Cambusnethan Cemetery Grave Search - Part 1

[sancti]

GForce,

This is what I think.

your grandfather was John McCrindle Rankin Pettigrew, born Wishaw 1906.

His parents were Robert Pettigrew born about 1880, and Elizabeth McCrindle.

Looks as though Robert's parents were James Pettigrew and Margaret Rankin.

Looks as though James' parents were Robert Pettigrew and Margaret Wardrop. This couple were married in 1841 (according to the IGI the link I have already given to you) and their Banns of marriage were proclaimed in the parishes of Bothwell and Torphichen, which means that one lived in Bothwell (probably at Carnbroe near Airdrie) and the other at Torphichen which is near Bathgate. Someone has submitted a record to the IGI saying that Robert was born at Carnbroe about 1816 but that should be double-checked.

We now know, from her burial record, that Elizabeth McCrindle's parents were John McCrindle and Marion Frame.

I think you are now back to your great-great-great-grandparents. Not bad at all. Plenty of flesh still to go on the bones but genealogy is a hobby, so go and enjoy it. Plenty of people will want to do it for you but there's no pleasure in that. We have given you an excellent start on the List, now, if you live in Scotland, my advice is to go to the Mitchell Library Family History Centre in Glasgow, or to Register House in Edinburgh and have fun finding it all for yourself.

Good luck and happy hunting,

Lodger

Great advice

Hi Lodger,

Not sure if I've tackled the Hay family before but am wondering if the family were buried at Cambusnethan.

Alexander Hay died 26 Aug 1887 aged 57  at Morningside Square, parents John Hay, mother unknown
Jane Hay nee Inglis died 19 Jul 1888 aged 55 at Morningside Square, parents Wm Inglis & Agnes Tweedie
If they're not buried at C'nethan can you suggest where else I might check?

Their son Alexander Hay died 31 Oct 1901 aged 48 (this book's missing?)
His wife Janet Paterson Cairns died 01 Jan 1908 aged 54 in Wishaw.  Her parents were James Cairns & Margaret Paterson or Sommerville.

James Hay (son of Alexander and Jane nee Inglis) I now know died after 1911 but don't know when and not sure that you would have records this late.

I also have a John and a Jessie born to Alexander and Jane whom I haven't been able to trace.

Any help on these families would be most appreciated.

Regards, Sage.

Hi Lodger,

Thanks very much for the Hay family information.  This gives me some more insight into this family and another direction to go in.

Cheers, Sage.
