Hello again!

Further investigation of baptism records suggests that Scott and Ann Lindsay were Master and Matron of the Magherafelt Workhouse between 1848 and 1871.

I would like to get hold of the Magherafelt Workhouse minutes (BG/23/A) which is held at PRONI.
Can anyone suggest the best way to get hold of the minutes from that period please?

Thanks

Andrew

Olphert - wow! And Ken!
Adam was my GGGDad and Ken found he died of Cholera just before Hugh Scott was born.
Annie died on HMS Serapis homeward bound with the kids, but you probably already know that!!!

Please drop me a line  :)

Hello

I am also looking for Scott and Ann Lindsay.

I have also found Scott in Glasgow in the 1881 Scotland Census as a pensioner from the RIC. Is it possible to get further info from RIC records and if so how?

I want to find out Scott's birthplace (& his parents names), his wife's surname & when/where they married (around 1840 i'm guessing) & anything else about their life in Ireland - not alot then!! (Sound familiar?? :))

Any advice welcome as searching in Ireland is not easy and when we have the Lindsay side sorted we have to start searching for O'Briens!!!!!!

Thanks

Andrew

Morning Ken

I'd just like to thank you for your prompt results on your searching on my behalf.
I am absolutely delighted with your findings and I would heartily recommend your talents to anyone else who can't make it down to Kew.

Things are certainly a bit clearer now in my researching.

Many thanks again.

Andrew.

Hi Ken
From census records and dates of birth I suspect that Thomas Lindsay 1041 was the elder brother of Sgt Adam Lindsay 1141 (GGGF) who was the father of 2688 Thomas Lindsay (I have birth certificate, my GGF).
1871 census records show both 1141 Adam Lindsay and 1041 Thomas Lindsay as being Irish born.

I presume that you have discovered their army numbers from muster rolls?

Thats great that they served with your GGF. You must be well aware of their service details judging by your expertise?

I look forward to your PM.

Thanks again

Andrew

Hi Ken
I've posted the reverse of the medal set that shows the red material.
Is that a bit of home repair work?

I've tried to reply to you regards your muster rolls message but not sure if you have got them?

Regards

Andrew

Hello Ken
That is great work thank you.
Just to confirm I have attached image of the medals (you might like to see).

I would really like to find out more about his service and that of his father, Adam Lindsay, who was part of that 1st bn at Fort Rowner in 1871.

Thanks again.

Andrew

Brilliant thread and really interesting.
I am trying to trace two family members in the 25th regiment of foot/Kings Own Scottish Borderers.
I have birth certificate of GGGdad Thomas Adam Hilliard Lindsay from 1869 with father's occupation listed as 'lance corporal 25 regiment of the line'.GGGdad is Adam Lindsay b 1844 in Ireland (according to census).
I have a census trace of the family in 1871 at Fort Rowner with the 25 Regiment.

Searches on Findmypast military are turning up nothing for either of them. We are in possession of medals for Cpl T Lindsay No 2688 KOSB.
I am new to this so the question I would ask is.... do I need to use the searches better or I am better of visiting Kew at some stage?
Are muster rolls the wayforward? I have a hunch that Adam Lindsay died on service in India and his wife returned home with two children.
