I've got a sort of McFarlane from Dunbartonshire too. Sort of, because she was my grandmother's step grandmother. Her name was Margaret McFarlane & she was born in about 1827 in Bonhill. I've not done any further research on her as I have enough trouble with my "proper" rellies

Hi Emamc,

Sorry, just seen your post due to computer problems over the last week.

Do you mean Dalbeth Cemetery? On the London Road, just along from Belvedere Hospital. My Granny's house (well my aunt's now), faces the front of Dalbeth, and they've been looking at it for the last 78 years.

Funny you should mention my McFarlanes and Dumbarton. My GGGrandmother, Annie McFarlane, was born at Old Kilpatrick c. 1829 according to the 1881 census. Her death certificate gives her parents as Parlane McFarlane (cotton spinner), and Agnes McFarlane nee Grant.

This is as far back as I go with my McFarlanes. though it's some time since I looked at them. I think I'll have another wee look. I could do with a change of surname.

Hi Christine

St Peter's Cemetery is on London Road at Dalbeth. The cemetery at the rear of Celtic Park is the Eastern Necropolis.

If you contact Glasgow City Council they will do a free search of upto 4 of their cemetery registers if you can provide details of who you are looking for.

Hope this link is helpful.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for that. I'm sure that in the dim, dark past, someone will have told me that it was St Peter's but we just thought of it as Dalbeth Cemetery.

I didn't actually know that there was a cemetery behind Parkhead. You've just opened another area for enquiry though. My late Gt Uncle Ned Hamill lived in the general area of Parkhead. Maybe I'll make some enquiries for him there.

Many Thanks,


Christine.

Hi
I can mibbie help out on some records.
I have a few Begley’s from Glasgow, mainly frae The Gorbals and The Calton.
John Begley married Rebecca McGhee in The Gorbals in 1867.
They had a son, Archibald, who died in infancy.
I have all Begley death records from the above parishes.
Also all McFarlane, hatches, matches and dispatches from Cardross, and quite a few frae Bonhill.
And all Parlan McFarlane deaths from the Stats.
The cemetery at Parkhead, we call it Janefield.

Re the Cemetary at Parkhead.


1758 was the same year that the McNairs purchased the estate of Little Hill, off the Camlachie Road, which they renamed Jeanfield. By 1764 a two-storey house had been erected, designed to Jean's specifications and noted as an architectural curiosity because of its irregular windows and "corkscrew" stairs. During the course of the 19th century "Jeanfield" became "Janefield", and from 1847 part of its grounds formed a cemetery. In the 1880s Janefield also had the distinction of providing the first playing field for Celtic football club.

Also buried there are several Jewish families, including Solomon’s and Lindens.
At Littlehill, jis facin’ the cemetery, past the auld General Wolfe pub.

Ma Faither wid often tell the tale o’ a big “darkie” who used tae stop the swing- boat wey a large wooden pole.
When a’ wiz a wean, Littlehill was a caravan site for the travelin’ folk during the winter.
A few o’the weans used tae play fitba’ at the tap o’ Glenpark street at the corner o’ Millerston street.
