WELLWYND CHURCHYARD, AIRDRIE

[Skoosh]

Edinburgh's St Giles kirkyard is completely under cobbles & tarmac. John Knox will have prob's when the trumpet sounds! 

Bests,
Skoosh.

John Knox will have prob's when the trumpet sounds! 

Good. He was the cause of a lot of unhappiness down the centuries thanks to his killjoy Calvinist doctrines.

I am interested in the gravestone for COOK, GLEN & SCOTT, and would like a photo please.

Hi Isabel H,

There is a monumental inscription for COOK, GLEN & SCOTT but unfortunately, I do not have a photograph. Weather permitting, I will try to get one taken this week, if the stone is still there.

The inscription is as follows -

"Erected by William Cook, resident of Providence R.I. USA in memory of his grandfather William Cook. Also his grandmother Mary Glen. His father William Cook. His 2 children Janet & Christina, all interred here. Also in memory of his wife Charlotte Scott who died in 1872 and is interred at Elmira New York USA."

[Isabel H]

Lodger, thank you.

William Cook and Mary Glen are my 3xg grandparents, so if the stone still exists it would be good to have a photo, but just when it's convenient.

I have James Gold married to Janet Gartshore in 1827.

Hi Graham, sorry for taking so long to send the pictures.
This is the Gold & Rankin stone, not very good quality I'm afraid. The inscription reads -
"The property of James Gold and Janet Gartshore his wife and children. Their son Andrew died 28th July 1840 aged 11 years".
There is an epitaph which I did not record, sorry.
