Hello Norrie,

Hello Norrie,

It's Tom Adamson, his wife Elizabeth (Betty) and their daughter Linda that I am looking for.  Betty died 2013 with her funeral being at the Crem.  Linda died around 1998.  The Tom that you list aged 63 in 1971 could be the man but it gives a date of birth five years earlier than the date I have of 1913.  Perhaps it's the wrong man but thanks ever so much for looking.

Kind regards,, Jack

Hi Jack  no its not your one, the inscription reads
3297.   ILMO Thomas Adamson d. 8.1.1971 aged 63y beloved husband of Margaret Alexander d. 5.2.1991 aged 84y

Hello Norrie,

Thanks for that - you're probably right about the cremations.  Keep up the good work.

Hello Norrie,

Can I bother you again, please?  I'm looking for any Blyth stones that may be in the Sinclairtown Feuar's Burial Ground.  I've come across a photograph which shows a couple of them in a damaged condition there, those of John Blyth and his father.  If you have managed to photograph/transcribe them I would be most grateful for the details.  Hope you are keeping well.

Kind regards,  Jack

Hello Norrie,

The family I am trying to trace backward starts with John Waldegrave Blyth (1873-1962) who was married to Alice May Lowe (no dates).  His father was John Blyth (b.1843) who was married to Sarah Welby Waldegrave (b.1852). I thought that his father was Andrew Blyth (b.1817) who was married to Janet Gray (b.1821).  However, the late Duncan Glen suggested that it was John Blyth "manufacturer of St Clairton" who died 1853, aged 42 years.  This is the point I am trying to resolve. One generation further back I had Andrew's father as John Blyth (b.1793) who was married to Janet Millar (no dates). 

Duncan Glen described the memorial as a sturdy square block topped by an urn with his father's headstone lying fallen over on the grass. I am sorry but I don't have the dates of death for most of these.

Sorry to be so vague but any Blyth information you can give me will, I'm sure, be very helpful.  I've got a copy of the pre-1855 deaths CD but that does not cover the period in question.

Kind regards, Jack

Hi Norrie,
I hope you can help me. I'm lookin for Margaret Bell 1951 & David Bell 1971. There's a slim possibility that they may have been known as 'Waldie Bell'.

Thank you.
