Headstone pictures CAMBUSNETHAN CHURCHYARD WISHAW - Part 3

[Bella55]

Thanks Lodger.

If Mary White/Clark was 38 when interred in 1871, that makes her birth year around 1833 which would make her nearer in age to the William White I'm researching (born around 1828) but his death certificate had Colin White as father, not William.  I think I may be clutching at straws here hoping for a connection.  White isn't exactly a rare name and Mary, Robert and William were popular names at the time.

I've had a quick search of Scotlands' People for Mary's death certificate in hope of more details of her parents but not found anything yet.

Thanks also for further details re Thomas Steel and Margaret Haddow.

cheers,
Bella

See screenshot.

If you searched for Clark you would not find her. Using wildcards - cl*rk* - will find variations on spelling of Clark.

Hello
Regards the latest in the Steele saga.  Rachel Steele was married to Thomas who was the registrar at Wishaw.  He took over from his father also Thomas.  Rachel was the eldest daughter of John Hamilton and his wife, Elizabeth Burt Nisbet and John was killed in the Blantyre Pit disaster of 1877.  Elizabeth emigrated to USA with the remainder of her children and died in 1906.

Hello, Would you be able to send me the info re Reese/Dalziel please?

[Lodger]

Hi telephonist,

This is a two-sided stone, meaning there are inscriptions on each side with no way of knowing if the two families are related!

I do not have a picture of the stone, so it may not have survived the intervening years since I transcribed it back in 1983. However, this is the transcript -

"Erected by Thomas Reese and Jane Dalziel in memory of their son Thomas who died 27th May 1846 aged 14 months".
The other side has this inscription -
"Erected by Thomas and Ann Durber in memory of their son William who died 23rd June 1840 aged 14 months".

The cemetery plot book has the owners (in Victorian times) as Thomas Reese & Jane Dalziel.
The churchyard plot book has 2 entries for this plot (the book was only started about 1878) they are -

DAVID D. ANGUS, aged 3 years, interred 30th November 1881.
JAMES D. ANGUS, aged 2 years, interred 14th March 1888.

This next entry is from the gravedigger's day book and gives more information -

DAVID D. ANGUS, Wishaw, aged 3 weeks.
Parents - William A.F. Angus & Marion T. Dalziel.
Interred in the old churchyard on 21st July 1877.

This entry is from the new cemetery day book, a little discrepancy in the names but I think it's the same family.

THOMAS ANGUS, mineral weighman, Wishaw, aged 35 years, unmarried.
Parents -William John F. Angus & Marion F. Dalziel.
Interred in the cemetery, plot E1910 on 3rd October 1908.
Plot owned by William John Angus, steelworker, 110 Stenton Place, Wishaw.

2 more interments in that plot (E1910)

WILLIAM J.F. ANGUS, Wishaw, aged 1 year & 9 months.
Parents - William J.F. Angus & Bethia Shields.
Interred in E1910 on 4th August 1909.

WILLIAM J.F. ANGUS, Wishaw, aged 14 months.
Parents - William J.F. Angus & Bethia Shields.
Interred in E1910 on 14th June 1915.

This one is also in the new cemetery, not the churchyard,

WILLIAM ANGUS, joiner, Cleland, aged 72 years, married.
Parents - William Angus & Marion Hamilton.
interred in plot E634, 19th December 1908.

Finally, this one may or may not be connected to the above Angus family but, with all the names, it's worth looking at. Unfortunately, no first name(s) for his father.

JAMES ALFRED R. ANGUS, waggon greaser, Garriongill Junction, aged 13 years.
Parents  - - - - - Angus & Mary Rankin.
Interred in the cemetery, plot D140 on 19th October 1888.

Hope this helps in some way.

Wow, that was quick work, thankyou so much.

[Lodger]

You're welcome, I just hope you can use the information?
I checked my 1925 Wishaw Directory, there is no one named Reese or Reece living in the town but there are a few named Angus, particularly in the Cambusnethan village area.

1851 census has Thomas (born England) and Jane (born Cambusnethan) living in Motherwell
