Thank you for that tip Sancti. Could I ask you one more question please? Is there a way that I could search online for confirmation  that Donald Allan was buried at Westburn?
Kind regards, Nan

No index available online but if you contact South Lanarkshire Council cemeteries section they will confirm and provide a lair number

Nan, there is a way, not on-line though, there is a ledger and at this moment it's kept in Blantyre, South Lanarkshire, the department that deals with cremations etc, can't quite remember the exact name of the department, down a side street (John Street??) on the opposite side of Asda, Glasgow Rd, Blantyre

If you are refering to Kirkhill Cemetery, can I add the names, Andrew Thomson (1850) & Jane Barrie (1873) gravestone still in good condition and easily to read (plot 51, I think)

Hello Sancti,
Your guess that my relatives Donald and Margaret Allan of Newton Cambuslang were buried in Westburn Cemetery was correct. I received confirmation today from the South Lanarkshire Council, cemeteries division. Thank you for your help
Best regards, Nan

You are doing a great job Sancti.
Could I just add something?
I also have ancestors who are buried in Kirkhill Churchyard and I also have photos of my family graves.
I  already knew the location of these graves  because I found them in The Monumental Inscription Book for Cambuslang Churchyard
The book was printed in 1972.
It includes a plan of the cemetery, and all the "legible" inscriptions that were on the stones at time of print.
 
When I  photographed my family headstones in 2009, I discovered that some have little or no wording left at all.

My ggg grandparents grave is not on your list, because at 2009, hardly a single, legible word remains on their headstone ... but it was legible in 1972. It is printed in the book!
EDIT: forgot to add
Jackson (from your list) is also my family.
The wording on this stone has also eroded somewhat since 1972

I am interested in the Craig headstones for this churchyard.
Thank you so much
