Lookup Linlithgow Tolbooth Records Scotland
« on: Friday 15 May 15 10:13 BST (UK) »
My Matrilineal line...
I Have Christian Dott my ggggrandmother, transported to Australia for stealing horse shoes Edinburgh Court Nov 1839, age 15. I have ordered the trail papers, yet to arrive,  and have the Precognition papers. Father William Dott, shoemaker, Linlithgow.
However its her second offence. She had just been released, after 8 months for stealing, from Tolbooth in Linlithgow, charged circa January 1839 for her first offence.
Any idea where to find this first offence, what she stole, are her parents mentioned or is there a lookup.
I want to confirm her mother as Ann Hamilton if possible. (Marriage William Dott and Ann Hamilton 1809).  I now know from her sister Helens conviction her grandmothers name is Helen Walker (married John Hamilton).
Then of course I want to find Helen Walkers Mum...I have no real clues.
I have no death certificate for Christian...can't find one here in Australia.
Thanks if you can help
Rhonda
