Finding a Scottish family

[MonicaL]

That will save time looking pre-1855! All my Scottish side are and there is nothing for them on-line pre-1855 except census data 

I'm not seeing the family on the 1851 Census in Scotland as yet. I'll check England as I suppose the whole family, not just Charlotte, could have moved down post 1841.

If it makes you both feel any better, mine were Presbyterian/Church of Scotland and not all are recorded - missing records, not willing to pay the baptismal entry, etc., etc.

Roxburgh was a chapel-of-ease in St Cuthberts.

"ST. CUTHBERT, (or West Kirk), is a huge massive structure with double galleries, rebuilt in 1770 on the site of a very ancient church of the 11th century, situated under the N.W. face of the Castle Rock, at the corner of Prince's-street. It has belonging to it several chapels-of-ease, as Buccleuch, Dean, St. David's, Morningside, Roxburgh, Hope Park, and Lady Glenorchy's. There are, besides, Lady Yester's, rebuilt in 1803; Newington, built in 1823, with a steeple 110 feet high; and St. John's parish church, built in 1838."

Hi Curtiss

I think I've found the family in 1851 headed by Thomas (Gentleman's Groom/ MS) that we posted yesterday at St Cuthbert's, Edinburgh City in 1841. Elizabeth, wife/mother looks to have died between censuses. Charlotte is not there.

Let us know how you get on in respect of the MC info for Charlotte and father's name 

Regards.
