Lanarkshire / Mitchell Library - Lookup possible, please?
« on: Wednesday 28 June 17 10:56 BST (UK) »
Hello all
I'd hoped that I'd managed to track down a shadowy GG-GF to the City Workhouse in Glasgow. His death certificate details are:
- William Green, born Glasgow, aged 44 years (born 1813 or 1814) died in the City Workhouse, Glasgow, on 18th April, 1858
- Recorded as pauper, currier, and married
- He was seen / diagnosed the previous day (17th) and his death was registered the following day, the 19th
- Buried at Sighthill cemetery
There appears to be a record for someone very similar (D-HEW 10/5/16/2, p. 547) but the birth date doesn't quite match (1808). The only other two records I have of him are the censuses in 1841 and 1851 and both tally for the birth year (1813/14).
It had been my intention to check the records out in person but a dislocated ankle has put paid to that idea for the time being
I wondered if any kind soul had plans to visit the City Archives at the Mitchell Library sometime soon(ish) and would be kind enough to jot down a few details for me?
Many thanks
Alex

Perthshire / Re: SMALL - Moulin Parish. What is this place on baptism record?
« on: Thursday 30 March 17 19:00 BST (UK) »"Also Girsael is a very odd name. No idea if it's male of female."
This *might* be a variation on Grisel, Grizel, or Grizell, (etc)
If it is, it's a female name which is, I believe, derived from Griselda
I have a few of these names in my Scottish lines

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Another conundrum! The name on the back of this photograph??
« on: Wednesday 22 March 17 12:22 GMT (UK) »
Could it be 'Jobie' as in a pet name of Job? There is a christening registration for 19th February 1871, York / Guisborough for Job Taylor Miles at FamilySearch. It would tie in with what appears to be a birth date of January 26th, 1871 on the card (possibly!)
Jobie is also, though a little unusual, a girl's name

Lanarkshire / Re: Divorce records
« on: Wednesday 08 March 17 18:14 GMT (UK) »
Hello
I discovered a divorce that I hadn't known about after purchasing a marriage certificate from Scotland's People. The certificate itself contains a stamp in the first column indicating that the couple subsequently divorced. You will also receive details of the divorce as a free image
(Incidentally, this divorce also occurred in 1919)
Also, both of their death certificates were marked 'Divorced' as neither had remarried
Hope that helps
