Hi Theresa
Thanks. I did check that. Since posting my original message I have got
copies
of the birth registrations for the other children. They all say the parents
had
2 girls deceased.
I had about 6 members of one family all come to Australia on different boats
several years apart, so you're right it is worth checking.
Thanks again
Karen

How tantalising is that. You MAY have thrown up an incident involving my William Auld. If not him then a good excuse to mention him!
William Auld born August 1812 in Kirkliston and orphaned by 1814. (no siblings), Found in 1841 in Livingstone, married 1842 in West Calder to Rachel Weir and had eldest child there in 1844, lived Rig, Cramond in 1851, Tranent 1861, Whitburn 1871- 1881, Greenock 1891 and died 1902 in Helensburgh!

Ancestry.com will still be available through most public libraries. Or, you
could break down and subscribe. There is a lot to be said for being able to
do research from home at 9:30 p.m. while sitting barefoot in your T-shirt

Otherwise, the FamilySearch.org group has a big volunteer driven project
going on to create indexes/extractions of the Salt Lake library's microfilm
collection. These will then be made available through the FamilySearch web
site.

You may have better luck with the SCT-WEST-LOTHIAN list, which covers the old county of Linlithgowshire, as the county of Midlothian does not include Ecclesmachan.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
Several listers recently have been interested in Newton burials and the
colliers' loft there. One message indicated that burials are only available
from 1855 forward. Newton's OPRs contain lair records kept by the kirk for
years before (most years) going back to 1730 and perhaps earlier. I have
read those from 1730 to 1855 via film on loan from the LDS.
As for the loft erected within the church, it is only accessible via an
outdoor set of stairs which is in poor condition. For this reason, th
John,
I was really referring to formal employment type records that someone can
write away for.
I originally had a line that things like pay books and other records which
name individuals are available (bad cut and paste job by me I'm afraid).
You bring up an important point about also trying indirect sources. I've
had lots of success with civil and criminal court records, and estate records.
It does take patience and luck

I have been mystified for a number of years by some baptisms and burials which I found for my GIBSON family line in the "Registers of Edrom Church ". One such entry for the baptism of Anderson Gibson in 1818, son of David Gibson, hind Sheriffhall; another being the burial of a daughter , Alison also in 1818 , who is the daughter of David, hind Sheriffhall.
The only Sheriffhall I have ever found since digging these entries out 5 years ago is by Dalkeith. I have two q

I have a nice mystery to solve and I'd appreciate some help! My little orphan Annie is proving to be a complicated soul.
Marion Currie was born 1826 to William Currie and Isabella McLea. Her father died before 1829 when her mother remarried to Mathew lindsay and two children were born George McLea lindsay and Helen Lindsay. It appears that Isabella and matthew both succumbed before 1841 so Marion Currie and George (but not Helen who probably died) were brought up by Isabella's fat
Hi to Fionnghal and Mary
Thanks for your reply.
Like you say the marriage should have been registered here in NZ. It was
compulsory after 1860 here, though a number of the old registers never
made it to our central repository, and are lost forever. The other
problem is that Captain Brown was taken before the courts for failing to
supply the necessary vitals the passengers who were short of food and
water. There was a big well documented court case, but Brown skipped the
country, so maybe the records w
If whomever was it that wanted to see the miner's plaque in Newton kirk

Hi
I am looking for any information on William Elgie CORNER. Apparently
there may be some connection to my Edmund CORNER b. 29.11.1807 as there
is a letter in existence with an elderly relative (which I hope to have
a copy of soon) from William Elgie CORNER to his nephew Edward.
As William was born 1817 and Edmund 1807 I am hoping they may be
brothers or cousins.
Edmund married Theresa Byrne 1828 St Cuthbert's Edinburgh and their
child were Anne, Edward Craig, Drummond and unknown daughter.

One thing to note about the church is that I've been out there twice and on
both ocassions it was closed so I've never seen the miners loft. I don't
actually know when it's open, apart from Sunday obviously!

Your recommendation of this site

Either way, thanks,
