A little off topic but couldn't help taking a picture of this magnificent old yew tree in the cemetery today. It is marked on the 1859 - 60 Ordinance Survey map, so it pre-dates this part of the burial ground by a year.

Hello Lodger, Brilliant! Thank you very much.

I've worked out where the McKendrick's fit in. My Dad,who recently passed away always said there was only one Nisbet family in Newmains and Carluke that he knew of, I didn't believe him, think now was right, they're all connected I still have to work out quite how.

I have a question,
Adam Nisbet,in plot 30, low public died age 94, does it say who his parents were? I've had discrepancies over the years. Quite an age to live to then and that's what's on his death certificate, "old age". Lived quite a life, guarded the dungeons at Edinburgh Castle and was at the Battle of Waterloo amongst other escapades.

According to the deaths index at Scotland's People www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
Adam Nisbet, 94, died in Cambusnethan 1879, mother's maiden surname Speirs.

The death certificate should tell you the full names of both his parents.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Hello,

I have just come across this forum and am hoping that I might be able to get some information on some ancestors who lived (and died) in Cambusnethan. I have tried various searches in lots of places but so far have come up empty handed . . so here's hoping!

I am trying to locate the grave of my great-great grandparents:

Thomas Davidson Born: c1851 in Shotts and Died 10 Aug 1931 in Cambusnethan;
Agnes Davidson (nee Arbuckle) Born 6 Sept 1855 and Died 1 Sept 1933 both in Cambusnethan.

Yours very hopefully,
Aileen

Hello Aileen,

welcome to Rootschat.
The records I have for Cambusnethan don't go as far into the 20th century as the dates you've given but, leave it with me and I'll make enquiries.

There are a few Arbuckle burials in the records I do have, was Agnes the daughter of George Arbuckle and Mary (or Mary Ann) Moffat?
Paterson, Torrance, Gilchrist - Hamilton Lanarkshire. 
McCallum - Oban, McKechnie - Ross of Mull Argyll.

Liddell - Polmont,

Hello Lodger and thank you for both the welcome and such a quick response. I knew that my request was a bit of a long shot as the dates were more ‘recent’ but I would certainly appreciate anything you might find or help in steering me in the right direction!
Your question about the Arbuckles is spot on - I was going to ask about any records of them later! Agnes was the daughter of George and Mary Ann. He died as a result of an accident in the mine and I would really appreciate any information in the records about them.
Many thanks,
Aileen

Hello again Aileen,

first of all, it will take me another day or two to find the 1930's interments, so I'll have to get back to you with them.
however! I don't know where to begin with the information I've come across so far.

A question for you - Do you subscribe to Ancestry.com? If you do, you will have, I assume, seen the North Lanarkshire poor reliefs claims?  If you haven't seen these claims, here's a very quick summary of the ones I looked at, they are all from Cambusnethan Parish claims.

Claim made in 1862 by George Arbuckle, stated age 37 years, born Cambuslang. Wife is Mary Ann Moffat. He has claimed because he is unfit for work due to an accident (presumably at work, his occupation is given as a coal drawer). He claims for self, wife and 3 younger children. His eldest child John, is 14 years old and not dependant as he is of working age.

Claim made by Mary Moffat or Arbuckle on 28th June 1869 from No.1 Marshall Street, Wishaw. Stated age is 44 years, a widow and her place of birth is given as Barony (parish). Her husband was George Arbuckle, born Cambuslang, who died 21st June past from injuries. He was the son of Andrew Arbuckle, miner and Mary Shaw, both dead. She has 2 non-dependant children and 5 dependant children, the youngest, Archibald, is only 10 months old.

Claim made by Mary Ann Moffat or Arbuckle in 1890, she is a widow, stated age is 64 years and she was born in Woodside, parish of Old Monkland. Her parents are given as John Moffat and Mary Wilkieson, both dead at the time of this claim. Her children are listed as -
MARY ANN, married to George McCansh a miner, 7 children, living at Berryhill.
AGNES, married to Thomas Davidson a labourer, 6 children, living Main Street.
WILLIAM, aged 32 years, unmarried, a labourer, living in England.
GEORGE, aged 30 years, married with 8 children, in New Zealand.
JANET, aged 28 years, married to Thomas Robertson a miner, no children, living in Newmains.
ARCHIBALD, aged 21 years, a labourer, married with 2 children, in Glasgow Road.

Claim made by William Arbuckle in 1879, he is aged 21 years and resides with his mother. Son of George Arbuckle and Mary Ann Moffat. He is off work due to asthma and bronchitis.

Claim made by John Arbuckle aged 31 years, born Cambuslang, son of George Arbuckle (dead) and Mary Ann Moffat. claim made on 26th April 1880. Claiming from 120 Caledonian Road Wishaw. Wife is Marion McNaughton, born Motherwell. He is a miner and is unable to work due to lumbago. He has 6 children, all under the age of 11 years, the youngest is George, aged 3 months.
John died a few weeks after this claim was made - see burial records below.

Claim made by Mary Arbuckle or Tweedlie, 21st July 1913 from 5 Livingston's Square, Hill Street Wishaw. She was born at 33 Marshall Street and is a member of the Baptist Church. She was married to John Tweedlie 25th March 1910 and is a widow.
Her parents are Archibald Arbuckle, a craneman and Margaret Todd Henderson, living at 26 1/2 Hill Street. She has 3 children.
Her husband John Tweedlie, a coal miner, died in the Royal Infirmary, Glasgow from injuries received in an explosion at Heathery Pit on July 4th.

I am now going to finish this post and continue on another. Rootschat only allow a certain number of words.
