I appreciate everything everyone has added here. Many thanks. Please do not feel you have to research on my behalf. I am really just appealing to anyone who might already have researched these names for their own purposes. The dates in question are as identified by ciderdrinker. I don't have any other documentation. I realise that I probably won't get much further going down that particular line anyhow as it moves into the more modern period, not beyond 1911 anyhow. Thanks again.

Lizdb, ciderdrinker has found some of the info I already have plus a little more. I was wondering about the children of the children. What Is the best free source of BDM info in England, or even pay per view - do you know? Sorry I forgot to add the date.

Trying to find out more about the family of Alexander Greig and Isabella Burness of Gateshead. Alexander was born in Chapel of Garioch, Aberdeenshire. Isabella was also from the same area. Their children were John, Isabella, Alexander, Elisabeth and George.

FamilySearcher2, my mother confirmed your story about Agnes Henderson Hunter giving the shop away as she did not want her sons involved in alcohol, but she had no more information. My mother had only heard this story from her cousin about ten years ago.
Through a "My Heritage" website I have found that someone else (a George McAusland) has already developed a family tree that includes references to James Sim Carlile and John McAusland Carlile. I am working on a small tree of the Carlile family from my perspective and I will publish this on My Heritage shortly.
As a matter of interest, at 0:44 here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_kiPbOWSfI&feature=related, there is a photo of Old Smithills, around 1886 and at 0:58 as well.
In terms of tracking down more info on William and Catherine, it is on my "to do" list to visit the graveyard in Houston.

Hello Fiona T,
From the information I have, William Carlile (began as a Silk Merchant and became a Master Bleacher) and Catherine Knox had a son, Thomas, who married Ann Sim. Thomas was a Spirit Merchant. From what I can see, they had at least three sons: Thomas, William and James. One son, Thomas Carlile, married Agnes Henderson and they had seven children. Their son, Robert, was my grandfather, my mother's father. I am aware of a Helen Polson McAusland marrying Thomas's brother, James.
I have been trying to connect my Carlile line with the well documented Paisley Carliles, but I can't get past William and Catherine. I thinks there may be clues in Houston.
Rosemarie L. is my mother's cousin's daughter and we have been briefly in contact. Clearly you and I are related too!

Hello Fiona,
William Carlile, married to Catherine Knox, was my great, great, great grandfather. I think I have tracked an down electronic copy of his death certificate (1846 in Houston). I have documentary evidence showing the birth of his son, Thomas who married Anne Sim, which is the route to my side of the family. I have not discovered anything about Catherine Knox. I have been trying to establish the link with the main Paisley Carlile family without success so far.
Mr G.
