Stirlingshire / 1851 Lookup Request: Larbert, STI
« on: Tuesday 03 June 08 05:53 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

Would one of you very generous RootsChat souls kindly search for the family of Charles & Barbara MARSHALL in the 1851 Census of Larbert, STI?  I'm unsure how many children they had by then (probably no more than two), but I'm reasonably certain one of them would be Anne Dewar MARSHALL, who was born at Kinnaird in the latter part of 1850.

Much obliged!

Renfrewshire / Re: 1851 Census Lookup Request

Whoops.  My request is for a lookup in the 1851 Census.  The household description was for the family's entry in the 1841 Census.

Thanks!

Renfrewshire / 1851 Census Lookup Request
« on: Sunday 11 May 08 20:05 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

John & Susan LOWRIE (or Lawrie or Laurie) resided at Williamsburgh, Abbey (Paisley) during the 1851 Census of Renfrewshire.  Present in the household were children Elizabeth, John, Helen and Susan.  If the family was still in RFW by 1851, children Peter and Jean Sim might also be present.

To anyone who can help, thanks in advance for your efforts!

Antrim Completed Look up Requests / GRO-NI Marriage Records
« on: Saturday 10 June 06 00:47 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

I'm about [this] close to forking out the pounds for a marriage certificate from the GRO in Northern Ireland.  Before I do however, I would like to know what kind of information can generally be found on such certificates.

The marriage in question occurred in Belfast in 1877.  What information might I expect to find on the certificate?

Thanks in advance,

Shane

Armed Forces / 60th Rifles, circa 1815
« on: Sunday 02 April 06 23:28 BST (UK)  »
Hi there,

My 4-great grandfather was born circa 1795, was married at Auchterless, Aberdeen in 1828, and died sometime before 1856.

Aside from that, all I know is that he was a sergeant in the 60th Rifle Regiment.  I want to learn more about the military life and career of my 4g-grandfather, but efforts to research the 60th Rifles have been difficult.

Can anyone with a working knowledge of the British Army and its history point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Shane

Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Lookup Request: Death 1878 (SCT/ENG)
« on: Saturday 22 October 05 10:42 BST (UK)  »
Sorry for the vague subject line.

If it's not too ridiculous a request, I was hoping that someone with the resources could check England for the death of a Margaret Laurie who died on or about 5 November 1878 (age unknown).

Originally I thought she died in Dunscore, Dumfriesshire, Scotland, but I can't find a record anywhere so I'm no longer certain.  Besides, it seems she had assets in England.

I'm most interested in her parents names, but any & all information would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Shane

Dumfriesshire / Re: Isabella Hunter / Allan of Dunscore

Hi Swally,

Sorry for the misreading of your post.  It had more to do with dates and ages than it did with names; the generations were mixed up in the reckoning.

I suppose I meant to say that if Isabella HUNTER was aged 25 to 35 years when she married James ALLAN, then she was born between 1781 and1891. 

Since Rosie Ann Welsh HUNTER was born in circa 1888, I wouldn't at all surprised if my Rosie and your Isabella were sisters.

Please let me know if you learn anything to this effect.

Kind regards,

Shane

Hi Swally,

My 4g-grandfather Andrew Laurie built Brockhillstone in 1829, and his Laurie line continued to live there for the next hundred years.

Pertinent to your enquiry might be the family of Andrew Laurie & Rosie Ann Welsh Hunter.  They had at least six children between 1911 and 1924, and according to my notes, all were born at Brockhillstone.  Their second-eldest child was called James Hunter Laurie.

Perhaps your James Hunter is a brother of my Rosie Ann.  Whatever the case, I'd love to hear more about your family as it relates to Brockhillstone.

Cheers,

Shane
