Kirkcudbrightshire / Grierson family from Balmaclellan
« on: Monday 22 October 12 17:32 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I am trying to find out details about  a John Grierson, who is listed on the 1861 census for Strathaven, Lanarkshire as being born in Balmaclellan. He was 66 in 1861 so would have been born in about 1795. I wondered if anyone has any details.

Thank you for the info, the rubber trade Charles Parker might be him, my reasoning is that the family moved to Farrington near Leyland, and there was a rubber factory there.  I shall have to look at the 1911 census to see what he was doing then.

Hi Annette,
Thank you for your information, it has helped to answer another question why my great grandmother has hannah as a second name - it point to her being named after her aunt.

Hi,
I,m trying to find out about the burial place of my Gran's grandmother. She was a Mary Ann Weeks who died in Wandsworth in 1887. I know that there is a multitude of London cemeteries, can anyone give any pointers as to likely burial places if she died in Wandsworth. She was living in Battersea at the time.
