The "this"//// It is a school record from Norwood school from 1880s and is in the column Previous School

The other one is again from a Norwood school record and hte column residence - it could be Queen st as there is a queen st in Norwood

yes family research

Thank you maddy and izzy. That make sense. Could the second part read "this" - maybe it was sayng the previous school was this school?
Also just send a second one.

HI Kay - thank you. Looking at what you have presented, it makes sense and agree Longscleughside was in fact over the boarder in Cumberland, England. Interesting that William and siblings were all christened though in Castleton Parish in Scotland but it seems they lived across the border in England?!

Hi All
Has any one heard of "Longelagbarsh"
It is listed on the birth record as place of residence for my ancestor William Armstrong b 1779, as per CAstleton, Roxburghshire.

The newspaper article said of Parkhead but I think it should have said Pathhead. Other articles say he was of Dunnikier so putting 2 and 2 together, I have concluded Pathhead is correct. The birth records unfortunately do not show the village

Thank you all for your feedback. The link to Scotland Places was particularly useful and it seems  part of Pathhead was on Dunnikier Estate, hence hte interchangeability of where he was from between Dunnikier and Pathhead.

Monica - I looked at the christenings of all hte children. Unfortunately they all say Dysart so it is not much help in narrowing down. But Newspaper article in Australia narrow it to Dunnikier and Pathhead.

Thank you so much everyone.

The Common Room / Dunnikier - Parkland - Thomson
« on: Sunday 20 November 22 22:18 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All
My ancestor, a John Thomson m. Janet SMith 10/2/1827. They emigrated to Australia in 1839 on the Moffatt from the Kirkcaldy-Dysart region where they were born and had 6 children.
At times they refer to themselves as of "Dunnikier" and at times of "Parkhead". I know Dunnikier was an Estate so I assume he may have lived in one of hte cottages.
Question: How are Dunnikier and Parkhead related? WAs Parkhead originally part of Dunnikier Estate?
Thanks for your help
