Stirlingshire / emmigration
« on: Tuesday 03 January 23 12:08 GMT (UK)  »
was there any official emmigration to South Africa from stirlingshire in the 1870,s?
I am trying to trace Thomas Reid b. 1860 in Torpichan. He shows up on 1861 and 1871 census and then disappears. He married Amy Harrison in South Africa in April 1888 and I have him from then.
 thanks ................bigjon

Derbyshire / illegitimate birth in Wirksworth
« on: Friday 25 September 20 07:52 BST (UK)  »
hi,
    is there any reason why a Scottish girl would come all the way from Scotland to have a baby in Wirksworth in 1965?
    The baby was then adopted and the mother presumably returned to Scotland.

                                                                                     thanks...........bigjon

London and Middlesex / What was this place
« on: Monday 20 July 20 20:43 BST (UK)  »
    I think I have found my gt grandmother in 1871 census at 157-159 Marylebone Road, St Marys , London. She was born illegitimately in the local workhouse and is here with her mother.
    There are several more single females.
    Was this a home for unwed mothers?
