Hi, trying to return to my Elder tree ,
I have Charles Elder born Resolis, 14/ 3/ 1828,   Father John Elder, Mother Mary Paterson,   
John is a MEALER at Agnes Hill, 
Looking mealer up tells me , a mealer is " a person rooming at one place and boarding at another" , is there another definition?.     
When John married Mary Paterson  he was said to be a servant at Calmaduthy, Mary was of Resolis.   My question is, was he from another area? or was mealer a description for some one in  farming ? . Keep safe nikitah.                                                                                             

 Hi, I have found a possible death for someone at Ulverston in 1921, is there any way I can check if it's the person I'm looking for other than sending for the certificate?. Than you , Nikitah.

Trying to do the Moodie family for a relative, my relative was told many years ago by someone in Australia who had done the family tree, that they where related to Captain  George Moodie , of the Cutty sark I have done an extensive tree for her and can't find a connection, please can anyone help, I have got back with evidence from Scotlandspeople to David Moodie who married Catharine Ritchie at Kinnoull  Perth in 1805 this family do eventually end up in Dysart through their grandson David Moodie who was born 1851 at Dunnichen Forfar Angus,  their descendants now live in Fife David's parents where William Ritchie Moodie and Margaret Shepherd, who married at Perth 1840, William being the son of David Richie and Catharine Ritchie, any help will be most appreciated many thanks, Nikitah.   

 Hi, more brick walls, my 5 times great grandmother Barbara/ Barbary Young married Alexander Stewart, no registration found, the only clues I have are through their children ,Barbara Barbary's death certificate and the census I can find no birth for her but on the  census she says born Newlands, in 1851 she is 62 and 1841 50 at her death in 1867 she is 80 she died at Lasswade her son Alexander  was present, widow of Alexander molecatcher, daughter of James Young, Factor, and Janet Sanderson, I have found some children for this couple, William  December 1769 West Linton and possibly baptised at Dolphinton January1770,James 1772 West Linton, and another William 1774, West Linton, from S P, so No birth for Barbara and no marriage for either Barbara and Alexander or Barbara's parents James Young  and Janet  Sanderson and possibly more births missing. Barbara Young and Alexander Stewart had  3 children at Newlands, Alexander 1813, Janet 1811 and Jean 1816, their other children born Penicuik Barbara 1818,James 1820 and David Muir 1823, so it looks like they followed the naming pattern. Can anyone help me get any further back on this line? any help will be very welcome and much appreciated. many thanks Nikitah.
