Dear all It recently came to my attention that the eagerly awaited 1911 census for Scotland, due for release in Spring 2011, was somewhat different to the English, Welsh & Irish 1911 census and thought it worthwhile letting others know For the 1911 census in England, Wales & Ireland the schedules (RG14) were left with the household to be filled in by the head of household or whoever he coerced into doing it, as in previous census. The schedules (RG14) were collected by the enumerator who compiled a summary onto his forms (RG78) Anyone using the 1911 census in Eng, Wales or Ireland will know the household schedule as filled in and signed by said head of household is the actual page image you see. So I was expecting the same to apply to Scotland, however that is not the case. I have been in conversation with both the GROS and Scotlandspeople who have confirmed the following to be the situation. For reasons that no one is able to explain, in Scotland the same schedules (with subtle differences) were used for the census, however there the similarity ends, the enumerator collected them and then transcribed the schedules into books (which are apparently called RG78 in Scotland) similar to those used for 1901 and before and which we will all be familiar with, the RG14 schedules were then destroyed. So although we should get the same information that the householder entered on the form, its worth knowing its a transcript with the possibility that errors might creep in as in any transcription. The obvious fact that what we shall see is not in our ancestors hand is also disappointing The information we shall get on the census pages when they are released will be :- Address, number of houses (inhabited and uninhabited) at address, rooms in house having a window, name and surname of each person in house, total number of persons in house, relationship of each person to head of family, age and sex of each person, whether Gaelic and/or English spoken by each person, marital status, duration of marriage and children born alive and children still living (for women only), occupation and associated industry, employment status and whether working at home, birthplace, and nationality (if born outside UK).

Hi I am looking for descendants of the MITCHELL, RITCHIE, CLE(A)RKSON, FRAZER, WALKER, SYMINGTON, and LAURIE Families of Wiston & Roberton and Carmichael Parishes, Lanarkshire Scotland to share family genealogy and history. Bob M.

Thanks Ian for the delightful poem. I have printed it out for our Scottish Genealogy Group and hope to read it out with the right accent! Allison.

Thank you Ian It has been 157 years since my McDonald's left Glascow and 103 years since my Dad left Edinburgh. I have never been to Scotland, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading this poem and have saved it. Again, thank you for sharing it! Kind regards Elizabeth (in very hot, humid, Ontario, Canada)

Copy of a poem I received recently which may be of interest. Ian Glasgow Weans 50 Years Ago Ah wis born an' bred in Glesga, Aye, Glesga is ma hame, Bein' brought up in a tenement Made me a typical wean. We didnae hiv much money So ma mammy went oot tae work An' when Ah hid oan ma Sunday claes Ah darenae play in the durt. Ah didnae hiv very many toys Like the weans a' hiv the day, Ma pals were happy girls an' boys Wi' lots o' games tae play. We played at cowboys an' indians, We played at hide an' seek. When we counted tae 100 nice an' fast An' ye wirnae allowed tae peek. Then we'd tie some string through two tin cans An' we'd put them oan oor feet An' stomp like something frae outer space Right up an' doon oor street. There wis doublers, ropes, an' kick the can, We played rounders roon the back Then we'd sit oan tap o' the midden Tellin' ghost stories till it goat dark. We'd walk tae the pictures matinee Oan a Setterday afternoon, Where a man came oot tae make us a' sing An' wave hankies in time tae the tune. We booed an' cheered at the Westerns, The Three Stoogies made us a' laugh, Then came the cartoons - Mickey Mouse an, Popeye - Tae make up the hours an' a half We ate toffee apples an' candy cakes An' chewed oan liquorice sticks, Soor plooms that pul't yir jaws right in, Dry wafers - a penny for six. We read the Beano an' Dandy, Oor Wullie an' The Broons, We even hid back court concerts, Tap dancin' tae popular tunes. In this rhyme Ah've tried tae turn back the clock Tae aboot fifty-odd years ago, Tae paint a picture o' whit life wis like For a wean in old Glasgow When there wisnae a word like junkie An' naebody that Ah knew sniffed glue. Today Ah jist cannae help thinkin' Whit's happenin' tae Glesga weans noo?

Hi Folks, The Militia recruitment of eligible males in the catchment area resulted from being balloted in order to fill the required recruitment quota. As a result, if you're very lucky, you might find the list of names of the eligible males. Some of these are held in the National Archives of Scotland and, since they stem from long before detailed census records, you can find info about individuals which probably doesn't exist anywhere else. Surviving Miltia records exist in all sorts of archives: some are in military/regimental museums, some in NAS, some in Kew, others in local libraries and private collections, so you have to be prepared to dig long and hard. If an individual who had been drawn in the ballot could afford to pay the fee, he could appoint a substitute in his place and a "grapevine" sprung up among former army men, who were greatly prized since they were already familiar with military drill and discipline. In this way, the better-off young men of the district could escape the draft. Serving militiamen were paid a wage plus living allowances when not in barracks. Their wives were also paid an allowance for each child aged under 10 and the application documents for this Militia Aid provide a lot of information about the man, his wife and family. Miltiamen were employed as civil or military police, often guarding prisoners of war or returming deserters to their regiments. They were not supposed to serve outwith the UK, but on rare occasions this happened. The prospect of a regular income for the 6-year service period appealed to many men and, in addition, meant they couldn't be press-ganged into involuntary service in the Navy.

Further Thoughts ... ! Since 'dissenters' [ members of the non-conformist Churches ] would not necessarily have their family baptisms recorded in the Established Church's 'Parish Registers (unless there were property inheritances involved) then the 'Militia pool' of elegible men (by age) would , in times of low numbers, be tempted to call on families to fight against their own !

Hi Jim & Folks ... I think this was the result of the 'Militia Acts' .... which imposed the enlistment of men of a certain age in a force being raised to suppress the 'dissenting' elements who might be encouraged by the French Revolution etc. It was a force raised by the nobility to discourage the rebellion of the masses - who had no vote - against their 'betters' in the period of poor harvests, distrust of the Scots in general and the approach of the Reform Act .... This Militia ( 'Territorial Army' ) later became the Lanarkshire Yeomanry ... Loss of a young working man would have meant ruin to families of the period ... Session Clerks and Schoolmasters resented being turned into recruiters !!! GGR

Hi Margaret I presume you mean a Stirling list? To see if there is a list (and there usually is) go to http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ Select Mailing Lists from the top bar menu Enter the search criteria in the lower box (the upper box is for searching the archives) (remember there are many surname lists that have similar names such as STIRLING) The following is probably the one you want http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/SCT/SCT-STIRLINGSHIRE.html It is always worth checking the list archives before posting, there may be someone researching the same interests (enter search in the upper of the two boxes after selecting mailing lists from the top bar menu as above) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > > Does anyone know if there is a STIRLING NEWSGROUP? > hanks > > Margaret Ontario
