Airbles Cemetery Motherwell

[maxcam]

Well done once again Lud. Such a fount of knowledge also welcome to a new member all the way from Chicago .

You will find that everyone on this site is very helpful and only looking for their history.

By the way, even though I only live minutes from Airbles Cemetery I will not, for a few days at least, be venturing there. I value my limbs too much and I am too old to take up Skiing.

Best of luck with your research.

The Motherwell Times of 28th April 1922 carries the death notice for Rosanna Gallagly. She died on the 21st, aged 2. Her death record will be available online via scotlandspeople for a small charge.

Maxcam,
I ventured down to Airbles yesterday and found the headstone for John Buchanan and Annie DF Fleming E220, alongside, Lilly Fleming Buchanan 16yrs 9 mth, d 1 Oct 1930, George Buchanan 22yrs d 6 Mar 1934, they lived at No 4 and 14 Ghillies Lane in Motherwell.
Hope this helps.

Hello bgollogly,
sorry there is no stone for Rose Ann, however she rests  in a most peaceful part of the grave yard overlooking the River Clyde.

Thank you Lud for going out into the cold, in search for a stranger's headstone, that of my grandfather's Hugh's baby sister Rose Ann, with tear's rolling down face, Your Kindness Overwhelms Me. 
I am lucky to have been born in these days of technology, though I may never get to visit Scotland myself, I am touched and have befriended a obliging Scotsman, of my grandfathers birth land. I am Grateful and proud of my Gallowglas Scottish heritage.

Admiringly
Bridget

Oh my goodness,
My Grateful Thanks to 'Scotmum' for saving me hours of searching for the name of the newspaper I would find RoseAnn death notice in.
I've have been researching my Irish and Scottish Heritage for a solid 4 years, and I have never been embraced, helped or guided by any other homeland as much as Motherwell, Scotland.  I am truly taken back by all of your help and support and have a New, Awaken, Admiration for my Motherwell heritage.

Love from Chicago
Rose Anna Gallagly's Great Niece Bridget

Lud,

You are a wonder! And very Brave. I thought I was going to going up on my B"""""Hind yesterday. My Cousin returned from Canada last year and we were all over Airbles looking for the Buchanan lair and now I know exactly where to look.
My cousin, aged 70, is very proud of the fact that he is almost, apart from his own son,  the last of the Buchanans! as far as we know. We are almost a totally female tribe. I hope that does not make us totally scary although from my research I have found some very strong women in my history.  PM

Thanks again and when the daffodils rise so will I to E 220.  PM

Maxcam,
Thank's, if you have time pop in to MHC Local Studies and ask to view the Airbles Disc (photos) scroll to E220 and you can view the headstone, copy for few pence, request to look at Motherwell Times Oct 22 1948 , Obituary, and acknowledgement for Annie get a copy, as above.
The staff,  Margaret, and Steven, will be glad to assist.
Good Luck.

Many thanks for your information and your understanding pm. This meant so much to my late Father and who knows we may well meet at The Heritage Centre. I have already called on their assistance and have been met on each occasion with such kindness. I shall return to my research within the next few weeks. Keep plodding on and digging deeper!
