It is a pity, Would have been back to Adam and Eve in the tree by now if it had been there and a few more quid in my pocket!

Those 1855 records are good, Any idea as to the reason they stopped putting as much detail in them in later years?

« on: Wednesday 10 April 24 20:41 BST (UK) »One way of trying to find Alexander Arnott’s death (or at least to narrow it down) is to look at the marriage records of his children,He's dead in 1855, However what it does give me though is information that the Arnott/Arnolds come from Downpatrick
We know when his son David Arnott married in 1870, his father was deceased.
His son John Arnott; married Margaret McGregor in 1864 Blythswood. What does the record give about his father?
His youngest son Alexander married in 1855 – Does this marriage record say his father was alive or dead?
We know he was alive in the 1851 census.
He's dead in 1855, However what it does give me though is information that the Arnott/Arnolds come from Downpatrick
And that John is on his second wife in 1864 and living in High St as a water carrier as his occupation
Here is some information about his youngest son: -
Alexander Arnott (junior) married Catherine Austin in 1855 Calton Glasgow
Children:-

Not sure if worth the effort at the moment until I can investigate the relationship of sara to John McAllister, if shes a full cousin, then it's worth the checking if I can't find any info on Francis McAllister

Forfarian,
Thanks for that, I'm aware of the 1871 census got to love AI translations, John is actually a slipper maker,
Not sure if the cousin is on the side of John or Elizabeth or isn't a natural cousin and related to James Law

Did find A younger Prue's obit in Boston,
Neale,
Have you any better luck looking for Francis McAllister or Margaret Lithgow? The Regt assocation has no records of him and I've tried other sites but no joy.

Neale,
Fantastic, I wondered how I had a lot of DNA matches in that area of North America, this explains it!
I've filtered down some of the years previously and drawn a blank, I have a similar issue with another ancestor, The only thing I can think of is that they have died elsewhere in the UK possibly back home in Ireland

Aye she's buried in the Southern Necropolis, Pretty sure in the past I found a lair doc and it had been paid for by David Arnot,
Egg dealer is a new one on me, Not the strangest occupation in the family tree, That one's a hole borer, So not sure if a posh name for a tunnelling/trench cutting labourer or to do with drilling holes in metal/forming holes in metal tubes?
