Midlothian / Deaf & Dumb Institute
« on: Thursday 12 November 09 10:14 GMT (UK) »
Hi All,
I wonder if any one can help at all.
I have just found two female relations from Hawick Scottish Borders on the 1851 census in Edinburgh.
Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, Edinburgh St Stephen, Midlothian.
I was just wondering how this would have been paid for and a bit more about the school etc.
The girls were from a family of Ag Labourers so I don't think the parents would have had money to send these children to this school.
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you Lesley

This is very strange Just tried looking for the births of the rest of Grt Grandfathers family
Robert c 1826
Peter c1827
James c1830
John c1832
William c 1836
can only find John on IGI and it looks like he has been added by an other researcher & can't find any on Scotlands people.
Maybe it wasn't law to register the births of children in those days???

Roxburghshire / George Scott Birth Help please
« on: Friday 02 October 09 12:42 BST (UK) »
Hi All,
I can't seem to find the Birth of My 3x Grt Grandfather George Scott.
on the 1841 Census he was aged 2 Birth place Roxburghshire
on the 1851 Census he was aged 12 Birth place Hawick
He was Married in 1869 age29.
I've searched IGI, Scotlands People, Scots Origins & just can't seem to find his birth.
Am I going mad or do I just need new glasses?
Any help would be much appreciated.
