Midlothian / Re: HAY Robert, Rosebank Pottery, Portobello
« on: Saturday 26 February 11 14:49 GMT (UK) »For all on this list seeking information on HILLCOATS, beginning With THOMAS HILLCOAT 1645-1704, m ANN FENWICK in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, I have a 59-page list of names of Hillcoats from that date until more recent times. They are all over the globe, now, Australia, etc., as you can imagine.
My Hillcoat connection died out, if you will, when Jeanie Hillcoat (artist in a pottery) whose family had moved to Renfrewshire, married Alexander John Spence, journeyman potter, Glasgow, Lanarkshire.
If you would like basic BDMs on any Hillcoat name, please let me know. e-mail address: (*)

Thank you Maisie. If you have the marriage certificate for Elizabeth Hillcoat ( married Robert Hay, 5 October 1792) that would be great. I have found a old parish record but it doesn't give the father's name for Robert. So frustrating!
Again, thank you for your kind offer.

Thank you for replying. Unfortunately I had read the book mentioned and Robert 'Flay' was indeed Robert Hay. It is interesting that you used to walk by there - you may well have seen my father as a wee lad playing in the grounds.
Robert has become an enigma! My father tried for years before his death at 93 and I have since taken up the mantle with no luck so far!
Thank you once again.

I have hit a dead end trying to find the parents of Robert Hay. Born circa 1760. Married Elizabeth Hillcoat (Hillcote) 5 Oct 1792. Deceased 7 June 1833. My father was Thomas Reid Hay who lived at Rosebank until it was closed in 1929 or thereabouts.
Grateful if anyone has any information on Robert Hay.
