I am again returning to researching my brick wall.  Scotlands People kindly had a look and found the Petition filed by Margaret Burk in support of a Paternity Order against Robert Scott.  The child Jessie was born in 1849 but Petition was not brought until 1853 and they originally checked only 1849.  The additional information is Margaret Burk and Robert Scott had known each other for several years and in 1848 met in the evenings at the home of James McAllister Old Dalmarnock Road, Bridgeton where they became intimate.  According to Margaret she was courted with a view to marriage.  Ha Ha.  Robert would then walk her home to her mothers house at 200 Main Street, Bridgeton.  Interesting description of what took place, where (the Close), when and how often.  Robert admitted he was the father and paid some insignificant amounts before the Order was granted.   The Sheriffs officer in Glasgow Adam Dickson (and his brother James Dickson as witness) did not personally find Robert Scott at number 4 East Rose Street Glasgow but gave the documents to a servant at the address.  I cannot seem to manipulate the mapping on NLS or FindMyPast to triangilate these addresses  and would appreciate some assistance.  I have found a couple of McAllister, McAalster on the 1841 and 1851 Census on Dalmarnock and am looking for connections.  Is it possible to print a street map with Dalmarnock, Main and East Rose and secondly, the history of 4 East Rose Street as I do not see any Scotts or familar names on the Census.  Maybe a map would help narrow the number of Robert Scotts in the general area.  I am guessing 20-30 years old. Thank you for reading!  Anna

How to I find the cemetery for this burial?  The OPR says “relict of the deceased Mr Douglas.  From her house Nicholsons Street died of a Decline.  Buried the Foot of the grave close to the head of William Scott’s ground at the Centar”.  Age 71.   The date is 8 Jan 1814.  I am trying to confirm if she is the widow of George Douglas, a writer in Edinburgh. 

I am hoping you can work your magic, I so appreciate what you have done in the past.  I have very few family photos.  This my parents wedding photo taken n the Ex-Servicemens Hall in Cambuslang 15 Oct 1945.  I am mostly interested in the woman sitting in the first row far right when looking at the photo straight on.  I am assuming this is my great grandmother as she is sitting next to my paternal grandfather.  I have never seen a photo of her.  She died in February of 1950 age 71.  This photo is on cardboard stock and the photography studio is Momento Photographs 20 Dixon Street, Glasgow.  I have tried searching for them without success.

I found this torn photo recently and have put a bit of tape on the back.  I am the little blond in the front, the others are my Grandmother, mother, two aunts and cousins.  I have very few photos from these years, especially of my grandmother.  I would greatly appreciate any improvements that are possible. 

Ann Jack married John Neil 1819 and died 1862 age 85, Rutherglen, her parents on death record David Jack and Helen Morton.  The ages on Census were 50 on 1841, 62 on 1851 and 78 on 1861.  I am sure the first two Census are correct as the two youngest children are on those records and they were living very close to their other sons Robert and John.  All the children of David and Helen are indexed on SP except Ann and I did not find it on family search although my skills there are definitely lacking.  Would appreciate assistance on narrowing this birthdate,  If Ann was born in 1781 she was too old to give birth to their last child in 1829.
