  11. 12 September 1908 Burial · Cambusnethan, Lanarkshire, Scotland8 From Jim Leonard - 'The reason that Margaret who died in 1908 was sent back to Cambusnethan for burial was that paupers had to have 7 years residency in the parish before they could claim poor relief. Margaret obviously didn't have enough residency in Bellshill (Bothwell parish) so Cambusnethan parish had to "Accept Liability" (the phrase used in the original claims).'
