Thanks all. 

Having not used the Scotlands People site until this week I appreciate the info.

Thanks Sandra

It may mean I need to order hard copies but the searches indicate that no certificates are available.  Having never ordered from there before I will need to look to see what to do.

Thanks for all of this again.

Looking at Helen’s marriage to William George Biggs on the Scotlands People website:

SURNAME
HARDIE
FORENAME
HELEN
SPOUSE SURNAME
BIGGS
SPOUSE FORENAME
WILLIAM GEORGE
YEAR
1951
REF644 / 9 / 192
RD NAME
KELVINGROVE

It says that certificates are not available - is that correct?  A similar statement appears when I search for her 1989 death.

Thanks for those articles Sandra - very helpful.  They seem to tie in with the gravestone photo I located! Not sure who the daughter in law Crissie is though, and which of Thomas’s sons she married - not Thomas M Hardie by the look of it as the marriage you found for him was to a Mary.

All very helpful and appreciated.  Thanks

Thanks all.  I took a chance and downloaded that census and it was the right family.  I have not done much Scottish research to date and so am not very familiar with resources, and never would have found it without the help, so am grateful for everyone’s assistance. 

Where were the advertisements noted as they could be an interesting line of enquiry?

I am trying to find out more about this family - particularly Helen.  I think that she may have married a William George Biggs in 1951 so may not have had a family.  I see that she was buried with her parents in Coatbridge, following her death in 1989. Can recent certificates (the 1951 marriage or 1989 death) be ordered from anywhere?

Thanks

Lanarkshire / Margaret Hardie (mmn Laurie)

Hi

We are researching the Hardie family of Coatbridge Glasgow: Thomas Muir Hardie (1880-1940); Margaret Hardie (mn Laurie) (1880-1959); and their children Thomas M (1901), John L (1903), George (1905), James (1908), Agnes M (1909), and Helen (1911).  There is also an adopted daughter Margaret Hardie Martin (1900).

We can see Thomas on the 1921 census in Coatbridge, a married man, with his sons but there is no sign of his wife Margaret or their daughters.  Can anyone spot where they are in 1921, in particular Helen?

Thanks - yes that’s Elizabeth Bassetts burial.

The marriage is a puzzle though - Lincolnshire is a possibility although does seem a long way.

Hi

That 1792 marriage is the marriage between the Thomas Bassett and Elizabeth at Grendon, they lived in Polesworth, and were having children and baptising them in Polesworth at the same time as the Hinckley couple.  I did see the licence for that 1792 marriage and both of Grendon, with that Thomas a farmer.

The Hinckley Thomas was a framework knitter.

Yes - that is correct.

The Bassetts do not appear to herald from Hinckley although there is a William and Ann Bassett also in Hinckley in the 1790’s - perhaps a brother or even Thomas’ father?
