John Thomson Ancestry Glasgow Scotland
This evening I am presenting an image of a Thomson family grave marker from Glasgow's Kirk Lane Cemetery, near Shawlands.
I find this particularly interesting because it was erected by one R.B. Thomson in memory of his parents, his mother being Betty Burns, the daughter of poet Robert Burns.
According to the inscription, John Thomson, husband of Betty Burns, died age 85 around 1873. It is believed that John was a soldier/handloom weaver in the Shaws.
It is strange that this historically significant memorial can be found in a nondescript cemetery.
