Scotland / Re: Glasgow Parochial Board Records
« on: Saturday 15 February 25 18:18 GMT (UK) »Searching the National Records of Scotland catalogue won't help with material held in Glasgow City Archives.
Thanks for your reply. My understanding is that it is possible to search the NRS catalogue for records that are held in the Mitchell Library. For example, the below reference for the Calton Old Kirk Sessioni, which the NRS site shows as held off site.
CH2/725 Records of Glasgow, Calton / Calton Old Kirk Session

Scotland / Glasgow Parochial Board Records
« on: Saturday 15 February 25 16:58 GMT (UK) »
hello everyone
I am planning a trip to the Mitchell library in Glasgow soon. One of the record sets I would like to search is the Parochial Board records for Glasgow in the late 1800s period.
Specifically, I am trying to find any details of a relative who was a foundling.
Would anyone know which record set this could be found in? I have searched the NRS website but noting jumps out.
Thank you all

Good shout, thanks very much Forfarian. I'll get in touch with them

Midlothian / Burghal Industrial School

Hello everyone and seasons greetings to you all!
I am looking for any information I can find on the Burghal Industrial School, on Forest Row, in Greyfriars in Edinburgh. There is a mention of it in the Children's Homes website (link below) but I can't find any mention of it in the Scottish PO Directories or on any census records.
The website says it was part of the city poorhouse and ceased operation in 1893 but the city poorhouse moved location long before that.
Does anyone have any info on this establishment that they could share at all please?
Many thanks in advance!

Northumberland / Re: Help With North East Knowledge Please
« on: Saturday 21 December 24 11:58 GMT (UK) »Thanks for your thanks but I am still in the dark about whether the people named on the entry I found have any relevance to your enquiry.
No problem at all. No, unfortunately they were different names and dates.

« on: Sunday 15 December 24 10:33 GMT (UK) »I spent I a bit of time at the Local Studies checking this out. It would be nice if you could post if the name I sent by pm relates to the person you are interested in.
Probably not, but it is nice to know the outcome even if turns out to be not the hoped for one. You don't need to post details as it seems you want this private.
But it would be nice to have some feedback about how successful or not all my researching was.
Hello River Tyne Lass
I'm so sorry I thought I had replied to your PM but I see it didn't go through, sorry about that.
My reply was to say thank you very much for taking the time to look that up. It was much appreciated and wishing you a lot Christmas.
Thanks again, all the best.
