A wild guess but could it be "Lost at Sea" ? Peoples names were often recorded on headstones even though their bodies were not interred in the plot. My reasoning - nevig = never and maros = marine (sea). Just guessing! Violet Sent from my iPad

No idea. Is it from a photo? Is it a photo that can be looked at online?

Hi Lindsey Is this your man in 1881 ? 1881 Scotland Census about Robt Mackie Name: Robt Mackie Age: 62 Estimated birth year: abt 1819 Relationship: Visitor Gender: Male Where born: Ireland Registration Number: 628 Registration district: Cambusnethan Civil Parish: Cambusnethan Town: Wishaw County: Lanarkshire Address: Hill St. Livingstone'S Square Occupation: Labourer ED: 16 Household schedule number: 89 LINE: 17 Roll: cssct1881_207 Household Members: Name Age Eliz Brown 38 Agnes B Brown 10 Eliz Brown 8 Chas Brown 5 Robt Brown 2 Martha Mackie 23 Robt Mackie 62 Jas Mackie 24 Source Citation: Parish: Cambusnethan; ED: 16; Page: 20; Line: 17; Roll: cssct1881_207.

I didn't find him past 1881 like you On Scotlandspeople, if you look at statutory deaths, surname MACKIE with variants selected, year of birth 1820 +/- 2 years, years of death 1881 to 1891 there are two hits You need to spend a credit to get the two results What I usually do is to broaden the scope of years to encompass as wide a mark as gets 25 hits, as you are using one credit you may as well get as much as you can for it Sometimes just the surname can get the required results for a page of 25 The two results may or may not be yours, you have to spend to go further, which of course is the sites aims, to get as much out of the customers wallet as they can Thats not to say that scotlandspeople isn't useful, it is, greatly, but use the free searches and any other means to try and make sure you get as much as you can without wasting any more credits than is necessary Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 23/07/2014 18:13, lafinken via wrote: > Can someone tell me who is familiar with Scotland's people, > when I input the Mackey surname which is the best choice "Wildcard" or other > to come up with the man I want. > > Robert MacKay, Mackey, Mackie born in Ireland abt 1820 can't find him past 1881 census > > I have been trying to locate his death in Lanark as that is where all his children were. > > Is is best to look in statutory registers?? > > His wife is buried in Cambusnethan, but I would need his parents names I guess to see if he is in there too. > > THank you > > Lindsey

Hi ????? Scotlandspeople are the only online presence with the census page images You search for your people, get the transcript, then get the image I use both Ancestry and Findmypast who both have transcripts for the 1841 to 1901 census of Scotland to test theories and hopefully keep wasted credits to a minimum Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 23/07/2014 18:50, lafinken via wrote: > Hi question on whether or not when you look up a census record on scotland's people, > can you see the actual handwritten page of information or is it a transcribed version? > > Thanks

Hi question on whether or not when you look up a census record on scotland's people, can you see the actual handwritten page of information or is it a transcribed version? Thanks

Can someone tell me who is familiar with Scotland's people, when I input the Mackey surname which is the best choice "Wildcard" or other to come up with the man I want. Robert MacKay, Mackey, Mackie born in Ireland abt 1820 can't find him past 1881 census I have been trying to locate his death in Lanark as that is where all his children were. Is is best to look in statutory registers?? His wife is buried in Cambusnethan, but I would need his parents names I guess to see if he is in there too. THank you Lindsey

I am not sure but trying to decipher a headstone phrase. Nevig Maros Am I close does it mean something? Looks like all capital letters. Thanks Lindsey

In fact my people are in NEW Monkland Cemetery and I don't know the difference. Perhaps you could advise on the OLD versus the NEW of the two (no rhyming intended). Just in case they are the same: My Great Grandfather: Daniel Macdonald b.1846 at Stornoway, Ross & Cromarty. d.26/1/1920 in Airdrie and was buried in NEW Monklands Cemetery. My Great Grandmother: Mary Livingston b.1851 at Duntocher, Old Kirkpatrick, Dumbartonshire d.24/5/1931 i Airdrie and buried in NEW Monklands Cemetery.

Old (or West) Monkland and New (or East) Monkland are two separate and mutually exclusive parishes in the County of Lanark (aka Lanarkshire). They are next to one another a few miles east of Glasgow. Originally they were a single parish known as Monkland, but they were disjoined in 1640. The name is because in early times the land was owned by the monks of Newbattle Abbey. You won't find them on a modern map, because they don't show parishes any longer, but the main town in New Monkland is Airdrie and the main town in Old Monkland is Coatbridge, which you can find on maps. The main burial ground in New Monkland is at Glenmavis, a mile or so north of Airdrie. There is the old kirkyard surrounding the parish kike, and next to it is a large cemetery. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NS7567 There are smaller kirkyards at Wellwynd in Airdrie and at Clarkston, and a Roman Catholic Cemetery. I'm not so much au fait with the burial grounds in Old Monkland, though I know my gggparents are buried in Gartsherrie Kirkyard there. The parish kirkyard, with a vast cemetery alongside, is just north of the main A8 Glasgow to Edinburgh road and south-west of Coatbridge. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NS7163 HTH Anne

Good morning Margaret Apart from the odd mention in papers or passed down through the family (although that can often be wrong) about the only way to get cause of death is with the death registration under civil registration For pre civil registration, rarely is cause of death mentioned, on occasion if there were a batch of deaths the minister might have noted it but its rare Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 17/07/2014 01:06, Margaret McNab via wrote: > I recently installed FTM 2014 onto my new lap top with window 8.

If anybody in the group is chasing inscriptions for Old Monklands Cemetery headstones. I have the CD in my possession and happy to look up inscriptions. Regards John Elliott. Melbourne Australia.. (Researching Elliot , Elliott , Weir, 1841 - 1851)

I recently installed FTM 2014 onto my  new lap top with window 8. I have transferred the information from FTM 2006 on my old lap top.  It is different but I am going to persevere and hope I can get used to it.  I have  not been able to find the Cause of Death on any of my people. Any one any idea where I can look.  Thank You   Margaret Ontario

-----Original Message----- From: Linda Reid Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2014 8:07 AM To: Marjorie Stuart Subject: Re: FW: [Lanark] Mormon migration from Scotland The LDS have produced a CD called "Mormon Immigration Index" that has details on the voyages of ships chartered by the LDS Church. It includes lists of the passengers on the specific voyages and provides an official summary of each voyage. If journals kept by individual passengers have been identified, they are digitized on the CD as well. I think some of this information is available on a BYU site. Many ships in the early 1850s sailed to New Orleans. From there the passengers transferred to river boats (arranged by the Church) and sailed up the Mississippi River to St. Louis. Many continued their journey by transferring to another river boat to continue up the Mississippi or go up the Missouri River (it depended on the year). The Church arranged the embarkation point for the wagon trains and it varied by year. Many didn't get any further than St. Louis for various reasons: illness, ran out of money, change of heart etc. Some travelled westward in a subsequent year. My people crossed the Atlantic and got as far as St. Louis in 1853 but didn't cross the plains until 1856. Details on the wagon trains are available on Mormon Overland Travel. https://www.lds.org/search?lang=eng&query=overland+travel+database Linda Feel free to share this On 2014-07-13 2:23 PM, Marjorie Stuart wrote: > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of marg o'leary > Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2014 7:26 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Lanark] Mormon migration from Scotland > > > Hi all > > this question is not specific to Lanark, wondering about the Mormon Missions > > in SCotland and the Mormon migration to USA in 1850s. > > > Wondering if anyone can advise where to go to sort out this problem. > > Looking for Scottish ancestors of an Australian soldier William Beith who > died in > world war 1. > > His grand parents Robert and Barbara Beith of Campbeltown Argyll in Scotland > migrated to USA at the same time their son Daniel came to Australia in the > 1850s.

I was digging around a link for Dungannon for any clues on Patrick Skiffington, Donaghmore, Co. Tyrone. I had been led to believe that the church records in Donaghmore could be held in Dungannon. Still no luck, but I got a chuckle as I tried to visualise the follow-up effects of this marriage announcement. Maisie :::February 13 1830 On Thursday last, at Dungannon, by the Rev. Dr. Muldoon, P.P., MR. ARTHUR MALONE, of Aharan, county Tyrone, to MISS ALICIA CAMPBELL, of Tully O'Donnell. After the ceremony the happy pair retired to the seat of a friend to spend their honeymoon:::

I believe a few years ago a Jim helped me with a burial in this graveyard for Jane Lindsay Mackie. MacKay. If he or someone could check for an Elizabeth Lindsay Hamilton, wife of James, daughter of John LIndsay and Mary Crawford Lindsay, sometime between 1860-1874 I would be most grateful. Thank you Lindsey

In the 1861 Census for Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Blythswood, there was a James Alexander, age 21, born Blairlogie, and was a cabinet maker. He was living with Janet Cowan age 53 and another Janet Cowan, probably a daughter. My belief is that this James was the son of James Alexander and Janet McLachlane. Looking to confirm his parents and what happened to James after 1861.

Marg, There are some films in the Family Search Library that list some of the Mormon members - at least there are some for Paisley. It's been so long since I looked at that I can't remember what info is there. I THINK it listed family groups. Do you have Family History Centre anywhere near you? The film that I looked at for Paisley was #104155. I think I found it by looking for "Church records", "Record of Members" or "Scottish Mission". If you can get to a FHC perhaps one of the more knowledgable volunteers could help you better than I. There may be nothing for Argyll, but it's worth a try.

Wondering if anyone can advise where to go to sort out this problem. Looking for Scottish ancestors of an Australian soldier William Beith who died in world war 1. His grand parents Robert and Barbara Beith of Campbeltown Argyll in Scotland migrated to USA at the same time their son Daniel came to Australia in the 1850s. Robert and Barbara both b abt 1814 (and a lot of Roberts born abt that time and place.) My problem to solve is - they left Liverpool on a Mormon migration ship in 1850s, and were in the USA census in 1860 in St Louis Missouri, but vanished after that. I need to find their death or other info to establish their parents. I have written to both the Argyll list and one Mormon interest list (HANDCART) but they were unable to help. I somehow imagine the Latter day saints would have information about people they recruited and who may have continued with them, and also if they were sent somewhere else as missionaries. And is there any repository in Scotland that might have information. Can anyone suggest where to go from here? To find what happened to Robert and Barbara? regards Marg OLeary Port Stephens NSW
