John Scott, born 1851 in Dalziel, Lanarkshire, Scotland.

[Lionel-W]

According to the Scottish census of 1881, my great-grandfather, John Scott, born 1851, Dalziel, Lanarkshire, Scotland and married to Elizabeth S. Scott, born 1853 in Dalziel, was residing at "Glencairn Lodge", Dalziel with his children: Robert H.B. Scott, born 1877; Charlotte E. K. Scott, born 1878; Mary Pennycuik Whapole Scott, born 1879 (my grandmother) and Thomas K. Scott, born 1881. All  children were born in Dalziel. In addition, in the household was Mary Scott, sister to John Scott, born 1856 and a widow, probably with her children: James King, born 1874 in Cambusnethan,Lanarkshire; Mary P.S. King, born 1875 in Dalziel; Marion R. King, born 1877 in Dalziel; Robert S. King, born 1878 in Dalziel; Archibald R. King, born 1880 in Hamilton, Lanarkshire. If anybody out there has any information as to what happened to the family, I would very much appreciate being informed. Three months ago I had no more information than the name of my grandmother and that she had lived in Scotland; that was all. Thank you for any assistance.

You need to go to www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk for all the original records. Your Scotts' and Kings' births, as you would expect, are all in the indexes, and for a modest fee you can view the original birth certificates. These will tell you the date and place of their parents' marriage, and the marriage certificate will tell you the full names of the grandparents including the grandmothers' maiden surnames.

I can't see deaths of Charlotte, Mary or Thomas, but a Robert Henry Scott, who may be your Robert H B, died in Cadder in 1945.

Happy hunting!

 If you do a google search for 9 Glencairn Avenue Wishaw, you will find Glencairn Lodge still standing and inhabited today. That part of Dalziel parish was in the postal town of Wishaw. This confuses a lot of people!

This is possibly John's birth details:

John Scott b. 1 Dec 1850 New Monkland, Lanark,
Parents Robert Scott and Mary Pennycuik

John's marriage or death cert should include his parents' details to let you confirm their details.

Three more burials from Cambusnethan cemetery. I should have check to see if A40 was a single or double plot. turns out it's a double plot.
So the first 2 are in A41.

Parents - James Pennycuick and Margaret Barr.
27 February 1889.

ROBERT SCOTT, spirit merchant, Wishaw, aged 67 years, widower.

this last intement is in plot A56 (so, very close to A40 & 41)
