Hi Plimmerian,

It is possible that she was illegitimate.

Hi Em and Ev,

Thanks.  I found the archives and census material and am looking for an address for the prison in Perthshire.  Perhaps I will have to resort to snail mail.

Perthshire / Perthshire prison is 1851 - William Pride
« on: Friday 16 November 07 03:44 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All,

Does anyone have information on the name of a Perthshire prison in 1851.  a relative was jailed in 1850 for theft, breach of trust and embezzlement at New Monkland, Lanarkshire and Kirkintilloch, dumbartonshire.

I have seen the census details but no address other than Perth is given.

He was born in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire, England.

I would like to obtain a copy of his records but am unsure of where to enquire.

The Lighter Side / Re: Death Certificate Informant - What does this mean?
« on: Saturday 13 October 07 06:44 BST (UK)  »
When my mother died in 1996 I  asked to be named as the informant.  Instead of being described as daughter, I was listed as disposer fo the body!!!  Undertakers believe informant is them and therefore the disposer of the body.

Hi All,

I have a photo of my Great Great Grandfather George Bell born c1852 in Ireland.  He is seated outside a tent wearing a slouch hat and a red cross on his arm.  This would have been before he went to the Boer War (not sure if first or second).

The Common Room / Re: Large gaps between d.o.b. of a grandparent and one of his/her grandchildren.

Hi All,

My grandmother was born in 1862, my mother her youngest child in 1907 and myself also youngest child in 1947.  My grandmother was difficult to find as she had married twice to men younger than her and adjusted her age accordingly <grin>
