Longford / Newrow,Newtonforbes
« on: Wednesday 08 February 12 10:44 GMT (UK)  »
My Gt.Gt.Grandfathers baprismal entry from Newtonforbes (RC) has no address (1848) but his sisters entry in 1843 has the address of NEWROW ,  Parish/District of Newtonforbes.

I suspect, after much trawling on the internet ,where this may possibly be, but  would appreciate any thoughts from locals or anyone else  ;D  .     

The family left Ireland abt 1851 for Scotland , so no GV for parents.

Armed Forces / 98th Reg. Of Foot- Athlone 1871 ?
« on: Friday 17 June 11 20:14 BST (UK)  »
Hi,   I wonder if anyone could confirm that the 98th Reg of Foot was in Athlone around 1871?   I think I have found my gt.gt.grandparents  church marriage extract, (but no civil entry)  but would like confirmation that his reg. was actually there at this time.  First child that I know abt. is born Jamaica 1874.

Thank you

Westmeath / 98th Reg. of Foot in Athlone 1871 ?
« on: Friday 17 June 11 14:13 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I  wonder if anyone can tell me with whether the 98th Reg.of Foot, was based in Athlone in Feb.1871?  I have found what I think is my Gt.Gt.grandparents church marriage extract (but no civil reg. found yet).  I know this regiment , later the 64th 2nd North Staffordshire reg.was later in Jamaica,India and Malta, (courtesy of census and a couple of birth certs.  If I could confirm that the reg. was in or near Athlone in 1871 I would feel happier that I have the correct marriage.

I have also left a post on the Athlone Forum.

Fingers crossed someone knows :)

Europe / Warschecha Surname
« on: Sunday 22 November 09 17:39 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help with the nationality of this surname? ''Warschecha'' I suspect it is Polish, but can't find confirmation at the moment.

Erwin Warschecha married in Glasgow in 1941, and died in Glasgow 1959.  He married into one of my family lines.

Scotland / S.P. contact form
« on: Tuesday 14 July 09 12:31 BST (UK)  »
Hi, Can anyone remember if you get an automated response from S.P. acknowledging that your query will be dealt with?

I sent a form last night, or I thought I had  ::) . No automated response, so am doubting whether I sent it or not. I don't want to send a repeat form if not needed.

I have a 'Kelly' relative misindexed in Bridgeton, when the cert clearly says Kinning Park. I only downloaded the last one out of frustration, thinking maybe the mother  was visiting relatives when she gave birth.

There looks like there may be a few Kellys misindexed , so if you can't find  a Kelly in Kinning Park, etc., try Bridgeton  ::)

That last bit was a feeble attempt at a joke, but you never know  :o

For Sale / Wanted / Events / 1881 census disc No. 2 wanted
« on: Friday 26 June 09 19:16 BST (UK)  »
I recently damaged my well used 1881 census disc No.2 (Scotland Region , Lowland Counties,) and wondered if anyone had one that they never used.  The rest of my set is fine, just this one disc is needed.
I thought I would ask here, on the off chance, before buying another complete set.

I would reimburse postage etc.

Thanking you  in hope  :D
