Scotland / Re: When someone appears in a record on one website but not another
« on: Saturday 14 November 20 15:50 GMT (UK)  »
I did some more digging and what I found may help someone.

As Dundee correctly noted, Ancestry's source was Scottish Indexes. When I went to Scottish Indexes, it turns out that they have yet to index Glasgow Paternity Decrees. Old Scottish make their own indexes from the original records and identified the court in my ancestor's case as Glasgow. So that is why I can't find the case on Ancestry, because their source hasn't indexed Glasgow yet.

I thought we couldn't name websites on here?

OldScottish.com has the Sherriff Court Paternity Decrees and has Margaret De Burg or Nolan as the Mother and George Beveridge as the Defender.

Ancestry also has the Sheriff Court Paternity Decrees Index, but I can't find Margaret or George.

Hello,

I recently found the Sheriff Court Paternity Decrees on a website and found my ancestor.

I saw another, much more well known, ancestry website had the same record and I decided to see if I could get the full record there, but I can't find the same person in their database no matter how I search.

Why would that be? Any ideas?

Thank you.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Street Name on Death Certificate
« on: Saturday 28 March 20 21:18 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you. I didn't think anyone could read my attachment and asked a moderator to delete it so I could try again.

I had guessed Russford but couldn't find one with that name.

Rumford makes sense as in the 1881 census she lived about a mile away from Rumford.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Street Name on Death Certificate
« on: Saturday 28 March 20 20:51 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

I have been trying to decipher the street name on the attached death certificate from Glasgow in 1886. I have looked up the ideas I came up with in street indexes from the time but didn't find any matches.

Can anyone help? It looks like 135 ???? Street.

Thank you!

Thanks DoireM,

What role did the post office play? Did they take bookings/payment?

Hello,

Can anyone please tell me what the P.O. 4/64 means in the entry below? I get that the ship was Minnehaha but I don't think the sail took from 4/64-7/64. It was usually 3 weeks or so.

" McKinley Jane, Cashill, Carndonagh, P.O. 4/64. Minnehaha. 7/64.

Thank you.
