Yvonne,

Thank you for this, I had no idea how to go about it. Your advice is most
valuable not only for me but for anyone else one the list who is faced with
the same challenge.

Regards
Isabelle

Isabelle - it's not impossible to look at Sasine records in Australia.

At your nearest LDS library, by sending for them, you can first look at the
index on film, then the Abridgement of Sasine itself,.

Index to persons:
Stirling V1-4 1781-1845 #217071
Stirling V5-9 1846-1868 #217072

Abridgement:
Stirling V1-6 1781-1855 #217137
Stirling V7-9 1856-1868 #217138

The Index to persons is a list of ALL persons mentioned within the Sasine &
gives you the reference # of the Sasine.
With the reference # you can go straight to the Abridgement.
I would strongly advise that you look at the index to persons FIRST.

The Abridgement gives you a complete summery of what is in the Sasine -
then, if you wish, you can sent to Scotland for the full document. I did
this as mine was a Will that was incorporated within the Sasine.

Cheers,
Bonnie B.

I wonder if anyone has access to the Register of Sassines for Stirling and
would be prepared to do a lookup. My family history seems to been tied up
with 2 properties both in the hands of John Aitken until his death in 1842.
I know their fate after John but the question is who had them before him?

Glenrigg farm in Falkirk where he died 1842 and
Bellsrigg farm in Polmont where he was for the 1841 census

John was born abt 1776 possibly Slamannan so any changes of hands before
about 1796 could give me confirmation back at least another generation.

I am not sure where these are located but I think the library might have
them. As I live in Australia, this is impossible for me.

I hope someone can help.

Regards
Isabelle
