Lanarkshire / Cemetary Lair
« on: Sunday 15 November 20 08:19 GMT (UK)  »
My GParents were buried in St Kintegerns in Glasgow.I find it not possible to visit the grave due to distance etc. I Sister visited the cemetary and due to time constraints was not able to find the grave.
Is there anyone in that area who offers a service of visiting graves for photos. Or is there a caretaker in the cemetary who can guide me to the grave should I ever be fortunate to visit. an
I know that many many gravestones have been removed.

Angus (Forfarshire) / Friock
« on: Thursday 05 March 20 21:15 GMT (UK)  »
Researching my Maternal tree I found my Ggmother came from Angus. She was called Elizabeth Friock born early 19th century. I have heard of the name Friockheim as being a place in the County. Is the name Friock a common surname in the area

Angus (Forfarshire) / Freig as a surname
« on: Tuesday 17 July 18 18:27 BST (UK)  »
My GGGrandmother was called Elizabeth Freig. She married John Livingstone in Kildalton, Islay in the 1800's and had a number of children. I had reason to believe she emigrated after her husband died. However ! another member of my family produced documents showing her to be living in Salford with her daughter Annie who had the married name of Goldie.
I will contine this line - however I am curious about the name 'Freig' ( spelling has variations)
My late Mother alwas told us that Elizabeth was of Danish descent. Has anyone ever come across this surname.

« on: Sunday 15 April 18 07:26 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for records of my GGGrandparents Alexander mcgonigle and Letitia Devine. Letitia is shown in the Scottish census  as being born on Tyrone in 1811. I have her death record in Scotland in 1873 on which she is shown to have died  a widow. However I cannot find any record whatsoever of her husband Alexander Mcgonigle nor can I find their marriage record. Any help would be so appreciated.

Lanarkshire / coincidence?
« on: Wednesday 11 April 18 18:23 BST (UK)  »
Researching my gggrandmother Margaret McGonigle (various spellings) I find she had a Brother called George. He Married Janet Fox - they had a Daughter Janet. George died in 1890 in Paisley.
In 1907 in Paisley in 1907 I find a Janet Fox McGinigle born to  George McGinigle and Mary McGinigle m/s Reid.
Coincidence ??

Lanarkshire / Locating Death record
« on: Sunday 25 February 18 21:13 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone give me any pointers to locating the birth/death record of a child with most details unknown. I know that my GParents Arthur Hart and his Wife Margaret ms Gillan had a child who died young. They lived in the  Partick area of Glasgow.. I do not know the sex nor date of birth. The Family is on the 1901 census and then again on  the 1911 census. The child is not on the 1901 census, however on  the 1911 census it states that 9 children were born alive and only 8 are living. A member of my Family confirms that this could be true and that the child she thought was born around 1908 - 1910  but not 100% sure.
I have tried various hits on Scotlandspeople but they returned negative results
