Hello!  I certainly remember hearing of Auntie Maggie and Auntie Jeanie - in fact, my mother was called Jeanie (Scott) after Grandpa's sister.  Once I have made another post or two, I can send you a private message.  Not sure if I'm allowed to give out my email address here?

Should add that Grandpa Robert Scott was born in 1881 and died aged 83 in 1964, so was he the eldest?  We actually lived with him in the house in Blantyre where my mother was born, so we heard lots of family stories...but not many about the Scott background.  We knew that Grandpa Scott had step-siblings and I knew some of them as a wee girl (they lived in Ashgill, nr Larkhall).  His mother was never mentioned, and it was only when a relative did a bit of digging some years ago that we found out she was called Mary Mullen (Co Monaghan?)

You have dozens of cousins out here!  Grandpa Scott had 8 of a family, and I have 20-odd cousins, though some have passed away.  I am in touch with many Scotts; some in Scotland, and some in Australia (one was an Australian MP until he retired).

Heather, not too many Sleiths around, here's what I have on them.

Hi Lodger,
Many thanks for the information provided...it's given me something to chew on these last few days.  Just as an aside for those who perhaps find this thread down the track please note that the parents of James Paterson were Wm Paterson & Margt Brownlie and not John Paterson & Agnes McBride as previously suggested.  I've been able to verify this information via his death cert and it rings true in accordance with the naming tradition.
Also, the child James Paterson who died at 13 mths is the son of Andrew McN Paterson and Christina Reid Graham (not John McN Paterson) as per the burial record.  I hope this helps my fellow researchers and thanks again Lodger.
Cheers,
Heather.

Hi Lodger, Well they say strike while the iron's hot so here I go again!  Please could you do a look-up for Thomas GRAHAM who died in Cambusnethan btwn 1891 & 1901.  He was 54 in 1891 living at 71 Cambusnethan St but I'm sorry I don't know who his parents were.
His wife was Violet Walker (parents Hugh Walker & Christian Reid) but she didn't died until 17 Oct 1915 and you might not have a record of her burial.
They were resident in C'nethan for a long time so perhaps you'll find some children too.
With thanks,
Heather.

Hi Heather,
I don't think your "iron" ever gets the chance to cool down!

Found this family in a double plot in the new cemetery, the only snag is, I'm not sure if I've found the right Thomas. The rest of the family are in Section A28 and 29. I think the Thomas I found is probably Violet's husband but, he's listed as being in Section A281. I think it's either a mistake on the original document or a transcriber's error. The age fits and his mother's name was Isabella - there is an Isabella in the A29 plot, so it was a family name.

JOHN A. GRAHAM. Draper's assistant, Cambusnethan, aged 21 years, single.
Parents - Thomas Graham and Violet Walker.
Interred in A28, 28th October 1892.

VIOLET W. GRAHAM. Cambusnethan, aged 2 years 6 months.
Parents - James W. Graham and Jessie P. Livingstone.
Interred in A29, 25th January 1900.

THOMAS R. GRAHAM. Insurance agent, Cambusnethan, aged 64 years, married.
Parents - Richard Graham and Isabella Armstrong.
Interred in A281 (sic) 19th November 1900.

VIOLET GRAHAM. wishaw, aged 74 years, widow.
Parents - Hugh Walker and Christina Reid.
Interred in A28, 19th October 1915.

ISABELLA FORREST. Housewife, 4 Kennedy Street Wishaw, aged 56 years, married.
Parents - Thomas Graham and Violet Walker.
Interred in A29, 5th September 1916.

Hope this keeps you going for an hour or two. If you need any others just ask.

Hi Lodger,
That information was amazingly helpful and this time I was helping someone from New Zealand who has 2 Graham Siblings who married 2 Paterson Siblings so if there is anyone out there who has connections to either of these families it would be great to hear from you...you have family in NZ!
Yes, Lodger I think you have the correct Thomas Graham...I don't have his death record but he was certainly an insurance agent and his age gels too.
Thanks once again...
Heather.
