Midlothian / Re: Compted with thanks Mary Currie- marriage
« on: Sunday 02 October 16 21:41 BST (UK)  »
Dear Joan, I Thought I was helping, however,I would like to let you know that my  family have proof. I worked along side William Wallace the author for many years and he knew and wrote books about Harry Lauder. Its my family who tend Harry Lauder's grave. I don't really know what you thought I was looking for when I answered, I wish I hadn't now. When you post on a site like this you have to be prepared to consider all options that people put your way. You are obviously unable to accept that Harry Lauder started out as an ordinary man and you see him only as a great man. You have offended me greatly, please do not reply as I have no further interest in you. Regards Christine.

Hi there, I am Sir Harry Lauder's Great Granddaughter Christine. I am sure some of the Currie or the McLennan family have a headstone right next to Sir Harry's. headstone, If you want I can have a look again, I can't quite remember the names as I am getting on a bit now. Looks as if the info you have been given is quite accurate so far. If you want to know more about our family relationship with the Lauders, you could go to Answers.com and type in Did Sir Harry Lauder have two sons. From there you will see a wee story about our family. Kind regards from Christine.

United States of America / Re: Adam Murray Reid
« on: Friday 29 May 15 22:43 BST (UK)  »
Thank you Crisane, SL Stephens and Shellyesq, I did think that Adam Murray Reid had went to Canada however I found recently from the records at Islip that he arrived in New York in 1890. (I am still looking for the relative that emigrated to Canada but havn't got enough information to start with now)The 1940 census did show Susie F Dutcher as a widow and living with her was a partner called Patrick Moore born 1901 in Northern Ireland. I will follow up everyone's suggestions, so thank you all so much for that. We had thought we had found the link to Canada but it must have been Adam Murray Reid's brother or even a cousin that had went to Canada. I can't thank everyone enough for being so kind. Kind regards from Dobelove.

United States of America / Adam Murray Reid
« on: Thursday 28 May 15 22:48 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find out if Adam Murray Reid returned to Scotland from the USA sometime after the 1930 census in the USA. He was listed as Arthur M Reed in the 1930 census as it has been misread. He also used Adam Reid at times and missed out the middle name Murray. He was born 6th Oct. 1862 in Cardross Scotland however he tended to make himself a bit younger on some of the census documents. He went to the USA in 1890, he was a passenger on the Columbia arriving in New York on 13th June 1890. Departure port Southampton. He married Susie F Dutcher in Manhattan 6th Sept 1908. He became a USA citizen in 1894. The 1930 census has got him down as Arthur M Reed, obviously an error. He and his wife lived at Richland Boulevard Islip Suffolk New York. He was a gardener. The records office in Islip Suffolk can find no record of his death, however, they did find an Adam Reid who died in 1932 and is buried in Larkhall cemetery Scotland.

Australia / Re: looking for Daniel Park on a ships list going to Australia from Scotland 1901

Hi Kathy, Thank you once again for the information, you have been very kind to do the research for me, I will try and piece the info to gether to see if I can figure out what is the most likely story. It would help if I could narrow it down a bit, but I only know that after the 1901 census he was not in Scotland and according to my gran he went to Perth Australia, he must have been writing to his family in Scotland as my gran could tell us that Daniel eventually went blind, however, you know how stories can get mixed up, so I'm not sure how accurate my info is, anyway, thank you so much for your help, it is very much appreciated. Kind regards from Dobelove. (Christine)

Australia / Re: looking for Daniel Park on a ships list going to Australia from Scotland 1901

Hi Kathy, thank you so much for the information on Daniel Park, he has been a bit of a mystery as Ros managed to find Daniels brother Thomas Park arriving in Sydney 1907 but no info on Daniel arriving with him however now that you have given me your info, I wonder if Daniel had travelled the year before Thomas in 1906 and stopped off at Cape Town for a time and then travelled to Sydney as I noticed from the ships list that someone sent me regarding Margaret Conn(Daniels niece) that some of the ships from the UK stopped off at Cape Town and onwards to Australia. Daniel was age 35 in 1906 but I know that most of the time they seemed to knock some years off their age, so the Daniel you have found hopefully is mine as I have been told it is not a very common name. I cant even find a death record for him or his brother Thomas, so I dont know what has happened there. My gran always said that Daniel stayed in Perth Australia but I no one can seem to trace him there either. Thank you so much for your help, Kind regards Dobelove.

Australia / Re: looking for Daniel Park on a ships list going to Australia from Scotland 1901

Hi Ros, no sorry, Daniel did'nt have a middle name according to the list my cousin gave me from the I.G.I. index it lists all the possible children of John Park and Isabella Wilson and none of them have a middle name. (someone was helping him research but he gave up) You asked about a Mrs Dick but she is'nt a family member as I think Margaret Conn was working for her as a nursemaid at Unley road. Margaret Conn died in Ayres consumption home Adelaide and was buried in a paupers grave much to our distress as we thought she was in touch with her uncle Dan but obviously not. I have asked my mum and she said he was always called Dan or Daniel but as you said he could have changed his name for some reason or another. Thank you for the ongoing research, you are very kind. Kind regards Dobelove.

Immigration records to not necessarily record all immigrants. If someone paid their own fare for example, there may not be records of them entering Australia. This may have happened to your Daniel. And lies were often told on immigration records too (one of mine shaved 10 years off his age.  ;))

So Ros looking for death records was a good idea, unless, as you say, he headed back to Scotland at some stage.
  Hi there, not sure if Daniel would pay his own fare as he was a general labourer not a very well paid job, however you never know. Thank you so much for your ongoing help with this. Kind regards Dobelove.
