The Common Room / Re: Police Consatable Wanlockhead Dumfries-shire

John Paterson may have been a shoemaker before he joined the police force and gone back to that occupation after he left. What was his occupation when he married Janet Hadden in 1876?

John Paterson was only in his early fifties when he died in 1910. What was the cause of death? He may have left the police force due to health grounds.

Have you checked ScotlandsPeople for Charles McCann's death certificate? It will tell you the hame of his widow.

Angus (Forfarshire) / Re: Jute Factory Thomas Bell Dundee

Dundee University Archives hold the records of Thomas Bell and Sons [ref. MS 66/1]. These include minute books, letter books, ledgers, shareholding records and tradesmen's time books. It is unlikely that records relating to individual employees have survived. Bell's Belmont and Heathfield Works were situated in Hawkhill, Dundee, and are long gone (demolished to make way for university buildings).

Findmypast has Dennis, but I'm not convinced. There appears to be a loop above the 4th letter.

The only burial ground in Ceres is the churchyard attached to the parish church. The current parish church was built in 1806, on the site of an earlier building, possibly dating to the 12th century.
