Renfrewshire / Re: Hue and cry
« on: Sunday 17 August 25 17:52 BST (UK)  »
Thank you for your response,

What would be the best way of finding out which newspapers were in circulation at the time and subsequently making an enquiry about the event?

Renfrewshire / Hue and cry
« on: Sunday 17 August 25 15:24 BST (UK)  »
My gt grandfather Charles Gallacher was attacked in Neilston and subsequently died of his injuries on 5 July 1885. From his hospital records (unbelievable that I actually have them) I know the surname of his attacker.
On 15 August a ‘hue and cry’ was issued for this attacker accused of culpable homicide (same name)
I’ve tried to find out further information about details held by Renfrewshire Constabulary which led to the issue of the hue and cry notice.
I’d also like to know if his attacker was ever apprehended.
I’ve tried searching Police Records but I haven’t had any success.
If anyone can help I’d appreciate it.
I haven’t mentioned the attacker’s name to ensure his family’s privacy albeit the attack was 140 years ago but of course happy to share with anyone who can help.

Argyllshire / Re: McLean

Thank you so much Colin and Nell I really appreciate your help.

My friend is convinced it is the McLean side which originates from Mull.

 How would I be able to find that out since Archie and Ann’s marriage won’t have their parents’ names to try find in early census etc.

Argyllshire / McLean
« on: Sunday 30 July 23 11:38 BST (UK)  »
I’m researching for a friend and she is sure her ancestors are from Mull. I can’t however find any of the names she has given me actually in Mull.

I have a John McLean and Jessie McDougall marrying in Easdale in 1891 and this gives Johns parents as Archie McLean and Ann McGregor.

I think it might be Archie and Ann who are the links to Mull.  I was wondering if someone could suggest the best way to proceed.

 My great grandfather was attacked in Neilston Renfrewshire, subsequently dying of his wounds in Western Infirmary 5/7/1885.
Before he died he gave a deposition to the Sheriff. Amazingly I have a copy of his handwritten hospital notes which are fascinating.
I wonder if anyone can offer advice about the best way to find out if there is a record of this deposition and where I might find it. I don’t know if his assailant was ever charged. I’ve tried looking at newspapers of the time without any success.
My gt grandfather’s name was Charles Gallacher and his attacker surname Lynch.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Lanarkshire / Catholic Orphanage Abercrombie st GLASGOW

I have found in 1891 census a Daniel and Andrew Gallacher. They are both born in Barrhead and their ages are the same as 2 of my ancestors who were born in Barrhead. 
The only thing is that their parents are still alive. I’ve checked their family 1891 census and they’re not on it. This makes me think it could indeed be them in the home.
Would it be possible for a family to ‘pretend’ the boys needed to go into the home or could there be another reason?

Renfrewshire / Fight outside pub in Neilston
« on: Saturday 06 February 21 14:30 GMT (UK)  »
My 3x gt grandfather, Charles Gallocher was involved in a fight with a man outside a pub in Neilston, Renfrewshire in 1885.  He subsequently died of his injuries in the Western Infirmary.  It’s a mystery how he would have got to the hospital as they were a very poor family.
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of how to find possible police records and / or newspaper reports of the fight or his death. Thanks

Thank you GR2.  Your response is appreciated.  I did wonder since he came from humble beginnings.

Renfrewshire / Barrhead Lamplighter/Commisioner
« on: Thursday 05 November 20 10:28 GMT (UK)  »
The Rachel O’Neil I mentioned in my ‘shop’ post was married to John O’Neil.  John was a Lamplighter but in the 1911 census as well as his occupation being Lamplighter it notes his Employer as ‘Town Council, Burgh Commisioner’.
Could someone shed any light on the significance of this?
