Midlothian / New Dalry Cemetery, Edinburgh
« on: Saturday 19 August 23 18:14 BST (UK)  »
I have an ancestor who died in 1890 and the Cemetery Registers have him buried in New Dalry Cemetery. Online, I can only find references and sites dealing with Dalry Cemetery which opened in the 1840s and looks as though it is having some fantastic restoration work done at the moment.

Is anybody aware if Dalry Cemetery and New Dalry Cemetery are one and the same? The ancestor died in St Cuthbert’s Poorhouse, if that adds to the picture at all.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help with an address in Edinburgh please
« on: Wednesday 05 March 14 15:02 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to read the address where an ancestor was living in Edinburgh when he married in 1864. I take it to be No 17 H??? Close, Pleasance, Edinburgh.

I can't see anything on a current map which fits the bill. I have had a look at some of the historic town plans on the NLS website, but drawn a blank.

Wondered if anyone here had any ideas.

I am hoping for help with this marriage of an ancestor which took place in the St Andrews district of Edinburgh in 1864. In the column which lists the parents, I am trying to read the part in brackets after  "John Houston Seaman", and before "Deceased".

Any help would be appreciated.

Midlothian / Churches in Musselburgh - COMPLETED
« on: Friday 18 October 13 09:58 BST (UK)  »
My 4x gt grandfather, James Hay (1750-1810), was a baker in Market Street in Musselburgh. His burial record states where in the churchyard he is buried. I would like to try to identify which church this would have been. I have done a little poking about on Google to try to identify which churches would have been there at the time, but wondered whether anybody knows of a resource where I could take this research a little bit further.

I would be grateful for any help.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help needed with Edinburgh street name please
« on: Wednesday 09 January 13 17:27 GMT (UK)  »
I would like to find out where this place is which occurs on one of my ancestor's certificates, but first I need to determine exactly what it says. The death was registered in 1888 in Edinburgh St Andrews.

Any help with either part would be greatly appreciated.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help with occupation please
« on: Saturday 10 November 12 23:56 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for help to read the second line of this text. The name on the first line is John Houston. His occupation is listed as Seaman, but I am trying to read the bit after that.

Any help would be appreciated.

This extract is from a birth registered in the St Giles district of Edinburgh in 1887. I wonder if anybody can tell me what it says on the line above Chambers Street.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Wicklow / Completed: Marriage records around 1840
« on: Saturday 11 June 11 15:42 BST (UK)  »
My great grandmother, Ellen Colclough, was born in Co Wicklow in 1852. Her parents' names were Thomas Colclough and Eliza/Elizabeth Byrne.

I searched the new Wicklow marriage index on IFHF this morning for a marriage between Thomas and Eliza, and it does return one match, in 1840. I'm not inclined to pay 40 euros though when I only want that one record. I have tried the LDS site, but can't find the marriage.

I suspect I already know the answer to this, but is there any other way I can get the information?

Renfrewshire / Completed: Likely burial place for a Bridge of Weir death
« on: Sunday 22 May 11 00:18 BST (UK)  »
I have recently discovered a relative who died in Bridge of Weir in 1975. I was hoping that someone on the board here with some local knowledge could point me in the direction of a likely burial place, or where I might get access to burial records.

Any responses appreciated.
