Technical Help / Re: My computer
« on: Wednesday 08 February 23 09:42 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Dorothy

Have you tried checking the cable between the computer and monitor to make sure it's connected properly, if the monitor isn't getting a signal from the computer, it will go into standby mode. If that's ok I would try holding in the power button on the computer until it switches off, wait a minute, then switch it back on and see if it boots up as normal.

Lanarkshire / Re: Reid's Land (Depot), Coatbridge

Reid's Land (Depot) is correct, it is listed in the 1881 street index for Old Monkland. You can narrow it down to the Gartsherrie area of Old Monkland with the parish detail at the top of the page.

It looks like 18th Dec 1902, but there is a word before the date that I can't make out.

It says he run, which means he deserted, so most likely to be Halifax in Nova scotia.

There was a previous thread on this family back in 2011, quite a long thread (15 pages) so it may be worth having a look at the information there.

There is a death on Scotlandspeople for a Margaret Legate Wardrope in 1953 in Stonehouse aged 32, note the different spelling of her name, sounds as if this could be her.

It's definitely Money's land, that name is on the street indexes for the 1871 census for the Keppochhill area, not sure as to what the line above is though.

Lanarkshire / Re: Mitchell of Airdrie
« on: Tuesday 29 May 18 16:32 BST (UK)  »
The National Library of Scotland website has town maps for Airdrie, on the 1846 map there is a Bridewell Lane, by 1858 it had changed to Market Street, the prison was situated between Anderson Street and Market Street, the birth may have been in a house in Bridewell Lane and not in the prison.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Merchant Navy document ?

I believe the CR stands for central register and was used between 1913 and 1940 to provide an alphabetical central indexed record of merchant seamen .
