Hello Chris,

Had a "middle of the night" moment. Where were they buried before 1899? Looked at the Bathgate records and there is family from Woodend from 1876 to 1898. Have sent you a PM.

Hi Chris,
 On the 1851 Census there is a Martha Dallas lodging 77 Hall Craig Street, Airdrie New Monkland. She is a 14 year old Factory girl (d.o.b 1836/37?) born New Monkland.
Martha is lodging with a family called Roberts.
Also lodging at this address are-
George Niven age 27 Ironstone Miner born Glasgow
James Niven  age 18  Ironstone Miner born New Monkland.

Just a suggestion,
Maybe Martha's name (the one she was christened with) was actually Margaret.
There is a Margaret Dallas born at New Monkland 3 Nov 1836 and christened 11 Dec 1836 - her father is George Dallas her mother Margaret Niven.

This would make sense with Martha calling her son George Niven Maxwell.
Also wonder if the girl I found on 1851 Census lodging along with 2 Nivens (George and James) is perhaps alone with cousins or uncles??

Looby

Hi Again Chris.

Margaret Nivin married George Dallas at New Monkland Aug 1836.
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XT1W-G4J

Margaret Niven married Alexander Lamond at New Monkland Jul 1840
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XT1W-XJ6

Suspect this is the same woman - George Dallas probably died 

1841 Census  Graham Street, Airdrie , New Monkland

Alexander Lamond  age 25 Coal Miner   born outside Census County
Margret  Lamond     age 25                  born Lanarkshire
Martha Lamond   age 4               born Lanarkshie
George Lamond       age 3                    born     "
Robert Lamond       age 5 months         born     "

I'm sure this is Martha in 1841 on the Census with her stepfather's surname.

Margaret Niven and George Dallas also had a son George in 1838 -https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XT1W-XJ6

Can't find a birth for Robert Lamond but would assume he was Alexander Lamond's son going by the dates.
And can't find any of the family ( bar Martha lodging with the Roberts and with the 2 Nivens) on the 1851.
Looby
