I am again returning to researching my brick wall. Scotlands People kindly had a look and found the Petition filed by Margaret Burk in support of a Paternity Order against Robert Scott. The child Jessie was born in 1849 but Petition was not brought until 1853 and they originally checked only 1849. The additional information is Margaret Burk and Robert Scott had known each other for several years and in 1848 met in the evenings at the home of James McAllister Old Dalmarnock Road, Bridgeton where they became intimate. According to Margaret she was courted with a view to marriage. Ha Ha. Robert would then walk her home to her mothers house at 200 Main Street, Bridgeton. Interesting description of what took place, where (the Close), when and how often. Robert admitted he was the father and paid some insignificant amounts before the Order was granted. The Sheriffs officer in Glasgow Adam Dickson (and his brother James Dickson as witness) did not personally find Robert Scott at number 4 East Rose Street Glasgow but gave the documents to a servant at the address. I cannot seem to manipulate the mapping on NLS or FindMyPast to triangilate these addresses and would appreciate some assistance. I have found a couple of McAllister, McAalster on the 1841 and 1851 Census on Dalmarnock and am looking for connections. Is it possible to print a street map with Dalmarnock, Main and East Rose and secondly, the history of 4 East Rose Street as I do not see any Scotts or familar names on the Census. Maybe a map would help narrow the number of Robert Scotts in the general area. I am guessing 20-30 years old. Thank you for reading! Anna
