Perthshire / Re: 1841 census lookup please PATON
« on: Wednesday 05 June 24 01:18 BST (UK)  »
Hi Bruce,

There's no record here of me saying thank you.  What an oversight on my part!  Apologies, and many thanks.

All of your information was very helpful.  Assorted cousins.

Cheers!

Thanks RJ!

Appreciate the info.  My Patons are allegedly originally from Ireland as well.  I've also got Somervilles who were supposedly chased out of the UK into Ireland by Cromwell, and some that were 'cleared' from Scotland into Ireland, and then back again.

Happy hunting!

Thanks, Forfarian for that link.

The reason I was back in the IGIs was I still have far too many gaps in ScotlandsPeople for my people.  I was hoping that between High Wallis's original site and the archer software site I would be able to reconstruct some gaps.

The Dow Paterson marriage is just one example. 

I always assume that more docs are being transcribed all the time, so I come back every 6 months or so, but rarely find what I need.

I've largely been able to winkle out what I need from the English and the Irish, but the Scots are not giving up their secrets easily.

Thanks again!

Is there any way of finding out whether the records are missing/lost or never existed in the first place?

RJ - Since you're a Paton - you wouldn't happen to have the marriage of James Dow (1774 - 1837) and Jean Paterson 1774 - 1841), would you? It should have been abt 1802.  Their children were born in Auchtergaven.  Their daughter Amelia (Emily) married William Paton in Auchtergaven, 13 Mar 1830, Auchtergaven.  They were living in Carse Green in 1841 and then Jackstown in 1851.

James birth was reg in Auchtergaven.  Jean's dates are approximate and I have no birthplace.

I am trying to tie all of my Patons together to figure out which ones belong and which ones are interlopers, lol.

ICYMI - the Auchtergaven (Bankfoot) monumental inscriptions are online free of charge.

Cheers,

Perthshire / IGI coverage gaps
« on: Thursday 21 September 23 20:06 BST (UK)  »
Some areas do not have IGI coverage at certain times.

Example:  Auchtergaven marriage records stop in 1803 and resume in 1823, although there are baptism records covering this time.

I have also noticed similar coverage gaps in other parishes.  Before I go spending my credits on paysites, for records that may not be there either, I would like to educate myself.

Is this because no marriages were done during that period, or that records were lost, or something as simple as there was no priest or curate at that time and they had to go to another town to be married?

If they would have been married in another location, how would I find that out?

Are there other sources for these records that might not have the same gaps?

Thanks in advance!

Mmm.  Thanks for this, David.

I see that the road past Belstane,  going up to Glack and Balquharn has finally been scanned onto Google Maps street view.

It's nice to get a look at some of the buildings that would have stood when my family was there.

Have a lovely day!

Hi Balquharn!

I just saw this and am surprised there hasn't been an onslaught before now!

Are you in the house at 56.504607, -3.576997  ?

The furthest back I trace my husband's people (Paton), this is where they are, but there were more buildings then.  Then they moved to Bellstoun (Belstane).

I would be very interested in any history you have come across, and am happy to share the little I know.

Cheers,
Rupie

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: George Edwin Collier died age 5 in Gomersal
« on: Wednesday 07 June 23 06:29 BST (UK)  »
Both the Hills and the Colliers (George's maternal and paternal grandparents) had enough money to do this.  In addition, Catharine had brothers and sisters who were professionals.  I am sure that they would not have wanted to see one of their own in a pauper's grave.

George had 2 older sisters who were in the care of their paternal grandparents.

That makes more sense, Rosie.

Thank you.
