i dont remember this page at all but it is my writting.
i am sorting these papers as I am writting this.

I  have on another page 
2nd marriage  ELIZA MCDOWALL     1846  L'POOL 20  346
WALTER  1848
ELIZA JANE    1850 L'POOL  20   459

If I get a chance over the weekend I will carry on sorting the papers and will check the reg. numbers then maybe get certs.
It is ELIZA JANE  i am interested in as she is my 3rd or 4th gt grandmother

Thankyou all for your help and being so patient with an old fool

now to other message. I am almost sure that the gap betweeb Catherine and Alfred is because for the 2 marriages

I think catherine Wharton was a Milliner

I think this is going to be harder than I thought and need to clear my brain which feels fit to burst with all I am trying to take in. Including using the laptop. Thank you all for your help, I will slowly work my way through your advice

The note I have is really just a piece of paper with his name and Gentleman written on it. I dont remember writing it. I know nothing about DAVID SCOTT except from  notes from a census  Liverpool 1861. That is where I first found him whilst I was looking for his daughter Eliza> It looks like he was married twice but I am still looking. I will look into the other links you gave me. I would really like to find his mothers name and about her, where he was baptised  etc. He wasn't married in Scotland as I have his 1st marriage in Liverpool

Thank you for that. I am not on that but I will sort it and look but I have tried so much today that my eyes wont stay open. I think I might be trying to do to much as once as I am working on my Simpson/Smiths in London 1870 /1890's . I think I need to give it a rest for a couple of hours and then try Scotland's People. At least I know the correct name and place to look now
once again thank you for replying  Barbara

Hello, Thank you for your replies. I had forgotten that I had registered with the group. I am sorry for the mistakes and duplicating messages from the past. The reasons for that is my computer crashed and had to get a new one. I lost all I had on it and it was only when I was going through old college papers that I found some family history stuff.
I am glad that I seem to have the spelling sorted out  as I have a couple of different ones. It would be nice to get information on David. I have nothing official so the bit that I do have is really hit and miss. from a print of the census of 1861 in Nestor Terrace, Bootle, Liverpool. the spelling on that on is correct and as long as the age is also correct he was born in 1806... I also have a note that says  born Amandale  1806, Father John Scott, Gentleman.

can you advise me where I might find any records or information to help me with my research please?
Once again I apologise for my stupid mistakes and put it down to old age and medication making me go daft

I am new to the site and am just saying Hello to all other users. I used the site a long time ago but have not done any research for a while.
 can anyone  out there give me info on where I might look for info on My gt4 or 5th grandfather  DAVID SCOTT  He was born in AMANDALE, Scotland in 1806.  His father was JOHN SCOTT who is listed as Gentleman. David was married in Liverpool in 1837 and on census  his is down as Joiner + smallware dealer.

What I would like to know is where is Amandale and where am I likely to find baptism records etc
I have some records from 1837  but would like to find out about his life before then.
Can any one through some light on this for me please. I would be glad of any help.  Regards,  Barb

Hello All, Thank you for your replies. I have some of the information but lost lots of stuff when my laptop crashed. I will be sure to back up in future. Everything enclosed fits in with what  I think I remember. A Bland Smith emigrated to Australia or New Zealand  and I was told he had a sheep farm. when he died he left money to Simpson children my Nan got a share around 1946 / 47 but I am not sure how much is fact. Charlotte Smith /Simpson started a seed business and her son James William and her grand son James Edward Simpson were both seedsmen. Regards, Barbara
