Hello, My GGGGrandfather, William Craig, was born 10 Dec 1810 in Edinburgh, Scotland. When searching on IGI, I found a William Craig to 02 DEC 1810 in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland to a David Craig and a Jane Gordon . The same David Craig and Jane Gordon had a son John Craig born 17 JUN 1808 in Edinburgh and a daughter Jean Wallace Craig born 20 AUG 1802 in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland. Due to the many similarities in my records and those of this family in the IGI, I am pretty sure that David Craig and Jane Gordon are the parents of my William Craig. Can anyone verify these birth (or christening?) records: William Craig born (or christened?) 02 DEC 1810 in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland John Craig born 17 JUN 1808 in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland Jean (or Jane) Wallace Craig born 20 AUG 1802 in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland Stefan Ramonat

Hi Daryl, Hope this can be of some help. 1841 census for Stow shows a Christian HISLOP (female) could be Christina but been mispelt, age 14, living in Brockhouse working as a servant for a William Purves (an agricultural labourer). There is also an Andrew Stevenson aged 15 working as a manservant to a Margaret Darling in Bower. If these are the right people they would have been quite young when they married. The 1851 census for Stow shows: Andrew Stevenson aged 27 head M Ag.Lab born:MLN Edinburgh Address Stow Old Mill Mary Stevenson aged 5 DA F scholar born: MLN Stow William Stevenson aged 3 SO M born: Stow Jeanie Stevenson aged 1 DA F born: Stow Again Christina is shown as Christian Hislop age 23 F WIFE born MLN Stow Address Stow Old Mill (head of household Stevenson) but may have been visiting family when the cesus was taken or recorded under maiden name. Hope you can make use of this Ruth.

Mary and legarthm et al, No Joseph HISLOP anywhere, nor Euphemia, though I am very interested in the surnames HISLOP and STEVENSON from the Stow and Channelkirk / Edinburgh areas since my GG-Grandmother was: Christina (Christiana) HISLOP, married to Andrew STEVENSON on 30 May 1845 at Stow, Midlothian, Scotland. So: - Christina HISLOP b 3 Dec 1826 in Stow (lots of effort in this so any confirmation gratefully received) m 30 May 1845 Stow d 21 Aug 1891 age 64 of Willington Quay, NBL Her parents: - married 27 Oct 1809 at Stow, were William HISLOP (father William HISLIP and mother Janet YELLOWLEES, married Channelkirk 31 July 1773) and Mary HENDERSON (James HENDERSON and Janet DICKSON, married Kelso 3 Jun 1763) And my brick wall is Andrew STEVENSON, her husband, m 30 May 1845 Stow. IGI and census data give differing ages - IGI says born 1826 in Edinburgh, Scotland. - 1901 Census: - Andrew STEVENSON 82yo born in Edinburgh, Scotland, is listed as being part of the household of his son James STEVENSON b.1866 which makes him born 1819+-1. I lean to 1826 but neither year has the name in that year in Edinburgh, so I am reduced to guessing, even after extensive research on scotlandspeople.gov.uk.

Dear Listers, One of my grandfather's brothers accidentally died in 1913 from a dose of poison. Would thee have been an Inquest regarding this death? I have his death certificate and there are notes in the margin which make me believe there might have been one. Could somebody help me with his matter please. Where would I ask for such a document?

Hello, my name is Mike /Michael Morris. I was born in Bristol England and brought up in Manchester during the war. Most of my family are from the northwest of England with some in Scotland and Ireland. I moved to Toronto Canada in 1963 with my wife Eileen and two children. Presently I am researching my great great grandparents. John and Emma ATKIN. John ATKIN a Journeyman Goldbeater by trade. Born 1841 Salford, Lancashire, England. During the 1891 census John resided at #24 Glasgow Road, Rutherglen, (Tenement flat #11 of 11) Glasgow Scotland. At the time of his death at age 57, in April of 1899, John's address was listed as 11 Allen street, Bridgestone, in the Borough of Glasgow Scotland. Emma (Nee JONES) ATKIN born 1842 Salford, Lancashire, England. Died in 23 Regent street, Rutherglen, Scotland, the 13th of Dec 1906. I gather this is about 5 miles south of Glasgow. My Atkin family appeared in Scotland on three occasions. The 1891 Glasgow census lists the family as resided at #24 Glasgow Road, Rutherglen (Tenement flat #11 of 11) Glasgow Scotland. The children were. Thomas b1862 England Matilda b1867 Salford Lancashire Sarah b1871 Cannongate Edinburgh. Annie b1873 Glasgow Jane b1875 Salford Lancashire Albert b1882 England Florrie b1886 England Matilda ATKIN married in Manchester John William SPENCER (my great grandparents) in August 1889. They resided in Manchester during the 1891 census. Then moved to the Glasgow area. Possibly to be closer to mum and dad :)) They lived at the following addresses. 61 Cathcart Rd. Rutherglen near Glasgow Scotland in 1893 at the time of a daughters birth. 36 Scott St. Glasgow, District of Bridgeton Scotland at the time of another daughters birth in 1895. Hopefully there is a list member researching these same families. Or might come across them in the 1901 census. All my best wishes in your own search.

In 1843 my ancestors William EDWARDS and Janet/Jessie BRODIE were married in Aberdeen But according to the 1871 census of Newcastle upon Tyne, two of their children were born in Edinburgh en route presumably between Aberdeen and Newcastle/ I am looking for Elizabeth Edwards b. about 1852 and William b. about 1850, both listed as having been born in Edinburgh. Anyone have any ideas on where I can start? The Scotlands People online service have no entries in these names, with the correct parents. The IGI have no entries either. The parents were married by " a dissenting minister" so presumably they were not Church of Scotland. Val Roper, Bahrain (no resources except to the internet!)

Hi List, Hope some can help with a look up of the 1861 census for Loanhead / Lasswade for the family name of Smart. Thanks Barb.

I am looking for Elizabeth HISLOP she & James SCOTT, had a child, Euphemia SCOTT, born c 1796 / 97, probably in Stow. No marriage has shown for Elizabeth & James, at this stage in my research. Neither do the baptisms of the 3 of them show. I have no knowledge of any Siblings of Euphemia. Do these names appear in any research out there ? Mary New Zealand.

I know he was from Edinburgh, was a choir boy at St. Giles in 1884. Later he trained several notable opera singers.. I have not been able to find out anything personal such as his parents, siblings, wife, children etc. Is anyone able to tell me where to find out more details, please? I am not related nor have I heard of the boy but as there are two CAMERON thrones in the Thistle Chapel in St Giles, I feel motivated. The only male of that name in Edinburgh in 1881 was adult and much too old to match. Searching the rest of the CD [Central SCT counties] I found a <possible> match but! make no assumptions..........
