There is a good historical society in Penicuik with a wealth of material and information. The website which also has contact details is penicuikheritage.org.uk/penicuik-historical-society-2/
I'm sure they could help.

Hi Keyboard86

I was unaware that he married in Scotland believing that he had gone to London still single. I will be at the Scottish Record office next week and will obtain the details.

Thanks

Hi groom and keyboard86

Thanks for swift responses. This helps fill gaps. Death date and place would be great if that was a possibility.

Thanks

London and Middlesex / John McIntosh - Streatham Hill 1912/13 COMPLETED
« on: Saturday 10 March 18 20:47 GMT (UK)  »
John McIntosh was born John McIntosh Brown on 09 April 1870 in Fortingall, Perthshire, Scotland.
He was the illegitimate son of Janet Brown.
I have him on the Census of 1871, 1881 and 1891 living with his mother (who never married) in Fortingall with other family members. He disappears from Perthshire records after this point.
In 1912 and 1913 he appears as the informant of the deaths of two of his mothers siblings in Perthshire. At this time his address is given as 10 Salford Road, Streatham Hill, London.
I am hoping that he might be found in Census or Street directories in the London area from the period after 1891 and any details of marriage and death etc.
I do not subscribe to Anc...y. His surname has cropped up with variations including Mackintosh.
Grateful for any help.

Peeblesshire / Re: Carlops Health Spa 1890s

Hi Subito

The Ordnance Gazeteer of Scotland 1884-1885 has references to the Heaven Aqua Well, a mineral spring on the Rutherford Estate, Linton which is just outside Carlops. The owner at this time was a Mr Philip who also is mentioned as the owner again in 1901. Rutherford House which is on the estate was a coaching house for travellers from 1800 approximately. This is a possible for your ancestors visits there. Do the death certificates have any more detail than Carlops?
Rutherford House still exists as a family home and guest house and you can see the website with a google search.

East Lothian (Haddingtonshire) / Re: Whitecross family
« on: Friday 20 January 17 21:17 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Alison

I was back at Scotland's People Centre again this week so I had a look at this enquiry. I checked the OPR's for East Lothian to try to find the birth of Agnes Whitecross or the marriage of her parents but unfortunately nothing found. I extended the search to the whole of Scotland but again no luck. I tried for other children born to the same parents but nothing there either in East Lothian or elsewhere. I also had a look for the marriage of Agnes to Thomas Hepburn c1808 at Whitekirk but yet again nothing despite trying name variations etc.
It was apparent that the Whitecross surname and variants were most definitely focused on East Lothian and Aberdeenshire.
Sorry but another missing piece of your jigsaw.

Peeblesshire / Re: Inglis/Hastie/Wilson familes in Manor, Peebles

Hi Alison

Browsing again and noted the further replies to your post. It got me looking to see if I could find Jeanfield in the Parish of Newlands. I managed to find it on an old map as per this link:
http://maps.nls.uk/atlas/thomson/457.html. If you enlarge the map you will see in block letters the word NEWLANDS with Parish a bit below. Look slightly to the left of the word Newlands and you will see Jeanfield. This will give you a better idea of the geography at the time.

Hi, I had a spare minute or two when I was at Scotland's Peoples Centre in Edinburgh this week so had a look at your enquiry. I was unable to find a birth entry for William Inglis on or around 1804.
I did find an index entry for the marriage of John Inglis to Margaret Hasty on 09 June 1799 at West Linton but unfortunately the page on which it is recorded is so feint and faded that it is not possible to pick out any other details. The OPR ref is 773/0040.
There were no other entries bearing similar names around this time so it is a possible.
