Hi, The Lindsay family you posted the 1891 census of, is one of my lot. John Lindsay, Father B. 1858, Cambusnethan Agnes [Calder Merrilees], Mother B. 1862, Leith children (Born in Hamilton) Andrew 1880 Robert 1882 Katherine 1885 John 1887 Agnes 1889 Mary Ann 1891 Janet 1893 I have their full census records to 1901. Andrew followed the rest of the larger Lindsay family into coal mining, as did his two eldest sons, John probably did, but like I said, I have no information on him after 1901. John is the 3rd son of Andrew Lindsay, second youngest son of George Lindsay and Janet Gold. For whom we have a large number of descendants, of 11/12 children who appear to have survived, we have marriages for 10 of them, including all the boys 9/12 (8 marriages, one died young) John's eldest brother, George, went to Illinois, USA, where he died in 1929. Of John's siblings - 9 altogether. We have deaths for 4 of them, and a contact on one of the women's lines of that particular family. Dean Scapolo. LINDSAY, LAMBIE, BOYD, HADDOW.

Hi Dean, Whether these families are related I have no idea, they are found on 2 separate family lines in my family. My earliest LINDSEY / LINDSAY is found in Cambuslang. Agnes mar. c1793 to Francis GIB / GIBB, she died Jun 1850 and was buried Jun 1850 in the Churchyard Cambuslang. --------- My next family of LINDSAY was John LINDSAY occ. Coalminer b c1800 ??, d c1826 mar. 1820 Rutherglen to Rebecca WILSON b 1800 Rutherglen d 1883 Rutherglen. Children found: Archibald c1827 mar. 1845 Rutherglen to Elisabeth KIRKWOOD George b 1823 Rutherglen ?? John Dickison b 1825 mar. 1855 Rutherglen to Catherine McFARLANE Children on 1861 census were Agnes and Archibald. The 1851 census gives both of the following in Dalry, Ayrshire Archibald Lindsay Lodger 23 Male Ironstone Miner Rutherglen, Lanark John Lindsay Lodger 26 Male Ironstone Miner Rutherglen, Lanark Rebecca is enumerated as MUIR in the 1841 census. No evidence of marriage found. In 1851 she is enumerated as her maiden surname of WILSON then marries Nov 1851 in Airdrie to Alexander COOK. Does any of this info look familiar?
