Hello listers, My family research surnames are CHRISTIE and DICK. William CHRISTIE married Ann DICK at Colinton - proclaimed 13 May 1768. There is a Blotter entry at St. Cuthbert's, Edinburgh on 21 January 1771 - this was the date that their second child, Janet, was baptised. I am trying to find the baptisms of William and Ann and also their parents. William CHRISTIE was a mason in Edinburgh. Their children were: William 1769, Janet 1771, Anne 1772, John 1774, Walter 1777, Janet 1779, James 1781. These children were all baptised St. Cuthberts but I wondered if there was any mention of these children in the Colinton OPRs and whether there were other CHRISTIE and DICK famillies. The first four children were born Broughton, Walter was born Lauriston and the last two Bristro Street, Edinburgh and Potterow, Edinburgh. Witnesses to the baptisms of the children were: Walter CHRISTIE, mason, Kirkbraehead Archibald DICK, groom to the Earl of Leven James GRAY, Fountainbridge Walter CHRISTIE, mason, Cannonbridge (probably the same as above) William PORTEOUS, Portsburgh Robert GARLAND, gardener, Broughton Robert GRILLOW, gardener, Broughton Archibald DICK, farmer, Broughton William FORREST, gardener, Lauriston Peter CHRISTIE, merchan?, Portsburgh James HOG, student of divinity in the university Archibald DICK, gardener on Leith Walk James CHRISTIE, mason New Town. Archibald DICK was godfather a few times so it is possible that he is the brother of Ann DICK Walter CHRISTIE was godfather a couple of times and there is a Peter CHRISTIE so they may be brothers of William CHRISTIE. Does someone have access to the OPRs of Colinton and who could help me, please? Many thanks, Carole, Kent, UK -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.

I'm hoping someone on the list can advise me on my lost Donnellys in the 1871 census and the missing father, James Donnelly, still in the 1881. I've tried lateral searches of all known family of Bridget to see if they were living elsewhere but no luck. I've searched both the Lanark and the West Lothian records, since the family seemed to move between these counties to no avail. I am going to send this same post to the West Lothian (Midlothian) list. I have been searching scotlandspeople for both this family for quite a while, in vain, and have spent a fortune for naught so far. Any James Donnelly that I find in the 1881 is either a border or lodger and there is no evidence in the enumeration that can support that he might be "mine" Since I've exhaused any ideas, I'd be most grateful for any suggestions. Thank you, Brigid DONNELLY (surname variations Donnolly, Donelly, Donnely, Donly, Donlay, Donnaly, Donally, Donely, Donoley, Dennely, Dunnelly, Donneley, Downely James, born about 1829, Ireland, iron miner Bridget, born about 1837, Ireland, m.s.

Bridget and her sons are found living with a sister of Bridget's. Bridget is listed as married, the sister is listed as widowed, which was her true state in 1881. There is no sign of James Donnelly in the 1881 that I can prove, but since Bridget is not listed as widowed, I'm still searching for him. I know he was deceased by the 1884 marriage of his son James, but I can't find a death certificate for him anywhere either.

Hello, I hope that everyone is well. I have hit a brick wall in my research and I'm hoping that someone on the list serve might be able to help me. I am looking for any information on the ancestors, descendants or relatives of Thomas Shade a tabaconnist who was living in Fenchurch London in the early 1800s. He had two brothers and a sister. I don't know anything about the sister however the two brothers Walter and William died late 1700s early 1800s. How they died I don't know but they were living in the Caribbean on the Island of Carriacou a dependency of Grenada. I know that the Shades are from Scotland and I also know that the planters of Carriacou had hired Scottish ship builders to build sloops for them and many ended up settling in Carriacou. My great-grandmother was Agnes Shade and she was born in Carriacou in the middle of the 1800s. I look forward to hearing from anyone who might be able to tell me anything and or give me some pointers because I'm not getting very. Thanks and all the best for 2008! Philip Thorne NYC-USA

Hi Karen Downie and fellow list members. My mental antennae twitch at any mention of Thomsons in Edinburgh in the early C19! I have reached a dead end in tracing the family of one James Thomson whose army papers record a d.o.b. of March 31, 1810 in Edinburgh. After the 1841 English census I have traced his life and career - but haven't tracked him in OPRs or any Scottish source. He rose through the ranks in the Royal Artillery - primarily in the UK but also seeing service in Spain and ending his career as a Major. In one English census (1851) his place of birth is given as Edinburgh St Cuthberts. Other relevant info is that some of his children were baptized into the Presbyterian church, others into the Church of England. I understand a little of Scottish naming conventions of the time so it may be relevant that his children were: James Robert THOMSON (1836- ) George THOMSON (1839- ) Ellen Jane THOMSON (1841- ) Charles THOMSON (1842- ) Janet (on some documents Jennet) Anderson THOMSON (1845-1884) William THOMSON (1847- ) Henry Alexander James THOMSON (1851-1897) Martha Elizabeth THOMSON (1857-1933) George Alexander THOMSON (1859-aft1928). If there's anything her that connects to Karen Downie's tree - or anyone else's, do please mail me ALASTAIR THOMSON (GG Grandson of James Thomson b. 1810))

Thanks Bob, for taking the time to give advice. it is the occupations and apprenticeship records I am interested in. Would family search have anything on that? eg do they have lists of apprentices etc? I am in country NSW, and work full time so not a lot of opportunity to get to a Latter Day Saints centre (and unfortunately the nearest one closes for the same month I have mm xmas hols, which is why I am trying to do a bit now. [as I mentioned in my previous request, I have already got all the bmds from Scotland,, All paid through Scotland's people. That included all the old parish records.- and I did list the names above and date of 1700s for Midlothian. What else should I have done?] previous message included "So far I have used Scotland's people for census and bmd. but wish to look for information in the 1700s.

Marg, Best bet for starters is your local FHC and discuss it with the research staff (assuming you have a local FHC and people with the knowledge). There are over 360 birth entires in the Vital Records Data for Skead* from Scotland, of which 284 are prior to 1800 and 50 of them for Midlothian Sct. You can located your local FHC at: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHC/frameset_fhc.asp Note : Always wise to list the names, place, dates, in your List message if possible, then other could help maybe they already have the information Have a great day Bob Cdn. ======================================== [email protected] wrote:SNIP>...So far I have used Scotland's people for census and bmd. but wish to loo for information in the 1700s. ==========================================

Helo Listers, I am looking for a FULTON family, said to have lived at (possibly number 2) Princes St Edinburgh, but amy have moved to England ( as I have a photograph of William & his parents taken in England) or India prior to migration to Aust about 1852-1855. I have not been able to find them in 1841 or 1851 census records for England or Scotland. Nor have I found any baptisms or marriages . They were were buried as Church of Scotland & Free Church od Scotland. Family legend has it that a Miss Bell married a Mr Fulton at some stage & many of the family retain Bell as a middle name. The family who went to Aust were William Bell 1816 & his wife Isabella 1810 & children Barbara 1839, Mary Ann Bell1841, Isabella 1843 & William Bell 1847. Isabella was William's second wife as Mary Ann is referred to as a half sister to William. May thanks for any help, Yvonne
