Lanarkshire / Re: James Buchanan number 16 possible sweetshop

Thanks Monica and all the other Rootchatters working on this thread.
My American cousin also says thanks too.
And the census list that Monica listed on the second page for residing in Rutherglen and being born in Prestonpans has all the children listed that match up with the Buchanan line we are working on.

I thought maybe the way that the staff were dressed might give a rough idea of a date of this photograph. Otherwise, it's just a long hard slog through all the Glasgow telephone directories up to around 1916 as I think that's as far as the list goes on the link that you posted Monica. That would also take in the 1901 and 1911 census records too.

Hello Monica, just some dates for James Buchanan so anyone can roughly find out when he had the above shop in Glasgow. James Buchanan was born on 3rd March 1874 in Prestonpans. James died on 23rd July 1962 in Victoria Hospital. That would mean around 1900 onwards making him age 26.

Lanarkshire / James Buchanan number 16 possible sweetshop
« on: Saturday 30 January 16 19:07 GMT (UK) »
Hello Rootschatters,
trying to find some information for my American cousin.
James Buchanan ran a sweet or confectionery shop in Glasgow.
A sign above the shop reads James Buchanan with the number 16 on each side of his name. The shop sold Fry's Cocoa and Chocolate. I wondered if any one had a shop directory that maybe identifies the above shop.

I have a friend who makes model boats and he was going to build me a small wooden replica of the original ship. But he was asking me for the fleet colours of the Standard Fishing Company of Aberdeen Ltd. Is there anyone out there who can maybe tell me the fleet colours if they have any reference books on the subject?

Thanks for the replies received so far. Now going through these points one at a time.
To Stan, seeing as Alexander fell overboard about 180 miles off the Island of May. That's located just off the coast of Fife. Would that take them somewhere around the coast of Norway if you were drawing a straight line?
I was in Scotland's People in Edinburgh last week doing some research on the Buchanan line and that link that Stan posted turns out to be the same certificate I received for Alexander's death certificate. So maybe they are using this because they don't have an official death certificate.
To jorose, it might be worth following up for a crew list for 1928 to see if it gives any more info on him.
To Seaweed, Yes I might pursue with a crew agreement request. His date of birth was 11th February 1890 and he was born in Gardiners Close, Cockenzie, Tranent, East Lothian.
To Allan, Seeing as the ship didn't sink, we might never know if his body was ever found or not. It could have been washed ashore somewhere. The ship became Ocean Brine LH78 in 1935 and it was cut up in 1955 at Milford Haven.

Family History Beginners Board / Name of the ship required
« on: Friday 08 January 16 19:12 GMT (UK) »
Hello folks,
I'm just looking to see if anyone can help me with the name of a ship where my ancestor was washed overboard back on 24th December 1928. It happened off the Isle of May and his body was never found. His name was Alexander Grundison Buchanan.
He was aged 39 and worked on the ship as a mate.
On his death certificate, it lists the name of the ship, but it could be one of two possibles.
The name of the ship was either the Linn O' Des or the Linn O' Dee.
Official number was 137,118. Not sure what that refers to?
Ship was registered in Aberdeen. Several of the Buchanan ancestors were Fisherman in and around Prestonpans in East Lothian. So i'm just wondering if this was perhaps a small fishing boat or maybe something a bit more grand.
