Bothwell churchyard

Sorry, My mind is mince today.  It's James Paterson (not Thomson)!  All the other information is the same.

Many thanks for that.  Unfortunately, it looks as though the family isn't buried in Bothwell Parish Churchyard so it's back to the drawing board.

They may be buried in Bothwell churchyard as there are a lot of illegible headstones but as they lived at Knowehead Farm which was in Uddingston they could be in Bothwellpark cemetery in Bellshill

Thanks for that information.  I'll give Bellshill a go.

They could easily be buried there but not commemorated on a stone.

I suspect that they would have had a stone as  James seems to have been a reasonably prosperous butcher but maybe not.

Mind you, I can't find him dying in Lanarkshire so maybe they moved away.

Have you checked the marriage records of his children to see when he was recorded as deceased?

[LawsideOpener]

I know he was alive in 1933 and his children were married by then.  I've looked at every likely death in Lanarkshire after that without success and hoped he might have been buried back near his old home and be on a tombstone.   I'll try North Lanarkshire burial adminstration to see if I can find his wife's grave and that might narrow the search.

Thanks for all the help and advice.  If I find him it'll be one more off the very long list!
