Hi Bobo,

Think this might be what you are looking for, try www.libraries-archives.gov.mt This is a Malta site which holds all the records I think you are looking for. They will be very helpful, but don't expect a fast reply, there is never a rush on the island, especially with gov. departments.

Good luck & hope you find your answers.

Midlothian / Angus-Reid? (Peterson)
« on: Saturday 04 March 06 17:10 GMT (UK)  »
I'm desperate ??? for any ideas

Through the LHSarchive, they have confirmed the birth of my gdfather, both from the register & case book of The Edinburgh Royal Maternity & Simpson Memorial Hospital. Unfortunately, there is no birth cert., no marriage for his mother or her death anywhere on SP, regardless of area!!

Details I have are James Angus b. 8.00am 4th Jan. 1868, mother unmarried, Ann Angus, her father James Angus, her mother Mary Moffat, father as named William Reid (Engineer) Mussleburgh. The rest of the family all check out and Ann is last found on the 1861 census for Contin ROC, after 1868 she vanishes & William Reid is a complete mystery!!

Because of old letters of gdf I have traced him to a family called Peterson from Shetalnd where he is listed with 3 others as a "boarder" aged 3 in the 1871 census & at 14  a scholar in the 1881 census.
Addresses are 48, Buccleuch St & 9 Orwell Place, both Edinburgh.

From the family I know in the 30's his 2 brothers? arrived to see him in London, one was a Gilly, but nobody knew their names, so no joy there!!

Any thoughts would be very very welcome, I'm just going round in circles!! I don't understand this "boarder" system, the Peterson's were not family so somebody must have paid for keep and I imagine his school. Anybody know if there might be records for children boarders anywhere?

Thank you in advance if anybody can help

Hi Bobo,

Have you thought about placing an ad. on one of the sites on the net for Malta perhaps www.searchmalta.com or an add in the Times of Malta? We go there a lot and the Camilleri name is all over the island, perhaps somebody there will be able to help you.

Regards

Armed Forces / Re: Help please with Scottish Regiment

Hi Millerina,

If he lived in Edinburgh, do you know if he also joined up there? I don't know if you have tried this but if you contact the The Royal Scots in Edinburgh and send the photo they might be able to help both with the badge & uniform. I contacted duncan.macdonald@dft.gsi.gov about my grandfather & he was very helpful. Also have you tried to identify the tartan he is wearing, that might give you a clue as to what the regiment was. Suggest you try the hunting tartans as more likely than the dress tartan.

Good luck

WeeMary - Many thanks for looking, it would be very possible that there were no headstones, I believe the family were shepherds, so I don't expect they had much money in those days, or possibly there is another church in the area-Regards Sukie

Hi WeeMary,

Just noticed your kind offer. If you have time, I'd be very grateful if you can find any members of the Angus family burried in Dingwall. They lived in the area from about the mid 1800's and descendants are possibly still in the area.

Grateful thanks,
Sukie
