I may be asking the impossible

@Lodger is there online access to the Poor Books for the area ? (I have other ones where they might be helpful)

The Poor Relief applications for North Lanarkshire are on Ancestry.

Brilliant Thank you! A good nosey I shall have

Hi Ann,

Can you fit any of these 3 into your Stewart family?

ADAM MAIR, died February 1889 aged 57 years.
ALEXANDER STEWART, died August 1895 aged 7 months.
ALEXANDER STEWART, died November 1898 aged 52 years.

I can 

Adam Mair married Janet Stewart. They are my 3 x gts. Janet's dad is Alexander Stewart (He's the Thornbush one). And then of course his father who was married to Jane Walker.

The second Alexander Stewart in your list is Janet's younger brother - son of Alexander (Thornbush)

The first, can't see him in my tree. It's possible he was Jane's nephew. I've not checked out her siblings kids yet

It's Alexander Stewart born in 1814's parents BMD info I'm looking for.

Yes, I get that, but I've found the witnesses to baptisms in some other parishes useful, so I was clutching at that straw.

I get you Unfortunately the parish clerk who recorded them was a bit minimalist

BINGO!!!

The Alexander who died in 1865 is, for a reason we probably will never know, buried in a pauper's grave in the cemetery BUT, his son Alexander is recorded in the gravedigger's day book thus -

"Alexander Stewart, miner, Alicia Bank Orchard, aged 62 years, widower.
Parents - Alexander Stewart and Jane Walker.
Interred in the old churchyard on 9th July 1877".

There is a Plot Book for the churchyard but it only begins about 1878, so just misses the above Alexander. However, there is a Stewart family plot in that book with three post-1878 deaths recorded, Adam Mair and the two other Alexander Stewarts.
So, we now have the correct Stewart family resting place AND, I have the transcript of a headstone which probably doesn't exist any more. (I will have a look when the weather clears).

This is the transcription -

"Erected by Alexander Steurt and Jean Steurt in memory of their daughter Jean who died 17th March 1838 aged 1 year."

Is this your Alexander Stewart and Jean Walker? Or, an earlier generation?

[Ann Baker]

Oh! That's fantastic!

You're a mega star 

Thank you so much!

Hi

Jean is the daughter of Mr Thornbush. She died as a baby. They re-used the name with the next one
