Dear All,
I'm hoping some clever person can discipher this address of an informant on his father's death certificate
Kind regards

Lanarkshire / Catherine Lamont Robertson
« on: Tuesday 06 November 18 18:09 GMT (UK)  »
I have a family member born in Glasgow in 1915 called Catherine Robertson. When I obtained her birth certificate it stated her name was Catherine Lamont Robertson. Lamont seems a very strange middle name especially for a girl and it is not the maidan names of any other relatives. Could anyone tell me if this is a Scottish name.
Regards Colcal

Lanarkshire / Alexander Robertson, almost got you, with help please?
« on: Thursday 28 September 17 18:41 BST (UK)  »
I have been looking a family member called Alexander Robertson for years, but without a birth date i had no chance. A very kind Rootschatter sent me a newspaper article with a him being sentenced to a year in Dukes Street prison in 1922, but still no address or date of birth. Today i heard from Scotlands people with futher information and was informed that he was 39 at the time of sentencing, that would give him a birth year of 1883. He was a dock labourer and  was living at 7 Rose Street. I would be grateful if anyone could find him on any of census or election rolls.
Thank you to everyone and kind regards Colcal

Lanarkshire / Crown Street
« on: Wednesday 23 August 17 21:08 BST (UK)  »
I am having one more attempt to find a man called Alexander Robertson. He was living at 21 Crown Street, Glasgow in 1918. I found a man called Alexander Robertson on the valuation rolls and it stated that he was a craneman. I know he was a quay labourer so perhaps that involved using a crane. If anyone has family called Robertson that lived in Crown st or records of dock labourers, i would love to hear from you.

Lanarkshire / marriage certificates
« on: Sunday 20 July 14 08:45 BST (UK)  »
Hello ! I understand that on some certificates a cross indicates that the person was unable to sign, but on others some have "signed" in the section of the bride and groom, but it looks as though the hand writing is the same person who has written out the full certificate. Can this happen?
