Hi Everyone
As of Next Tuesday (5th of Jue 2007) can now start doing the lookups again.
I go everyweek to the lds on a tuesday if anyone would like a lookup done.
they have CERTIFICATES to view from 1855-1881 and also the Scottish Birth Marriage and Death index from 1855-1955 this covers all of Scotland
Also 1841-1891 Census for Fife and for most of scotland
if you require a lookup on any census except the 1881-1891 please give me the place were they would be on the census as i cant do blancket searches it would take to long. Also if you require a Lanarkshire lookup like GLASGOW could you please give a possible street or parish there is alot of films for glasgow and it justs takes to long to go through Sorry but this Lds Center doesnt have records for Inverneshire and Nairnshire . List of Census Area they have
All of Fife Scotland
Aberdeen
Angus
Lanarkshire
Midlothian
Perthshire
West Lothian
Stirlingshire
If you require a look up of the 1881 i have this at home so can lookup anywere know problem.
the 1891 census has an index so can look up a name if you are not sure were they might be.
1901 Census
If anyone needs a 1901 lookup i can do that at the local library for Fife but this will only be for fife and as it doesnt have an index you need to give me alot of info because i wont be able to do blanket searches for names.
If you require a 1901 census lookup please staight this in your reply
So need as much info you can give me.
They also have Fife Old Parish records but need as much info on this as you can give me.
Also have Irish Marriages from 1845 app there isnt any earlier than this so dont ask for any further back than this date and please give a date i will lookup 2 years either way .

Fifer, Your generous offer of lookups is very much appreciated! I'd like a lookup request on the 1841 Fife Census, if possible, for a Morris family:
Henry Morris, b.c1817, Abdie.
Janet Morris, wife
Euphemia, daughter, b.1837, Dunino.
Hope this is enough info?

Hi Meg
Do you have any idea were they might be on the 1841 census as it would be easier to search for them.
I will be going to book into the lds tommorow so will have a look for you then and get back to you as soon as i find something.
Angela
-
Angela, Hopefully they will be in either Abdie or Dunino, but I can't be sure. Please don't go to any length looking for them as I do realize that I haven't really given enough for you to go on. meg

Hi fifer
Perhaps you may be able to help me with a query please.
William married in Macclesfield, Cheshire in 1830, but he lost his wife in childbirth in 1848; two weeks later losing his son as well - so he upped and left Macclesfield and went to Southwell Notts where his eldest daughter was now living and working in Maythorne Silk Mill as a twister.
But I then found a second marriage for him and a new wife as follows:
Parish Register - Glasgow Old Parish
1850 13th February :
William Swarbrooke, silk throwster in Glasgow & Margaret Wylie
residing there married 1st Feb by John Graham, Independent
Minister in Glasgow.
A son James was born to them in 1852 at Paisley in Scotland (site of a silk mill?) so it is probably safe to assume that they were there for the 1851 census, but I know he was back in Southwell, Notts when a daughter Sarah was born 28th December 1856.
Is it possible that you could possibly find an entry in the Scottish 1851 census, possibly Paisley or district.
I would be most gratefull

Hi Angela,
Just wondered if you would be able to look up anything in Falkirk if I send you the details. I have trawled through countless Scottish Records for a marriage for my aunts ancestors because her great grandparents were both born in Falkirk, and she reckoned they married up there before they moved to Liverpool (she didn't know when) I eventually found that they married in Liverpool ( I came across it by chance when I was looking for a marriage on my own side) She wants to find the births her great grandparents and has a good idea of when they were born.
I would appreciate any help
Thanks
Viv ::) ::)

Can you help with my McNalty man, I've tried everywhere on net including Scotlandspeople but Fife records seem hard to find. The man I'm looking for was my great great grandfather, the details I have are:
John McNalty
Army discharge papers say born in Parish of Lochgelly Fife, attested at Edinburgh on 9 July 1879 for the Royal Engineers at the age of 20 3/12 years. He was discharged 8 July 1891 in Chatham Kent.
His marriage cert says his father was Alexander McNalty.
His sons marriage cert says John's middle names are Henry Patten but Army and his marriage cert show his name as just John McNalty.
I've tried everywhere I can think of to find him or his father but have had no luck.
If you can help with any info on him or know of any sites which cover Fife I would be most grateful, thank you.

Hi meg
had a look for your morris but im afraid there isnt a 1841 for abdie that was one of the places that went down on the ship there wasabout 6 other places as well as abdie that there isnt the 1841 .

Sorry
Fifer

Hi Chris
Checked Paisley 1851 Census For you but couldnt findthem on either of the films for paisley started to check Glascow itself with the parents being married there but there id 5 films for that district so it may take a while to find them.
Fifer

Hi Patches
Had a look for your John Mcnalty could only find 2 johns born Lochgelly for the right time going that you said he was 20 when he joined the army in 1879 but none of them have a father Alexander.
Both entries i found
Were
John Mcknolty Born 24 MAr 1824 1858 Lochgelly
Father John Mcknolty and Margaret Kelly
And John Mcnolty Born 19 MAr 1859 Lochgelly Father Anthony Mcknolty/Margaret Linch.
that was all i could find i could look again next week for you i checked for 1857 as well there was none there.
Let me know if you require the rest of the details of the above it will be just awritten copy of them though as the lds doesnt have there machines fixed to a printer

re Morris Lookup on Census:
Fifer,
Thanks for looking. Appreciate your time and generousity. meg

Hi Patches
While Searching the Death Index on Rootsweb
I came across the following death Entry dont know if you already have it as you didnt say but thought i would post it anyway
John patten Mcnalty
Death 1892 Dec Quar Kent
no 2a 326
If you send for this it may give you his mothersname which may be something else i can go on up here
hope this is some help
Angela

Hi Angela
Thanks everso. It looks like this man is going to be hard to track down, I've tried everwhere to find him (I can't help thinking there is something amiss with the info on army or marriage cert), I think you're right I'm going to have to spend some pennies and get the death certificate, which'll hopefully give me a few more clues. I'll post again when I get it but thanks for trying.
Patches
-
Hi Angela
Got the death cert but it doesnt say much, just that he died 11 Dec 1892 and 33 he was a Stonemason (journeyman), his name was shown as John Patten McNalty, and the address is the right one for the family.
looks like I'll not be going much further with this one
Thanks for your help

I am looking for information on a Yuill family that resided in High Church Paisley in 1860 and Abbey, Paisley in 1861. Dugald Yuill (b. 1836) and his wife Janet Cochrane (b. 1839). Dugald was the son of James Yuill (b. 1806) and Margaret Hardie (b. 1807). In March 1861, Dugald and Janet had a son James Yull (a bit early as they were only married for 5 months when he was born).
Could you look up the 1851 and 1861 Census for James and Margaret Yuill and Dugald and Janet Yuill? The Yuill's worked in as weavers in the shawl manufacturing business. Dugald and his wife and kids came to the US in 1868, settling in NY as a block cutter. He became moderately successful, owning his own home and remaining active in Scottish clan groups.
Any information on their households would be greatly appreciated. Not much is known about the family in Scotland and I would love to learn more. Please let me know if you need more information.

Hi Fifer
Just noticed you message posted on 3rd June
Checked Paisley 1851 Census For you but couldnt findthem on either of the films for paisley started to check Glascow itself with the parents being married there but there id 5 films for that district so it may take a while to find them.
Apologies for not answering it earlier, but as previously said, have only just found it.
Thanks for looking, and keeping my fingers crosssed that you may still be able to locate them.

Fifer,
Thank you so much for the information on the Yuill family. I have found some information on Familysearcg. I will probably ask you for more later this week. I greatly appreciate your time. It is so hard to get the Scottish Census in the US and I really want to learn more about my mother's family.
Thank you again!- Kristin (Nutkin) ;D

Hello Angela,
I hoping you can help me with two families in the Newton, Midlothian area. They are David Phillip b 1792, wife Isabella and children Jean b 1830, Elizabeth , 1827, James b 1825 and Alexander b 1822. There is also a son, David b 1815 and wife Janet and their children Elizabeth b 1838 and Mark b 1840.
If you can give me any details either with the 1841 or 1851 census, that would be much appreciated. Thank you
Karenn ::)
-
Fifer,
After all your fantastic help with my Yuill family, I am going to ask about my Cochrane family. I would like to find Michael Cochrane and wife Margaret Young Cochrane in the 1841 and 1851 Census. They had a daughter born in 1839 in High Church, Paisley, Renfrew. So I am assuming they were still residing there. The pickle is Michael was born in Stewarton, Renfrewshire and Margaret were born and they married in Loudoun, Ayreshire. So they might be in Ayreshire.
Thank you for all your help!- Nutkin ;D

Hi Nutkin
Couldnt find much on these as they are really big films to look through and i dint manage to get through it all so i will check again next week.

Sorry again :(
Angela

No problem. You learn patience in the family history game..... ;)
-
Fifer,
I do not think these are my Cochranes.
Here is a bit more to narrow it down. I have a marriage license of Michael and Margaret Cochrane's daughter,Janet, from 1860. Michael Cochrane is alive and his occupation is a light porter. Janet Cochrane(the daughter) was born in High Church, Paisley ,Renfrew in 1839. The marriage certificate is for High Church, Paisley, Renfrew in 1860. I am assuming that they still lived there and Michael was alive. The wife was born in 1805 in Loudoun, Ayr and I blieve but not sure that Michael was born in Renfrewshire.
I greatly appreciate your work. Let me know if you need more details that can assist you.- Nutkin ;)

Hi
I'm wondering if you would be able to look for LIVINGSTONE the next time you go. My 4th grt-grandfather JOHN LIVINGSTONE (b. 1833) married CRAWFORD SPENCER (b. 1833) 31 Dec 1851 in Glasgow. Unfortunately I have not yet uncovered the names of John's parents and wonder if you have access to any sources that may help locate them.
Thanks
Wendy

Thank you Angela for all your help.

hi Fifer
When you have the time could you look for the following family in the 1841 and 1861 census. The following information was given to me as being from the 1851 census. All I really know about this family is that they were in Inverness and that there should be a Peter or Patrick born approx 1829. I have been told that it was in the Parish of Moy and Dalarossie, Knockandroo Village or Hamlet if that is of any help.
NAME HOUSEHOLD AGE BORN PROFESSION
John Grant Head 50 yrs Elgin Buthil Blacksmith
Elizabeth Wife 45 yrs Moy & Delarossie
John Son 20 yrs Moy & Delarossie Blacksmith
Janet Daughter 17 yrs Moy & Delarossie Scholar
Donald Son 13 Yrs Moy & Delarossie Scholar
Eliza Daughter 4 yrs Moy & Delarossie
Donald Grandson 1 yr Moy & Delarossie

Hi Fifer!
I am looking for the Parker family in the 1841/1851 Lanarkshire Census.
Barony, Glasgow, Lanarkshire.
Archibald Parker
Wife Agnes (nee Andrew) Parker
Children Jean (b. 1832) and Archibald Jr. (born 1834). An older daughter Agnes died in 1838.
Archibald and Agnes were probably born around 1810 in Barony as they married in November 1828.
These names come from a bible in our family. I am at an impasse in finding the next generation to link with my Yuill/Kennedy g-g grandparents as the surnames Andrew and Parker are not in my recent tree. I am guessing a maternal line though the Kennedy family rather than the Yuills. I am hoping the Census will help me with the ages and place of birth of the parents.
Thanks a bunch- Nutkin

Hiya
Sorry i had alot of bother with the 1841-1851 census for you lookup for somereason all the films were numbered wrong and we didnt know which one was witch as soon as i am able to i will check again for you
Angela :(

Hi Fifer.
Many thanks for the WEBSTER 1871 census info. The eldest daughter is Louisa. Great that Matilda is on there. Was the Scottish census for 1871 taken on 2nd April like England?
If you do get a chance (I know you've had a lot of requests) could you possibly look on 1861 census for William Webster? He married in 1864 so I am hoping he will be with his family. His father was called James and his mother Elizabeth (I think!)
Elrick
between 1865 and 1869 I know that the ELRICKS i'm looking for where living at 35 Jack's Brae Aberdeen.
between1861 - 1863 they were at 1 Upper Leadride (?) Gilermaton (?), Aberdeen and before that 14 or 16 Jack's Brae and Gerrard Street.
-
Hi Twink
I just Reliased i forgot to add what street they were in
They were at 48 Shiprow St Nicholas South Aberdeen
Sorry again

Hi Angela
Thanks for letting me know

Fifer,
Thank you for letting me know. I can wait patiently. I understand that Glasgow is a rather lsrge area and there are probably tons of Cochranes and Parkers living there.

Hi
Thank you for your look-up offer. I know it takes a lot of time, as I do a little myself but I find it very rewarding. have had a problem for some time now as my ancestor appears to have been born in Fifeshire about 1729 according to his obituary in the local paper. His name was John Pitblade or Pitbladdy or Pladdy (Pronunciation has produced many variations and he was a gardener at Millom Castle - his first child in Cumberland was down as Andrew Peart Bloddy!) This child was baptised 27 December 1861 in Millom, to John and Jane, but Jane was also known as Jenny Pladdy - again quoted from her obituary, though her age wasn't given. The nearest to age in the IGI baptisms for a John Pitblade is 1725 and I know that some are not on the IGI and that the ages do not always tally. If you have time could you check any BT's for this. Thank you

Fifer, When you can, I would like to request a lookup in the Fife Old Parish Records, for the birth of a William Chalmers in May 1836. He was married in Forgan Parish, but he was entered as a Paper Mill Worker, Markinch. His mother listed as Euphemia Chalmers, Father Thomas Watt.
If you can find any info on his birth, it would be very much appreciated. With thanks meg

Hi Fifer,
Do the Scottish Birth Marriage and Death indexes at the LDS Centre have a search facility the way they do on Scotlandspeople?
IF they do & you have the time I'd appreciate any references to the surname Kreglin.
I have already got the years that you can search online, so I have the deaths of Elise 1924, Katherina 1935, Clara 1943, Ernest Charles Christopher 1953.
I also have the marriage of Olive Tina Rubin Kreglin to Donald Orr in 1928.
The information I have so far has been registered in either Greenock or Glasgow.
So it's basically any marriages after 1928 or births after 1903.
(The son's might have had children, tho I haven't found marriages for them)
The family were still in London til at least 1914 so I already have the census info.
Is what I'm requesting possible? I certainly don't want, or expect something that will take up hours of your time.
Regards
Chris
-
Hi Chris
the index;s are just an index i wouldnt be able to do lookups for the bride or groom depending on if it was a male or female for example as i would need the name .
as the index's will be upto 1955 it would take to long to search ias im waiting on films comming in at the moment to search through i would not have the time at the moment .But if you are willing to wait it may be a few months i would be able to maybe search through a couple at a time and give you the results.
Fifer :)
-
Thanks Fifer,
I'm more than happy to wait, IF you have the time/inclination to search.
Both the Kreglin boys were much older than their sister, (Ernest Gordon born 1888, Herbert Charles 1898) so I very much doubt that there would be a marriage to find.
So it would be just births from the Orr - Kreglin marriage so after 1928, providing of course the index lists the mother's maiden name.
I fully understand if it's too difficult/time consuming to do.
Thanks
Chris :)
-
Hi Chris
i have had a look at the years from 1928-1936 for ORR births but havent came across any orrs that had the right mother but ill check later years next week .
Sorry
Angela :(

Hello Fifer,
I wondered if you could please look up 1841 census for Lanarkshire, I guess it would be Glasgow.
I'm looking for an Elizabeth McDougall (widow) with three children. Duncan born 1836, Elizabeth born 1838 and Archibald born 1840. Any help greatly appreciated.
Regards
Liz
-
Fifer,
I don't want to be a burden, but if you get the chance..can you check on the details of my gggrandfather's birth in Scotland. I don't know if it's even the right area, but he was born March 17, 1856 in Clyde Glasgow Scotland. If you could do that it would be much appreciated. If not..I still appreciate the offer. Thanks so much!! :)

I don't want to be a burden, but if you get the chance..can you check on the details of my gggrandfather's birth in Scotland. I don't know if it's even the right area, but he was born March 17, 1856 in Clyde Glasgow Scotland. If you could do that it would be much appreciated. If not..I still appreciate the offer. Thanks so much!!
Minime
Hi Minime
I will look at the indexs for you on Tuesday.but you will need to let me know his name as it will be impossible without it.

Hi Angela, Thank you for replying, I'm not sure if I can narrow it down for you a bit. Elizabeth McDougall's youngest son Archibald was born Oct 1840 in Old Wynd, Trongate, Glasgow. Possibly the family could still be there. If not please don't trail through miles of micro film for Glasgow, I thought the FHS might have had a names index for 1841.
Thanks again for any help.

Oh duh..just showed the true nature of being a blonde there Fifer. So sorry. :-[
His name was Thomas Francis Birchall and his parents were Thomas N. Birchall and Frances Cooper.
Again, thank you.

Fifer,
Could you do a look up in the BMD Indexes for me?
Agnes Bryden Young. She was born 1783 (+or- 1 yr) in Mauchline Ayrshire. I have her husband's death cerificate that says she died x months before her husband. Andrew Young died on November 25, 1862. He worked as a cow feeder and they lived on Wellmeadow Street in High Church, Paisley, Renfrew and with their daughter's family: Michael Cochrane. The the death must be in 1862. Her maiden name is also transcribed as Braidie or Brayden.
Question 2 is for the 1841 Census in Ayrshire:
Houshold of Michael Cochrane in Darvel, Loudon Parish, Ayrshire. Michael was a farmer and born in 1775 in Avondale, Lanarkshire. Wife was Agnes Mair born in Loudon in 1778. I belive the farm's name is Dyke Farm.
Thanl you very much!- Kristin :)

Darvell Loudon PArish
Address is just listed as Darvell
Michael Cochrane age 65 Cotton?(couldnt make out the rest) Not Born in area

Hi Minime
this is what i came across but i dont know if it will help much because you already have the date but atleast it will confirm the area for you.
Thomas Birchall : Clyde Glasgow 335 1856
Angela :)
-
Angela,
That looks to be my Michael Cochrane. He was born at the right time. Born in Avondale, Lanarkshire. he must have remarried.
If you see anything else when you look again it would be greatly appreciated.
Kristin ;D
-
Thank you Angela, This lady and her family are proving very difficult to find, in fact impossible. I have the 1851 and 1861 census index for Glasgow and they are nowhere to be found in either of them.
Archibald was born Glasgow 1840 and married in Glasgow 1862, so where on earth has he disappeared to?
If you don't mind Angela, yes I would like to see those other McDougalls The other two children that I know of were Duncan born 1836 and Elizabeth born 1838.
Thanks again for your help and your time

Thank you Angela. Now I know for sure and can get a copy to see what else I can find. You're the best. ;D

Hi Fifer
Is there any chance you could look up the ELRICK family for me on the census returns. 1861 and 1871 if possible. Do they have earlier?
They were in Aberdeen (see previous postings by me).
Henry elrick was born c1834/5 (although i've had no luck on line finding his birth through scotlandspeople).
His parents were John ELRICK and May COUTTS (she died in 1857 age 64).
He married in 1856 to Isabella COPLAND.
Many thanks

Hi twink
Did i not get back to you about your lookup im so sorry ive had major problems with pc lately and have only just managed to get back to the lds this week so ill check your info when i go next tuesday.
I cant go tommorow im afraid as a family freind died and its his funeral tommorow but i wil llet you know on tuesday after 5pm how i got on
I think they have the census's from 1841-1891 but i coudnt say for deffinate as its not a place ive searched alot off .
Fifer :)

I'm not sure if you will be able to help, but keeping my fingers crossed....in 1853 an ancestor from Yorkshire died in Helensburgh.....Maria Dunlop (nee Simpson) no idea why she was there - but have been unable to find her husband Robert Dunlop in any of the English census after that.
As she was born 1816 I would think he would have been about the same age....and he was a plasterer. Would there be any indexes for the 1861 and 1871 census in and around that area that you could have a peek at please? They had one son that I know of - Thomas Simpson Dunlop born in Yorkshire in 1840...again have nothing on him - so possibly with his father.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Arabella
Il see what i can do for you.

Hi Fifer
Could you please look at b m d to see if you could find my g g grandmother, all I know is that she was born in Glasgow in approx 1862 her name was Margaret McAlpin, don't know her fathers name but mother's was same. I think she went back to Scotland after g grandfather died in 1899 and married again as when she died in Stockport her name was then Jones, but can not find her on England 1901 census, so presume she may have gone back to Scotland.
Any help appreciated.
Thank you

I know the following about henrys parents:
John ELRICK was a cotton weaver and he died prior to 1856. His wife May ELRICK Nee COUTTS (Marjory possibly - i'm waiting for the marriage certificate which you mentioned above) died on 24/9/1857 aged 64 at 17 Jacks brae, Old Machar.

Hello. This is a very kind offer. If possible and not too much trouble, could you please look up the following:
William Youngson married Elizabeth Doig 25/2/1833 in Parish of Dundee
Batch No M112825
Dates 1820-1854
Source Call No: 0993404
Film
Printout Call: 6902959
Ages of William & Elizabeth would be appreciated (hopeful that it will tie in with a William Youngson born 21/9/1809 and possibly Elizabeth Doig born 7/6/1812). Looking also for any possible info on parents names or indeed anything else that may be recorded, to help me tie in with my own findings.
Thanks, in advance, for your help.
:)
-
Hi Fifer
Thank you so much for taking the time to check for me, I don't know if it is my Margaret McAlpin but I am certainly keeping a note of details just in case, her mother was called Margaret McAlpin, never thought of checking for any more McAlpin's in Stockport so if you have the name I would appreciate if you could let me know them.
Again thank you
Jackie
-
Hi Fifer
Thanks for the reply and the answer is yes all the kids were born in Nairn
I also know that Isabella McIntosh born 1830 came to Australia in 1854 and settled here.
I don't know what happened to the rest of the family.
Regards
Troods
-
Re same family as above:
William Youngson married Elizabeth Doig 25/2/1833 in Parish of Dundee
Just realised you said you may have access to 1841 and 1851 Census returns.
Trying to tie down William and Elizabeth Youngson with their children Isobel, David, and John (John would probably only be in 1851 census) Sorry, don't have a district within Dundee.
Anything you may find would be welcome, and very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance :).
-
Really, really sorry to ask for another lookup but having problems tying this one down as my Ann Flinn and her parents don't seem to have been born in Dundee although Ann did marry there (to David Youngson in 1861).
Here goes,
2nd June 1854 an Owen Flinn married a Mary Farril
details of IGI are Batch No.: M112825 Dates: 1820 - 1854 Source Call No.: 0993404 Type: Printout Call No.: Type: Film 6902959
I am trying to trace info on an Ann Flinn daughter of Owen Flinn and Catherine Fitzsimmons and am hopeful that this Owen Flinn marriage may be her brother (or, possibly, a re-marriage of her father) as she herself named one of her own son's Owen Flinn Youngson.
As before, anything you may find would be most welcome, in particular, if Owen's parents are a match for Ann's, then their marriage date/place would be a huge help to me.
I suppose if Ann's parents also lived in Dundee, she may be with them on an 1851 Census, although obviously I don't know exact area.
Huge thanks, in advance, yet again for any help you can give....it really, really is so much appreciated.

I am looking for my 5th gr-grandfather JAMES REID and I am wondering if you might be able to locate a death record or if you have access to the 1851 or 1861 census that may help me locate a death record. I have found his wife’s death record in 1863 in Bridgeton, Glasgow, and she was a widow at the time, but I’ve been unable to locate info on him.
I believe he was born Apr 1777 in Renfrew, Renfrew, Scotland. He married CRAWFORD WARNOCK 26 Dec 1802 in Renfrew, Renfrew, Scotland, daughter of THOMAS WARNOCK and AGNES MCMOULTRY. She was born Abt. Jul 1779 in Greencock, Renfrew, Scotland
Children of JAMES REID and CRAWFORD WARNOCK are:
i. JAMES REID, b. 28 Apr 1803.
ii. THOMAS REID, b. 23 Jan 1805, Renfrew, Scotland.
iii. AGNES REID, b. 21 Jan 1807, Renfrew, Scotland.
iv. MARY REID, b. 20 Feb 1810, Renfrew, Scotland; d. 11 Mar 1892, Glasgow, Scotland; m. JOHN SPENCER, 04 Jun 1830, Parish Church of Eastwood, Renfrew, Scotland
v. MARGARET REID, b. 15 Aug 1813, Renfrew, Scotland.
vi. JOHN REID, b. 21 Oct 1815, Renfrew, Renfrew, Scotland.
vii. JANET REID, b. 16 Jun 1818, Renfrew, Scotland.
viii. WILLIAM REID, b. 09 Nov 1821.
Anything found would be sincerely appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Everyone
Just to let you all know i havent forgotten about any of your requests ive just been laden down with alot of them.i will get back to you all as soon as i find anything.
Fifer :)
-
No problem...your offer was very generous and I am sure no one minds waiting....take your time and don't feel you are being pressured, if you can't manage to do it then don't worry, just say.......you are lucky to have a centre nearby and those of us who don't really do appreciate someone offering look-ups at them but please, not if it hinders your own personal researching.
I for one am more than happy to wait. :)
-
Fifer, I am so sorry as I know you are busy but I just received a death record today that gave me some more leads that i am dying to trace...
I am looking for the birth of a Jessie Kennedy. Her death record in the US says she was born on May 16, 1872 in Glasgow, Scotland. Her parents were WIlliam Kennedy and Annie Jamerson (it is hard to read so name could be Jaimeson). I would like to confirm this.
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOO much.! I have Jessie's portrait on my dining room wall and know next to nothing about this woman. - Kristin
-
Hi Kristen
Its no problem.
You may just have to wait a few weeks for this one as i have about 10 others to lookup and i wont be able to go today as im going down to the mother inlaws tommorow and still havent got anything sorted yet .but as long as your willing to wait i will find out for you.
Spending to much time on here cant get anything else done but i think im not the only one :-\ we are all addicted to this site now.
Angela :)
-
Angela,
No problem. I am patient. I can look at Jessie's picture on my wall as I wait patiently. I waited 4 years to find her death record. I can wait a few more weeks for a confirmation of her birth. Your help is so welcome. I just paid for Scotland's people last night and could not find her definitively. Oh well. Glasgow is just too large of a place.- Thank you again- Kristin
-
Fifer,
When you have the time, I would appreciate a lookup in the 1851 Lanarkshire Census for the following family in Glasgow:
1851 Lanarkshire, Glasgow:
Hughes, James, 29, b. Fettercairn, Kincardineshire
Barbara, 24, b. Fetteresso, “
Amelia, 2, b. Navan, Ireland
James A., infant, b. Glasgow
Thank you very much, Angela, for your generous offer of lookups. I know you are swamped with requests, and will be happy to hear from you whenever you get the opportunity.

Fifer :)
-
Thank you for the information it is nice to get information that you don't already have. I was interested to find out that on her birth cert her mothers name was Jane Bird but the marriage cert is Jane Birrell.
The 1901 census might shed some light on the Meldrum family and give me an approx 10 year span to work on for the death.
Other Meldrum names in the same family were
James born 1859, Mary 1864, Margaret born 1867 and of course the Jane that you looked up born 1861 who married Hector.
Thanks again. :)

Could someone please lookup a Robert Meldrum born 2 Nov 1830 Leuchars? or Collessie, Fife, Scotland looking to find out his parents. I think his mother is Jean Scott

Hi Angela,
I'm one of your Glasgow look-up requesters and would like to thank you for your post. Please do not give another moment's thought to my request. Don't expect you to go searching after that needle, that's for sure!
No apologies necessary!
Cheers,

Hi
Is it possible to have any pre 1881 census for the following:
William NESS born 1848 Wemyss, Fife.
He was the son of Andrew and Isabella/Isobel.
He married in Feb 1871 to Janet Campbell.
Many thanks
-
Hiya twink
Do you know for deffinate that they are in wemyss before 1881 or could they be somewhere else.
Fifer :)
-
Hi Fifer
In 1881 William Ness and wife Janet were in New Kilpatrick, Dunbarton. They married in 1871 In Anderston, Glasgow.
In 1881 Andrew Ness and wife Isabella were in Markinch, Fife. They married in 1844 in Cameron.
I think Andrews parents were Walter Ness and Jean Chalmers who married in 1806 Wemyss. I think Walter died in 1856 in East Wemyss and Jean died in 1867 in West Wemyss.
I've been told that Walters parents are Walter Ness and Catherine Beveridge who married in 1784 Wemyss. From the IGI i found two children called Walter - one born 1786 and one born 1791. The walter that died in 1856 says his age was 78 (1778) and parents Walter Ness and Catherine Chalmers.....
It gets to be a bit of a muddle. This is my friends family tree and I just wanted to try and comfirm abit more for her.
-
Hi twink
I was posting a message back to you at the same time you must have posted the last one lol so im having to write it again.
If you go to the following site he has transcribed all of the wemyss for 1851 i did notice about 20 different ness familys on there im sure your walter was on them coudnt see andrew though but i may have just missed them.
Im also looking for ancestors from weymss name of Hughes and Dryburgh,
here is the website
http://members.aol.com/drewhss/drew.htm
go to fife onsite databes on there and you will see a list of places they have.
hope this helps if not let me know and ill check the lds for you .

I am looking for any information on the death/burial of my great grandmother Mary Ann Dale (born March 1853). She married Elfred William Stevenson in 1885 in Bury, Lancashire, and then supposedly died soon after my grandmother, Ellen Dale Stevenson, was born in October 1887 in Holcombe, Lancashire. I am wondering if she died in Glasgow. since Elfred (who apparently went by William) was remarried in East Greenock, Renfrew in 1892. He then died in Kirkcaldy around 1815. Mary Ann was born in Ramsbottom, Lancashire and we had thought that maybe she died there too, but I can't find any record of it in any database. Can you help me?

Hiya diddyaddy
I will check in the index for you not sure exactly when im going back this week if i can get in tommorow i will check for you then and let you know tommorow night.
Fifer :)

Hello Fifer
Just noticed you were kindly doing look-ups again. I had posted a couple a while back (think they are on page 7). Just wondered if you had ever had chance to check them?
Thanks in advance.
-
Hi Scotsmum
Sorry its taken so long about this i havent been able to get to the LDS alot the last month as been finishing the house.I will going back tommorow i hope if i can get in i only go once a week for the moment so thats why it may take me a while to get back to people.
For everyone else that has asked for a lookup and i havent replyed to you just send me a private email or tell me what page your posting was on and i will get back to you as soon as i can.
Fifer :)
-
Thanks. Anything you can do will be appreciated. I have family in Scotland and England, but they aren't interested in genealogy so I appreciate you taking the time. I was in Kirkcaldy a few years ago and went to the library, but didn't really find anything on any of my lines and wasn't sure what or how to find anything. Next trip over I'll try the LDS centers.
-
Hi Everyone
Just to let you know i couldnt get in today but booked in for thursday so i will check for you then.
Fifer :)
-
Hi All
For diddyaddy and scotsmum
Bad news im afraid i had a hunt for yours diddy but couldnt find anything im afraid.
And Scots Mum dundee is to big im afraid to look through without knowing an area .it would takes ages to look through all the films.
if you get other info that has an address on that would be a help.
I will look again for you.
Fifer :(
-
Thanks for trying. I need to contact one of my aunts and see if she has any thoughts about where and/or when to look. It was her grandmother so hopefully she might remember something. Thanks again.

Hi Fifer,
Would you be so kind as to check for the following for me please
1841 census
Elizabeth (Betsy) Paterson b 1821 Carnock, Fife
Parents George Paterson & Ann Henderson
Much appreciated.
My nearest LDS centre is Alloa, and is closed Temp. Don't know how long for. Do you know how much information they have in there?
Regards
Amanda
-
Hiya
Do you know if they are deffinatly in carnock in 1841.
If its Alloa you are asking about i havent a clue im afraid .
Fifer :)
-
Hi Fifer,
Elizabeth (Betsy) was born Carnock 1821 and also married there 1842 so i assume she was there the year before she married.
Really appreciate your help.
I am a bit disappointed my LDS centre is closed at the moment and can't find out when it is reopening (if at all)
Regards
Amanda

Hello,
If it's not too much trouble, I wonder if you could look up the Scottish BDM Index 1855-1955 for the marriage of William Gray to Sarah McClutchy and any children born to them before 1881.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi Fifer
Would you mind looking up a few OPR christenings for Dunfermline, Fife, please?
They are some of the children of Peter BAIN and Mary HEARNE.
Margaret BAIN, b 19 Feb 1815, c 26 Feb 1815.
Nathanail BAIN, b 27 Jul 1817, c 17 Aug 1817.
Mary BAIN, b 20 Nov 1819, c 26 Dec 1819.
I'm interested in whether they give an occupation for Peter, as he was described as a soldier on his son's (Jeremiah) christening record in 1810.
Cheers

Hi Fifer,
If you have the time could you possibly look at this query (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,50165.0.html) for me on the 1841 Census. It's most likely to be in the Calton area of Barony. If you have even more time than that could you possibly check the same family in the 1851 census.
Thanks

Hi Alistair,Robert
I will check for you both on tuesday and let you know if i find anything.
Reenie Glad to here you found your people.

Hi there Fifer,
Is It possible for you to do a 1851 Census lookup for me?
I'm searching for a James Hendry, DOB according to 1871 census 1825 in Ireland, whereabouts, not noted, so can't trace his Birth Cert for sure.
I Know he was in the Old Monkland, Coatbridge area in 1858, as I have his sons Birth Cert for then, on another sons Birth Cert it gives his Marriage to Susan Clark nee Pollock as 1852, Girvan or St Quivox, Ayr (the text is blurred), and on a Daughter's Birth Cert, it states her, as being Born in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire.
So Fifer... if you could do a lookup for me in the Girvan, St Quivox, Kilmarnock areas of Ayrshire, I'd be very grateful.
Thx
Jim.Hendry. :)
-
Hi Jim
I will have a look as soon as i can it may take a few weeks for this one if i have to search diferent areas but will let you know as soon as i find something for you.
Angela :)

Angela,
Thx for your prompt reply, and thx for taking the time to help me out, I'll look forward to hearing from you.

Hello;
If you have the time, I would be very grateful if you could find a marriage for George Brunston Robertson. He was born in Cupar Fife. The marriage would be in the late 1850`s early 1860`s.
Georges father Robert Robertson is listed as a jeweller [Cupar] Would there be any record of Him [1820`s onward] Thank you. Pam ;D ;D

:o 20 books. Thanks for having a look anyway. I didn't realise how deep it would be buried- I'll give that a body swerve too then. I appreciate the offer to look next week at the 1851 census but please only do this if you have some spare time and give other look ups the priority. I'm far from 100% sure they will be there and may have emigrated by that time so it would be a shame to waste your resources looking for something that probably isn't there.
Thanks again.

Hi Jim
I had a look for you but the Girven Film was a really bad copy and if they were there they must have been in the bad parts its was unreadable in places didnt have time to search the st quivox yet i will check that next week for you.
Angela :(

Hi fifer thank you
My older sister told me today that she found our granny [Jeanie Watson ] dead in about 1957 in Glasgow I don t know if this Information will help she also said she could have been buried under the name Rossini even if they never married I hope this helps
Thanks again Izzy

IF you're still doing lookups, could you check the 1851 census for Elizabeth Simpson in Edinburgh?
Birthplace South Ronaldsay, Orkney.
age from 20 to 28
(I have different birthyears for her - 1823 & 1828, and a christening in 1837)
She has to be in Edinburgh because she had a baby born in Edinburgh in 1852, although she didnt get married until 1856.
The only clue I have to the possible location is where they were in 1856
Castle and Portsburgh Edinburgh
Family Lived 5 Milner Court Edinburgh
Oh and Elizabeth hopefully is residing with a man named Thomas Fairbairn or possibly Freebairn whom she later married. If not, I'd like to know who she is living with.
I hope this enough info.
Thanks

Hi there Fifer,
Good of you to offer lookups, Thanks for your last search I had forgotten I'd asked you for one, I'm still looking for the same guy, and according to his Death Cert he had another wife before Susan Hendrie.
I'd like you to have a look for a Marriage of this guy in Ireland... when you have the time, next week is OK with me, although I don't have a place or a fixed time zone, just a guesstimate, the people I'm looking for are:
James Houden or Hendrie or Henry (age 24 at 1845)
Agnes Green
Approx Marriage date 1845 or thereabouts (son Thomas Houden or Hendrie born then)
Thx in advance
regards
Jim.Hendry.

Hi Jim
I checked the Irish marriage index from 1845-onwards and couldnt find them im afraid they only start at 1845 so if it was the year before it wouldnt be there.

Hi again Angela,
thankyou very much for your taking the time to help me out, next week is fine.
I've had some new info recently and now think that they were (supposedly) married in St Quivox around 1852, Wallacetown, or Newtown on Ayr.
It may be that they were Roman Catholic and there may have been a R.C Church in Wallacetown, so they may not appear on the LDS records, but some do, I have written to the R.C Records place in Glasgow so I may get some joy there.
Thanks again and I look forward to hearing from you.
Jim.

Hi Angela {fifer} thanks for having another look for Jeanie Watson I don t think the one you found is her she was seventy when she died in 1957 and Ithink she was buried at the cemetery near celtic s home ground she married someone in about 1914-15 Ithink in Aberdeen after she had illigitimate son then she went back to glasgow her parents remained in Aberdeen until her mothers death
Iam really grateful for the time you ve took to look thankyou Izzy

Hi Anglea,
If you get the chance could you please look up two OPR marriage records for me. I've got the references, don't know if that will help, but want to see what info is there before purchasing the actual documents. I also want to make sure in some cases it is the ones I am looking for.

There was one other thing which I'm not sure if you would have access to and that is a statutory birth. I have tried in vain online to locate a birth I know exists but without any luck. The person was born in either 1899 or 1900 in Lanarkshire. I know the mother's name, pretty sure I know the dad's name and as she moved to the US I think I have the actual birthdate from a Social Security Number. If this is not possible then no worries.
FATHER- William Marr (or illegitimate)
MOTHER- Isabella Black (she claimed to married to William but can't confirm that)
CHILD- Isabella Marr (or Isabella Black if illegitimate, possibly could have been christened just Ella)

Fifer hi again,
I am still stumped in trying to find James Hendrie, I now believe he was born somewhere in Ireland in 1821, this Info comes from 1861 Cen in Old Monklands, Lanarkshire, (born Ireland, this under the name Houden on this Census...why Houden..don't know) his age is given as 40 on this Census, and on his Death Cert in 1874, his age is 53, which agree's with 1861 Cen.
Death Cert or any of the other various Cert's I have do not record his Parents or Birthplace, only Ireland.
His son Thomas aged 16 is also born Ireland, (on 1861 Cen) and Agnes Green was his James's first wife, James must have been Married to her in Ireland, but he has another son James junior born in c1852, (to Susan Hendrie? I think) at Ayr, Ayrshire, or KILMARNOCK, and I know he was in Dickie's Land, George St, WALLACETOWN, ST QUIVOX, in 1856 as he has a daughter born there and then.
Then again on another sons Birth Cert for 1861 he gives a marriage date of 1852, ST QUIVOX.
So if you're not confused with all this, could help me again, and look at the 1851 Census for the above areas, and there's a possibility of their being in NEWTON ON AYR around that time too.
had reply from the Catholic Record Dept, of Columba House, Glasgow, and they are not doing any private seaches anymore, I have to go to Reg House in Edinburgh, thats if you cant help me with a sighting in LDS
I'd be very obliged if you could find time to look for me again.
Kind Regards
Jim.

Hi
I wonder if you may be able to help me. After a very long search, I have finally traced my family back to Fife. I'm looking for Thomas & Helen Paterson. Helen was born in 1804 and I'm trying to find out where and when Thomas was born but I've exhausted all my sources and wondered whether the Fife census would help.
Most of their children were born in St Monance or Kilconquhar, the last being in 1848.
Are you able to check either the 1841 or 1851 census for me to see whether it can provide me with any further information
Any help is very much appreciated
-
Hi Angela,
This is such a kind offer! I would really appreciate an 1841 lookup on
Thomas Meldrum and and his wife Elizabeth (Pirie), they would both be in their 70's, if still alive and probably in Newburgh, Fife.
And if it's not pushing it ...
A Charlotte Wright and family, born c 1835 in Falkirk with parents either Robert and Elizabeth Wright or James and Elizabeth Wright on the Falkirk 1841 census.
If it's not enough info, particularly for the Meldrums, please don't spend too much time.
Many thanks,
Lindsay

Hi
I wonder if you may be able to help me. After a very long search, I have finally traced my family back to Fife. I'm looking for Thomas & Helen Paterson. Helen was born in 1804 and I'm trying to find out where and when Thomas was born but I've exhausted all my sources and wondered whether the Fife census would help.
Most of their children were born in St Monance or Kilconquhar, the last being in 1848.
Are you able to check either the 1841 or 1851 census for me to see whether it can provide me with any further information
Any help is very much appreciated
Hi
I came accross the following for you hope its the right one as you didnt give me any names of kids i wasnt sure.
St Monance 1841 Film 447-455
Burnside
Thomas Paterson 45 Wright yes
Robert Paterson 15 yes
Thomas paterson 9 or 7 yes
John paterson 2 Yes
helen Paterson 35 No
Helen Paterson 7 yes
Jean paterson 4 yes
Couldnt find them on the 1851
will have a look again next week for 1851
Angela :)

Jane or Jean (1836)
John (1838)
George (1841)

Fifer hi again,
I am still stumped in trying to find James Hendrie, I now believe he was born in Ireland in 1821, this Info comes from 1861 Cen in Old Monklands, Lanarkshire, (this under the name Houden..why..don't know) his age is given as 40, and also his Dth Cert in 1874, giving his age as 53, which agree's with Cen, Dth Cert or any of the various Cert's I have do not record his Parents or Birthplace, only Ireland.
His son Thomas aged 16 is also born Ireland, (1861 Cen) and I have to assume Agnes Green was his Mother, James must have been Married to her in Ireland, but he has another son James junior born in 1852, (to Susan Hendrie? I think) at Ayr, Ayrshire, and I know he was in Dickie's Land, George St, WALLACETOWN, ST QUIVOX, in 1856 as he has a daughter born there and then.
So if you're not confused with all this, could help me again, and look at the 1851 Cen for the above areas, and there's a possibility of their being in NEWTON ON AYR around that time too.
I'm still waiting for a reply from the Catholic Record Dept, of Columba House, Glasgow, but I'm not counting on getting any new Info from them.
I'd be very obliged if you could find time to look for me again.
Kind Regards
Jim.

Angela,
I sent you a personal message, but I'm not sure if it went, so I'll add a quote.
Thx for the sighting but, as you say the two you found don't look right, so could I impose on your good nature to look again in the 1851 Cen, for:
James Houden and Susan Clark nee pollock same details as before, it's possible he was married to a Agnes Green at that time too, I'm not sure, the name Houden is what they appear as in the 1861 Cen for some reason.
Could you also look 1851 Cen for a son Thomas Houden or Hendrie born Ireland, he would be aged around 5 at that time and a second son James Houden/Hendrie/Hendry born Ayr, ayrshire 1851 and would be a few months old then.
This is the last I'll ask of you as you've did enough for me already.
Kind Regards
Jim.

Angela,
Wondering if you are still heading to the local LDS center. You have helped me immensely before and wondered if I could impose on you good nature again.
I have the index inforation for the Glasgow census and wondered if you could get the information on the household.
1861 Census, Hutchesontown, Glasgow, Lanarkshire
644/10
ED 5, page 4
John Andrew, age 48, born Paisley
Ann G. Andrew, age 15, born Paisley
I am not sure if there were others in the household.
Thank you!!- Kristin

Hi Fifer;
Would you be able to do a couple of lookups for me please? I am searching for the death of Robert Robertson in Cupar Fife. He was born about 1794. He was a jeweller and his wife was Isabella. His father was also Robert and his mother was Clementina. I was also hoping that he might be on any censuses of Cupar.[1841 onwards] Would you also be able to tell me of any children born to George Robertson and wife Margaret [Morris] They had one son Robert born 1880. I hope I am not asking too much, but would be very grateful for your help. Regards Pam :D
-

-
Hello Fifer,
If possible could you do a lookup for me please.
It's the birth of John Hendren, born about 1894/5.
His father was William Hendren, mother Agnes I don't know her maiden name.
He was born in Ayr, possibly Annbank or Tarbolton.
Hope you can help
from Maureen.

I am looking for Harriette Muirhead who married William Russell around 1910,

Hi Pam sorry its taken me a while to get back to you ive only just got back to the lds today.
I checked the 1851 census for Robert but couldnt find him im afraid.
And there isnt a 1841 for cupar it went down in the forth with alot of other 1841 records the only way i will be able to get a death for him is through the old parish records but that may take a while as they can be very hard to read so you may have to be patient with me while i look.

Hi Fifer;
Thanks for 1891 census. A great help as it gives me children to George. Cheers Pam ;D

Hi Pam let me know if you would like the 1901
I will have to check that at library for you though but its not a problem as im hoping to go there in the next few days.
Angela :)
-
Dear Angela,Thank you so much for looking for me,the only thing I can think of is that they might have got married in Montreal,or possibly before 1905,as William John Russell was in the Highland Regiment,they could have been married anywhere in Scotland,but family legend has it that they met in Edingborough,Thank you anyway for all your help.
Bethan
-
Angela,
Could you have another look for my problem family, see here page 12.
Kind regards
Jim.

Hi Angela;

-
Hello Angela
Thanks for the information.
If possable could you look up a marriage for me please.

Many thanks

Hi Angela. I think I have just found Robert Robertson still alive in 1861 as he is listed at 35 Bonnygate as a jeweller and inspector of weights and measures. He would be about 68 years old at this stage. His son Robert [jeweller]was already here in Australia by this stage. Pam

Angela :)
-
Hi Angela
No, I don`t have a death certificate. Sorry. Cheers Pam
-
:-[ Hi Angela, sory to bother you again. Would it be possible to see if Robert Robertson born around 1756 is mentioned in old parish records if you get time? He was a tinsmith and married to Clementina Stewart. Don`t worry if you are too busy. Cheers Pam.
-
Hi Pam
No Problem I will have a look for you .

It can be quite disconcerting to all involved to find that the same matter is being pursued on different threads - and that lookups are being done more than once, and without all information which is to hand having been made available.
For completeness and to optimize our efforts, the Robert ROBERTSON family is also being pursued on:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,90242.0.html
Also, much of the information on this thread (post-1855 BDM certificates, and 1871 and later censuses) can be found on the pay-per-view site (rates are reasonable) ScotlandsPeople at:
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

THank you Angela; Your help is very much appreciated.
Cheers Pam

Angela,
Curious if you were still popping into the LDS. I have a death record I need some assistance finding.
Janet Andrew(s) died between the 1851-1861 census. Her mainden name is Clelland. Daughter of James Clelland and Ann Gardener born in 1823 in High Church, Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland.
In 1851- Husband John Andrews, age 38 , Janet, age 28 and daughter Ann, age 6 lived in Paisley, Renfrewshire.
In 1861, Huband John Andrews, age 48, occupation Patrolman and Daughter Ann G. Andrew, age 15, lived at 63 Commercial Road, Glasgow, Lanarkshire. In 1863, they lived at the same address and John worked as an engine keeper (info from Ann's marriage record).
Janet must have died between the two censuses.
Thank you so much.- Kristin
-
Hi Angela,
Have you had any luck with my post, (see Page 12), I'm still looking for these people.
Kind Regards
Jim.

Hi Angela,
Me again....I know I have asked you for another lookup, and I feel that I'm being a nuisance, but I wondered if maybe you could kindly help me with another search.
I see you say at the start of your offer to help, that you have only a limited search area in the Fife LDS, but I would like to ask you if the records cover parts of England, i.e Herefordshire, and if they do, could you look up a Marriage for these two people for me? I'd be ever so grateful, here goes:
MARRIED 1ST APRIL 1939, IN BRAMPTON BRYAN, HEREFORDSHIRE.
THOMAS CORBETT DAVIES DOB 1798, BYTON, HEREFORD, (OR KNIGHTON RADNOR) OCC: CORDWAINER, (SHOEMAKER)
(Father's name on LDS record Thomas Corbett, no Davies.)
and:
ANN PRICE DOB 1809 BRAMPTON BRYAN, HEREFORDSHIRE.
(Father's name on LDS record Thomas Price)
I obtained this Info from the online LDS org site, and the Batch No, Source Call and Film number's are as follows:
M139731 1638 0992236 Film.
M139731 1665-1849 0992236 Film.
I need to know their definate POBs and ages at the time of Marriage to go back further, If they don't have the records, its OK, again, many thanks.
Kind Regards
Jim Hendry.

Hi Henry

Hi Angela,
This is more a general question. When you go to the LDS Centre do you have access to the "Scottish Church Records" CD. This index is apparently more complete than the IGI and searchable. I was just wondering if it would be possible to check a couple of lookups if you can use the CD. I mailed the LDS last month about the possibility of puchasing it but they let me know it is not for sale but that every Scottish LDS centre has one.
Thanks
Robert
-
Hi Robert
Yes its available for lookup at the lds let me know details of what you want looked up it maybe a few weeks before i go back again but will check it out for you when i go.it seems to have more records it isnt something i have looked at very often though.
Angela :)

That was quick. :o
Cheers, that would be great. The chances are slim but it's my last hope. If the births are not on there then I think they must not have been registered. If you need more info let me know. The people below were all the children of Hugh Marr and Mary Drummond, the ones in green I already have off the IGI:
Hugh Marr, born 8/2/1824 in Barony, Lanark.
Margaret Marr, born abt 1826 in Barony Lanark
Robert Marr, born 19/1/1828 in Barony, Lanark.
Janet Marr, born 16/1/1830 in Barony, Lanark.
Thomas Marr, born abt 1837 in Barony Lanark
Richard (Bradbrook) Marr, born abt 1840 in Barony Lanark
Helen (Bradbrook) Marr, born abt 1840 in Barony Lanark
Janet Marr, born abt 1843 in Barony Lanark (the earlier Janet died)
Any help would be appreciated. Enjoy the new year. :)
Cheers
Robert

Hi Robert
i checked the scottish parish church records cd for you but there was more info on the IGI instead of the cd im afraid.But there was one diffence on there Robert was Listed as the son of John Marr and Mary Drummond instead of Hugh Marr.None of the other kids were on there im afraid.
Angela

For all other Lookups will check out next tuesday for you when i go.

Hi Angela,
Thanks for looking. I didn't hold out much hope but more importantly it puts my mind at rest. There is nothing worse that a nag at the back of your mind that something might actually be there.
I've actually got the entry for Robert as he is a direct descendant- my gx3 grandfather. As you pointed out it is indexed wrongly saying his father is John. The actually records clearly says Hugh so I'm not sure how that happened.
Again, thanks for your time.
Robert

wondering if you could do a search for a Jean Scott married name Meldrum.
she is in the 1881 as being 74 years of age under name of Jean Scott.
Also looking for a Robert Meldrum born in Collessie 1828. All i can find is one born in Leuchars but i don't think it is a match as those parents died really early and i know mine was still around in 1881.
Info i have Robert born Collessie 1828 Mother Jean Scott and James Meldrum. (on his death certificate) father was a coachman domestic servant
Margaret Meldrum grandmother widow aged 74 born Pittenweem was with Robert Meldrum in the 1851 census but cannot find mother.
Any help would be great. I did find another family but the dates don't add up
-
Hello Fify, I am very new to this but would love to find out more of my Scottish ancestors. My great grandfather Colin THOM was born (I think) in Fife, certainly Perthshire in 1832. His father was William & mother Mary nee Lockhart. Do not know if he had siblings. He came to New Zealand we think in the 1860s but we can not find out how he came. No boat records that we can find. What we really want to know is more about his parents William & Mary. Can you please help?
-
Hi, I'm wondering if you can help with this please
I have this from SP but there seems to be no image with it.
I'd like to know who else is listed and whether I have the right Christian Burt born Falkirk.
1 1851 BURT CHRISTIAN F 23 DUNFERMLINE /FIFE 424/00 003/00 004 No Image ORDER
There may be some connection here between an Andrew Burt and Ann Toshack married in Dunfermline...haven't quite worked it out yet
Thank you, Sylvia

Hi
To Everyone wanted a lookup i will see what i can do havent been able to go the last 2 weeks hoping to go back next week if i can get booked in.Sorry to those of you you asked reciently will get to yours first when i go.

Let me know if you would like me to check that for you.
Fifer :)

Hello Angela
Could you please look up this Irish marriage? Samuel Rainey + Mary Brown m. July 22, 1845 Dromarrouh (Dromara) Co. Down. I suspect it might be a Catholic marriage as their daughter married in Catholic Church in Scotland. Info is from a son's birth certificate. Would love to know the Church.

Hi Angela,
My children's paternal relative, John PHILP, tenant farmer of Bankhead Dalgety Fife, was arrested for forgery and uttering in December 1847 and imprisoned in Dunfermline. At the Perth Sessions in April 1848, John was convicted and sentenced to 7 years transportation.
There was an unsuccessful petition to the Home Secretary in December 1848 - signed by almost all the worthies and gentry of West Fife (about 150 persons including the local landowner, the local judge, the local minister, etc, etc but notably with the exception of his paternal uncle - his late father's brother - John PHILP of Kelty, Beath about whom I have my own suspicions) - and a further (successful) petition by 'convict' John's wife (Margaret MUIR of Barone Park, Rothesay, Bute) after which 'convict' John was pardoned in April 1850 just before he was to be shipped off from the hulks in Portsmouth to Tasmania.
Subsequently, 'convict' John and his family sailed free to Melbourne, Victoria where John became a successful businessman (!).
I have much information from the NAS (copies of the precognition etc etc - far from cheap).
But I feel sure that the whole business must have been quite a scandal at the time and would be most grateful if anything could be found in the local newspapers.

Hello there,
wondered if you could help with where I am stuck. Trying to identify great grandmother and rest of my ancestry from there. Jane Kirkpatrick, mother to my Grandad, John "Jack" Kirkpatrick. John was born 6 April 1912, Eastern District, Hospital Glasgow, Dennistown District.
Trying to identify his mother and so on....
Tried Scotsland people, with no luck yet.
My big problem is that I lost John's birth cert, I am going off of my notes.
Found an old post, here is a little more...
Looking for a lookup. Jane Kirpatrick, domestic Servant, gave birth to my grandad, John Kirkpatrick April 6, 1912. Jane gave address of Domicil, 18 Anderson Street, Springburn, Glasgow. Dennistown District. Sorry do not know her age.

Hi,
If you are still able to do look ups could you please look for the following people in the 1841 and 1851 census.
James Mitchel and Mary Mitchel (Hossack) from Penecuik.
They had children Elizabeth born 1813, Mary Show born 1815, Joan born 1817, Lydia born 1819 Jamima born 1822, Thomas born 1823 and Robina born 1826.
My line descends through Robina Mitchel who married Patrick Murphy in 1841 Glasgow Scotland. Could you check for their marriage?
I would be grateful for any help,
Regards,

Hi Angela,
Just noticed you have access to Irish Marriages, could you do a lookup for me please? I'm looking for a Marriage in 1845 or thereabouts between these two persons:
JAMES HENRY/HENDRIE/ HENDRY, BORN C1821-3.
AND
AGNES GREEN, DOB UNKNOWN.
I haven't a clue as to POBs, only a reference in a 1874 Death Record of James Hendrie with Agnes Green as his first wife, James is recorded as a "Widower" in an 1851 Census here in Ayrshire, Scotland, with a son Thomas born 1845, so I'm hoping there may be a Marr/Cert for this year.
Thank you in advance for taking the trouble to help me,
Slainte!
Jim.

Hi Fifer, I noted in your kind offer to do lookups that you have Irish Marriages, and was wondering if you have any marriages for the County Tyrone area. If so, and your offer is still open could you have a look to see if you have a marriage for Patrick Grimley to Teresa Fernan/Fearon/Farren on 6th Feb 1883 in Donaghmore, Co.Tyrone.
Many thanks

Hi Everyone
I am very new to this so am not sure that I am posting correctly. I would like to make contact with Jo3 regarding the post below regarding John Pitblade. The post is dated 2004 - any suggestions how I might have some success in following up?
Kind regards
Laufi
Hi
Thank you for your look-up offer. I know it takes a lot of time, as I do a little myself but I find it very rewarding. have had a problem for some time now as my ancestor appears to have been born in Fifeshire about 1729 according to his obituary in the local paper. His name was John Pitblade or Pitbladdy or Pladdy (Pronunciation has produced many variations and he was a gardener at Millom Castle - his first child in Cumberland was down as Andrew Peart Bloddy!) This child was baptised 27 December 1861 in Millom, to John and Jane, but Jane was also known as Jenny Pladdy - again quoted from her obituary, though her age wasn't given. The nearest to age in the IGI baptisms for a John Pitblade is 1725 and I know that some are not on the IGI and that the ages do not always tally. If you have time could you check any BT's for this. Thank you
Jo3
