Lanarkshire / Re: 1850 Street Maps Bridgeton etc
« on: Saturday 15 July 23 15:35 BST (UK)  »
Yes I’ve tried every combination Jane, Janet, Jonet, Jean, Jess*, etc.  I am currently pursuing McAllisters in Barony hoping they are related somehow.  I have been searching Robert Scott’s that are  unmarried as the Petition does not state marital status.  Is it possible he was married and that fact not recorded?

Good Morning Alan,

I could not find a Jessie in 1851 Census.  Checked adjoining homes in case she was with a neighbour.  No poor law applications.  This entire family is missing from 1861 Census.  Except there is a Jessie Scott in Renfrew with grandparents Anthony and Jane Reid.  It was Janes 2nd marriage.  She was the widow of Peter Scott ms O’Neill or Neil.  I could not find a Robert born to Peter and Jean.  I have chased this to no end but still have them as a hypothesis in my tree.  In 1841 the Burks lived at 60 Charley Close Bridgeton, In 1851 at 220 Main St Calton, Glasgow and in 1871 Margaret was with Jessie and Alexander McDonald at 17 Thistle Street, Govan.  Her mother and brother Peter were at 181 Main Street, Calton.  I think the surname must be badly mangled in 1861.

Yes I used the street address finder in FindMyPast and I did notice it can return different results when I repeat the same search.  I do prefer FreeCen transcriptions and the fact I can scroll through the families living on both sides.

Thank you all for the maps.  I love the detail with the factories, churches, etc. I definitely need to learn more about finding and using maps.  I can see it was an easy walk from Old Dalmarnock to Main St.  Still fiddling with East Rose.  I have been reviewing the 1841, 51 and 61 Census on FindMyPast, Ancestry and FreeCen and then will buy originals on SP.  in 1841 East Rose is Lanark and in 51 and 61 St John Bridgeton.  I did come across some 4s but no familiar names.  I have found two James McAllisters possibly father and son who married wife with ms Scott.  Coincidence maybe?  I’m possibly going down a few rabbit holes.  I am going to compare the 8 Robert Scott on all census providers and check occupations.  If none are nailers what would be similar?  He was an unredeemed pledge dealer on his daughter Jessie’s marriage 1870 and her death in 1931.  I’m open to suggestion on where else to look.

Good Morning Alan,

Thanks for finding these.  I have to be out for most of today but will have a good look when I’m home.

Thx.  I would have to piece together the surrounding maps to find the other two streets and have no idea of direction.  Need to sleep on it.  Good night from Canada.

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

World War Two / Re: Naval Records Question
« on: Saturday 22 October 22 17:27 BST (UK)  »
Thanks Andy and Hugh.  After Naval Party 1529 the record says Duty Fanshore then Naval Party 1741 from Oct 4, 1945 until 2 Feb 1946  There was no explanation for 1741 included but a Google search indicates Royal Caroline, Lubeck, Royal Naval Officer in charge?  Where would I look for more information on this?  My searches are turning up WW1 and earlier.  I am trying to write a short biography of my Dads life to attach to his profile.  He never talked about his time in the Navy and I regret not having asked when I had the opportunity.

Hello again, I have a group photo taken at Havant 1944 showing my Dad with a mix of US and UK regiments.  Would this have been when Naval Party 1529 was formed?  The records say “Formed at Chatham embarking in LSE2 in May 1944.  The Party operated from the Normandy Coast between 6 Jun 1944 and Oct 1944 then was based at Boulogne until mid Apr 1945…During this period my Dad seemed to be on HMS Odyssey for a week or two at a time.  He was acting stoker first class.  Why would this happen?  Thanks again!
