Lodger:

If it is possible, could you provide photographs of the Mirrelees monuments?  It would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you.

Hi Scott,

There really is only 1 Mirriless stone but I don't have a picture of it. I Dont know if it has survived but I will check it out this week. It is the Alexander Mirrilees & Rebecca Russell plot, is this the one you want?

Thank you Lodger - there were several Merrillees/Mirrilees monuments listed in the first Cambusnethan Cemetery Search.  The Alexander and Rebecca monument would be wonderful.  He was my 3rd Grand Uncle.  Any or all of them would be excellent.  I believe you had indicated that they were buried in the Clyde Burial Ground.

This part of the family was virtually unknown until your excellent help with the monuments - this filled in a substantial part of the family that we knew nothing about.  From the monuments I was able to find and document many of the family.

Hi Scott,

In the previous Cambusneth Search there was mention of Merrilees/Mirrilees but not monuments. The information all came from the burial records. Have a look at this link

If you don't have the Alexander & Rebecca burial information I can post it here. They both lived in Glasgow at the time of their deaths.

Lodger:

Thank you.  I didn't know that there were no monuments and only records.  Regardless - thank you for your help.  That was a monumental  help in tracing this family.  Thank you again.

Hi Skoosh,

A friend of mine gave it to me on a disc years ago, just don't ask me to put my hands on it anytime soon! I have read it though. I also have Thomas Orr's "Historic & Descriptive Sketches of the Joint Burgh" published in 1925, quite a good book (and signed by the author).
