Midlothian / Re: Andrew James Keltie

The 1841 Census for Fossoway & Tulliebole shows residing at Middle Coldrain :

And'w J Keltie, aged 8
Janet Keltie, aged 14
Christian Keltie, aged 20
Wm G Keltie, aged 25, occupation Ag. Lab.
Isabella Keltie, aged 50
David Keltie, aged 60 (or 61 depending on how you interpret the writing), Farmer

The census entry indicates that Isabella and David Keltie were born in Scotland; but And'w J and the other three were apparently born in England.

I haven't found an entry (yet) for Andrew, but Janet, Christian and William were all born in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, England, on 1 April 1807, 30 Jan 1820 and 25 Sep 1814 respectively. There was also an Adam born 5 May 1816 and an Isabella born 7 Dec 1817.

Although one can't say for sure at this stage, you would have to think that Andrew J Keltie was possibly himself born in Rickmansworth, and that David Keltie and Isabella could be his parents.

There are no Andrew Kelties recorded as being born in Scotland in the firt half of the 19th century. (But that proves nothing, as it was not compulsory in Scotland to register births until 1855). The nearest ones date-wise are :

Andrew Keltie born 10 Sept 1799 to Andrew Keltie & Elizabeth Gibson in Perth

Andrew Keltie born 25 May 1783 to David Keltie (mother not named) in Fossoway and Tulliebole

Andrew Keltie born 7 July 1776 to David Keltie (mother not named) in Fossoway and Tulliebole.

There was one recorded in 1806 with the spelling Kelty :

Andrew Kelty born 3 July 1806 to Andrew Kelty & Elspet Wardlaw in Dunfermline.

From the entry in the Old Parish Register of Marriages for Glasgow for 1854 :

"Andrew James Keltie, Engineer in Glasgow, & Sarah Jamieson residing there, married 14th July by Mr Archibald Watson, Minister of St Matthew's Church, Glasgow."

Elder Park Library referred me to the Mitchell, so I checked there without success - yet. I did find Martha Cook in the 1881 valuation roll, but this was before she moved to Govan. Still to follow up your other suggestions. Took a handful of pics in Govan today, including the Lyceum Cafe. Any interest to you ?

Many thanks for your reply. On my next day off I'll take a run over to Govan and follow up your suggestions. Cheers.

Lanarkshire / Martha Cook, 1890s Govan, Glasgow
« on: Friday 15 June 07 17:29 BST (UK)  »
In the 1890s, my great-grandmother Martha Cook ran a fish restaurant (perhaps an early fish & chip shop) in Govan, Glasgow. I'm told it may have been in Govan Road or nearby. She apparently got a lot of custom from the workers of Fairfield's shipyard nearby. She herself lived off Govan Road in Elder Street, right beside the shipyard. I can't find any references in the Glasgow directories to her shop. I've no photos to go on either. Can anyone give me any pointers ? Many thanks.

Midlothian / OPR death look-up Robert Keltie
« on: Saturday 04 February 06 22:14 GMT (UK)  »
Robert Keltie was married in Edinburgh in 1835. OPR marriage register did not name his parents. I think he died between 1847 and 1851. His last address was 132 Fountainbridge, Edinburgh in the 1841 Census, age given as (looks like) 40. His wife was Agnes Grieve. Can anyone assist with a look-up for his death ? Thanks, RK
