'm not too sure if the Cemetery office even has them.

Good luck,

Lodger.

Thanks Lodger,

That at least solves the problem of Jeanie, (wife no. 2).  Not sure how the Isaac name got changed to Izett because I didn't think they were interchangeable but I'm guessing it has more to do with the fact that they just didn't read or write.

Thanks for checking this one out for me,

Heather.

Hi Lodger...me again!

I have come across an unusual anomaly in that 3 men of 3 different families that I research married 3 women of the same Sandilands family.  So I'm just curious if you have any burials at Cambusnethan cemetery for William Sandilands and Catherine Prentice or their children.

William Sandilands was a baker in Wishaw for many years and I'm assuming that they were probably buried at Cambusnethan.  I'm just not sure if the name Sandilands was common in the area or not.  Sorry, I don't have the relevant death dates but I can tell you that Wm was born circa 1834 & Catherine circa 1836 and they are both present on the 1901 census.  Anything you manage to turn up would be most welcome.

Kindest regards,

Heather.

Hi Heather,

Very few Sandilands around the Wishaw area. Prentice is a very common one.
Couldn't find William, he may have died between 1901 and 1906, I don't have the cemetery records for that time. Here's Catherine.

CATHERINE SANDILANDS. Wishaw, aged 75 years, widow.
Parents - John Prentice and Janet Allan.
Interred in section F 117.  20th September 1911.

the only other internment for that lair that I could find was this one -

STILLBORN MALE SANDILANDS. Wishaw.
Parents - William Sandilands and Agnes Sloy Hay.
Interred in F117.  23rd February 1914.

Regards,
Lodger
