Hi my father Adam Thomson Yule, was born in Tarbrax 1914, but moved back to Carluke where the Yule family lived before moving to Tarbrax. His father was John Yule a coal miner and his mother Elizabeth Thompson, John's parents were Thomas Yule and Catherine Morrison. I have researched the family history but would welcome any info. I have traced the Yules to Douglas in the 1700's.

Kind regards Victoria Yule Walker.

Hello, I am trying to find ancestres of Mary Caldwell, born 1883 and her family from Carluke, parents were James Henry Caldwell and Jessie Purdie. Thank you Bev Todd.

Would like to hear from anyone who has any stories about Dr. Daniel Rankin.

Also very interested in Milton-Lockhart House and Mauldslie Castle. I know Lockhart it was dismantled and shipped to Japan where it was renamed Lockheart Castle. What a wonderful stretch of the imagination THAT was.

I left Ashgill as a boy of 11 in 1963. My father was the local physician. We lived in a house named Lilybank (still there) on Ashgillhead road. A new (web) friend of mine was 17 at the time and happened to leave Ashgill at the same time. He has stories about the old house as it was a derelict in the late 1950's.

My parents would often drive us past the gate to the bridge for Mauldslie on the way to the Popinjay Hotel, but we never took much notice.

Thanks!
Jimmy

It has also been confirmed that David Jackson was serving in the Scots Guards and not the RASC as previously stated. On behalf of a friend I am seeking information on David Jackson born in 1920, son of Alexander Jackson and Jeanie Purdie that lived in 9 Highmill Road, Carluke; Alexander Jackson died in 1968, Jeanie Purdie died in 1950.David Jackson  was a serving soldier in the SCOTS GUARDS in 1944/45 near the towns of Bologna, ITALY (precisely: Castiglione dei Pepoli town).

He had some brothers: William Jackson Private in R.E.M.E. and that lived in 82 Miller Street, Carluke; Robert Jackson also in Scots Guards; John Jackson and another brother unknown first name.The photo of William, Robert and David Jackson appeared in the Carluke Gazette of 19 May 1944 with motor bikes in Italy.

I left Carluke in 1956 with my parents. I have been back twice and it still feels like coming home. I wonder if anyone remembers me?

My dad, Andrew Hamilton, sent me the link for this website.  Although I was born in West Yorkshire in 1969, I spent many a happy summer on Brown Street in Carluke with my grandparents (Jessie and Alec Hamilton).  It was great to look at the old pictures and although in the 1970's it had changed dramatically, it was good to see it again. I spotted the clothes shop where my Great Auntie Mary used to work. I also particularly remember a great little toy shop that my Gran used to take us to in the High Street - Happy days!

Just been having a look at the Carluke site.I left Carluke in 1961,have lived in England since but I am still very interested in the old place.It has changed dramatically since then and is no longer the little market town it was with the old High Street and shops.A couple of weeks ago I did a search on Carluke and ended up buying a few items from Amazon. One was a pictorial history of the town which I have found very interesting. As I remember, there was still one copy (used) available for sale.If I can help with any info in your searches, I would be pleased to. I was born in 1942 in Newbarns Street. My father was Alec (Sany) and my mother Jessie Robb Russell. The Russells in the 1930's used to have the coal and bus business at the garage in Hozier Street. It was destroyed by fire and grandad was not insured (as many weren't then) and the business was lost. My grandad, Andrew Hamilton, was a joiner and gunsmith. Later after he died, Gran married Mr Safely who had the jewellers in the High Street next to the cycle shop.. When they closed down my Uncle, Willie Russell, bought them both and turned them into a large fruit and veg shop in the 1950's. Dad died in 1999 and mum in 2003. Note my email address. There was an old boy in our street who always referred to Carluke as ekulrac. When I was looking for an acceptable email address all sorts of Hamilton combinations were suggested. I remembered the old boys name for Carluke and, as expected, it had not been used so I am now known as ekulrac to all my friends and family.

My grand parents emigrated from Carluke in 1923, John and Marion Brown (nee Tudhope). Trying to do family research.

I am tracing my family tree and discovered my Great Grandfather Hugh Mclean was killed in a mining accident in Carluke in 1886.

Grandparents came from Carluke.  Planning to visit Carluke in 2010 (May). Would like to do family research.
