Thank you. It does beg the question why call a grandchild 'oy'!?

I'm reading Testaments and have come across the words of his or her 'oy' or 'oyes' what do they mean?

Oh how I wish I had your expertise MonicaL. You appear to have information at your fingertips.
This information sounds very very promising. I'll look for May Stewart on the Stuarts of Torrance family tree  and research Adam Stuart through details in his will and testimony. Thank you Carole W,
Neale 1961 and MonicaL.  Gray 865

Carole, I have no connection to Adam Stuart. I'm researching East Kilbride Old Parish Churchyard.
info. on writer 1793, from a book of the History of East Kilbride parish and village. It was in relation to the Kirk and the monies for the Poor of the parish to be made out and delivered to Alexander Stuart of Torrance or his brother Andrew Stuart the papers were written and stamped by Chas. Menzies clerk of Adam Stuart, Writer in Edinburgh 10th April 1793. I have viewed and studied the Stuart of Torrance family tree and there is no Adam Stuart in their long line.
Neale 1961, I should have thought of this, I've now viewed this, it has numerous pages but I don't see any connection to East Kilbride.  Gray865

Lanarkshire / Kirk Session Virtual Volumes
« on: Monday 06 December 21 17:26 GMT (UK)  »
Could someone please explain what was going on here within the kirk session minutes - this is an excerpt;
The Minister having acquainted the session that he was to pay up the 200 merks of poors money in his hand and for which he granted his Bill. The Treasurer to receive the said 200 merks with the eight merks of interest due upon Whitsunday next and to look out for a good hand for the money. At the next session meeting the Treasurer had found a good hand for the 1000 merks given to him and produced a Bond and judged as sufficient security. The 'good hand' was outwith this particular church.
TIA  Gray865

Hello Chefmact. Welcome to rootschat, I see this is your 1st post.  Allan and Helen Pollock were a great uncle and aunt to me.   You could private message me but you need to have listed 3 messages.   Gray865
