Dunbartonshire / ShirvaDyke House Kirkintilloch
« on: Monday 16 January 23 20:12 GMT (UK)  »
Looking to find out where ShirvaDyke House in Kirkintilloch was in 1901, and if it still exists today.  I am showing my Hay family ancestors lived there at the time of 1901 census.  I am assuming it was a farm.  Any help would be appreciated.

Scotland / Scotland's People - Service Returns Death Cert.
« on: Monday 09 May 22 16:45 BST (UK)  »
Wondering what type of info I can get from a death certificate labeled Service Returns.  The person I am researching is named John Hay, and I have a date range of death, but not a positive date.  I am seeing quite a few death certificates labeled Service Returns, but I don't want to spend credits to view if I will not receive any concrete info.  These don't seem to list the mother's maiden name to narrow down the search.  Will there be birth date /place info listed in this document?

Dunbartonshire / Coopers Lean - Campbell Land Bonhill 1871
« on: Saturday 08 January 22 20:42 GMT (UK)  »
In the 1871 census, Helen Edmond is shown as living at Coopers Lean - Campbell Land Bonhill.  She appears to have lived her entire life in St. Ninians/Balfron area.  Trying to figure out why she would have moved to Bonhill.  At this point, she was a widow aged approx 50.  All her children still lived with her.  Is there any way to determine where this address was, and also if possibly any other members of her family (MS Davie) were also living there at the time.

West Lothian (Linlithgowshire) / Mary Jane or Pollie Eaton Hay after 1891
« on: Wednesday 16 October 19 17:26 BST (UK)  »
Trying to find info on Mary Jane Hay b. 1887 in Ecclesmachan.  She appears in the 1891 census.  Parents are James and Helen Hay.  I have not been able to find any other info on her, but I did find a marriage cert for her sister Agnes in 1904 when she married Angus Russell in Govan, which was signed by Pollie Eaton Hay.  I know Pollie can be a nickname for Mary, but wondering how to determine if this is same person, and any further info about her

Lanarkshire / What happened to Donald Colquhoun
« on: Tuesday 01 May 18 19:25 BST (UK)  »
Looking for information on Donald Colquhoun born in 1826 to Angus Colquhoun and Katherine McIntyre in Cardross.  All other siblings born in Glasgow, and Donald married Mary Peden in 1852 in Glasgow, so assuming he grew up in Glasgow.  He had a daughter, Elizabeth, born in 1852 also in Glasgow.  His wife Mary died in 1853 in Glasgow, and daughter shows up in the 1861 census living with maternal grandparents.  I have found no other information on Donald.  Any additional information regarding Donald Colquhoun or his daughter, Elizabeth Colquhoun is appreciated.
