Hi, Frank, the website address is www.books.google.com. Good luck with it. I don't always remember to use it but when I do I am always pleasantly surprised. One of my very close girlfriends from college was from Calgary. She is currently on leave but is getting ready to go back to Congo under the auspices of the Free Methodist Church. She has worked on and off there for years as a nurse and midwife. I was originally signed up with the Lanark website to help another friend find something on her Bisset family and locate a cousin. We did get in touch with her cousin - not through the internet or any technology, but through an old-fashioned letter sent to his previous employer. Funny! Have fun with google books. It is a great feature.

Bob, This is a cut and paste of an email sent by Des Garrity re Lanarkshire Poor Relief and where all the records have now been distributed............. Jenny Hi Everyone, I have worked on the indexing of the Glasgow and Lanarkshire Poor-relief applications over the years. I just want everyone to know that there has been some changes very recently, and, some historical records have been moved to the appropriate Local Authorities (this includes any surviving Poor-relief applications, School records etc.) The main ones are listed below: Kirkintilloch, New Kilpatrick and Cadder are now with EAST DUNBARTONSHIRE ARCHIVES. Bothwell, Cambusnethan, Dalziel, New Monkland, Old Monkland and Shotts are now with NORTH LANARKSHIRE ARCHIVES. Glasgow City, Govan and Barony remain with Glasgow City Archives as do records pertaining to South Lanarkshire (for the time being) I hope this will be of some assistance to anyone looking for the records in Glasgow.

Hello Helen You could be right about Alexander being a home child , I found an Alexander Reid in the 1881 census for Canada Household: He is a few years older but we have to allow for age being out the instance shown he is the same age as Naomi . When he married in Bridgeton ,he was the same age as his wife. It is worth looking at. The Mitchell had the Poorhouse House Records and informed me that to enter the Poorhouse you had to state the Place of birth and other information . Cambusnethan is digitized up to 1901 I think it said The one I am seeking in Cambusnethan had given the wrong father and only got his mothers name right Phoebe, that is the name he gave his daughter. I traced him back to West Bromwich to a family who had lost a son who just disappeared his age was right plus occupation. Below is an Alexander in Canada who is an Engineer ,the one I am seeking is an Engineers - Driller? Name Marital Status Gender Ethnic Origin Age Birthplace Occupation Religion Alex.

Bob Still working on the premise that Alexander may have been orphaned at a very early age, I found an Alexander Reid, 13, born in the County of Lanarkshire, in Mossbank Industrial School in Springburn, Glasgow in 1871. Industrial schools were set up to provide training for boys (and girls) who were in danger of falling by the wayside, so to speak, because they had been abandoned by their parents, or orphaned, and allowed to roam the streets. 'Alexander Reid' was hardly an uncommon name but if all else fails you may be able to get hold of the records pertaining to this Alexander which may have details of his family background. The Mitchell Library may be able to help. See: http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/en/Residents/Library_Services/The_Mitchell/ Rhoda

Bob - Saw your discussions with Rhonda. Boy, I wish we could tie your Alexander in to my Reids. http://www.gencircles.com/users/rodfleck/2/data/267 Please share the court case you mentioned. In my grandmother's family, she always referenced a court event that somehow connected one side of her family to another. I have never ever been able to sort that recollected childhood memory out. However, I did once come across a case in the late 1800s that may have been connected - but like your Alexander, I lacked that one document that proved a connection. Best of luck on your quest.

Bob I found the death certificate of a Janet Reid m.s Hamilton who died in the New Monkland poorhouse on October 15, 1859, aged 32. The image is very poor but I think I can just make out that she was a widow. I can't quite make out what was the cause of death but whatever it was she had been ill for 12 months before her death. She was buried in New Monkland Churchyard. The death was reported by the Governor of the Poorhouse who was unable to supply the name of her mother or the first name of her father. This may not be your Janet, of course, but such early deaths might explain why you have been unable to find the family in later censuses. Alexander may have been sent to live with relatives, or brought up in the poorhouse. I did find a certificate for a James Reid who also died in the New Monkland Poorhouse. He died in May 1856 aged 23. But according to the informant, he was single, and a pauper. And I found a James Reid, a furnace labourer, who died in Old Monkland on December 31 1858 aged 37. He was the son of Alexander Reid and Margaret McKie. Unfortunately his widow was named Isabella and not Janet (she was the informant, and her signature is on the certificate). I will send you the image of Janet Reid's death certificate off-list. Scotlands People may be able to provide a transcription for you from the original. Rhoda .

Hello Rhoda Thank you so much for the lookup ,James Reid was an Iron Foundry Labourer ,and the son Alexander Reid was at his marriage an Engineer's Driller. . I found the marriage of his Parents Marriage on IGI number M 116516 I am suspicious as it gives the date as Sep 1845. I also could not find Alexander on the 1881 census when I had Ancestry, I have let it lapse at the moment as I will be visiting Scotland on the 10th of March for two weeks . Alexander gave 68 Muslin Street Glasgow as his address on the marriage certificate , This is an address that I have Elizabeth McIntyre 's family living at but she is living on Old Dalmarnock Road Glasgow . Thank you Again Bob

Hello Bob I had a look on the Ancestry censuses for 1851 and 1861, but no luck. What was James Reid's occupation? That might help to find him on the censuses. And are you sure that Alexander father's name was 'James'? It isn't always safe to rely on the name that a bride or groom gives for their father (or mother) on their marriage certificate. My Great Grandmother gave her father's name as 'Donald' when it was 'James'.
