Finding a graveyard in Coatbridge
« on: Saturday 17 September 11 21:56 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find out which graveyard my G/G/father was buried in, he lived at Summerlea (old Monkland) Coatbridge and died in 1931, the family were RC and according to the marriage of the first son the church was St Patrick,s, is there a graveyard which served that church or a local one for that area!.

St Joseph's in Airdrie was opened in 1860 for New & Old Monkland and stills serves that Catholic Community in Airdrie and Coatbridge. Im transcribing the lair books at present, but Im at 1866 at the moment. North Lanarkshire Council Archives office have the books for that year. You can get them here...

Hello teacake,

If you get in touch with North Lanarkshire Council, ask them about Old Monkland Cemetery too.

It's in Coatbridge and being non-denominational, all religions are buried there.
