Perthshire / Robert McGregor, Murthly Asylum
« on: Tuesday 10 November 15 11:51 GMT (UK)  »
Wondering if any of you good folks would have information on the above.  I think he may have been the second husband of Margaret Short/Crichton/Mcgregor.  He seems to have disappeared from the scene but I found a death cert for a Robert who died in Murthly Asylum 14/3/1905 aged 50.  Can I find out if he was Margaret's husband and why he was in the Asylum???

Antrim / Re: Baxter/McMinn families

I had actually come across this family and thought it was them - except for Mother in Laws name being Connor rather than Green.  Although, I suppose she could have re-married.  Other than that, the detail would all match.

I now know that William Baxter's parents were John Baxter and Sarah Green.
Margaret McMinn's parents were Robert McMinn and Janet Clark.

If anyone has any information which could help me further my search or even know which records to request from the official offices, I'd be very grateful

Ross & Cromarty / Re: isle of lewis

I could try and help if you need something easy!! 

Although, I found with my Lewis side that Scotlands records were useful and was amazed what can be found on google (other internet browsers are available!!!) as one whole branch of my tree had already been researched.   This is useful when you are dealing with so many people who have the same name (common occurance in Lewis)

World War One / Re: Death on HMS Isonzo
« on: Wednesday 23 January 13 12:31 GMT (UK)  »
thanks to all who answered.  I did at one time look up a document at the records office in Edinburgh (can't remember now what type of record) and it had (2) after the reason for death.  I didn't know if this was some type of naval code for type of death.   On his memorial stone it does say he was lost in the mediteranean, so looks as if body not recovered.

World War One / Death on HMS Isonzo
« on: Tuesday 22 January 13 21:24 GMT (UK)  »
My ggrandfather, john thomson died on the 22 February 1917 on the HMS Isonzo.  I cannot find that the ship was in any conflict at the time and as john's reason for death is drowning, how can I find out what happened?  Speculation within family suggest it may be have been suicide or (knowing my family) he could have fallen over the side drunk!!!!!!

Any help appreciated

Perthshire / Re: Duff

I have a James Duff who died 25/2/1858 and was the son of John Duff and Margaret Garvie.

I do have some other Duffs on the other side but they are Logierait rather than Auchtergaven.
