Dumfriesshire / Re: William Porteous Agnes Graham
« on: Tuesday 14 February 23 14:01 GMT (UK)  »
Can I please ask who your great grandfather was please? My husband has connections to this family, however I don't have record of William Porteous with the first child being born 1808.

Children of John Porteous & Mary Winstanly that I have found so far are

Richard PORTEOUS 05 Jun 1808
Andrew Johnston PORTEOUS 15 Jul 1810
Mary PORTEOUS 09 Jul 1812
Janet PORTEOUS 20 Jun 1815
John PORTEOUS 21 Jun 1815
Thomas PORTEOUS 06 Sep 1821
Robert PORTEOUS 04 May 1825
James PORTEOUS Abt. 1828

My husband's line comes down from Janet Porteous. Would love to share notes

Lanarkshire / Re: What does this death registration read and mean?

Usually when I have came across 1855 certificates it states how many children living and how many dead, but looking at this one I would say "deceased Oct 1827". That's my guess.

Is anyone still using this thread?

My husband has a connection with the Porteous family that you have all been discussing and it would be great if we could compare some information. I have only recently got back into doing some research having been away from it for so long.

Would love to hear back from any of you guys.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Cause of Death
« on: Friday 13 April 18 17:50 BST (UK)  »
I'm hoping that some one out there can tell me the cause of death for my Mary and also her deceased father's occupation. I'm also having a bit of difficulty reading the informant's first name. I thought it may be James but haven't came across a birth for him yet.

Any help would be appreciated on this one thanks.

Hi Irene B

I have a Carlyle family connected to St Mungos - Elizabeth Carlyle c1799 daughter of Thomas Carlyle & Helen Norrie. She was my husbands 4th great grandmother. They had another 4 children - Mary, William, Thomas & George.

Wondered if there is any connection with your Carlyle family.

At lease you got a quick response from them. Wonder how many other's have fallen for it though?

I know it is.

I don't particularly like the site since they changed it. I find it's harder to search through your previous viewed images and searches too.

Hopefully they will come back to you with a suitable explanation. Especially when you can buy 2 x 40 credit without paying the extra £4!

Good luck
