Lanarkshire / Great Grandfather Niven still evading capture..
« on: Monday 16 October 06 14:34 BST (UK)  »
Hi folks

My great grandfather William Niven born between 1823-28 to parents William Niven and Isabella McIntyre is still eluding me. The information comes from William's MC and his DC. William's daughter was the informant on his DC. On the 51-61 Census' it states he was born in Lanark.
 
I have searched  for (Niven/Nivin/McNiven/MacNiven/Nevin): -

BC William Niven (1820-35)
BC William McIntyre (1820-35)
BC's of other siblings with parents William Niven & Isabella McIntyre
MC William Niven & Isabella McIntyre
DC Isabella Niven (nee McIntyre)
DC Isabella McIntyre
DC William Niven (Snr)
Every 1841 Census looking for any Niven that's a Coachman.

William Snr was a Coachman's Contractors so have checked the 1827 Business directory.  William Jnr was married in Dunoon so have also checked out the Niven's in that area . I know there was a Coachmans' hostlery/inn in Dunoon but do not know any more about it.

I realise that the wrong names could be on the DC but the naming of his children would suggest otherwise. I have also checked out William Niven/Isabella Thomson  plus William Niven/Isabella Fotheringham.

Have I exhausted all avenues or is there something else I could explore?

kind regards

Tyrone / Re: Barclay/Halligan/McCallum
« on: Monday 16 October 06 13:59 BST (UK)  »
Hi Jane

Can I say a huge big welcome to Rootschat!!  ;D

Unfortunately, I am having no luck in tracing Ann McCallum further back yet.

John and Ann came to Scotland not long after they were married. I am still trying to find any certs or documentation with Ann's parents on it. All I know is that they were married in Tyrone from one of their children's BC's.

I'm going to the records office next week to look for Ann's DC which is being a bit elusive.

Ann would be about 28 yrs older than James. If I manage to find out any more information I will pass it on to you.

kind regards

Lanarkshire / Re: cemetery's in Glasgow
« on: Tuesday 20 June 06 15:46 BST (UK)  »
Just spoke to a relative who lived in Maryhill for most of his life.

Greendoor gave you the correct names  of the cemeteries which are the ones used by the 'Maryhill folk'.

Lambhill was used by Protestants etc. St Kentigens by Roman catholics (no non RC's were allowed to be intered there even as late as the 1940's. Its different now).  So that should hopefully cut out one cemetery for you.

All the best

Hi Again

The last column is 'Where & When registered' and is the Records Office of the time  -  but in some certs, the third last column is 'Burial Place, Undertaker, or other Person, by whom certified'. This column doesn't seem to appear after 1865 though ( I think it came back  in 1972 :-\).

Chryston is next to Muirhead (to my knowledge), and is a different place from Maryhill.   I'm afraid your not really any further forward.  Have you tried the Glasgow & West of Scotland Family History society? They may have MI's of Lanarkshire published.

The only other thing I can suggest is having a look at ....

Hi Robneve

Sorry can't help you with the family but ........if you got Gregor & Jessie's MC (Marriage Cert) and/or  DC's (Death certs) you'd be off the ground with it. As this should  tell you who their parents are. You will find their MC on this site  but you'll only find  their DC's if they passed on before 1955.

This is a pay per view site ut a must for Scots Ancestry.


Good luck
