Forrest - Carluke

Due to Rootschats regulations about copyright, I can't post the records on here

I'm sure people interested would be happy with the info. transcribed too for others to read who may also be connected & unknown as yet?

I'm sure they are.  Wish I had time to type up a full transcript for all the documents I have.  Alas, as I have thousands of BMD's relating to Forrests I've purchased from SP over the years, it's not feasible.  Have always been happy to share the specific downloads with other Forrest researchers descended from those specific lines.  SP allows us to share provided not for commercial purposes but unfortunately RC doesn't allow it on these forums.  Anyone with known Forrest ancestry in Scotland is welcome to join the Forrest FB group.  There, I can freely post the downloads.

Sorry, I should have been more specific as I was referring to details from your post...

"Robert Forrest married Margaret Kerr in 1840, Mary Hamilton in 1881, and died 1905.  The death record from 1905 confirms both spouses and his parents names.  I have a copy of both marriage records and the death record"

Yep.  Thanks Annie.  Realised that.  Have now shared the original documents with 4043 on the Forrest FB group.  As I say, unfortunately don't have the time to transcribe them.

Hello again.
Sorry to be so long getting back to you I lost track of my account.

I am descended from Frederick William Scott via my mother whose maiden name was Scott.
I was Married to a son of Murial McGregor who was descended from Daniel McGregor.

I have since done my DNA on Ancestry and along with the information the Frederick Scott actually came from Bath in England I have had a DNA match with his other ancestors which I feel confirms that this is our Frederick William Scott. I have contacted my distant family in Bath.

I hope this information is helpful in confirming that we are not from Helen and John but saying that my children are through their family.

"James Forrest and Agnes Scott married in Cambusnethan parish on 10/11/1810." 

I have this couple in my tree. I've done a lot of research using Scotland's People and the historical maps with pretty good success. Trying to track down "Poplar Glen" in Carluke for her death place 1867. I'm assuming it was some sort of old folks home.

Her husband died ten years before at which time her eldest son, Robert, sold Woodhall and immigrated with his kids to Iowa. Daughter, Hilen was married to Thomas Lindsay and living in Biggar. The other daughter was in Illinois.
