Headstone pictures CAMBUSNETHAN CHURCHYARD WISHAW - Part 2

[ard]

Hi Lodger

Since my first posting on this subject way back in 2011, I have, over the succeeding years, gathered quite a few new pictures and, unfortunately, lost one or two as well!
Here are the new additions and, at the end, the ones I have managed to make disappear from the files![/b]

I am researching the HENDRY, GRAY & KING family group which is included in your list.

Has anyone already asked about this? (I did a search but was unable to locate it, if so) I have Robert Hendry as the son of Robert and Ann (King), married to Margaret Gray (I was thinking she may have been the daughter of James Gray and Helen Swan but I am unable to corroborate this).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks so much!

Ard, here is the stone you asked for. Robert Hendry died 27th June 1879 aged 65 years. His wife Margaret Gray died 7th September 1892 aged 74 years. Their son John died 2nd December 1859 aged 2 years. Their daughter Ann King Hendry died 26th October 1942 aged 82 years.

Margaret Gray died in Edinburgh and is registered as Maggie Hendry, mother's maiden surname given as Swan. So you can have a look at the certificate. According to the free index on Scotlandspeople she died in the district of St Giles, so perhaps she was a patient at the Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh?

Oh, that is excellent! Thanks so much. I didn't have any of that information.
So Margaret's parents must be James Gray and Helen Swan as I suspected. It's always fun when a hunch is confirmed ;-) Robert's parents Robert Hendry and Ann King. (in case anyone else is researching that family!)
Before John and Ann, Robert sr. and Margaret Gray had Robert King Hendry, James Gray Hendry, William Hendry (1853-1859), Helen S (Swan?) Hendry.

As always,
ard

PS I have now found Margaret's birth record - On Scotland's People, her mother's surname is transcribed as Levan!
