Lanarkshire / Coal Mines in Calton
« on: Monday 08 May 06 13:54 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking at the 1851 census for Calton (address 146 Old Dalmk (Dalmarnock?) Road). Most of the professions here are Coal Miners. Does anybody know what mines were close by and if any records would have been held.

Sligo / Mary Brett - Birth c1841
« on: Thursday 13 April 06 13:55 BST (UK)  »
Would like to know more about Mary Brett. The earliest information i have about her, is when she married John Lynn in Paisley, Scotland in 1870.

My dad says that this marriage to John Lynn (a catholic) meant that Mary had to give up any chance of inheriting the Dunowla estate from her father Major Henry Brett.

Confusion reigns when looking at her parents in her marriage / death certificates.
Marriage - Father Peter Brett  Mother Margaret Flynn
Death      - Father Henry Brett Mother Bridget Flynn

Any info would be most welcome.
