Address in 1851 Census - Kilbarchan, Renfrewshire
« on: Tuesday 25 June 24 07:44 BST (UK) »
Hi

Hoping someone can help me decipher the record for John & Janet Galbraith (item 4 on the schedule).  Find My Past has it as Society House but I have not been able to find any trace of this in any records.  Ancestry has just missed it out.


Help!

Thanks in advance

Hi, assuming that you got this from Scotlands People, I would suggest you go back on the site and report a problem with the image. Report an issue just above the image in question. The will either look at the original record for you or more likely rescan the document.

FreeCen transcribes it as Society House Linwood

Could it be the Kilbarchan General Society?

Thanks, I hadn't looked there.  I've been looking for a link to the Kilbarchan General Society and Society House but have not as yet been able to find one.

That's a great idea!  Many thanks!

Fowler's Paisley & Commercial Directory and General Advertiser 1853-1854
QUARRELTON
Linwood Victualling Society, John Galbraith, salesman

Any connection?

Update - the 1845-46 Directory has "John Galbreath" not "Galbraith" and need to recheck '53-54 (but problems repeating search).
Update - '53-'54 reads "Galbraith".

Welcome to Rootschat :-)

Looking at the page, at the top it shows that they lived in the Village of Linwood, which was within the Parish (but not the village) of Kilbarchan
