Hmm, can I just ask a question. I only post my anniversaries on this thread, am I correct in thinking they will now be lifted onto this other site whether I choose to subscribe or not ?
On 15th July 1880 my 3xG grandfather George Wardlaw died in Motherwell poorhouse. What he was doing there, I don't know. He hadn't applied for poor relief so I can only surmise he was in the hospital wing. He is described as a pedlar, though he had been a postman and before that a shoemaker. His wife Agnes died young as did one of his three sons. His only daughter died giving birth to her first child. I feel for George, I really do.
On 12th July 1748 my 5xG grandparents John Wallace and Agnes Bishop married in Ratho. Their daughter Agnes was the mother of the above George.
