Lanarkshire / Re: Death - 19th May 1883, Robison/Robinson - but I cant find it anywhere!! :(

Yep - have sent request for some credit - see what happens!

FOOTNOTE - the son, recording the death, Alexander, has his name recorded as ROBISON [which I believe is correct, and on other documents of his father and mother] and then this is 'corrected' to fit with Robertson.

Doing this search is SO much easier with help!!  :)

Yep, wrongly recorded - life was cheap, it was the tonnage that was accurately recorded!

Aged 37!  :)  Which fits my records and reminds me that the Pit 'HR' records were poor (although they had an army of accountants  :( )

Father killed in Pit, son killed in Pit, both buried in pauper's graves at Dalbeth, Glasgow.

Sancti - thank you for your help.

Joe.

 ???  ??? So, search for J Rob*son, jan-dec 1883, aged 38-52, Lanarks., and still cant find him.  What did they do with the body! ?

Well, that definitely looks like him!  But aged 50 is about 9-10 yrs older than i expected. However, his son dies in the Auchenraith Pit, http://scottishmining.co.uk/Indexes/1896deaths.html on March 23 1896 and is recorded as Robertson too, buried at Dalbeth Cemetery. I think there were a lot of Robertsons in the Pits in the Blantyre area and the Robison name just got merged into Robertson.

So now i need to go look for Robertson, at Hamilton, for death cert.

THANKS!!!  :)

It's on the digital image of the birth cert of his  daughter, Margaret, b 25 Jul 1883. Gives the father as "James Robison, Pit Sinker, deceased 19th May 1883"

Lanarkshire / Death - 19th May 1883, Robison/Robinson *Completed* Thank you Sancti!

aaaaaaagh!  I have the details from a birth cert that the husband had died 19 May 1883, but I cant find his death on SP (have tried about 7 possibilities) nor England, nor Ireland (though not sure I'm looking in all the right places there?)

James Robison (although sometimes recorded as Robinson / Robertson) last known in Blantyre and married to Isabella Tolan(d) with 9 children. Aged about 41 and born nr Larne, Co Antrim and married there in Oct 1864 (or Oct 1863) before moving to Maryhill, Glasgow (1871) and then onto Blantyre and the mining industry.

really stumped!  :(

Thanks for any help / pointers.

PS missed Monica at Olympia, but spoke to some other Mods to say how great the website is  :)

Derry (Londonderry) / Re: looking for location = 'Altyarn' ? possibly near Ballymoney (Derry or Antrim?)
« on: Wednesday 20 March 13 00:49 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks for that :)  Registers helped - pointed to address of Ballymoney, Dungiven, Derry.  (My) Ballymoney is/was a few miles west of Dungiven. I have found an old 1925 map of the area online at www.benbradagh.com/ and it clearly shows the Ballymoney that I'm interested in.

Also, just beside it, on the modern day map is Altagarron Rd - which sounds very like Altyarn if the 'g' is softened.

Will now start to look for detailed church records in this small area.  Thanks for your help.
