Hi Inkeyfingers,

All of the following records are for the Globe cemetery in Motherwell, it began life in 1876 and was originally named Dalziel Parish cemetery. It is now more or less abandoned although the civic authorities cut the grass twice a year, it is in a particularly difficult area to access and is/was prone to vandalism.
All dates are of interment.

MICHAEL ROONEY, 27 Argyle Street, aged 18 months.
Parents - Patrick Rooney & Maria Lennon.
Plot CD 115. 1st December 1892.

AGNES ROONEY, 23 Argyle Street, aged 16 months.
Parents - Patrick Rooney & Maria Lennon.
Plot CD 115. 16th May 1894.

HONOR CULLEN ROONEY, 14 Leslie Street, aged 60 years, widow.
Parents - Michael (Curran or Cullen) & Rose Kilmartin.
Plot CD 115. 5th June 1897.

LAWRENCE ROONEY, 14 Leslie Street, aged 20 months.
Parents - Patrick Rooney & Maria Lennon.
Plot CD 116. 18th February 1898.

MARY ROONEY, 14 Leslie Street, aged 20 months.
Parents - Patrick Rooney & Maria Lennon.
Plot CD 116. 7th March 1901.

MICHAEL LENNON, 14 Leslie Street, aged 68 years, widowed.
Parents - Dennis Lennon & Rosie Boyle.
Plot CD 114 & 115. 14th February 1905.

ELIZABETH ROONEY or MORGAN, housewife, Dalziel Street, aged 23 years, married.
Parents - Patrick Rooney & Maria Lennon.
Plot CD 114 & 115. 5th October 1905.

ANNIE ROONEY, 14 Leslie Street, aged 1 year & 9 months.
Parents - Patrick Rooney & Helen Conner.
Plot CD 114 & 115. 24th January 1906.

MARIA ROONEY, housewife, 14 Leslie Street, aged 63 years, married.
Parents - Michael Lennon & Elizabeth Coyle.
Plot CD 114 & 115. 22nd February 1924.

PATRICK ROONEY, retired, 298 Merry Street, aged 74 years, widowed.
Parents - Lawrence Rooney & Ona Cullen.
Plot CD 115. 15th March 1931.

DOROTHY ROONEY, schoolteacher, 288 Merry Street, aged 27 years, unmarried.
Parents - Patrick Rooney & Maria Lennon.
Plot CD 45. 4th August 1933.

I hope this information helps in some way. Plot 114 - 115 -116 was a big one, very unusual to see this in a "modern" cemetery, double plots are fairly common but triple ones are rare indeed.
I don't know why Dorothy wasn't interred with the rest of her family, the plot she is in was owned by a family by the name of Fairful. It may fit in somewhere perhaps.

Good luck with your research.  Lodger

The National Library of Scotland website [nls.uk - under digital collections] has some old maps, but not one that I can see which provides details of streets in Motherwell. 
It's shown on the First Edition of the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map
