Hello: I've tracked the family of James Chalmers (b. abt 1817 Torphichang, Linlithgow) and Mirrion Russell Chalmers (b. 1822, d/o John and Margaret McAlpine Russell) in the 1851, 61, 71 Census material with addresses on Gallowshill Road and Sharnotshields Farm, Cambusnethan. In 1881 the family is still at Sharnothshield farm, but the mother seems to have re-married with new last name White. Children of the family were: Ann (b 1844), Margaret (1847), David (1849), William (1851), James (1856), Marion (1858), Margaret (1860), and John 1863. I would be interested in hearing from others researching this family and would be glad to exchange information. My line descends from Mirrion Russell's brother George Russell who married Elizabeth George abt 1842. Judy Russell Bogart, Georgia, USA
Thank you Archie; I now have a lot clearer idea of what happened, I really do appreciate the help.

Thank you, Great information, that does help a lot.

(Clipped)The roads from the 18th C that connected most major Towns in Scotland were constructed as 'toll roads' - paid for by the local 'Heritors' or landowners, jointly, who were responsible for their upkeep and repair - surface and drains etc plus bridges over streams and rivers ( though they were often erected separately by public subscription )
I am sure I have somewhere a book I bought at Angus Archives about toll houses. Whilst this covers only that county it does have some interesting material in it. Dave Smith
Hi Listers, If anyone is going to the GRO/Scotlands People Centre I would greatly appreciate it if SKS could do a look up for 3 births same family for me please, I have names, year and GROS numbers, but the image is not available on line...just need address, informant and Parents.

Hi All Once again the members of the Lanark Rootsweb Mail list have come through big time. It is really too bad that this information that people so kindly provided could not be shared with the other Scotland mail lists. It was very similar to my inquiry about mole catchers some time ago, they do not stop at the Lanark border. Well perhaps sometime in the future it will get passed on to other areas. In any event THANK YOU EVERYONE, I GOT MAPS, PHOTOGRAPHS, INFORMATION GALORE. I will be in contact with some of you off line. Regards Frank Easton Sherwood Park Alberta Canada +5c
You can often recognise toll cottages because many of them have windows set at an angle of 45 degrees to the direction of the road, and/or the main walls of the house, so that the toll keeper had a good view of any approaching traffic. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/919033 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/717854 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/281598 are just some examples.

Hi there ! The roads from the 18th C that connected most major Towns in Scotland were constructed as 'toll roads' - paid for by the local 'Heritors' or landowners, jointly, who were responsible for their upkeep and repair - surface and drains etc plus bridges over streams and rivers ( though they were often erected separately by public subscription ) Contractors would be appointed to construct them, and 'roadmen' were employed to maintain them by filling up the holes etc in winter, clearing drains and shifting horse manure etc into piles in little stone 'laybys' (for stuff that was 'laid by' i.e. put aside 'til later). To use these roads, and especially to carry 'goods' over them a Toll would have to be paid - the sum depending on the goods ( coal, manure, timber etc or cattle, sheep and so on being herded ) and the wagon loads involved. These Tolls would be set (annually) - by the Heritors or the Toll keeper I can't remember. Each year at a fixed time, the Heritors would put the right to charge these Tolls up for public auction - but of course they (alone) knew what their usual outgoings were, and so would always attempt to profit from it. The Toll Keepers were usually 'experienced' Inn Keepers - who may have bid for the franchise for several Tolls in an area - and if they overbid for a Toll, and then couldn't recover the let plus their profit from the tolls, then it was their loss !. The Heritors would at the end of the Auction, have raised the funds to spend on the road's upkeep. The first edition Ordnance Survey maps ( of the 1850s) show the position of these Toll points - often chains over the road, and a wee house for the Toll Keeper or his employee to watch out and operate the chain or barrier. As I remember, both the Toll houses you mention are still there - though now converted and extended in at least one case (Carmichael, on the edge of Thankerton Moor) The Avon Bridge one is a ruined shell. You can view these on the First Edition OS maps on the National Library of Scotland website, in the maps collection and use Google Maps to see them as they are today ... GGR
Hello Frank, Yes, toll keepers did move around. I have James Whyte & wife Jane Callan, both from Crawfordjohn, who were at Jarg Toll, West Calder in 1851, Roundy Hill Toll, Glamis in 1861, and Jane widowed at the Toll House, Eassie & Nevay in 1871. Interestingly, Jane was the toll keeper, not her husband. Janet

Frank, In the old days, before roads were built or maintained, they were just rough tracks following the easiest route between two places. When the landowners got fed up taking all day to travel 10 miles in great discomfort, they paid to construct a half decent road. In order to recover their money, and maybe make some profit too, they installed a gate which could only be opened by the Toll Keeper who lived in a wee hoose next to the gate and he collected the monies due.The practice gradually was replaced when local authorities took over road building and maintenance.My GrGrandfather and then his son lived at Gunsgreen Toll near West Calder, which still stands, and the old lamp bracket for lighting the gate when somebody was travelling in the dark is still on the gable wall. Hope this sheds some light for you !!

Hello Judith, It is your choice whether you record them or not. However, if you choose to, you click on 'Spouse' under the husband's details, then 'Create a new spouse' and enter the children from that marriage. My FTM is an earlier version so it could be a little different! Hope that helps, Lorraine. ----- Original Message ----- From: Judith To: lanark@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2010 11:46 AM Subject: [Lanark] Recording children of 2nd marriage if they are notdescendants? Hi Listers, I am interested to know how or if you record the children of a second marriage where those children are not descendants in the family tree? I have a rellie who married, the couple had three children then she died. The husband then remarried and had several more children with the second wife. His children from his first marriage are direct descendants in my tree but the children from the second marriage whilst not direct descendants are still half siblings to the children of the first marriage. Do you record them, and if so what format do you use? I use FTM 15.
