Your ancestor would have worked for, and would have been trained by, a master shoemaker. I doubt that in the early 19th century there would have been quite such a formal assessment scheme as we might have today (with defined targets required to meet specific qualification levels), however, the master shoemaker may have belonged to a local society or guild and got other shoemakers to help assess your ancestor's work. My gg-grandfather, who lived in Wales, was listed as a journeyman (qualified) shoemaker or as a journeyman cordwainer on various documents. Family legend says that he made boots for a particular local duke. My father wrote to the Guild of Cordwainers to see if there was any record of him, but they did not have anything about him. http://www.cordwainers.org/history.aspx http://www.thehcc.org/backgrnd.htm There is reference to a guild of shoemakers having a building in Edinburgh in 1667, so shoemakers were quite well organised in the larger cities. http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/52516/details/edinburgh+195+197+canongate+shoemakers+land/ Here is a list of books/documents covering shoemaking held in Northampton's central library. http://www.walsall.gov.uk/bilbliography_13.doc Tina ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lorraine Standfield" <nerralea@dcsi.net.au> To: <PERTHSHIRE@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2010 8:46 AM Subject: Re: [PERTHSHIRE] New member - query Shoemaker Apprenticeships > Hello Lister, > > I am trying to find information regarding my great-grandfather James > GARDINER b c1826 to James Gardiner (Quarrier) and Anne SCOTT, probably in > Creiff.

Peggy, Have you tried Scotland's People? If you look up the marriage it should give ages, birthplace, parents and perhaps witnesses who could be relatives. On the same IGI batch as Peter's children are what look to be tow of Peter's brothers (perhaps cousins). William Elder married Betty Cock 1792 in Perth and had Robert 1794, William 1795 and Peter 1796. James Elder married Ann Young in 1796 in Perth and had Elizabeth 1797 and John 1799. There may be others on different batches. You might check their marriages on Scotland's People as well. I can't see any obvious births for Peter, William and James around 1770. They have probably died by 1841 census when all would seem to be over 65. But check for all occurrences of the surname in Perth. It could show some of the children. Check also for marriages of children. I can't see any submitted trees for this family on Ancestry or Rootsweb. That suggests nobody is researching them. So I'd be working to develop side branches using Scotland's People. Although it's a pay site, the information is the equal of a normal UK certificate and about one third the price. Peter in Sydney

I'm trying to find any descendents of Peter ELDER & Elizabeth KEILLER, who married 22 Jan 1793 in Perth. They had 6 known children all supposedly born in Perth, namely: Peter b. 17 Jan 1794; Isobel b. 12 Sep 1795; John b. 4 Sep 1797; Elisabeth b. 30 Oct 1799; Jean or Jane b. 25 Dec 1801 [GG Grandmother] & David b. 4 May 1804. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Peggy Dunn

_http://www.william1.co.uk/chosen.htm_ (ht tp://www.william1.co.uk/chosen.htm) says why we do this! Rather off subject but I found it quite moving. about why we search for family. I wanted all of my friends on the list to know, I am not dead! I have been recovering from a knee replacement, but in that time, I had several Powries contact me from the same branch. We managed to link several branches together. 7 of my 18 branches are from Errol. now four of them merges to create a branch with more than 5,000 people! Several other branches are close by, from Kinfauns, Inchture, etc. Even the three from Dundee, One found under Perrie! may soon line up. My Errol people were from nearby or next door farms. I find it ironic that Errol has a tile and brick works, as many of my brick walls didn't just fall but explode! Mary

Thanks Joyce - not easily accessed from Toronto, I agree, but at least I now know it exists! I already have copies of In Famed Breadalbane and also Lockwood's book on Beckwith. I'll checkout Archive.org for the others. And just in case your McKenzies and my Dewars connect, here are some possibilities: Dugald McNair McKenzie (1850-1935) m. 1918 Anna Bella Dewar (1864-1961) Timothy Jay McKenzie (1958- ) m. Terri Lynn Dewar (1955- ) And I've got another pile of McKenzies in PEI who married in several of my family lines there (Mutch, McMillan, Coffin). Regards - Glen C.

Hi Nathalie, I found 'Lurg" on the map I have here - James Stobie's 1805 map of Perthshire and Clackmannan. This map and an earlier 1783 Stobie of Perthshire are online at the National Library of Scotland. http://nls.uk go to 'digital maps', select 'county maps', select 'perthshire', scroll down to 1783 James Stobie 'the counties of Perth and Clackmannan' Four small maps, select the top left map, look for Loch Tay - bottom right corner - just below the "T" in Loch Tay, look for Milltown (that's' Ardtalnaig), follow the stream south to 'Kindrochet' and 'Lurg'.

Hello Nathalie Could that be Ardtalnaig on the southern shores of Loch Tay? Opposite Lawers. There seems to have been a farm or settlement nearby with names like Lurg, Lurg Mhor, Lurg Beag and Lurg Buie. I think this would have fallen under Breadalbane and the parish of Kenmore.

Gaye, West Faskally Lodge was one of the lodges to Faskally House. I reckon it probably sited where there is now a much more moderm house just inside the west gates. Prof Peter Herbert Butter (descendant of the Butter family of Faskally), drew my attention to the fact that it features in Dorothy Wordsworth's "A Tour in Scotland in 1803". It is not mentioned explicitly but he recognised it nonetheless. Deisart will be Dysart, now within the northern part of the town of Pitlochry. It is the location the main cemetery in the town. One of the Butters of Faskally also owned/leased Dysart Cottage. Can't help you with the others but, as someone already said, Kay Liney is the local expert. She might be able to help.

You could try looking here for a start: http://www.borenich.co.uk/Place_names.html - this is a Gazetteer of place names in Blair Atholl. If you can't find the name you're looking for, try cutting it down to the prefix - for example Druimchorrie/Drumchorry isn't there, but try taking it back to Drum or Druim and use the search page facility (under the edit tab on your browser)and you'll find a few candidates. There's no West Faskally Lodge, but this may be West Lodge, Faskally (not far from Moulin), nor is Deisart there, but Orchilmore is. The gazetteer gives map references for these If you pin down some of these places I may be able to take some photos for you as I quite often go walking in the Moulin area. Happy hunting!

Kaye Liney is your gal ! Sure she will have the info .

Hi List, Although I have used Ancestry.com/.ca/.co.uk for many years, I had never come across the Millenium Files before. I have used their free trials and have never subscribed since all the Scottish files I was searching were not there. I was checking some of the members public trees to see if I could find others researching the same people and amazing all those people out there who have the "same ancestors" and yet they know not where they found the information. However, one person told me she found the info in the Millenium Files at Ancestry. I know Ancestry has a terrible record of transcribing but my question is; have any of you had used these files and did you find them reliable? Obviously here in Canada, I have no access to parochial records in the community where my ancestors lived and without proof do not want to record information found so any input would be appreciated.

Some further Perthshire militia sources (source: Militia Lists and Musters 17578-1876, Gibson and Medlycott): The Black Watch Museum in Perth apparently has a local militia muster roll from 1804 [BW Arch 0416]. The National Archives (www.nationalarchives.gov.uk) - Local militia records for Perth 1753-75; Supplementary militia papers 1802-1816 - all located in class WO13 Also, 1802 Militia Act returns for the burgh of Perth are on Ancestry.co.uk - a listing of all men aged between 18 and 45 who were liable for service. It's not complete, there are entries missing for Craigie and a good part of Pomarium, for example. NB: The Black Watch was the 42nd (Royal Highland) Regiment of Foot, the regiment Peter later joined. Might be easier to look for their records for some form of attestation paper which might name his father? Also, see www.theblackwatch.co.uk/index/napoleonic-wars - he was obviously in Spain fighting during the Peninsula Wars. There is a Peninsula Medal Roll index for 1793-1814 at FindmyPast.co.uk, but it only lists officers.
