Hello List On the death certificate Janet Reid ms Hamilton was a widow ,Dieing in the Poorhouse on the 17th October 1859 aged 32 . The poorhouse did not know the name of the father so entered Hamilton . They buried her in New Monkland Churchyard. She had had a Disease that I will not mention for 12 months, .

Hi again Freecen is far from complete so your target may not be on there as yet If you post the details you have perhaps we can find them for you Give the information you already have, places of birth, years of birth and where you found them in later census or documentation Also any children, when born and where Ancestry have the 1841 to 1901 census transcribed, and whilst the transcription is not the best it is quite malleable For example there are 25 James REIDs with a wife Janet in 1851 If you can identify your family you can then download the census page from scotlandspeople with the minimum of wasted cash Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Hello Anne > > I have Janet,s Death death certificate kindly provided by Rhoda several > months ago.

Hello Bob In my experience (and I have downloaded many OPR marriage records from SP) few marriage records in the OPRs include the names of parents of the bride and groom. When they do it is usually the name and occupation of the father of the bride. I have come across the latter in Edinburgh and Perthshire records.

Hi Bob The marriage is the following one? JAMES REID Marriages: Spouse: JANET HAMILTON Marriage: SEP 1845 New Monkland, Lanark, Scotland M116516 1820 - 1854 1066601, 0102960 Film 6901142 Film Pre Civil registration, there are no certificates as such, they are recorded in the Parish Register. The copy you would purchase on scotlandspeople would be a scan of the page in the Parish Register and will be all there is recorded Marriages pre civil registration do not record the parents names, in fact generally they record very little in Scotland Use the census before and after and try to find corresponding occupations, addresses etc Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Hello List > > I have just been on Scotland's People website and found a marriage I have > been seeking.

However this event is before the start of civil registration in 1855, so no marriage certificate exists.

I have several marriage entries from the New Monkland parish register between 1840 and 1850 and with one exception the wording is invariably along the following lines, "xth Sabbath. Collected from yyyy and zzzz both in this parish 19/6". The exception is ".... yyyy in this parish and zzzz in the parish of Shotts ....". The amount collected varies from 3/6 (three shillings and sixpence) to 19/6 (nineteen shillings and sixpence). I am fairly sure that the date in the original record will not actually be 1 September 1845 but just September 1845. (It is definitely NOT 9 January 1845!). I would not recommend paying money to download this particular entry from Scotland's People. > Would the above give me a copy with parents names. No. The only way you can get the names of their parents is from their death certificates, assuming of course that they died in Scotland. HTH Anne

Hello Nivard The sum total of my knowledge of James Reid and Janet Hamilton is from their son Alexander Reid's marriage Certificate of the 29th of December 1883 between Alexander Reid, aged 25 ,Engineers Driller of 68 Muslin Street Glasgow and Elizabeth McIntyre aged 25 10 Old Dalmarnock Road Glasgow, Alexander Reid 's father was an Iron Foundry Labourer .deceased and his mother was Janet Reid ms Hamilton , deceased I have the death certificate kindly supplied by Rhoda. 68 Muslin Street was Elizabeth's Mothers address who is a complicated lady, Elizabeth Hamilton formerly McIntyre MS Gillies . Elizabeth's Father was Hugh McIntyre, Tobacco Spinner I have the family after the wedding living in Polmont, Stirlingshire. Rhoda found an Alexander Reid aged 13 born Lanarkshire in the Mossbank Industrial School in 1871. That is all I know of James Reid and Janet Hamilton. I went to the Lanarkshire Archives and they did not have the Records for the Mossbank School . they had just moved to a new location and received a lot of files from the Mitchell Library.

Don't bother its not what you think. These are the kirk accounts only showing how much was collected along with everyone else. Also lists mort cloth fees and disbursements to the poor. Go for the deaths they will tell who the parents were.

Margaret, There is a 15 minute bus service between Buchanan Street Bus Station and Glasgow International Airport (not to be confused with Glasgow Prestwick 30 miles down the road in Ayrshire). When getting on the bus if you ask the driver to let you off at the bus stop nearest Central Station because generally after the bus comes off the Kingston Bridge it goes in the opposite direction to Argyll Street. From memory however it comes off the bridge on to Bothwell Street. Anywhere in Bothwell St is roughly a 10 minute walk for a fit adult dragging luggage from St Enoch's Square and the nearer to Central Station the nearer to Buchanan Street which as you know goes straight down to St Enoch's Square. I have used this bus many times to and from the airport. There is usually more than enough space to stow luggage at the front of the bus and there are specially designated seats near the front for older or disabled passengers. The drivers also tend to be very friendly and helpful. Hope this helps, Mark -----Original Message----- From: lanark-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:lanark-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Ella Ross Sent: 08 July 2010 04:08 To: lanark@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [Lanark] Fw: Transport from Glasgow Airport Hi Margaret There are many buses from the airport.

Hello List I have just been on Scotland's People website and found a marriage I have been seeking.

Another question does SKS have the parish records or access to them that could look up the marriage. Thank You In Advance Bob

Thanks everyone for your help. This is the first time we are not being 'picked up' at the airport and so I wasn't sure !!.  I never realised until I sent this question and the vegetarian food one  that they were a bit of topic.

Hi Bob, I can only offer an FYI. My ancestors were Andrew and Isabella (?) RITCHIE, probably born ~1800, but we don't know whether they were born in Scotland or Ireland. And we don't know where they married. All I know is that they had a daughter, Eliza, in 1837 in County Donegal, Ireland. We don't know about their other children at all. The related couple was William and Mary Ann (?) HANNAH and, just as above, we don't know where they were born ~1800. And, we don't know where they married. All we know is that they had a son, William, in 1828 in County Donegal, Ireland. Then William HANNAH and Eliza RITCHIE married in Glasgow in Dec. 1854/Jan. 1855. They had 2 daughters there, and then left for the USA in the summer of 1857. They came to Massachusetts and had several more children. I am descended from their 2nd daughter, Elizabeth, 3 mos. old when arriving in MA. (The first daughter did not survive childhood.) That is all I know about those couples. Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) (Elizabeth HANNAH grew up to marry William KERR who had recently come down from Canada. His grandparents had left County Sligo, Ireland in 1820's. They were part of 5 couples in the Province of Quebec. William's parents were born in Canada in 1827, and most of the family came down to Massachusetts during 1870's/1880's. The parents might have been cousins, Robert KERR and Elizabeth HENDERSON.)

Hi Bob I have a 2xGGU James Ritchie (b.22 Mar 1816, Carnwath, Lanarkshire) who married a Cecilia Watson on 01 Mar 1839 in Wiston and Roberton and lived there for about 10-15 years. If there is a link of interest I will email you direct. Cheers Ian Mair

Nivard, we appreciate that explanation....thank you B. Lewis
