Scotland / Next of Kin Inheritance
« on: Monday 20 September 10 22:15 BST (UK)  »
John McLachlan died 23/10/1850 leaving no will
Who would have inhereted his estate his widow or his daughter.  the inventory of his creditors names his daughter as his next of kin although I believe his wife was still living in 1851 when the census was taken.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: St Lawrence Little Stanmore
« on: Friday 05 February 10 18:11 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks Mean_genie, I hope to visit St Lawrence latter this year, the problem is I don't have a micro micro-Fiche reader and getting to the Library is difficult at the moment as I don't have a car and mobility is somewhat limited. Thanks for the information anyway. I'll just have to wait till I can get there.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / St Lawrence Little Stanmore
« on: Tuesday 02 February 10 12:40 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find out if there are any grave stones or monumental inscriptions for the Hone family burials at St Lawrence Church. Little Stanmore.  George Hone c 1739 Wheelwright married Mary Dormer at St. Botolph Aldgate 27/12/1768 they had 12 children baptised at St.Lawrence between 1769 and 1790, at least seven children died before the death of Mary who I think was buried 11/8/1808 and George was buried 1/4/1824. George born 9/8/1787 son of George and Mary
was also buried at little Stanmore 24/4/1831.

US Lookup Requests / Re: Providence Rhode Island Death
« on: Thursday 31 December 09 13:20 GMT (UK)  »
 Many thanks for the information, the Thomas Henry who died  9/2/1888 and was buried at Swan Point was the son of Paul and Pheobe (Phebe) Lowe. Pheobe died in Birmingham Warwickshire 28/2/1849 before Paul left England. It's not certain when Thomas Henry Lowe went to America it must have been between the birth of his son Thomas Henry Lowe in 1845 and the death of his first wife Esther at Providence Rhode Island  in 1861. I see there are burials for Thomas, Esther and his second wife Eleanor at Grace Church Cemetary. Also son Edwin and his wife Isabell Eleanor nee Marshall and their son Thomas H all buried at Swan Point cemetary. Edwin Lowe Married  Isabell Eleanor Marshall who was his step sister and daughter of Eleanor Marshall  the second wife of Thomas Henry Lowe.
Again Many thanks for  all your help although I still don't know where Paul Lowe died at least I know where to look.
THANK YOU ALL  AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR

US Lookup Requests / Providence Rhode Island Death
« on: Monday 28 December 09 21:35 GMT (UK)  »
Trying to find the death of Paul Lowe born 1781 Birmingham Warwickshire England. Paul had a son Thomas Henry Lowe who lived in Providence Rhode Island. There is a Paul Lowe Brass Founder who appears on a Philadelphia passenger list for 'The City of Glasgow' leaving Liverpool 18/6/1852 . destination Rhode Island,  I think the age is recorded incorrectly he was 68 not 58 as stated. 
There is no registration for the death of Paul Lowe in the U.K. so I am assuming he died in the USA, can anyone help me find his death or burial in the USA or tell me how I can trace his burial.

Scotland / Re: John Dewar Carlisle 1746
« on: Friday 09 October 09 15:39 BST (UK)  »
Hi  Kirsty, Thanks for the reply and the links, unfortunaley nothing of any relavance.
 If John Dewar was a prisoner at Carlisle he was probably one of the who was release without charge. At least I now know that the trials started in September 1746 which is the date on the paper I have. 
Thanks Again

Scotland / John Dewar Carlisle 1746
« on: Tuesday 06 October 09 15:16 BST (UK)  »
I have a piece of paper which reads as follows

By Philip Carteret Webb Esq Solicitor
On behalf of his Majesty

These are to certify that the bearer John Dewar was
this day dismissed from attending the Assizes
whereby he is at liberty to pass about his lawfull business unmolested
Given at Carlisle 2? Sept 1746
(signed) Philip Carteret Webb

To All concerned
--------------


John Dewar was my 6th Greatgrandfather his daughter Katherine was married to Alexander Watson in 1761 at St Andrews Fifeshire. I think she was also baptized there.

The paper has been glued to a second piece of paper probably because it has been folded and unfolded may times which makes me think John must have carried it for an extended period of time.

Does anyone know the relevance of this paper could it have any relationship to the Battle of Culloden and the following trial or dismissals of the Scottish prisoners
