Hello Moira,
thanks for the reply on Arthur Abel. I will check out to see if it mentions his occupation on some of the census records. Then we should be able to establish when he started his fishmonger business.

Hello Forfarian,
Since it was me that did the initial request and it being part of my family tree. I decided to follow up the last request that you made.
David Cull, Coal Miner, married Elizabeth Wilson, Domestic Servant at Burngreen Hall, Kilsyth on 25th March 1910. David's parents were William Cull, Coachman and Elizabeth McCulloch. Elizabeth's parents were William Wilson, Labourer and Elizabeth McBurnie. 
David Cull was born on 18th October 1888 at 41 Burnside Street, off Garscube Road, Glasgow. It lists his parents as William Cull, Stableman and Elizabeth McCulloch. David's parents were married on 18th March 1881 at Milton, Glasgow.
It also lists Margaret Leggat, Maternal Grandmother, as being the informant of the birth at the address in Burnside Street above.

Hello Purpeller,
I wrote to the Beresford Family Society and this was the reply I got from them.
 Thank you for your email and its interesting content, unfortunately the BFS do not hold or have access to any records of estate workers at Curraghmore.
The only thing I can suggest is that you contact them direct, perhaps by letter  for intial contact, and hope that someone may be able to assist you. I have read several books about life at the Curraghmore in the 1800s, all of the family were big hunting shooting fishing participants  and very fine horsemen, at one time 100 horses were stabled there for hunting. Perhaps with this rich history they might be able to help you.
So sorry we cannot help you but wish you all the best in your quest for information.

Thanks Sarah for the information on the death of Jack. That helps with the names of Jack's sons. As I only had them written down as son one, two and three. So now I can give them a first name. If there is anyone else out there in Rootschat land who can help with the thread. I'm leaving the topic open.

Yours,

Wilton Endeavour
