Please do send me the URL A map of the area will, hopefully, put this in perspective. My g-g-grandparents lived in Newarthill after they were married. But their first child was b. in Old Monkland, 2nd and 3rd in Newarthill, 4th in Motherwell, and 5th Newarthill. then they emigrated to U. S. c 1848. Am trying to figure out whether this was because they were moving around or????? Many thanks Marion From: "David Hamilton" <[email protected]> Bothwell parish and Dalziel parish respectively ~~~~~~~~~~ From: "WILLIAM JOHN SHEPHERD, SR." <[email protected]> Newarthill was part of the parish of Bothwell and civil district of Holytown.
