Headstone pictures CAMBUSNETHAN CHURCHYARD WISHAW

[Lodger]

Hi Sancti,

I'm back home and suitably refreshed! (For about 3 days!)

There is no headstone for Daniel but according to the records, he is interred in the old churchyard at Cam'nethan, in a plot owned, according to the late Victorian book, by himself. Unusually, he is the sole name in the records, it tends to be couples, sometimes even several siblings.
Anyway, the plot book has the following information (the plot book only begins circa 1876)

In the south lair -
MARGARET MAXWELL, aged 13 months. Interred on 28th February 1887.
THOMAS MAXWELL, aged 6 years. Interred 15th January 1897.
In the centre lair -
DANIEL MAXWELL, aged 63 years. Interred 20th December 1890.
JAMES MAXWELL, aged 8 1/2 years. Interred 5th January 1897.
In the north lair -
MARGARET MAXWELL, aged 83 years. Interred 1st September 1910.

The following information is taken from the gravedigger's day book -

DANIEL MAXWELL, Newmains, aged 4 years.
ROBERT MAXWELL, Newmains, aged 15 months.
Parents - Daniel Maxwell & Margaret Smith.
Interred in the old churchyard, both on 16th March 1866.

MARGARET MAXWELL, Cambusnethan, aged 83 years, widow.
Parents - Alexander Smith & Margaret Finlay.
Interred in the old churchyard, 1st September 1910.

JAMES MAXWELL, labourer, Cambusnethan, aged 56 years, married.
Parents - Daniel Maxwell & Margaret Smith.
Interred in the new cemetery, E2403, 8th October 1913.
Lair owned by William Maxwell, miner. 206, Gardner's Land, Cam'nethan.

STILLBORN FEMALE MAXWELL, 244 Cam'nethan.
Parents - William Maxwell & Jeanie Botham.
interred in E2403 17th November 1916.

finally, this may be a red-herring but I'm including it because of the name. It seems odd that the child's names seem to be out of sync; but he may well have been illegitimate.

DANIEL MILLAR MAXWELL, Glasgow, aged 9 months.
Parents - William Millar & Jane Maxwell.
Interred in the old churchyard, 22nd February 1867.

Anything else you need, just ask.

Thanks Lodger

I think Hamilton Allan & Steel could be one of mine.
Be grateful for a photograph.
Thank you

Hi doolittle72, the stone is an obelisk which is now lying flat. The inscription is as follows -

"Erected to the memory of John Allan who died 1st June 1848 aged 58 years. John his son died 3rd March 1853 aged 10 years. Sarah Hamilton his wife died 14th January 1867 aged 68 years.
The burying place of Alexander Allan and Agnes Steel his wife. Alexander their son died 31st March 1856 aged 3 years. The above Alexander Allan died 25th November 1901 aged 79 years, his wife Agnes Steel died 11th March 1914 aged 92 years. Marion Reid Allan died 24th February 1910".

If this is the right family let me know as this stone forms part of a larger Allan plot.

Hello:  early on in this thread you mentioned that a 1974 transcriptions of the headstones exists at the Scottish Genealogical Society.   Would it be possible to copy the pages if one visited the Society in person?  I don't see reference to the transcription on their online listings, but am hopeful the transcription is still available.

Hi Judy,

Only the SGS can answer that one, why not ask them?

No photographs I'm afraid, none of them are buried in the old churchard and that is where I have the most pictures of.
Quite a few of them in the burial records though and there may be headstones but I just don't have the pictures, I will check when I go over to the cemetery next time.

First of all, there are three seperate plots in the "Private" burial ground, this lies behind the old churchyard and to the west of the municipal cemetery.

First plot is Private 367.
