Scottish MI, Some OPR & Census held in Edinburgh

[Boongie Pam]

Karenn,
Yup - no problem.  I've confused matters a bit though I think.  There were no other GORDON MI in Greenlaw but I thought there may be GORDON graves in the parish of GORDON since Michael was born there.  I'll check next time I'm there.  Are there any other parishes that you'd be interested in?  The link in the first post on the thread will let you know if I have access.

I've got some other census entries for Gordon in Greenlaw that maybe of interest, I was typed out last night!

Here you go...

1851 Greenlaw Enum Dist 1 P10
48 Toadholes ?

Janet Gordon Head Wid 43 Lodging House keeper/Pauper Greenlaw
John Gordon Son 15 Hawker Greenlaw
Margaret Gordon Dau 10 Scholar Greenlaw
Elizabeth Gordon Dau 7 Scholar Greenlaw
William Gordon Son 4 Edinburgh

and then the lodgers...

Mary McIndow Lodger 48 Hawker Glasgow
Margaret McIndow Lodger 13 Wanderer with their mother Greenlaw
William McIndow Lodger 11 Ditto Glasgow
Mary McIndow Lodger 8 Ditto Runse or Bunse? Berwick

Then in 1861 Enum Dist 2 P1

High St

Janet Scott Head Mar 53 Keeper of Lodging House Greenlaw
Margaret Gordon Dau Unmar 20 General Serv Lauder
William Gordon Son Unmar 14 Scholar Edinburgh

...lodgers get a bit mixed up!

I'll check 1881 tonight.

Cheers,
Pam

Pam,

I had a brain wave and wondered if you could help me with the following when you start again in a couple of weeks.  I know I said I would write in a couple of weeks but remembered a piece I have been working on that is bugging me and I do not know how to get the info I am looking for.  I have tried a few ways and spent too many pounds.

These names come from a bible in our family.  I am at an impasse in finding the next generation to link with my Yuill/Kennedy g-g grandparents as the surnames Andrew, Turnbull and Parker are not in my recent tree.  I am guessing a maternal line.

I am hoping the MI for Barony, Glasgow, Lanarkshire will help me with some dates, places and people buried nearby.
Here are the names listed in the Family Bible (It was printed 1809 in Edinburgh, Haddington)

John Andrew died January 22, 1834 (Probably hard to find with such a common name but there is an exact date he died/buried).  I am guessing he lived in Barony, Glasgow, Lanarkshire.
Janet Andrew Turnbull died March 1827 She married John Turnbull, May 13, 1798, Barony, Glasgow

Agnes Parker b. 1829 and died September 29, 1838 at age 9.  Her parents were Agnes Andrew and Archibald Parker (they married in 1828 and I think born about 1810).
Andrew married Archibald Parker October 17, 1829 in Barony, Lanark.  They also had Jean (b. 1832) and Archibald Jr. (b. 1834) Parker.


You are a genius if you can find these people!  - Kristin (Nutkin)

Hello Pam:

When the footie is all done and ur back at the library, I wonder if you might have time to look up a couple of my Davidsons.  
Walter Davidson born 1773 died in Galashiels (Selkirk) sometime after 1816, I can't pinpoint any closer than that.
Baby John G Davidson was born in Innerleithen (Peebles) in 1854 and didn't make his 2nd birthday for sure.

Best wishes,

Gordon

Hello Pam,
I don't know anything about Michael's parents or sibblings, so if you did look at the MI in Gordon, then you might find some of his family. (There are probably millions of Gordons!) As for the other GORDONS you gave me, they might tie in later.

The other place I am researching is Newton, Midlothian.  If you have any interest in this place, I am looking for details of 1841 census for David PHILLIP b 1792 and Isabella PHILLIP (nee Sawers) b 1793 and children Jean 1830, David 1815, Elizabeth 1827, James 1825, Alexander 1822 and Sophia b 1817.

Thanks again

Karenn

Karenn, I have connections in KIRKnewton not Newton.  I'll check the film - and any other requests next week.  There are no MI for midlothian that I've found - which is an absolute pain because most of my lot died before 1840!

Cheers,
Pam

Karenn,

Here's the 1881 family...

Dwelling:   20 Wester Row
Census Place:   Greenlaw, Berwick, Scotland
Source:   FHL Film 0224031     GRO Ref    Volume 743    EnumDist 2    Page 17

   Marr   Age   Sex   Birthplace
Jane GORDON   U   68    F   Greenlaw, Berwick,    Rel:   Head
   Occ:   Hawker

Catherine GORDON   U   35    F   Greenlaw, Berwick,    Rel:   Sister
   Occ:   Farm Servant

Jean GORDON   U   21    F   Greenlaw, Berwick,    Rel:   Daur
   Occ:   Domestic Serv

So it looks like Michael and his wife died between 1871 and 1881 therefore they should be on http://www.Scotlandspeople.gov.uk - have you used that site?  If not my opinion is that it is brilliant, it is pay per view but it works out at £1.10 for a cert which is a darn site cheaper than for england.  

This would give you Michael's parents and Jean's parents as long as whoever registered them knew their names.

Good luck,
Pam

[Karenn]

You are a gem Pam!
Thanks for tracing them down for me.  I'll look at the Scot's people site over the weekend.

Cheers

Karenn

Just to let you all know I'll be going to the library on Monday if anyone wants a look-up, I'll do th eones waiting as well.

Cheers,
Pam

As well as the resources listed in the first mail of this thread there is also a useful little book on irregular marriages at Annan.  MAny of these are runaway marriages from England.

I have transcribed the index and attached it below.  The number is the number of the entry in the book so this will tell you, for example, if an ANDERSON married a FERGUSON yes number 161.  Let me know the number and I'll get the entry.
