Hi Christine, Are you sure it doesn't read 'Present' meaning present at the death. Judy

Hi All, I am looking at a death certificate from Scotland's People. The death took place in Gretna in 1939. In the column for informant it gives the name, Widow and then "(Preseup)" For the next but one entry it looks more like "(Prescup)" But the "P" is very flowery and even looks a little like a "J" or "I" on the same page but there is an upstroke before it. I think it means "at the same address" but I cannot make it into anything sensible. Any ideas? Thanks for any info. Christine

Thanks Judi, I will keep the second Jean in mind although I suspect she did not belong to the family but until (if ever) I find who she did belong to I can't know positively. I have eliminated the most probable results from FamilySearch but there remain quite a few results in the "just possibly" category but very little to tie them down. When I get round to it I may find something on Scotland's People but since searching for "needles in haystacks" there costs a lot of money that is my last option.

I have found several families with children with the same first name. Usually when I find repeat names of children I assume the first ones have died. But I have found on several occasions that this is not the case and that two or more have survived, several to go on to have children. Sometimes they use a middle name during their lives others they actually seem to use the same name. Maybe this happens as a result of trying to stick hard and fast to naming patterns, who knows. I can tell you from doing a one name study of beattie's in the borders based on all the ones in the IGI, that it is far from being a complete record especially once you start going back in time. It varies drastically by county and parish.

Hi All, In 1841, there is a Jean LITTLE b c 1838, Scotland living with the family of John and Jean LITTLE at Guards Mill. However there is still a Jean CARRUTHERS nee LITTLE, daughter of the family still alive so I do not believe that she is a daughter of John and Jean. Also I cannot find here on FamilySearch and all the other children are there. Looking in 1851 there is a Jean LITTLE, niece, b Glencairn, Dumfriesshire who fits, living with Thomas and Jean LITTLE and family in Glencairn. But I suspect she is the child I have found in Glencairn in 1841 living with John and Mary LITTLE so have discounted her. Can anyone account for or claim this Jean? Any help greatly appreciated. Christine

Please disregard the request for spelling of street name.. mystery solved Thank you Ian for your help. Desmond

Can anyone help with spelling and location of Street Name from 1873, assume Dumfries. Spelling looks like " Stusbaird Cresent " Desmond

Jerry, this isn't very specific to your case, but I have a Scottish girl (Janet Shaw) marrying an Irishman (Charles Coll) in Ramelton, Co Donegal in 1817. It is said that agricultural workers used to follow the crop harvest between Ireland and Scotland in those days. Jeanette Some of you will remember my recent postings/queries regarding my Lambert family who were said to have been "from Galloway", according to the 1844 U.S. Naturalization record of my ancestor Joseph Lambert, born ca 1760. Results have been essentially nill for disclosing Lamberts in that region in the 1700's. Still, I have had some success finding the youngest four children of Joseph's children born in Edinburgh between 1820-1827 and to my great surprise those records are Catholic baptisms (St. Mary's)---I say surprise because by at least the 1820's this family was in fact associated with the Hope Park Chapel/St. Leonards/Newington Church of Scotland congregation in Edinburgh. One likely explanation for this is that the couple was of "mixed" religious origins----one Catholic and one Protestant. JOSEPH LAMBERT married (ca 1804?) CATHERINE BACON who is said to have been born in Ireland (ca 1780), but no idea where. Logic tells me that the place to first consider is Ulster and specifically, the coastal areas of Ireland closest to Galloway----Counties Antrim, Londonderry, Down---even northeast Donegal. And farther out, Armagh, Tyrone, Fermanagh, Monagahan (the last in The Republic). At least from my search of Scotlandspeople records I find no Bacon-Lambert marriages, so perhaps they were married in Ireland. Does anyone have any information, thoughts, suggestions---any kind of guidance for tackling the marriage (or anything re. a ) Galloway man marrying a woman from Ireland ca 1804? Any feedback, however general will be greatly apprecitaed. (As a side note, family lore was adamant that Catherine Bacon's ancestry traced to the clan of Sir Francis Bacon; his father was Sir Nicholas Bacon, Lord Chancellor under Elizabeth I.)

John McADAM of Galloway and wife Helen/Ellen McKENZIE - immigrants to Ontario, CAN Hello group. Please forgive me in advance. I'm new to this list and will try not to ramble. I wish to contact fellow researchers who might shed light on the ancestral lines of both John McAdam and Ellen McKENZIE in Scotland. I am especially interested in John McAdam's parents and his occupation, if that info is documented somewhere. I see that some researchers say John has the middle initial of "S", but I have no idea if that is accurate or for what middle name the "S" may represent. I believe I am descended from John McADAM, 1770-1840, and his wife, Helen/Ellen McKENZIE, 1781-1866, who emigrated about 1819 from the Galloway area, (with their 6 children) to London Twp., Middlesex, Ontario, CAN. (A seventh child, John McADAM, Jr. was born Nov 1819 at Westminster Twp., Middlesex, Ontario after arriving from Scotland.) My connection to this McADAM family is that one of John and Ellen's youngest daughters, Mary McADAM, born 1815 in Scotland, is my third great-grandmother. Mary McADAM , (1815-1895) married John Greenleaf HILL (1810-1899) at St. Paul's, London, Middlesex Co., Ontario on April 25, 1833. John and Mary HILL had 9 children and their family resided primarily in Oxford, Lambton and Middlesex counties of Ontario through 1899 and later. While most of these HILL descendants remained in Ontario, my ancestor, Nathan HILL and his wife Eliza MERRITT moved to Michigan and ultimately to California. I would appreciate any assistance and insight to understand the part of Scotland from which John and Ellen/Helen McAdam ancestors came. I have been reading about the area, in general, but have lots to learn. Thank you, kindly for your time.

cm - Welcome to the D-G List - I checked for films at our local Family History Center and the OPRs for Minnigaff are there in film #1068033. That film was ordered in about 5y ago. It has OPRs generally from 1694-1855. The IGI may not have had the males entered in it but they should be there in the original handwritten OPR books, I have not looked specifically at that year to see what shape the records are in. If you have not yet viewed this entry [assuming there is an entry], I can get a digital shot of it and send to you if you wish, I generally get to the FHC about 2-3 times a week so this shouldn't be difficult to do [again, assuming there IS an entry]. Will look around June 27, 1823 for George FERGUSON or similar. Please write to me at my home address : [email protected] if you are interested in a JPG if a suitable George is found.

Hi Helen, Not absolutely sure what you are looking for.  Both Kirkmichael and Troqueer are Parishes areas and not actual towns as such.   You can help yourself to any of my photos of Troqueer Kirkyard at: http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~dfsgal/Dumfries/Troqueer/index.htm   I also have an extensive archive of Kirkmichael graveyard photos that I have yet to put on-line. I recently prepared a PowerPoint presentation using them.  I can send you a copy as a ppt file off-List or some individual photos as jpeg attachments. Troqueer is on the opposite side of the River Nith from Dumfries Burgh -- now actually all part of the same town. See my photos on-line at: http://www.sypittdfs.myfreeola.com/sites/index.htm the bridges shown connect Dumfries with Troqueer. I offer all of my photos copyright free to family history researchers who are producing not-for-profit family histories. I hope that helps.

I'd like to add 2 more points: 1. 'Reply to all' results in the message being sent to the originator twice - one direct from you, and one via Rootsweb. If the originator is subscribed in 'List' mode, there will only be a short delay between the two. If the originator is subscribed only in 'Digest' mode, the message from Rootsweb could be delayed for days, depending on certain options set by that List's administrator. For this reason, I think it best to not delete the direct address from your 'Reply to All' message. 2. When replying to the list, the default usually includes the original message, including headers, footers, tag lines, etc. Leaving this unedited can clutter your reply unnecessarily, so its best to spend a little time deleting superfluous content from the original message as appended to your reply. This may include some or even all of the original text. For anyone in 'Digest' mode only, the potential for clutter is enormous, so one needs to be mindful of this. Regards, Bruce
