2. In the Army 1851/61 ? [1]
Dear list, I have recently found the death record for my gg grandfather and it describes him as an Army pensioner. I'm wondering if anyone has come across him in either the 1851 or 1861 census in an Army barracks? I'm looking for William McGINTY / McKINTY (usually described as being born in Ireland and having the occupation of Cartwright). In 1851 he would have been 25. (His young son William, aged 4, is recorded with 'grandparents' HUTTON at 3 Cumings Close, Canongate along with an Elizabeth WEIR

We all know the most common naming pattern: The first son was named after the father's father The second son was named after the mother's father The third son was named after the father The fourth son was named after the father's eldest brother The first daughter after the mother's mother The second daughter after the father's mother The third daughter after the mother The fourth daughter after the mother's eldest sister What about second families? I saw this somewhere but can't for the life of me re
7. Looking for valentine smith [1]
Hi Everyone, My name is Sue Hixon and I have been researching my own and my husbands family trees for about 6 years now. I am stuck on one branch though and that is for Valentine Smith. He had a child with a lady named Bridget Cairnan but I have never found a marriage for them. Their son John Smith was born 29 jul 1857 in Dundee scotland and is registered under both Smith and Cairnan. Valentine then married a lady named Mary Jane Kennedy on the 29 of nov 1859 in Dundee Scotland. They had 7 children

Hello everyone, I've just joined this list in the hope of finding out anything about St Cuthbert's poorhouse. I've seen the website that features Scottish poorhouses. I'm trying to work out if a John Monteath who died there in 1867 is my ancestor. the death cert gives no clues asto family. Any suggestions most gratefully received. Katrina in Australia

Can't help with census records - but his Army service and pension records will be at the PRO Kew. There is an index, at least I found an index to 1815 (Waterloo and Peninsula Wars) service.

11. Patricia Stewart CRAIG, Millicent JUDGE [1]
Hi folks, On a visit to Inveresk I took a photo of a gravestone to Patricia Stewart CRAIG who died in 1986 aged 43. Other people on the same stone were John JUDGE, OBE (1905-1990) and Millicent M P JUDGE (1912-1992). This is too recent for me to get birth or death certs - does anyone know the family or if there are any survivors that I could contact? My connection is Millicent's father Alexander STEWART who is my great-uncle. Regards, Janet Turnbull Sale

Rosemary: While I am not sure of this, it seems to me the nameing patern was repeated for several generations. My own familiy bible as an example has Alice (the imingrant going thru 3 generations), the same for her husband John and I see many of the same names all the way to the 5th generation. I see 4 Johns all alive at the sametime!! Gordon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rosemary Meechan" To: Sent: Monday, May 30, 2
13. Extra Birth Certs in North Leith, Midlothian [1]
I only have one but you just never know your luck do you! Let me know if you want further details or a scan. December 1842 STRACHAN - James born 19 Oct 1842 SIMPSON - William born 8 Nov 1842 BROWN - James born 4 Nov 1842 BURGESS - Helen born 24 Oct 1842 LINKLATER - James born 28 Oct 1842 I've just realised this was before registration so they are extracts from an Old Parochial Register - probably all on the IGI anyway - but they do give occupation of father and where they were living. Cheers....Dawn

19. Re: [MLN] In the Army 1851/61 ? [1]
Hi again Andy Army pensions can be a bit mysterious. We have a parallel branch in Aberdeen where the son is 25 in the 1881 Census & his occupation is "Chelsea Pensioner". I know the well-known buildings and traditions were being created in the 18th century, but we were very surprised to see this "occupation" for one so young. I suppose he "did his duty for Queen & Country" and was reasonably looked after when invalided out. Best wishes Ray ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy Walsh"
20. RE: Original marriage records, St. Cuthberts Edinburgh - Cautioners - STEPHENSON/STEVENSON, POCOCK, WIGHT [1]
Can anyone tell me if there are ORIGINAL registers of St. Cuthberts and High Church available? I've seen the indexed compilation, register of marriages for all Edinburgh parishes, on FHL film, but believe there should be more info in the original record - shouldn't the names of witnesses, called cautioners in Scotland, be given? My ancestor Isabella Stephenson/Stevenson married James Pocock in 1839 in the Relief Church, recorded at St. Cuthberts, and her sister Margaret married John Wight in 1842 at Hi
21. RYCE/BRYCE and WALLACE [1]

23. Unregistered deaths in Edinburgh, 1880s? [1]
Dear list, In 1827, in Penninghame Parish Wigtownshire, Charles HUGHES married Mary McCAY or MACKIE. They moved around the local area for a while, but by the time they had the 8th of their 9 children in 1846, they had settled at Challoch in the parish, and there they stayed for about a quarter of a century (based on 1851 and 1871 censuses). Then, in the 1881 census, they appeared in Restalrig Rd, South Leith, both aged 73. While some of their children now lived in Edinburgh (including Robert Murray Hughes
24. Southside, Edinburgh [1]
Hello, Listers, Presently reading an interesting book about Tollcross and surrounds in Edinburgh. It contains people's memories of it years ago and is very enjoyable. It has got me wondering if anyone knows of any books which may have been published about Edinburgh's Southside - St. Leonards, the old Dumbiedykes and the surrounding areas? Thanks and best wishes, Eileen in Hampshire
