Stirlingshire / Where did my nan get her name "Silcock" and her sister "Flood"
« on: Tuesday 30 July 13 07:16 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone

My nan is from Falkirk and ancestors mostly from Stirlingshire.  She and her mother have the middle name "Silcock" and my great-grandmother's sister has the middle name "Flood."

Annie Silcock Lonie (nee Nicol) born: 22 March 1889
parents: James Nicol born abt 1856, Agnes Davie born 25 March 1855
sister: Agnes Flood Nicol
daughter: Annie Silcock Lonie born: 20 August 1920

While I have found records of Floods and Silcocks in neighbouring areas, I haven't yet found any linkage as I know most people received middle names of relatives.

Would anyone be able to recommend how I might start searching for this information as I'm quite new to family research.

Or do you know of the Silcocks and Floods and how my grandmother might be related?!

Thank you

Australia / SS Vedic - passenger lists 1927?
« on: Monday 22 July 13 12:44 BST (UK)  »
My grandmother immigrated to Australia I believe in 1927 with her parents and older sister from Falkirk, Scotland on the SS Vedic.  I'm not super-sleuth enough to find passenger lists listing them and would love to find records.

Thomas Lonie DOB 1 August 1891
Annie Silcock Lonie DOB 22 March 1889
Elizabeth Campbell Lonie DOB 20 October 1918
Annie Silcock Nicol Lonie DOB 20 August 1920

I have tried ancestorsonboard.com which I read about on this site... but I can't seem to access the search panel. 

Can anyone please let me know how I might be able to access these records?!

Thank you so much.

Stirlingshire / Locating lairs in Camelon Cemetery
« on: Monday 22 July 13 11:33 BST (UK)  »
Hi there

A request of any of those who have photographed/searched Camelon Cemetery.

I recently located the lairs of my great-aunts and my great-great aunts and uncle.  I am visiting Scotland next year and would love to visit their final resting places.

I understand that they might not have headstones, or indeed their lairs may have been reused (?). Could anyone possibly tell me how I might find their burial plots?  Is anyone able to give me any information before I get there? 

Minnie, James and Marion Lonie died within 18 days of each other aged 1.5 to 3yrs in March/April  1900.  Their lair is N.197.

Agnes Lonie died March 1917 and Margaret Lonie died November 1925.  They were buried in lair XI.67 both aged 1yr 5mths.

Any information would be most appreciated.  I'm a bit eager to find out anything I can before I visit next year.

Thank you!

London and Middlesex / Great-nan was an orphan - STUCK!!
« on: Friday 19 July 13 10:14 BST (UK)  »
Hi there

This is my first time on this site and I'm excited people with more skills in family research might be able to help me.

I've been really enjoying researching my ancestors... despite the cost once I got addicted to purchasing certificates to verify information and have some keepsakes for people long-forgotten.

I am really stuck at my maternal great-grandmother.  She always said she was an orphan and didn't know anything about her family.  I'd love to find out more.  I can't find her in any census information which might tell me if she was in an orphanage.

I have found and ordered her marriage certificate from the UK and hope this will give me her parents names, but I'm not sure she even knew this to document it, and I am worried when it arrives it will say "unknown."

Jessie Elizabeth Anderson
Born 13 August 1894 in England (no idea where)
Married June 1917 in Wandsworth, UK to Albert Kiddle
Immigrated to Australia in 1927
Died in Ryde, NSW, Australia 30 September 1976
Children:
Albert Kiddle 25 December 1918
Betty Elsa Jessie Kiddle 1931 in NSW, Australia (?)

Any ideas where I might look to find information?  This brick wall is really annoying me!!

Thank you!!
