Have you followed through on deaths and cemeteries? I am wondering where the Jacksons as a family were buried, maybe more than one cemetery? I am wondering where Alexander and wife Jeanie could have been buried (1950 and 1968) and perhaps some mention on the gravestone to their children.

Give me a few mins to check my data files.

I have had a search and I don't have any specific information on the death of Alex but my grandfather John Jackson who would have been a cousin of Alex was buried in Wilton Cemetery in Carluke.  This cemetery seemed to be popular with the Jackson's.

I assume a post has been made on the Carluke Community site.  This is where I met a few family members.

Hi John,

You have no more infos abt David Jackson? no family's rumor where he lived?
Thanks,

Suanj,

Our Jackson family were very much individuals with their own ideas on what they wanted to do in life and where they wanted to be (hence I have worked all over the World and now live in Spain).  Not one of my Grandfather's children remained in Carluke and I suppose my father was the closest in Glasgow.  The rest moved to the North of Scotland and South to England.  The same is the case for other branches of the family.  And to make things worse, they were a family that never kept in touch.

"Never say Never" as they say we may come up with a breakthrough.  Have you placed a post on the Carluke Community Site - worth a try.

all the best,

Thanks for checking John  Wilton Cemetery does seem to be the most obvious cemetery doesn't it.

I found this earlier:

 The records for all the cemeteries we maintain are held at our Cemeteries Section at 18 Forrest Street in Blantyre.

These are public documents therefore if you want to find out where someone is buried, you can call at the reception and our cemeteries' staff will try to help you trace the records you need.

www.southlanarkshire.gov.uk

I've emailed on one of the links on the site requesting burial info on Jeanie and Alexander Jackson, with very specific dates for Jeanie from her DC and just a year (1968) for Alexander. I don't know if there are any charges for this or whether they can assist with the info I have provided. Let's wait and see

Suanj, re the Carluke Community site, I have seen George Woodworth's message there  It would probably be a good idea to put up another post there given that there is so much more identifying information now for the family. We have his parents' names and when they died, brothers (at least three of their names apart from David) and the last address on record (from Jeanie's death cert of 9 High Mills Road).

All helps

Hi Monica it is a good idea.. I wish to give your advice to George Woodworth....
but knowing the right birthdate maybe could be more helpful, so we must wait a bit of time...
