    3. Billy is a wonderful replacement for you,Jim. He was very supportive in the past, so let's hope he will be equally supported by those on the Lanark list this second time around. It's really too bad we have to have a change of command with your decision to move on, so again, thank you very much for your steady hand at the tiller. I'm glad you accepted Billy's offer to take over the list again, however. Maisiwe -----Original Message----- From: Jim Jackson Sent: Monday, March 10, 2014 2:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Lanark] New Administrator It is with great pleasure that I announce to you that I have passed the admin duties for the Lanark list to Billy Bravaal. He has been administrator for this list in the past and so is quite familiar with not only this particular "family" but also the details of administering Rootsweb lists. I am happy that he spoke up and offered his services and am sure you will be also. I appreciate all the kind words I have received and have enjoyed immensely being part of such a great group of folk.

    3. Maisie, Thank you for the Mitchell Library info which is very useful. I have a few that need researching. Although if you have a lot, it might pay to engage a professional researcher, whom I assume would include the cost of copies in their fee. We also need to keep in mind that poorhouse care was not always a sign of extreme poverty on the part of the applicant. Sometimes it signaled that the existing family could not provide full-time care for a seriously ill or senile parent. We all like to picture families as a working dad, a stay-at-home mom and children at school, but this was unlikely to be the case in 19th century Glasgow. Everyone in the family who could work, did work. There was seldom someone with the time to sit with an elderly relative all day. The lack of one wage could mean the difference between paying the rent or being evicted.

    3. Maisie-- I have lots of relatives who either applied for relief or entry to the Poorhouse. It wouldn't occur to me to be ashamed of them. In fact, I'm rather proud of one auntie, Flora Orr. The inspector's report on her reads in part: Husband Thomas Adams aged 33 years born 1/4/46? in North Shields, England, a Circular Sawyer. She left him in May 1875 on account of his bad treatment, for which she put him in prison and has not been with him since. Son of Robert Adams, a Policeman now a Labourer and Sarah Ann Smith, housewife, both residing at 3 Broomhall? St. Greenock. Good for you, girl! What other records would give you that bit of information? I have another auntie, who seems to have been an addled bag lady. I'm not ashamed of her, but I do have my doubts about her nice catholic family. ----------------- Application for Relief No. 1995 Mary Kinney 72 Stewart Street no. 1995 Date of Application 9/1//87 Date of Visit 11/11/87 Born at Rumford St Bridgeton Age 67 single, hawker, Religion RC Wholly Disabled. Disablement age debility Parentage: Henry Kenny, a labourer, and Elizabeth McKenzie, both dead See Record Off. 9116 Sister Mrs Fraser and her niece Mrs Patrick McMahon were stated to be living at 72 Stewart Street, Cowcaddens ["23 Muse Lane 1/2 w/o" inserted interlinearly] I have searched nearly every street in the District but can find no trace of them. First Application Parish of Settlement: Barony Particulars on Settlement So far as I have been able to gather from the old woman she has been going about the country hawking soft foods by which she earned her living and only remaining for a night or two in any one place at a time. She was very stupid from debility and was quite unable to give a statement of her residences. Since entering the Poorhouse she has got worse and is quite unable to give any account of herself. Decision She was removed in the House Van to Poorhouse 87 Dec 19, Poorhouse ---------------- She died there two years later. She wasn't the only one of my relatives to die in the poorhouse. Most people then were only one bad break away from dire poverty. Of course, even today there are places where a serious medical problem can put you into bankruptcy and even homelessness. Jim Polson Vancouver My mother, siblings and others are now dead and so they would not be "annoyed" that I found out that their forebears ended up in the poorhouse! As an aside, some of my motherŽs siblings thought they were "it," especially the one who attended the University of Glasgow and would be somewhat critical of the Glesga patter, or speech pattern! I wonder if she ever knew that her forebears were oeclientsin the oorhouse. No oral stories passed down on this part of the family history. >

    2. Maisie Egger
    3. For years I held off researching my mother’s Brown family, figuring the name would be as hard to find as a Smith. O ye of little faith, because once I began it wasn’t so hard. I decided to see what I could find out about my mother’s great-great grandfather Andrew Brown (1816-1882) further to what Lanark lister Jim Bundy found for me a few years ago. On a hunch I contacted the Mitchell library, Glasgow, and bingo! Poor soul as Andrew Brown is yet another weaver who ended up in the City Poorhouse, Glasgow. The archivist at the Mitchell could not have been more helpful, and responded to my latest correspondence by return. There is no charge for search but there is a charge of £11 for copies of documents. I’m including the information from the archivist as it could encourage others on the list to follow up on a “hard” name, such as Brown. As for confidentiality re the names: My mother, siblings and others are now dead and so they would not be “annoyed” that I found out that their forebears ended up in the poorhouse! As an aside, some of my mother’s siblings thought they were “it,” especially the one who attended the University of Glasgow and would be somewhat critical of the Glesga patter, or speech pattern! I wonder if she ever knew that her forebears were “clients” in the poorhouse. No oral stories passed down on this part of the family history. Maisie ::: Mitchell Library archivist notes: “The good news is that I have found an application made by Andrew Brown in 1882 before he entered the poorhouse. The bad news is that it isn't very detailed as it refers to an earlier application which sadly has not survived. It does confirm his age, occupation and parents' and first and second wives' names, as well as that he later died in the poorhouse. Glasgow at that time had a number of different districts each dealing with poor relief within their area. Andrew Brown had applied for relief to one of the 'City' districts, but as he was born in another district (the 'Barony') he'd applied to that district too. The later application to the City survives but not the one to the Barony. As he was born in the Barony it was actually that district that was responsible for his case, which is why the application for the City isn't particularly detailed. Unfortunately the poor relief applications for the Barony only survive from 1885. If you'd still like a copy of the application the charge would be £11.00. To go ahead please sign, complete and return the attached order form. To pay you may forward payment to me at the address below, either by cheque (payable to Culture and Sport Glasgow) or by credit/debit card by completing the attached form. Please note that we do not currently have a secure online payment system, but the form can be printed and returned as a hardcopy to the address below . Although I haven't been able to identify any possible applications for Agnes Devine or Maggie Warnock, we do hold an application made by a Thomas Brown who was born in 1797 in Anderston, and applied aged 65 in 1865. Please let me know if you'd like more details about this application also. The application does mention that he and his father were both weavers both from Anderston . We also hold records from the Anderston Society of Weavers and I'll have a search through the membership records for these and let you know if I find anything in these too.

    3. Hi All, I'd like to second Maisie's comments. My own research has been put on the back burner for now, and I've been quiet on the list for a while, but I remained subscribed on the off-chance that someone else is researching the same lines as me. I think Jim as a moderator managed to keep the balance between letting conversation flow when it was relevant and bringing it to a subtle halt when it wasn't, without being overbearing or heavy handed. I'll be sad to see you step down, Jim, but I do understand the need to focus on other matters. I'd like to thank you for the time you've put in over the last few years.

    3. To: Jim Jackson Subject: Re: [Lanark] List Available For Adoption Dear Jim, It is barely enough to voice appreciation and thanks to you for your exceptional role as administrator of the Lanark list. You brought to this position a sense of humour, even-handedness, open-mindedness and a desire to learn. You did not, to be emphasised, did not impose "sanctions" but would gently remind listers respectfully that a particular topic had run its course and to move on. Your successor has big shoes to fill, as they say. For anyone wishing to take on the vacancy as administrator of the Lanark list, perhaps it would be helpful if you were to list the rules, guidelines and limitations of the role for anyone contemplating applying for the position. Above all else, the main criteria should be "education," respect and a curbing of any desire to be heavy-handed in assessing contributions to the list. It has been a great pleasure to have you as the administrator of the Lanark list. Ya dun good! With best wishes as you move forward to attend to other aspects of your life. A benison.

    2. Judith F. Russell
    3. As always, I am looking for researchers and connections for William Martin b 24 Dec 1853 to James Martin and Elizabeth George who married (1) George Russell, (2) James Martin, and (3) Hugh Docherty. The wife of William Martin was Helen Neilson, b 24 Jul 1849 to James and Helen Fyfe Neilson. Below is an outline of the Neilson family as I've constructed it from Census and IGI material. Would be interested in hearing from others researching this family.
