All wills and testaments up to 1901 known about by the National Archives of Scotland are indexed on ScotlandsPeople. The indexes are free to view, but there is a charge for a copy of a will. Wills of people who died abroad are most likely to be recorded under Edinburgh. Also, if none of the paperwork was dealt with or generated in Scotland, there may be very little to see. I would suggest you try the Wills and Testaments section of ScotlandsPeople and, if you need to know more, seek the help of the people at NAS, who you will find are both kind and helpful.

the Tiny URL did work Bob. at least for me.. The only problem was that there were no records for those I looked for... there were records for others.though... And the trick is to actually code in Sydney New South Wales, Australia, otherwise you'll get hundreds of pages for the same name from all over the world.. Thanks for the link. I'll check back later to see if they have uploaded any more records and included mine.

Dear Gay, I'm glad to be of help. I see you have significant interests in Western Australia. Two of my wife's grandparents, Archibald Miller and Hannah Lawson, emigrated to Western Australia in 1927. They are both buried in Karrakatta cemetery. Archibald died in 1932 (kicked by a horse) and Hannah died in 1968. Kind Regards, Iain

I'll be in Glasgow in 3 weeks time and wonder if someone can let me know how to trace where the following are buried. All information is from the death certificates. Georgina Pollock-usual address Achamore Road and died Drumchapel Hospital 1986. Euphemia Lang-usual address Sunnyside Place and died Gartnavel Hospital 1998 Amelia Smith-usual address 303A Darnick Street and died Birdston Hospital, Milton of Campsie 1972. Ian

Ian Unless someone on the List has the data readily available I would check the Glasgow Obituaries in the Glagow Newspapers.

Hello The Religious Society of Friends (Scotland) has a website here http://www.quakerscotland.org/welcome You could use the "contact the webmaster" button at the bottom of the page. He/she may be able to point you in the right direction. The National Archives of Scotland in Edinburgh holds some Scottish Quaker records, including some bmd records, under ref CH10.

Either is the short answer. I can think of instances in my tree where both were true. Sometimes I can figure out who the child was and sometimes not. There were also children recorded on censuses as infant or not known first name.

Thanks Roda, I will try the Mit5chell as you have suggested. I make Glasgow fairly infrequently but I think a day there would be well-spent. They seem to have so much! The image conjured up by the Industrial Schools and their function is salutory. Before I read about them I had thought children catchers were a figment of Walt Disney's imagination, but it seems they really existed! Thanks once again, John

Thank you to all those that responded in such detail to my question about Alexander Mcbain, soldier in Glasgow in 1819 Yes, he was a soldier at the time of the marriage, but the certification of his marriage is in a civil document which was on line. He was married to a Catherine Leslie in Glasgow but they could well have come from Aberdeen or Inverness areas. I have some links to follow up for those searches. >From the info on troop movements, I would guess that that he was in the movement to Jamaica in 1824 as his second son John was born in 1833 there. That seems very logical to me. Gay you asked about the two sons. Alexander the eldest son was born in Glasgow before they travelled anywhere. I can look that birth up in the Mitchell library as we will be in Glasgow in March. There may well be other children between the two boys as that is a 14 - 15 year gap. Other children may not have come back to Britain if the parents remained overseas. It is strange that if the soldier was killed on duty that the wife did not return home to be with the sons who lived in Scotland PS. Alexander the younger is in the 1861 census in Edinburgh with some of his sons. It appears that the family had split up. Again thanks for the advice and I will continue the search My next question to put to the group is relating to the Lamb family. More on that next week.
