Iam trying to solve a puzzle - alfred married a betsy stinson 1846-1924 they had eight children or nine. according to the 1911 census they had eight and all were still alive. on the 1881 census he has a son 2 months old called john alfred but he doesnt appear on the 1891 census (church gresley) but another son does age 10 Garnet Jno..according to freBMD they were both born in first quarter of 1881 Garnet died around 1970 in leeds but john alfred disappeared altogether.I have the names of the rest of his children and in total that would make 9 and not eight as the 1911 census says. any help would be great

« on: Wednesday 24 August 11 15:43 BST (UK)  »

Iam trying to find any info about Netherauldhouse farm around 1908-1930. Robert Howie and his wife Annie Jane Stevenson had it until robert died 1908 and she died 1912. I have not been able to find the 1911 census for this place on Scotlands People as I do not know the name of the next farmer.The farm was situated where Fersit Street is now and on the corner of Netherauldhouse Road. Its all flats now.
Any help would be appreciated

hi Iam trying to find some information on a james halton born  c1841 from co cavan. he married a catherine cullen. the only childs name i have daniel halton born c 1876 and died 1947 in the gorbals district of glasgow. daniel married a agnes simpson mcknight on 28-1-1910 in the govan district of glasgow.any info on the Irish side of the family would be great.  daniel was my grandfather and Iam not for sure it was co cavan he came from. i just remember my mother talking about this
It could also be that catherines surname was quillan and it was wrongly spelled on her son daniels marriage and death certificate.


thanks
