I was hoping to find the registers for St Marks free Protesting Church of Barony on your list Jenny, and scoured your email thoroughly. Sigh!! I now remember I have done that search before and there is nothing for me for that church... Thanks for the LDS list..of the CHURCHES OTHER THAN the ESTABLISHED Church of Scotland Cheers Gay Research Names: http://www.perthdps.com/research/fie01.html

I have been told about the Military Barracks in Gallowgate.. I am aware that the 71st Regiment of Foot was stationed in Glasgow at least in the first decade of 1800. Does anyone know whether any other regiments served in the city of Glasgow around the same time and if so when were they there? Cheers Gay Research Names: http://www.perthdps.com/research/fie01.html

Hi Jean The National Archives has Apprenticeship records,I checked some years back on my own apprenticeship with Aitchison Blair of Clydebank and it was listed..I never got around to actually ordering the records.. I was apprenticed as a Marine Engine Fitter from 1951 to 1956. The records date from ..1904-69: minutes, financial records, cost and job books, wages and apprentice records, valuation books, note books, papers. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/nra/searches/subjectView.asp?ID=B5810 Good Hunting !

Hello Anne Janet Reid M, S, Hamilton died in New Monkland Poorhouse on Oct 15th 1859, at the time of her death she was a widow of James Reid she was aged 32. While in Scotland in March I went to the Lanark Archives to look at the New Monkland Poorhouse records ,Sad to say they only had the Register when she was signed in giving a Page number of a book that they do not have. Also there is a James Reid who died in the New Monkland Poorhouse in May 1856 but his age is given as 23 ( could this be a mistake in age) Another kind person on this list found a Alexander Reid aged 13 on the 1871 census, born in the county of Lanarkshire. He was in the Mossbank Industrial School in Springburn, Glasgow. I one time found on the 1881 Canadian Census an Alexander Reid occupation Engineer aged 29 born Scotland with a wife Naomi also 29. I cannot find Alexander on the Scottish 1881 and his occupation on his Marriage to Elizabeth was Engineer's Driller. Hope this Helps Bob

I can't find an Alice, but there is a marriage of George Robb and Jean Storrie in 1842 in New Monkland. In the 1861 census index they were in Glasgow with daughters Margaret [sic - IGI has Mary Jane], 4, and Georgina, 2. George was aged 44, born Dalrymple, Ayrshire and Jane was 40, born New Monkland. No listing of any older children. The 1851 isn't on FreeCen yet. Anne

Here are the LDS Catalog pages dealing with Scotland/records.

The usual reason for gaps in the baptism registers between 1843 and 1855 is that the parents involved were adherents of the Free Church of Scotland, which broke away from the Church of Scotland in 1843. Re that reply. I have a family in the same position. I have George ROBB and Alice STORRIE who married in November 1842 at New Monkland. The two registered children that I have for them were born in 1857 and 1859. There must have been earlier children as I know they had a 26 year old grandson staying with them at the 1891 census with the surname Nichol - which suggests he was the son of a daughter.

     Does anyone have access to the 1851 census for Calton, Lanarkshire?  I received an index of this family years ago when the index was all that was available.  It didn't list the birthplace of the family members, and that is my biggest interest now.  I have never been able to find my people in 1841 census at all.      The index listed John McIntyre, abt. 34; Margaret McIntyre abt. abt. 28; Thomas McIntyre abt. 10; William abt. 5, and John abt. 3, and maybe Francis abt. 1.   Thanks,   Marc Archer Lake Odessa, MI

Find the families you seek in the 1851/1861 census which will fill in most gaps. Then go for their death registration which tells you who they married and then you can back-track and fill in the rest. Cheers!!!

The two registered children that I have for them were born in 1857 and 1859. There must have been earlier children as I know they had a 26 year old grandson staying with them at the 1891 census with the surname Nichol - which suggests he was the son of a daughter. Has anyone come across this family - perhaps through the marriage of earlier children? I would love to fill in the gaps in our tree. Doreen.

Hi Alison I suggest you try www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk. Since you know the year she was born you can get her birth certificate from them. It should show her parents names.
