James KENNEDY\Jessie PRINGLE - Glasgow

I wasn't on Rootschat 2 years ago, JAP. It must have been for somebody as they are not in my tree 

In those days, if you remember, we had to rush to use up our units by a certain time.

Hmmmm!  This is a bit academic but ...

We didn't ever have to rush to use up our SP credits by a certain time.

That is to say, we didn't ever actually lose unused credits.

Unquestionably in the past there was a much tighter time limit (idiotically short in my view) on using credits without having to purchase more credits.  Though admittedly, when one purchased more credits, the earlier unused credits would be added to the newly purchased credits and the time limit applying to the new credits would then apply also to the earlier unused credits.

Well, that's all in the past - and certainly nowadays the time limit has been enormously expanded.  And still, in the same way, one doesn't lose credits if the time limit is exceeded.

Sorry moken, that's a bit of a sidetrack

Hello Joe,

So the family matches the children of James PRINGLE & Janet AIRD which I posted from the IGI - James, Jean, Elizabeth, Jessie, and William.  Agnes & Robert after the usual cut-off for IGI births extracted from the Scottish statutory registers.

Excellent!

JAP
PS: A possibility for Janet AIRD??
Janet AIRD, parents Thomas AIRD & Grace JOHNSTON, b 21 Mar 1844, Kilmarnock, Ayr

Hi Joe,

I wonder if it was a 'do' after Janet on the household schedule that got transcribed into the census book.

What does it say on the 1881, Joe?
