I've started a family tree and placed this info in - over 100 names for starters - WOW.
Am going to embark upon the Scotland's People journey which looks very promising given your excellent information.
I'm really curious to see how far back I can go and how much can be learned about these people.
Will need to try and find out a few things too. There is a family debate over how many kids Horatio & Matilda (married 1913) actually had, which is more tricky to resolve now there are few people left.
Many thanks again, this has been a massive help

Glad we could get you started on your journey, TW.  Good luck with your tree!

I've been trawling through a great deal of archive now on the SP site and making great progress.  However, I can't seem to link the Weir side properly.  Some conflicting info on Horation Nelson b1849 seems to have parents as Ebenezer and Elizabeth Black whilst I was sure they should be Ebenezer and Mary Agnew.
Very interesting stuff though

Where are you getting the info on his parents being Ebenezer and Elizabeth Black?

Hi there,

It's on the death certificate for H N Weir in 1916

Hi TW

Be careful with the death extracts, information about parents is not always correct since it's reliant on the informant knowing all facts.  I have several extracts in my possession where information pertaining to one/both parents has been wrong.

Having said that, if the informant is a son or daughter you'd think they'd know who their grandmother was 

Who is the informant on the certificate TW?

Hi there,

It was his son, Ebenezer so would have thought he should have gotten this right surely
