Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Birth Thomas Clarke Bradford

Hi all, just a wee update. I found records of Thomas Clarke inmate in a reformatory, his brother William also an inmate.
1901 census shows Thomas, William, Harriet and Annie.

My cousin has been in contact with a grandson of one of Thomas Clarkes sister.

Wonderful being able to find out about my grandfathers past although I'm not sure my late mother would have been so happy!

AlanBoyd.

this is quite possible. A previous suggestion he may have left because of some infringement?

I will try and see if there any any records still held for that Constabulary in Dumfries.

thanks for your reply.

RJ-Paton,

thanks for the reply.

Quite possible the demon drink being a factor, however, I'll never know  ???

Yes as far as can make out the 1901 man has the same named wife.

I was somewhat confused as to why someone with what was probably a secure job as a Police Constable in 1891 should end up as a Porter in 1901.

It would be interesting to know, however, very unlikely now.

I would doubt if the records for the old Dumfries-shire Constabulary still exist.

Hi, researching family history, I found the following person. He was not a blood relation, one of his grandsons married a woman in my maternal family tree.

John A Paterson was born 1857 in Biggar Lanarkshire, he married Janet Hetherington Hadden born 1855 Hoddom Dumfries-shire.
They married in Wamphrey 1876.

The next time I find John Paterson is on the SP Census in 1891 (with Janet and family) listed as a Police Constable in Wanlockhead Dumfries-shire.

On the 1901 Census, John Paterson is listed as a Railway Porter. Living in Maryhill Glasgow.

Died Stobhill Hospital Glasgow 1910.

Is it possible to confirm John a Police Constable in Wanlockhead 1891 is the same John a Railway Porter 1901 Glasgow?

If he is the same person, I wonder why he left the Polis.

thanks in anticipation

CaroleW  softly softly.

Catherine McCorquodale White or Whyte born Canal St. Clydebank 1879.

on Betty Bews Hamiltons marriage certificate to Robert Paterson in 1940, both of Bettys parents still alive.

Looks like you have found the deaths of Kathleen and Bettys parents James and Catherine Hamilton in Cathcart.

thanks a million

Tommy

Thanks yes I've traced the birth of Kathleen and Betty, both born Paisley. I had Betty's marriage but thanks for the info on Kathleen.
I have the births of James Hamilton in Greenock and Catherine's birth in Clydebank. Just having problems finding records of their death.
Kind regards
Tommt
