Seeking help to find burial place of MACINTOSH and CARRUTHERS children Kilmacolm

[elsie ellen]

Hello!

Elizabeth Jane MACINTOSH, nee RUSSELL, was a young widow when she married John CARRUTHERS in Glasgow. They lived in Kilmalcolm, Renfrewshire.

Sadly Elizabeth had four children die at an early age:-

Unknown son MacIntosh (father John MacIntosh) who died between 1902 and 1913
Ranald MacIntosh (father John MacIntosh) who died between 1902 and 1913

and

Mary Carruthers who died between 1915 and 1920
William Carruthers who died about 1930

I have been unable to find any birth or more specific death details for these children.

I would appreciate any snippet of information about them, but especially I would like to find their last resting place. What cemetery in Glasgow would be a realistic possibility for them to be buried at? As I do not have any death and burial details for Elizabeth and John Carruthers I cannot use that as a possible guide either. John MacIntosh died in Canada.

Here's hoping....

Cheers

There is only 1 Elizabeth Carruthers nee Russell who died at Paisley, Renfrewshire in 1935.- in the Scotland Peoples website, worth the £1 to download. it maybe the correct one.

If they were born and lived in the kilmacolm area it is unlikely that they would be buried in Glasgow or anywhere in lanarkshire .

Kilmacolm is in Renfrewshire between Paisley and Greenock

Hello Tidybooks and Falkyrn 

Thank you for the information you have provided.

Tracing family is more than names and dates...it's a geography lesson as well!

Are you able to point me in the direction of cemeteries in this shire please?

Kilmalcolm -  used  to be part of Port Glasgow parish at one time.  My grandfather was in a home 1901 census in Kilmacolm, which was part of Port Glasgow. Not sure when the boundries changed
