Hi Chris,

That's a considerable chunk of Lanarkshire represented there. I had no idea it covered such an area and it makes one wonder about the logistics.

Some time ago, you were good enough to look for Sweenies for me. It's maybe a long shot, but given some of the locations could you see if there are any Mulligans from Brewsterford, Bothwell or Holytown?

Best wishes

Hi Rockford.

I only have one Mulligan in the lair book so far. Bernard Mulligan (50) Died 13 Jan 1873 was buried on the 14th. He was from Calderbank.

I also have a pic of a headstone for Winifred Mulligan who died 18 May 1925 aged 68.

Hi Chris,

Unfortunately, I don't recognise either Bernard or Winifred, but I do appreciate you checking for. me.

Best wishes

Chris, like Rockford I had no idea how far the cemetery covered.   I'm assuming this is a 'No' and all my family were in the areas already moved, like Wellwynd, but if ever you have a chance could you be kind enough to check if there were any Porters or Parks?   The Porters were Aidrie as far as I know, but the Parks could have been Greengairs.
Many thanks in advance if you get a chance to look.

Hi Maggie

Martha   Park   16/04/1869
Mary    Park   03/09/1885
Hendry   Parks   05/03/1878

I have headstone pics for the following Park(s)
Annie    Park   12/03/1990
Maria   Parks   13/03/1980

There are no Porters in either Photographs or the the Lair book.....so far

Chris, what a fast reply, thank you so much.   The Porters always were a long shot, I'm pretty sure they were in the pauper's graves moved from Wellwynd.

I have a Mary Park who would be my gr.gr.aunt, born in 1872 so that is possible but the others aren't names I recognise.   Definitely the 1800s I'm looking for, I should have said.   Mary was born in New Monkland district in 1872.

I'll need to do some digging and find out if she died in her teens.

Many thanks for taking the trouble.
