Lanarkshire / Re: Annie Maxwell Mclachlan

Hi Sancti,
His occupation on the 1911 census was a manager-motor engineer.
The marriage date was 22 May 1913 in Glasgow.
Sorry, on his marriage cert. in 1913 it says mechanical engineer but
maybe that could be the same as motor engineer?

Thanks

Hi Sancti,
Thanks for that.
On Annie & Roberts marriage cert in 1913 his occupation was now a
motor engineer manager which would make sense emigrating to America
at that time.
Another possibilty is they emigrated to NZ
but i don't know what records are available online.

Thanks again

Hi again,
I'm still hoping someone can help me with this albeit it's only a week since my
original post.
I've still not found a connection to Annie & Robert Scott emigrating to America.
I now think this may just be one of those family stories that was mixed up somewhere along the way
and they may not have gone to the USA or Canada at all.
I'm hopefully someone can find another link somewhere for me.
I've checked SP for deaths of them both using their birth years but can't find
anything.

Ever hopeful one of you clever folk will be able to find them for me somewhere.

Lanarkshire / Annie Maxwell Mclachlan
« on: Tuesday 10 May 11 23:25 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I'm looking for info on Annie Maxwell Mclachlan who was born in 1891 in Glasgow and
her parents were John McLachlan and Marion Bauchop.
Annie married Robert Scott in 1913 in Glasgow but i'm looking for any info on them after their
marriage.

Annie & Robert possibly emigrated to the USA but i have been unable to find them on any passenger lists etc.
Annies husband Robert was born in Spain in 1879 but i don't think they went back to live there as his father died when he was young and his mother brought the family back to live in Greenock in the 1880's.
With Robert having quite an unusual birthplace in those days i thought i would be able to find info on them but have so far been unable to do so

I know you guys out there love to solve mysteries and i'm sure you will come up trumps for me again
in my quest for elusive ancestors.

Thanks in anticipation

Hi Stephen,
I would just like to thank you for your generous offer and hope you can help.

I've just found the death cert. of one of my ancestors who died in 1856
and on her certificate it says she was buried in the UP Churchyard,
Oakshaw St. Paisley.
Is this one of the places you may already have photographs of?
Is so, her name was Margaret Smith (nee Guthrie) wife of John Smith,
died 16 Nov.1856.
Even a pic of the churchyard would be nice as I'm sure a headstone that old would
be unlikely to still be there.

Cheers,
Marie

Dorset Lookup Requests / Dorset newspaper look up request-Alexander Stevenson
« on: Thursday 21 April 11 19:35 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I wonder if anyone can do a newspaper look up request for me, or tell me if there are any online newspapers i can look at.

I'm looking for an inquest into the death of Alexander Stevenson who died on 13 November 1901
I have a copy of his death certificate and it states there was an inquest to be held on 14 November 1901.

MOD-sorry if i've posted in the wrong place.

Cheers,
Marie
