Thank you all for the replies and some great pictures too - but unfortunately my grandfather isn't amongst the workers in the photos.

Hi

Are you thinking of the Motherwell Bridge works?

It would appear that I  was mistaken about the location of the steelworks too as it isn't where I thought it was, and but at least I know now.  I'm  also pretty sure it wasn't called Ravenscraig either. 

Thanks
Charlotte

The 'Bridge Works' was the steel works at the top of Logans Road at the level crossing

Hi Megan,

I was quite excited when I saw this picture as my great grans brother James Monaghan was a smelter and he lived and worked in Craigneuk, he is probably in this picture oh how I wish they named the people in the picture

Thanks Jane

Dear Lodger,

I am new to rootschat and so I apologize for my ignorance of protocols and etiquette, but when I was a "visitor" (before registering as a "member")  I saw one of your posts that suggested you have compiled a private database of many of the MIs (monument inscriptions?) for churchyards, graveyards and/or cemeteries near Glasford and environs?  I am looking for the possible burial of one Archibald Shearer (spelling variations are possible) who I believe lived in the area of Drumtall Farm, which I think is on the "border" between East Kilbride Parish and Glasford Parish.  He likely died sometime between 1785 (when I believe his last child was born) and 1810 (when one of his sons moved away to Shotts).  This Archibald might have been born about 1738, an estimate I based on his marriage to Margaret Murray on March 13, 1763 in East Kilbride.  Of course it is possible that his wife, Margaret (Murray) Shearer, is buried near him, and the same range of dates for death would apply.
I hope you will be able to help me, as I live in the U.S. and have never had the privilege of visiting Scotland.

The picture of the smelters does anybody know any of the names of the men in the picture, one of my ancestors was a smelter at the same time of this picture living in the area.  His name was James Monaghan

McGhee,

I only have the picture because my great grandfather who is in the picture had it in his possesion.

It has been passed down from him . No other names are on the back except for him so I can't indentify anyone else.

I posted the picture in case someone recognizes any of their relatives.

Sorry,
Megan
