Hi Tricia, You're right in your supposition: New Ed Rd is indeed New Edinburgh Road, Uddingston and, while it still exists, so much has changed in the vicinity in the last 109 years. Brookesby is not a neighbourhood name, so it must have been the name of the house. I'll take a walk tomorrow and have a look at the names on the Victorian houses known locally as West Cottages. All the other buildings along New Ed Rd from the 1901 have disappeared, so fingers crossed.

His name was Walter Paterson, and he is listed in the census as living at "Brookesby, New Ed Rd", Uddingston, Bothwell, Lanarkshire. There is no house number given. I am thinking that "New Ed Rd" is an abbreviation for New Edinburgh Rd. Does anyone know where would I find property records (property taxes, deeds, etc.) for this property? I am coming to Scotland in June for a visit, and would like to be able to find out more.

Hi there ... To search for 'property transactions' ( purchase, sale, lease, mortage ) at that period should be fairly easy ... You will need to visit either Hamilton or Lanark library - to consult the 'Sasine Abstracts' which are, I think, indexed by Persons and Places at that time ... The Abstracts contain a registration date, the names of the people involved, and a brief description of the land etc involved. They also have a Reference number which will let you ( should you have time to visit the GRO in Edinburgh ) find and get a copy of the Transaction Deed or document which will include layout plan etc. You can also order the copy remotely ... Maps ( large scale ) of the area can be viewed via the National Library of Scotland Maps Section website and copies obtained if required. This assumes that the property was 'owned' , and not part of a short term rental ... G Russell Carluke, S. Lanarkshire
