Lanarkshire / Lookup please, William Douglas b abt 1799 Lanark
« on: Monday 28 June 10 14:32 BST (UK)  »
Hello

I wondered if anyone is able to help me with this look up.  I am having problems locating the right William Douglas!

The information I have is that he was born abt 1799 in Lanark.  He died in London, England in 1861.  According to the England Census returns he was a Stonemason.

His father was also called William Douglas and was recorded as a Mariner on his son's marriage certificate dated 1 March 1841.  William (junior) was married to Susan Gantlett.

Any help would be appreciated.  This is the only surname I have not been able to research as yet, and this is my only Scottish ancestor.

Many thanks
Victoria

Berwickshire / Birth look up please... David Polworth
« on: Monday 29 September 08 22:30 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I am looking for any info on David Polworth  who was born abt 1828 in Berwickshire, Scotland.  He was married to Jannet (not sure of maiden name) and they had one son born in Scotland in 1856 - James.

I have also found 3 children on the 1881 census who were all born in Woodford, Essex.  The children were Alice b 1856, George b 1865 and James 1867.

Any help would be appreciated please!
Many thanks

Lanarkshire / DOUGLAS family, Glasgow area
« on: Sunday 13 February 05 13:16 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
I am looking for information and connections to the Douglas family from the Glasgow area.

The only info I have is:

William Douglas born 1 Mar 1799, Glasgow, Lanark - parents Peter Douglas/Agnes Frazer
William married Susan Gauntlett in London in abt 1841.

I would appreciate any census lookups for this family in the Scottish Census returns for pre 1841.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Victoria

UPDATED INFORMATION AUG 2010:

Since posting my original message, I have discovered that William's father is actually William Douglas who was a mariner in 1841.  I believe his mother may have been called Margaret but I have found William and Margarets in the Scottish Census so am unsure whether the correct one is either McNab or Thomson?  Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks  Victoria

Hi, I have just joined rootschat and thought I would post my surname interests from Hampshire.

I am researching the surnames:

Skates
Stenning

I have found some info on the census returns for 1871,1881, 1891 and 1901 but have limited info from earlier returns.

I would love to hear from anyone researching these names.
Regards
Victoria
