Hi jaellio,
            . . . and welcome to RootsChat.

I too have something of an interest here as the Parochial Schoolmaster during this time was my GGM's father-in-law.(her second marriage, so not my line) He was also the district's Registrar from 1855, James Burdon by name. Somewhere on the internet I found an engraving of the School House, Church, etc. that might be of use to you. If you PM me your e-mail address I will pass it on with its caption. (copyright issues on the Forum).

Thank you for the tip about the book. I'll have to look for a copy.

Alan

His marriage entry from Scotland's People will give parents details.

Great if it did. Here is the extract from the OPR's
24 - William Elliot , Collier , and Jane Weir , both at Rosehall in this parish, were married at Old Monklands manse on the 31st Day of December year 1850 by the Reverend John Johnston , minister of Old MonkLands. Certainly no mention of parents.
Any other place than the OPR's I can get marriage details ???.   ???

Was the Manse  at Old Monklands the home of the Minister of Old Monklands church (Presberyterian) in the 1850's .
Or was it a separate home as mentioned in
An Appreciation of, “Auld” Old Monkland, (Written by Bob Cameron c1986).
Reason I as is that my forebears , William Elliot & Jane were married at the Old Monklands manse by Rev John Johnston , Minister.

The William Elliot on the Northern Light in 1855 (with wife Jane and child Charles aged 1) is stated to be a joiner  ???

I have look at the original passenger list and to me it looks like miner not Joiner BUT If anybody else has access to the original passenger list , not the transcription, I'm prepared to be swayed  :-\ understand the script

No he was a miner .... not a minister.

The Common Room / William Elliott & Jane (nee Weir)
« on: Saturday 15 February 14 11:46 GMT (UK)  »
Born 21 June 1825 no location (information from Family Bible)
Married Jane Weir 31.12.1850 at the Manse Old Monklands
Recorded living at 22 Back St. Coathill in 1851 Census.  Which identified them being born in Ireland.
Travelled to Australia in 1855 on the "Northern Light" where he was listed as a Presbyterian Miner..

Have looked at the 1841 Census , but cannot find any links.
Any suggestions gratefully accepted, on research of any documentation I can access to fill in the time between the 1841 and 1851 census.  :) .
