Very spooky to see a post on here about someone living about c150 years ago with your own name!
My Paternal Grandmother's family also lived in Neilston where there was a huge mill (the building is actually still there but just not a mill anymore). She married into my Reid family originally from Ireland.

It's appeared on mine too.
Seems to now be produced by Lisa Kudrow who did her own episode. I'm sure Sarah Jessica Parker was already done on WDYTYA in the UK.
I'm sure they also showed at least one marriage certificate from the Gorbals in the Rashida Jones episode but didn't mention it was a Scottish certificate. I also thought that perhaps her mother had a connection to the Lipton family in the UK but again nothing was mentioned. I suppose they are only about half an hour long.

You can find the Glasgow Herald and Evening Times newspapers on Google Newspaper Archive FoC. Unfortunately though, there is no great search function and you have to search by going to the specific date of paper you are looking for and then "reading" the paper.

Sorry unable to help with finding the grave, however, noted that you state a son was born in 1905 and refer to the "paternity index", not sure what you mean by this? If an Action for Declarator of Parentage was granted, there would be a Register of Corrected Entries (RCE) document attached to the original birth entry and would also be shown by an annotation stamped in the margin on the original birth entry. This is the only way that you would know whether a Decree was granted.

Just wondering if Alexander was any relation to James Purdie otherwise known in Paisley as Ta Ta Bella, one of the Paisley characters? Purdie is not a common name.

Hi,
I just spotted this post
My husband is connected to the Sandilands of Fife and back to Abernethy! His Grandmother was Christina Adamson Sandilands (1889 - 1974) and she married James Bain (1890-1976). Her Grandfather was her first ancestor from Abernethy John Sandilands (1823-1869).
Kind regards,
Carolineasb

There is a William Caldwell death in the British Columbia records aged 40 (I know a bit out) on 24 March 1901 in Revelstoke. There is no image but these are the details:
Registration Number:1901-09-173606
BC Archives Mfilm Number:B13106GSU
Mfilm Number:1927134
Perhaps someone on here and living in the area could find out more? Or if you write to the Records there?
