Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Manchester Trade Directories - early C19th
« on: Sunday 05 January 20 15:03 GMT (UK)  »

Hello
Does anyone have access to Manchester Trade Directories from the early 1800s ?
I am looking for a watch and clockmaker Charles Booth who lived in Long Millgate until 1802 and then Oldham Street till c1809.  Any note of him between then and c1813 would be most useful.
Happy to return favour for Scottish research - i'm based in Edinburgh

regards

Antrim / Re: Belfast Cemetery Records..Milltown
« on: Thursday 12 June 14 10:18 BST (UK)  »
I've been directed towards Milltown for ancestors who lived in Falls Road in the early C20th. 
James McConville died on 8th August 1905 and his wife Mary McConville nee McAtamney on 19th December 1910.  I would be very grateful if anyone has access to records that show them - and perhaps their daughter Elizabeth - fate unknown.  Will chase up with Milltown Cemetery - but hard to contact them.

Berwickshire / Re: Clark & Aitchison Family in Duns
« on: Thursday 31 January 13 23:22 GMT (UK)  »
Hello
I have Clark ancestors in Midlothian and think there may be a link with George Clark of Broomhill farm, Polwarth.
I suspect George may be the son of George Clark (1757-1831) of Pathhead, Crichton parish and his wife Christian Sprott.  There is a gap of 4 years between his sons Adam (b1789 in Edinburgh) and Henry (b.1793 Crichton) which may be when George was born?  I cant find a record.   
George's grandson William Langlands (1817-89) emigrated to New Zealand and formed a Builders partnership with Henry Clark (b1821), son of George Clark and Helen Aitchison - dosbanded in 1859.   
May be a coincidence but Henry was a carpenter, the profession of George Clark and his sons ?

Regards

Selkirkshire / Re: BRUNTON..Stow Selkirk
« on: Monday 11 July 11 22:33 BST (UK)  »
Hello
I have been doing some research on the Bruntons.  Margaret Brunton died in 1855 leaving three illegitimate daughters.  The eldest of these daughters was Janet Dodds, born c1850 in Stow.
She had an illegitimate son William Johnstone Dodds (1867-1942).  William dropped the Dodds and married Mary Horsburgh in 1891.  They adopted Ruth Elizabeth Brown (1893-1984).  Ruth was the daughter of Andrew Robb and Margaret Brown Brunton, a cousin of William.  She took the surname Johnstone, married John Capell in 1919 and emigrated to Canada.
William Brunton died in 1853 and Janet Notman in 1847.  They had at least three surviving dtrs Janet, Margaret and Elizabeth and a son William.

Regards

Steven
