Scotland / Register of Births - Reference Number
« on: Saturday 06 February 21 00:11 GMT (UK)  »
This record on Scotlandspeople.gov.uk has the reference number has the letter A between the parish number and the page number. Another researcher has this individual listed as being Adopted, which made me wonder if the A in the reference number had a specific meaning, maybe Adopted or Amended or am I reading too much into this and it's just a coincidence? 

The parish only had a population of ~300 people at the time so I don't think it's a book number, I've not come across a letter in the reference before, can you shine a light on this for me?

Surname: PEAT
Forenames: GEORGE TODD
Gender: M
Year: 1923

Northumberland / Alnwick Orphanage
« on: Friday 18 March 11 01:02 GMT (UK)  »
Does anyone have any information on the Orphanage in Alnwick, during the 1940's ?  My mother and several of her brothers and sisters were there between 1942 and 1946 however she was very young at the time and her memory is a little vague.  I want to be able to add details regarding the staff, daily life and the organisation to my family history as it is obviously quite a big part of the lives of my mother and several of her siblings.

Any information is more than I have currently.  Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi Fiona,
I have Mary Kirkaldie marrying William Halkerston on 3rd June 1826 in St.Andrews. I think Mary was born 26th July 1801 in Cupar, her parents were Alexander Kirkaldie (b. 14 Dec 1767 in Kinghorn) & Mary White (bapt. 24 April 1768 in Cupar)

Do you know this family.

Regards
Andy Stuart

Also is that a mark on her hair or is it a feather or just the style?


Hi Keith,
    I took that as being a feather I don't know if you guys agree or not.

    Mike, that is fantastic many thanks.

   Kali, I love what you have done with her dress that just looks "Right" to me.

Northumberland / Re: Berrington RC
« on: Monday 28 August 06 23:04 BST (UK)  »
there seems to be some overlap between the Berrington and Haggerston registers. The Berrington chapel remains a mystery. I know there is now a RC Church at Lowick, but I don't know if there is a connection between Berrington and Lowick.

These three "parishes" are all neighbouring, at least I can not think of one that would get in the way.  So maybe a single Priest would have served them all, certainly Berrington would not be big enough to have a priest of their own.  Unless it is just a chapel within a bigger parish which is most likely.  I hope this helps even if it is so long after your original post.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / 2 Photo's needing something
« on: Monday 28 August 06 19:39 BST (UK)  »
Hi
  Here is another 2 photo's (not so important) the first well that's obvious what's needed here, as for the second well I would like to see a face and if it can be coloured that would be a bonus.  There is no urgency over these it would be nice to get them sorted.

Many thanks in advance.

Don't worry I won't post any more this week.   ;)
