Stirlingshire / Old/new town - Kilsyth
« on: Thursday 29 December 11 12:59 GMT (UK)  »
Merry Xmas to everyone

I have been going over some documents I have relating to my Robertson/Hamilton families in Kilsyth to see if I can move it forward a bit and note that on some of the OPRs they are listed as being from either old town or new town Kilsyth, can anyone advise if this the same place. 

Thanks

Armed Forces / George Easton 42nd Reg around 1831
« on: Monday 14 September 09 14:18 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction please.  I have come across my GG Grandfather William Easton's death cert - who died in Glasgow 1877 aged 53.  The cert gives his father as George Easton who was a sergeant in the 42nd Foot.  I have no other details on my George.  Since locating William's death cert I have found a poor law application for William and on it is says that William was born in Jersey in "barracks" and that his father was a sergeant.  Is there anyway that I can find out more information on George?  I have tried to locate George and his wife Hannah Welford/Helford/Hilford on the 1841 census but have come up blank for Scotland and Channel Islands.  I have also looked at the NA site in the military section but just get absolutely lost.  Can anyone advise where I should look next. 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks, Talia.
