LATTA families

[tidybooks]

SueLatta,

I had a look at the Scottish Mining Villages site, but I cannot see a death or accident for a John Latta brfore or at the date of the Glasgow Herald article.

I jist checked the index on SP but it appears there is a 14 yr old Robert with them

There are lots of LATTA's on the 1861 census index including a 12 yr old James who was born in Philadelphia USA

[sancti]

Are Robert and Hannah listed with any children in the 1851 census? 

Also, I did not have a John and Janet Latta living at Ceddar.  Another mystery.  Who do they connect with.

Sue

The 1851 census entry on SP is under the name LATTIE

Hi Sue,

I'm just on my way out,but I think the John Latta at cathcart rd on the 1871 census is one of mine.  He was Married to Margaret Cunningham, who I think is the sister of my gggrandfathers step father.  Will have another look at all this when I get home tonight.

Latta was a prominent family in Dumbarton.  I live in Latta Street.

As I understand the Latta family owned a Tannery and were into local politics.

I am sure the local Dumbarton Library will have all the relevant details or if you want to make contact, off the website, I can do a little local research for you.

I am only gathering what information I can off the internet and from ancestry.com's census records to update these families on our website.  Since this is not my direct line, I am not going into a great detail on them.  I appreciate your help.  If I have someone interested in this family who contacts me, I will give them the information to this website.  Everyone is very helpful.  Thanks.
