Northumberland / Kyloe/Lowick, John BURNS, Ann BURNS nee CLARK
« on: Wednesday 16 June 21 16:25 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for this John BURN(S) and his wife Ann CLARK.

It seems all their children were born in/around Kyloe, so perhaps they stayed there for the rest of their lives.

Anecdotally, either John or Ann had a grandfather who lived to 106 - no more detail known.

Midlothian / "lately in this parish" meaning
« on: Monday 14 June 21 16:09 BST (UK)  »
1795 - Duddingston - William Chisholm lately in this parish and Jean Comb in the parish of South Leith were booked in order to proclamation & gave the poor 1s 6d.

Does that mean William was born in this parish, or was born elsewhere and now lives here?
And can I be sure Jean was born in the parish of South Leith?

Midlothian / William WRIGHT d 1835-41 Edinburgh
« on: Sunday 13 June 21 01:50 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for this William WRIGHT, especially to work out who his parents were.  Scotlands People returns too many to wade through.  Any suggestions how to make progress with such a common name?

Wife: Margaret CHISHOLM
Marriage: probably 1816 Dec 02, Edinburgh, Canongate
Youngest child born: about 1835
Occupation: butcher / flesher

Not with family in 1841 census or subsequently.  Known only from relatives' death certificates.  Age unknown.  I can provide more details of his children if it would help somehow!

Where was Matthew born?

If it helps, this is Parton in Kirkcudbrightshire.

Midlothian / Why can't I find this death cert? 1903 HUTTON Edinburgh
« on: Saturday 12 June 21 13:13 BST (UK)  »
Edinburgh Evening News 16/17 April 1903, under "Deaths", John Hutton, compositor, died on the 15th at 7 Windmill Street, the house of his son-in-law.

Seems straightforward.  But Scotland's People has no John Hutton death certificate in Edinburgh from 1902 to 1904.

What's my next move?

Census and Resource Discussion / Maps showing building numbers
« on: Wednesday 09 June 21 23:31 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone have a good go-to source for UK maps showing building numbers (in the past, of course!)  For instance, I'm trying to find 136 High Street, Glasgow in 1872-73.  Had quite a long go at NLS maps.nls.uk to no avail.

Ireland / CULLEN, McGEOUGH (possibly Armagh: Ballymore and Mullabrack parish)
« on: Wednesday 09 June 21 18:27 BST (UK)  »
Here's my Irish brickwall.  Well - one of them...


Daniel Cullen lived in Glasgow most of his life but was from Ireland.


Known to be him:

MARRIAGE
Glasgow, St Vincent Chapel (Catholic)
1872 Jul 15
to Jane McMullen (elsewhere McMullan/McMillan)
Age: 20
Parents: Michael Cullen, farmer.  Susanna McGeogh, deceased.

Jane died 1874.

MARRIAGE
Glasgow, St Andrew's Chapel (Catholic)
1876 Apr 24
to Elizabeth Blaney
Age: 24
Parents: Michael Cullen, farmer.  Susanna McGeoch, deceased.

CENSUSES:  Consistently living in Glasgow, born in Ireland, carter/driver.
1881 age27
1891 age39
1901 age47
1911 age59

DEATH
Glasgow
1916 Apr 06
Age: 65
Parents: Michael Cullen, labourer, deceased.  Catherine McKeogh, deceased.


Potentially him:

CENSUS 1871
Glasgow, Bridgeton, 254 Dalmarnock Road
Age 20
Lodger.  Carter.

Possible BIRTH:
Co Armagh, Ballymore and Mullabrack parish (Catholic) - parish registers
1849 Jul 16
Parents: Mi..l Cullen, Susanna McGeough

I don't know how common these names are (i.e. is it a coincidence) and his birthdate in known documents as above varies from 1850 to 1854 - average around 1852 - so this is a bit early.

If it IS him - well, I can't find any more about the family in Ireland, and would love to.


Miscellaneous:
No evidence found of his parents/siblings in Scotland.
Both his wives were also Irish; Jane lived with her mother and siblings in Glasgow.

Any tips?  Let me know if you need more detail on the evidence above.
