Lanarkshire / Mitchell Library Research
« on: Thursday 04 April 24 23:14 BST (UK) »
Hello! I’m just wondering if anyone is going to the Mitchell Library soon and could look up something for me? I have written, but my response from them is that they are too busy and offered a research assistant for a very large fee that I cannot afford. I live in the US so there’s no way of me visiting in person. I am looking for an application or record from Barnhill Poorhouse for my 3X Great Grandmother Elizabeth Gilchrist, maiden name Finney.
I have found her death record that she died at Barnhill Poorhouse on April 2nd 1876 due to “Debility” when she was 36 years old. I am trying to find out when she was admitted there and for what reason if that is possible.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart in advance!!

Her father John’s occupation is Cotton Mill Laborer. And her mother Elizabeth’s occupation is not listed.

I have been trying to find any kind of information for my grandfathers family. I know he moved to US Massachusetts when he was 7 from Scotland. He was born in Clydebank, I have all the information for his parents but I get stuck with his sets of grandparents. He was never one to talk about his family or his past unfortunately and I wasn’t into ancestry at the time so I didn’t even think to ask him anything. Thankfully, ScotlandsPeople has been super helpful with records like birth and marriage records. But I haven’t been able to find anything as far as his grandparents parents/families. I search ancestry using the maiden names of both of his grandmothers that are listed in the records from Scotland’s people and I find absolutely nothing. Here’s what I have:
John Gilchrist Jr (my grandpa-no siblings) 1922-2009
Mother-Margaret Turner
Father- John Gilchrist Sr
Margaret’s Parents:
Father - Robert Turner
Mother- Mary Heany
John Sr.s Parents:
Mother: Sarah Holmes
Father: Peter Gilchrist
This is where I get stuck, I found the marriage record for Sarah Holmes and Peter Gilchrist and all of the information matches so I know it’s them. But I can’t find anything on their parents.
Peters parents:
Father: James Gilchrist
Mother: Elizabeth Feenie
Sarah’s parents:
Father: John Holmes
Mother: Elizabeth Boylan
Any idea where I start?
