Here is the burial record from Cambusnethan cemetery for this man. BENJAMIN WILLETS. Ironworker, Wishaw, aged 54 years, marital status - single. Parents - Benjamin Willets and Phoebe Mason. Interred in common ground, 15th January 1909. If he was, as stated in the records, buried as a pauper, I doubt very much if there was a newspaper obit: I have given this information out already - it rings a bell! There may well be some info in the Poor Relief records, held at the City Archives within the Mitchell Library, Glasgow. Jim Leonard, Motherwell.

Hello Jim Thank you so much for your reply. If you remember who inquired about Benjamin previously, could you put them in touch with me as I have lots of information on the Clive and Willetts familie's. Also is there a n email address for enqurie's at the Mitchell as I live in the USA Again Thank You Bob -------------------------------------------------- From: <jleon2447@blueyonder.co.uk> Sent: Sunday, December 20, 2009 4:53 AM To: <lanark@rootsweb.com> Subject: Re: [Lanark] Obituary (Willets) > Here is the burial record from Cambusnethan cemetery for this man. > BENJAMIN WILLETS.

Hi Bob Was he a local dignitary or notable figure? I ask as there is unlikely to be an obituary for the average man in the street There may be a death notice but even those are few when compared to the amount of events Always worth checking for of course but unless he was a man of means he is unlikely to get a mention Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Hello List > > I am seeking a local newspaper for Wishaw in 1909 that might have an > obituary for Benjamin Willetts.

Hello Nivard He is the only Benjamin Willetts in Scotland , you are correct. They brought in English tradesmen to work in the Iron works, Jane Clives husband also came for the same reason. he is living in Dalziel on the 1901 census. On the death certificate dated 13 Jan 1909 it looks like 54 and his parents are given as Benjamin Willetts and Phoebe Mason, I have been searching on the Black Country Forum and we have looked for a Phoebe Mason marriage to a Willetts None were found , These are people with Willetts in their trees. They are pretty sure he is the right one so they asked did he name any children Thomas or Phoebe so I answered yes his first daughter was Phoebe . The address on the death certificate is 7 Bells Rows, Wishaw . Jane Clive was the witness and she was described as an Inmate. All the children from Phoebe down were Willetts . Phoebe's state that Jane Clive said Thomas Clive is not the Father and she has not lived with him for three years. Bob

Hello Nivard I was just feeling about trying to find information on Benjamin . I have the family he sired in Scotland and I am quite sure his parents were not as given on his Death Certificate. for a name like Benjamin Willetts there are very few of them, I think 7 in 81 and 9 in 1891 and 1901 I have a good candidate for him from Dudley,Worcestershire. Again Thank You Bob

Hello List I am seeking a local newspaper for Wishaw in 1909 that might have an obituary for Benjamin Willetts. It would be nice if he could be found in some ones tree. I think his age is wrong on the death certificate. Any information would be welcome. Bob

Hi again, Thanks to everyone for all your helps regarding these names of mine. HADDOW is a bit of a problem because both lines are quite far back (pre 1855) 1 - Mary HADDOW married James BOYD, date as yet unknown, but around 1825 and probably in Dalserf/Larkhall. 2 - James BOYD, son of the above married JANE HADDOW 1869 in Bothwell. Jane HADDOW's parents are: William Haddow and Isabella McCallum, and all I know of either of them is that Isabella's mother is Catherine (1851 census). William died around 1850, as his last child was born in 1850, and Isabella is noted as a widow in the 1851 census. Mary HADDOW's parents are: James Haddow and Jane Brownlie, i have no further information as yet. Most of my research has gone into the LINDSAY line of my tree, which is my primary Scottish name, for which I have loads of information. But as i said, the HADDOW line is prior to 1855 so records may or may not exist. I currently have a truckload of work to do on my New Zealand names, so much of the information is partial, no dates, just names, and in some cases, just first names. Thanks again for everyone's help.

Hello Dean You said: 'PS: Noting the FRAME discussion earlier on, unfortunately I only have one FRAME in all my 8,800 names. Margaret Frame, married Cornelius Watson. Their daughter Janet Watson married Robert Lindsay, brother of my gt-gt-grandfather George Lindsay (and grandsons of the aforementioned George Lindsay)' The Frame line back from your Margaret Frame connects to my Frame family. My great-grandfather immigrated to Australia from Hamilton, Lanark in 1883. Margaret Frame's line is a new branch connection for us and only found recently thanks to DNA testing. Due to ambiguous census data, we originally thought Margaret's father James (twin) Frame born 1809 had not survived to adulthood. After results came in, we combined research efforts and later found conclusive documentation (death certificate) to prove the connection being 'sign-posted' by the DNA result. My direct line descends from James's brother John Frame. The direct line of descent to Margaret is: *Robert Frame c.1705 of Sheephouseneuk and Struther, Larkhall (tentative death date 5 Jun 1755 - mort cloth rental - no certainty that it was for this Robert Frame) m. Ann/Anna Thomson *George Frame bapt. 5 Mar 1744 Sheephouseneuk, Larkhall, Dalserf par. d. aft. 1797 m. Elizabeth Hamilton *Andrew Frame bapt. 18 Aug 1776 Larkhall, Dalserf par. d. bet. 1841-51 prob. Larkhall m. Elizabeth Peters *James (Twin) Frame b. 13 Dec 1809 Auldtoon, Larkhall d. 25 Apr 1859 Longdales Asylum Bothwell m. Margaret Weir *Margaret Douglas Frame b. 18 May 1834 Larkhall d. 5 Jun 1878 Flemington Rows Cambuslang m. Cornelius Watson Hope this helps. Kindest regards Julie (Frame) Falk NSW Aust

Dean, did you have the transcription from Jim Bundy for... [LKS] Shotts, various records, note 187 - Monday, 25 October 2004 Mortcloth & Proclamation Money Page 244 1845 Jan 9 By Glaud Storrie, Labourer, Airdrie, aged 89 years "2"10 Page 247 1845 Jul 5 By James Davidson in this Parish and Janet Storrie in the Parish of Whitburn "2"6 Regards Jenny

Forwarded with permission..........a site to browse. Jenny ----- Original Message ----- To: aberdeen@rootsweb.com I came across this site recently and thought that other list members may be interested http://www.scotlandsplaces.gov.uk it has a lot of photographs and old maps and some interesting other things like a 1797 roll listing those liable for the horse tax, which contains a list of names, addresses and number of horses. So it may prove useful to some list members to have a look. In particular http://www.scotlandsplaces.gov.uk/hay_shennan/pdfs/aberdeenshire-boundaries.pdf which is the report on the redrawing of parish boundaries for 1892. I'll also make a quick mention of http://www.lostcousins.com which is an excellent and quick to use site for matching up people from the 1881 census. Basically you enter anyone in your tree who you have found on the 1881 census and because it asks for a reference from the census eg: district/page number etc which you get from sites such as Scotland's people, Familysearch.org & Ancestry.com etc it can make a 100% definite match up with anyone else who shares the same relative. It's very quick to enter everyone once you get started, and no-one but you ever sees the data you have entered until you make a match. Once a match is found, which is almost instant when you enter the data, it alerts you and the other person there is a match and gives you the opportunity to contact each other. Really useful and 100% matching unlike say "hot matches" on other sites such as Genes Reunited. -- Alexander Bisset IT Administrator Aberdeen Harbour Board

Hi again, Thanks to everyone, your help has been amazing. Now, before I go any further, please note: "I have come across this name while searching for the families of Robert Graham, who married Margaret Haddow. Their daughter Mary Graham married Alexander Lindsay." Alexander Lindsay is in my line, I am descended from George Lindsay and Janet Gold. this particular line though, apart from the obscure place name, caught my attention because of HADDOW, another of my names. i have 2 lines of Haddow in my research, both connected to BOYD, which eventually connects to LINDSAY. I will definitely be looking more at this line to see if it connects in any way to my Haddow lines. I have been filling in gaps in the tree, such as parents of husbands/wives, and also their marriage date (and place). You never know, someone may eventually connect to the same line further back, anything is possible. I have a LOT of Scottish information i can't find dates for, and most are Lanarkshire/Ayrshire. (Lindsay and Lambie are the main culprits, some are too recent though). Thanks again for everyone's help.
