Cambusnethan Cemetery Grave Search - Part 1

[Lodger]

Heather, just found the other post that mentions parents names. Just carried out another search and this is what I've found.

JOSEPH ROSS, Newmains, aged 13 months.
Parents - George Ross and Isabella Russell.
Interred in Common Ground, 28th December 1874.

JAMES ROSS, furnace labourer, Newmains, aged 47 years, married.
Parents - George Ross and Isabella Russell.
Interred in Section B 132.  7th February 1914.
Plot ower - Agnes Ramage or ross, 40 Brown Street, Newmains.

The plot owner would probably have been his wife, it is still the legal way to write a married woman's name in Scotland, she never really gives up her maiden surname.

Without knowing who George and Isabella's parents were, it's impossible to check for burials.

Hi Heather,

I found the 1901 census for this family incorrectly transcribed under the name Roberson!:

Thomas aged 37 born Douglas, Blast Furnaceman
Agnes aged 36 born West Calder
Hugh aged 13 born Carnwath, Telegraph Messenger
George aged 12 born Carnwath, Scholar
Mary aged 10 born Cambusnethan, Scholar
Bella aged 8 born Cambusnethan, Scholar
Walter aged 3 born Cambusnethan
James aged 1 born Cambusnethan

They were living at Leslie Place, Main St which I think is in Newmains.

Heather,
This may be of interest:

The LDS site has an Agnes Ross or Russell born 10 Nov 1864 in West Calder to George Ross and Isabella Russell.

Hi Lodger & Heather,

I think perhaps George Ross' parents were James Ross and Isobel Neil.  I found George and Isabella Ross living in C'nethan in 1881 where it says Geo was born circa 1845 in Lanark, Lanarkshire.  There's a match for him on LDS born 23 Jan 1845 and christened 02 Feb 1845 in Lanark - parents James Ross and Isobel Neil. 
Geo and Isabella's first son James is born in C'nethan in 1867 and their second daug Isabella is born in C'nethan in 1868 so I'm hoping I've found a match!

Hi again...I could be accused of being a serial poster here 
I think I have a positive match on Isabella Russell's birth: 07 May 1841 in Carnwath to parents George Russell & Agnes Young.  I found them in 1851 living in West Calder.  This also corresponds with Isabella naming her firstborn daug Agnes after her mother.
Lodger, there's every chance that George & Isabella Ross (nee Russell) were buried in C'nethan so I hope this information helps you find them for Heather.

Cheers,
Sage.

 Having read some of the new posts I undestand that there are street directories for 1922 and 1925.
I would love to check United buildings Craigneuk for family-my dad,John Donnelly, was born at  NO.22 in 1917- but I suspect that more family also lived there.Can you tell me how to access these directories?

 Many thanks  to all for making my family search so rich and enjoyable.

BonnieJean,

Motherwell Heritage Centre may have the directories.
In my copies, for 1922 there is J Donnelly at 22 United Buildings (Part of Meadowhead Road).
In the 1925 version there is John Donnelly, miner, at No.22.
No other Donnellys in United Buildings, or in Meadowhead Road.

Dear Lodger and Sage, 
Thank you both very much for your prompt replies very much appreciated.
Have been trying to sort that out for sometime, joined RootsChat and within 24 hours the answers flowed in.   Janet R was a puzzle, not on the census but seemingly died aged 21, need a higher powered magnifying glass! Will read and digest and enter them into my records and maybe come back with another curly question for you at a later stage. 
Regards
Heather R.
ps.. there is another topic I have found that will hopefully assist me in sorting things out entitled.. Help tracing ROBERTSON/ROSS/NEILSON/RUSSELL/WRIGHT. So here goes.

[BONNIEJEAN]

many thanks again You really are a wonderful resource for family searches Lodger and I have so much information thanks to you and the other helpful members of rootschat.

Can you look again for me at 22 united buildings  in any later date after 1925? I am trying to establish when this family moved away fron Craigneuk to Auchinleck Ayrshire. My dad met my mum there in 1935.

And could you look again at United Buildings in 1922 and 1925 for the Mullens? They are on my maternal grandmothers side.

Again grateful thanks.And Happy Valentine's  Day tomorrow to all!
