Lanarkshire / Re: Help with High Church GlasgowCOMPLETED.

Well, thank you for your reply.   The marriage certificate for my forebears indicates that the marriage was conducted according to the forms of the Church of Scotland.  This was in 1873.  I suppose I'll have to research to find out when the "Wee Free" and the United Presbyterians did or did not join forces with the C of S.  If memory serves me correctly, I think the United Free denomination is still autonomous.

I made an error in location, the two churches were off Whitehill Street and Armadale St.
which was a continuation of Whitevale St.,,  Yet another church was on Whitevale St. "in front" of Bathgate St,  Three churches, then, at Roslea/Whitehill;  Roslea and Armadale, and another church at Whitevale (in front of) Bathgate St.

In looking at this map page I count at least 10 churches in the grid covering Dennistoun, Bridgeton and Camlachie.  I wonder how many are still viable.

Again, thank you for your reply.

Thank you to Lodger for the explanation re HIGH CHURCH.  I had a notation that my father's mother was married in HIGH CHURCH, when in fact it was in the C of S at 35 Roslea Dr., Dennistoun.  There are two churches (or were, for who knows now what has happened to those areas!) on Roslea, one at the corner of Whitevale St., and the other at Whitehill St. (a little head game by somebody to confuse everyone!). 

This explanation about what constitutes the HIGH CHURCH has been very helpful as I was hunting all over the globe for it on Roslea Dr.  I still don't know the name of the church, however, except that it was Church of Scotland.

Any suggestions?

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: (*)
