Daniel Gibson and Ann Gilmour were listed as getting married.  One of the listings said his parish "Falkirk" Her parish "Govan"  Does this mean that he was born in Falkirk and she was born in Govan?  How do we know for sure that their parents did not move to another parish?  Please help me to understand these parish remarks.  I can see if they were in that parish, but that doesn't always mean that they were born in those parishes does it?

I am in USA Montana.  I don't have the money to hire a researcher, but I would understand if no one wants to do it for nothing.
Here is my request if someone is going there anyway and would not mind, to search for a record for me.    I got this message from Fife Archive Central  regarding this request.  Margaret Gibson died in the Fife District Asylum.  She was born 1836  Sometime during 1891 or after she went to the Asylum and died there Sept 25, 1917.    What I am looking for is the reason she was there.  If any information is in there regarding the name Whitehead, or Marshall, Gibson or Gilmour relatives.  Her mothers name was Margaret Whitehead, Father Robert Marshall of Leslie Fife.  There is another record there at the Archives regarding Margaret's Father Robert Marshall ref number his is a draft index to Summary Trials minute book, 16 October 1834-1839 (our ref QS/1/5/1)  From being accused of trying to act as an Auctioneer.  I really need his Month and day of Birth.  He was born 1806 or 1807 I have done everything I can think of to trace his family, to no avail.  He was very poor and probably did not have a burial marker.  But he died in 1851 pathhead.  I am hoping this record at least has a date of birth, which is probably not likely, but worth a try.   I would gladly pay any copy fee's if you can help me.    Here is what the office of the Fife Archive office said regarding my 4th great grandma:

Yes we have patient records for the Fife and Kinross District Asylum. You can see a list at www.fifedirect.org.uk In the home page search for archive catalogue.
 
(Please note that you cannot access the records themselves online).
 
Her case notes should be in a volume described as 'Case notes for female patients who died between 1916 and 31 December 1926, with Post Mortem reports'.(our ref H/STR/5/2/1).
 
She should also appear in other records like the general register, the register of deaths at the hospital, and there is usually an order authorising a patient's admission to the hospital.
 
As her records are more than 75 years old they are on open access. If you are planning a trip to Scotland you can make an appointment to visit the Archive Centre.
 
Thank you.

Looking for any Cathcart desendents from Renfrew.  I am not sure where Caldwells were from but the name I am looking for is Charlotte Caldwell parents unknown.  She married Walter Cathcart in 1800 and had a whole lot of kids.   I believe that Walters mothers maiden name was Baird

Anyone have anything for Caldwell's in Scotland?  Renfrewshire?  I am stuck.  I have a Charlotte Caldwell who married Walter Cathcart in  Abbey Renfrew in 1800.  I cannot find anything for her other than a whole list of children born to her and Walter.  From what I can gather there seems to be a link of extreme importance to her in the names of Alexander and Jean (jane) She followed the Scotish tradition for names.  She continued to name children Alexander & Jean, if one died bearing that name.  Her parents may or may not have been Alexander &  Jean however.    Charlotte died between 1824 and 1831.   None of her children  were born  bearing the name "Charlotte"  I can trace no family names of Alexander & Jean to Walter. I maybe putting to much in the names Alexander & Jean, but she seemed to be drawn to those names.
