Thanks again, can you find out any death dates for any of them. James immigrated to NZ not sure what year but before 1865 as he married here in NZ. But don't know what happened to the other children in the family.

Hiya Yettigirl,
You didn't say in your post where you were looking for, presume from Audrey's posts that they arei n Lochmaben?
Do yoiu have census info?
1841 (from name index)
Lochmaben ED1: p23-24
16: High St
LYNDSAY
Agnes 30 Stocking maker's wife Y
Elizabeth 55 Y
Grace 5 Y
John 3 Y
John 55 Stocking maker Y
Katherine 1 Y
Robert 15 Y
This is the order in the index - not the census image. Y = born in Dumfriesshire.
You will find 1851 here
http://www.dumgal.gov.uk/services/depts/comres/library/census_search.asp
This link is very often unavailable outside office hours for some strange reason?
I have Lyndsay's in Annan if you ever find a connection to Lawrence Benson Lyndsay bn 1833.
.
Hope this helps,
Pam

Hi Pam
Thanks I don't have any census records for the Lindsay Family.
Seems strange there is no William the father on the census or a James as James was born 1842.
-
The presumption then is William is away working?
I've double checked and he doesn't appear on the Lochmaben or the Lochmaben Landward index.
I've also emailled Dumfries & Galloway Council to ask where the census has gone :(
Pam

Hiya Floyd11,
Your family are connected to my tree ;D
Nancy I think is Nancy Hill isn't she? http://fallon.rootschat.net/685.html
Nancy's father Francis Hill is the son of Sarah Carruthers who is the sister of my direct Helen Carruthers.
I have quite a bit on this family as there is another researcher who is related through Sarah & Helen's brother Frances.
I have more on your family in Gedcom which isn't online yet.
All the best,
Pam
;D
-
Hi!
Wow another relative.
Would be Grateful for any information you have and if you can send me a copy of your Gedcom to my email address as an attachment that would be grateful.
I have been trying to get the Lindsay side back further tha 1786 but have not had much success in proving anything.
The Lindsay, side is my direct line through Dockray.
Cheers Chris L. Patterson

I've a few updates to do but I'll post it to you early next week.
Pam
;D
-
If any of your Lindsays connect to Blairgowrie, Bendochy or Rattray in Perth, I would love to hear about them ...
Pam, I tried the new link that you gave to the Dumfries government site and that was unavailable also.
I am looking for an 1861 lookup in Dumfries for another researcher - John Henry born about 1808, possibly in Ireland and his wife Alice, born about 1822, again possibly Ireland and their children, Samuel, Elizabeth and Joseph.
Any help would be great.
thanks,
Lindsay

Is it possible to get copies of the census printouts please. Can I give my email address on here.
