This is actually very exciting information, all of it! More than I realized at first glance.

SANCTI - that birth for Ambros(e) Dick is particularily interesting as it connects with the Stirling of my g aunt's memory.I like that! I had found marriage and some birth info via the IGI but not that information. Their daughter Elizabeth's first child was named David, so I'd vote for that being the name of Ambrose's father. William and David are quite different, it must have been very difficult to read.
Anyway that information opens new doors, for sure and it is further strengthened by the burial information of Margaret Halliday: parents John Halliday and Elizabeth Blair Dick!!

LODGER Also very interesting, especially when I don't recognise some of the people -yet, if they are in the same plot, a connection is there! I have LEGGAT ancestor of Cambusnethan - Agnes Halliday married James Leggat there and it is where most of their children were born. Although this Leggat family moved to Harrington in Cumberland Eng. after 1871, there was a fair bit of movement of the families between the two areas -

JAMES DICK, was my ggg grandmother Elizabeth's brother.

The father of Catherine Halliday, John, was a son of Elizabeth Dick and John Halliday.

I hadn't come across the ALLAN connection I'm guessing it is from Mary! Robert Halliday (another son of Elizabeth Dick Halliday married a Mary (I had no maiden name for her in my database so now I think I do!)

John and Elizabeth (Dick) did have a daughter Margaret Halliday born around 1832. It must be that she married David LITTLEJOHN. I especially am thrilled to see her parents names as John Halliday and Elizabeth Blair Dick which ties in so neatly with who Sancti found for parents of Ambrose Dick - the mother's name Elizabeth BLAIR.

Luckly I had some info on the McPhail stillborn  or I would have been stumped! Not so long ago I found out that Agnes (Halliday) Leggat's daughter Jeannie (nee Jane Frew Leggat) had first married Archibald McPhail. This still born may have been their only child. Archi died in 1896 and Jeannie remarried (I had previously only known of the second marriage).

It is wonderful that the names of plot owners are included. It actually gives a ton of information. I'm wodering what the owner of the plot for John Halliday was Elizabeth Anderson or Halliday 40 Shand St wishaw. Was it that she had two names. I think John's wife's maiden name was McLennen...



The image of the puzzle is certainly becoming clearer!

Thank you so much!

THe name Ambrose certainly does help!!

The IGI also has a record of an Agness batch C190871

AGNESS DICK 
 Christening:  02 APR 1820   Hutchesontown Relief Church, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland
  Father:  AMBROSE DICK
  Mother:  ELISBEATH STEVEN

Because James was the 4th child, I figured that since Elizabeth and Christian came before James and the others after, there must  also have been an unknown in between. I don't know the names of Elizabeth Stevenson's father (perhaps Christian?) but I'm thinking this unknown child could have been named David, after Ambrose's father (if that was in fact his name)

Interestingly there doesn't seem to be a record for Elizabeth (Blair) Dick who was born sometime between  1807 & 1812 (census ages vary). It was her death information that let me know that her parents were the same as those above.

I just had a thought - perhaps she was born in Stirlingshire also, although census info points to Barony.

I say it's interesting because I can't find her daughter Agnes' birth info either - I often seem to have more luck with siblings of my direct ancestors!! Agnes was b. around 1842, apparently at Cambusnthan.

I found this on the IGI - I'm glad to see that not all David and Margaret (Halliday) Littlejohn's children died young! I was beginning to get that impression from the burial info. Still how hard it must have been. So many deaths were also a result of the work in the mine's...

Ard, "Elizabeth Anderson or Halliday" is a legal expression.  One would be her maiden anme, the other her married name.  In this case I would imagine that Anderson was her maiden surname.

Christian was a female name here in Scotland at that time. It later became Christina.

Regards,

Lodger.

[ard]

Oh - yes I guess I had noted that Christian was female - I just forgot!

I had wondered if Elizabeth (Dick) Halliday had remarried as I found this

ELIZABETH DICK
    Spouse:  WILLIAM ANDERSON
  Marriage:  02 DEC 1862   Cambusnethan, Lanark, Scotland
 Batch No.:   M116281 

The only reason I would consider this is that her son John (I believe it is her son since the age fits) is in a plot owned by Elizabeth Anderson or Halliday 40 Shand St wishaw

However  there is not sign that she had another surname in the 1871 census nor is William Anderson isn't mentioned on  her death record, only John Halliday...

If I understand correctly, women kept their maiden names in Scotland, at least up until a certain time when the custom changed. Do you know if that is right?

cheers,
