East Lothian (Haddingtonshire) / Re: Sir James Sutter's Troop of East Lothian Cavalry 1796
« on: Tuesday 30 April 24 18:37 BST (UK)  »
Thank you both for the help, those links are very helpful and will keep me busy for a while.
Im not sure which Cavalry, Fencibles or Yeomanry, he was a Private in as the marriage record only states " Sir James Sutters Troop of East Lothian Cavalry".

But as it is pre-1797 then I am assuming it will be Fencibles.

Thanks again

East Lothian (Haddingtonshire) / Sir James Sutter's Troop of East Lothian Cavalry 1796

Has anyone heard of this Troop?
I am struggling to find information about this troop as it seems the East Lothian Yeomanry wasn't created until 1797 but I have a marriage record of 1796 in which John Stewart is recorded as a Private in the Sir James Sutter's Troop of East Lothian Cavalry.
He and Agnes Summers married on the 1st of April 1796 in Forfar. SP (Extract of Old Parochial Register 75720)

Inverness / Re: tomnahurich cemetery

Hi there

I live in Inverness and have been trying for many years to find a plot plan for Tomnahurich to no avail.
Highland Council do not have a plan available on their website and i have contacted them about it. What are the details you have?

Ireland / Convent records in Ireland
« on: Thursday 18 August 22 22:19 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for records relating to someone born in a convent in Ireland probably between 1920 and 1930. The information I have is limited I'm afraid, I don't know where in Ireland but they were not taken away from their mother so I wondered if the convent was more of a hospital rather than somewhere unwed mothers went then had their babies taken away.
I realise this is vague but I just need pointed in the general direction.

They were 37 and 34 and their daughter Margaret was 3. They had a son but his record is blanked out on the 1939 Register. The first thing I did was check the 1921 Census but the name doesn't come up, on either spelling.
I've found a possible maiden name for Elizabeth on her daughters (possible) birth record. Meaker. I've nothing to verify it but the date and place match.
