My paternal great grandfather Andrew Whiteside and his young son were both victims of the 1877 mining disaster. I wondered if you have any information on what became of his wife Elizabeth Chalmers. I have tried to find out but I am not great on the Internet. Their daughter Annie was my grandmother.
I would be grateful for any information.
Thank you, Margaret Lyons.

Hello again Margaret,
As I said I am also the great grandson of Elizabeth and Andrew Whiteside.
Last detail I have of Annie is she was working as a servant at Kilmalcom Renfrewshire when she was 18.
I dont have Annie's family listed in my tree.
Is it possible you could send me details of her husband and descendants so I can update my tree on Ancestry. Did she leave Scotland or stay?
Many questions
I am happy to share what I have on the family.
Three siblings I know came to Australia and had families..
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks Andrew William Whiteside.

Hi Margaret, I am also a great grandson of Elizabeth Chalmers. I know she remarried a John Elliot after the mine disaster.
I cant find anything other than a census record that may be her and records in the North Lanarkshire poor records of 1883.
I would be grateful if you could pass any details to me if you manage to find anything your end.
Best Wishes
