I would be grateful if someone with access to the above could look up the entry for Edward Hunter  born Saltcoats, Scotland and fill in the info I cannot access with a UK Ancestry account.

Thanks

Lanarkshire / Lookup request
« on: Monday 23 December 19 11:04 GMT (UK)  »
If anyone is going to a Scotland's People Centre i would appreciate a lookup.
The person is potentially still living as the birth is 1937 so i do not want to post too much info online.

If anyone is in a position to help i would be grateful it is to assist someone in Australia who is trying to find out about the father she never knew

Lanarkshire / Re: Govan - East Drumoyne Cottage (1901) & Drumoyne House (1918)

Had another look at the maps and it appears all three  sets of farms buildings were very close to one another. West was located around Mallaig Rd and Mid was around Arshiel Rd (next to Dysart for those of a certain age) and East on Drumoyne Rd at Aberlady Rd.

 West Drumoyne can be seen on this map

Drumoyne and Mid Drumoyne are shown on this map

To help clarify the mid and West. The West Drumoyne Farm was in what became Pirie Park. Long after the farm was gone and the houses in Mallaig Road (always called the farm lane houses) and the High School was built it continued to be called Miller's Farm. I don't know if that was after the farmer who lived there or a previous farmer. My father always called it that and often recounted how he stood on the hill overlooking the farm watching the Clydebank blitz.

Inverness / Re: McIntosh McBean Dores

Thanks that is very helpful. As I passed Tomnahurich the other week it crossed my mind I might be missing something. Just as well I didn't  waste my time there.

Thanks.

No I did not have this info from the MI. Can you tell me which cemetery it is from?  I suspect my ancestor may be a McBean as she had at least one sister Mary (b 1827c) who had a son in 1851c Duncan Grant. I can trace him up to 1901 but he never married. It may be this Mary or another sister had Mina. There is no trace of a husband in the census records for Mary.  So much information  for such a brick wall!

Finally popped past Inverness to look up records. Staff very helpful but nothing in the Kirk Session records. a massive gap in minutes (not missing pages but 20 years lapse in the book). Nothing mentioned in the 1883 period. 

I have discovered that one Daughter of May and Donald, Mary MacKintosh (b 1858) married John Urquhart (b 1857c) in Inverness. She died in Inverness in 1929.

James Place was part of Langlands Road. Sometimes addresses were given by the name of the row of tenements. It ran between Harmony Row and Helen Street.
