You have all been very helpful with your replies. I will try to be a little more specific with my requests. I am webmaster for
www.latta.org and I have been updating all of our Scotland pages. We have families from various parts of Scotland that I would like to update and add too. Lets start with the Lanarkshire area. I have a Robert Latta, born abt. 1816 in Ireland, who is married to Hannah Latta, and working as a coal miner in the 1841 census in Old Monkland, Lanarkshire. His children are John, Robert, Alexr, and Sarah. I have not found a death for Robert Latta, the father, but he does not appear in the 1871 census in Rutherglen, Lanarkshire. His wife Hannah is listed as head of the house, along with daughter Catherine Crossan, age 25, and two lodgers, Fannie Cardow, age 17, and Jane Cardow, age 2. In 1881, Hannah Latta is found in Rutherglen again, in the home of her daughter, Mary Welsh, age 31 and husband Michael Welsh, 34, a coal miner, and their 5 children, Patrick, Catherine, Hannah, John, and Maggie. I am looking for more information on this family. A whole list of children would be nice, since I keep coming up with daughters. Son, Robert Latta, 44, is found in the 1861 census, in Glasgow, working as a miner, and in 1881 in Hamilton, Lanarkshire with wife Anna, and two sons, John, 11, scholar, and Robert, 23, coal miner. This is all of the information that I have so far. I have found an 1871 census for 13 Cathcart Rd., Rutherglen, Lanarkshire for a John Latta, age 35, who is a coal miner, who I believe to be the son of Robert and Hannah. Also an article from the Glasgow Herald, 12 Nov. 1873 regarding a mining accident in which John Latta of 15 Cathcart Street, Rutherglen was involved in. I believe this is the same John Latta, since he was listed at 13 Cathcart Rd. in the 1871 census. Anybody have any more information for me?
