Does anyone know if there is a way to find information on those in the Perthshire Militias. I have a fourth great grandfather who was in the Militia in 1790's and was married at Holy Rude Church at Stirling. His name was John Shewster and he married an Isabella Beanstone or Benston. I have not been able to find any muster rolls. Any help would be appreciated. Kaye

Ian, Have you looked for your family on the Ontario cemetery guide (which allows you to search for graves by surname and county and township? Or the Historical atlas', as every county has at least one. These books have bios in front and maps in back, with names on the owners name at the time of publishing. Searching by genweb, one per state or province, then one each for each county. I transcribed all the bios for the 1906 atlas for wellington county _http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~onwellin/_ (http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~onwellin/) , and it appears ancestry is posting them on ancestry.ca (for canada) You can get from one genweb to another, and links to the place where you can search for graves or bios. McGill university has built a search engine for all the atlas' and all the maps. Mary in Oregon the bios usually list the place where oldest pioneer came from, all their issue and their marriages are included. They sold them, so people paid to get into the atlas', but then the family wrote the bio. my family didn't have the money to put in a bio. Some atlas' had photos with signature.

If anyone has a copy of the clock-maker book below, I would be grateful for a look-up. I'm looking for information on James Stewart, a clock-maker in Glasgow, who was apprenticing with James Leckie in 1778. James Stewart was probably born about 1755-60 in southern Perthshire. He is descended from a family of Stewarts who resided at Grodich, Glen Finglas, Callander, Perthshire in 17th-19th centuries. James belongs to the same family as Walter Frangich Stewart. "Frangich" is the Gaelic word for "French speaker", but it is also very close to a place name, Frenich, which is located on Loch Chen, just south of Loch Katrine, near Glen Finglas, where this family originates from. It's impossible to know if Walter was nicknamed "Frangich" because he spoke French or because he came from Frenich. James Stewart was listed as a clock-maker in Trongate, Glasgow in 1778-1779. There is a Robert Stewart, clock-maker in Trongate in 1841. They are likely father and son. Both of them are featured together in an article from a clock-making magazine from the 1980s. Unfortunately this article focuses on their clocks, not on their genealogy, and tells us nothing of their relationship to each other nor of their origins. Apparently James Stewart's clocks were quite prized. A grandfather clock made by James Stewart recently sold at auction for £8000! James Stewart may have had another son named Alan. James Stewart was also later named a Burgess and Guild Brother in Glasgow (date unknown). I'd be grateful for anyone who can check the clock-maker book to see if there is any reference to James Stewart above.

I got great answers to my questions about rentals, on the Angus list and thought my fellow genealogy buddies on the Angus list might like the same information. I'm sorry if it fails to be of interest. Mary in Oregon BRUINSWOOD@aol.com wrote: > may i ask someone to define feuer, and crofter? A "feuar" (note usual spelling) was someone who (to all intents and purposes) owned a piece of land. The term originates in the feudal system. Technically (and until quite recently) all land was considered to belong to the Crown, and individuals were granted "feus" or parcels of land in exchange for sundry "services". Originally, these services would have been military in nature, but were long ago commuted for cash payments. The King would originally have "feued out" large areas of land to members of the nobility, and they, in turn, would have "sub-feued" smaller estates to regional lairds, and so on, until a single farm's worth - or a single house's worth - of land was feued to an individual. Because of the terminology used, you will often find that landowners - even landowners on a very modest scale - describe themselves as "feuars". "Crofters" on the other hand, were people who occupied a croft, for rent. > I have recently been told there were lowland clearances? > Is this true and when did they occur? what were > the lenghth and conditions/terms of rent? If you mean, were people forcibly ejected from their homes, to make way for sheep, then the answer is "no" - but mainly because in the Lowlands, the great majority of farms and crofts were held on short leases. Again and again in the "Statistical Accounts" (approximately 1790 and 1840) you read that the norm for a particular was for leases of 19 years. This meant that an "improving" landlord (which, in the Lowlands, probably meant someone interested in promoting high-intensity agriculture, rather than sheep-ranching) had only to wait until the current lease fell in, and he could then offer the land at a rent that was so much higher that the crofter could not afford it. Multiple crofts and farms could then be let as a single unit to a more modern and "high-tech" farmer who could pay the higher rent. The upshot was that large numbers of Lowlanders left the land and emigrated, either into the fast-growing cities of Scotland and the rest of the UK, or overseas, but without any of the more obvious cruelties which were practised at times in the Highlands. > If a renter added farm buildings, fences/walls, added mechanized machinery, > basically improving the farm, was the family rewarded by the owner in any > way? That would depend on the terms of the lease. But it was not unknown, for example, for the departing occupant of a croft to take with him as much as he could (for example the roof-timbers of the house) for re-use elsewhere (assuming he could find another croft). > > Milton of Ogil, Tannadice, Angus, was where one of mine lived. I've see > cottontown and millton or milltown before. Not "Cottontown". What you will have seen is "Cot-town" or "Cottar-town", a collection of cottages. A "cottar" was someone who rented less than a croft - generally a house with at most a bit of garden ground. Such places tended to be grouped together, and before mechanisation, were encouraged by landlords, since the occupants of the "cottar-houses" would be a source of seasonal labour (as would the crofters, few of whom could manage on the produce of the croft alone). "Milltown" or "Milton" is clearly a group of houses near a mill. > anyone know of a book or site that defines scottish cottage and farm names? If you are talking about prefixes like "Milton" or "Cotton" or suffixes like "Cottage", "Mill", "Moss" then it wouldn't take a very long book! There are a few more similar formations, such as "Kirkton" (whose origin is obvious) and "Hatton" which is the "ton" near the "hall" (or major house). Other sub-parts of placenames would be "North", "South" "Upper", "Lower" and a range of other standard terms which really need little explanation. If you are talking about the root placenames (like "Ogil" or "Tannadice") then there are likely to be many books attempting to account for their origins, each dealing with a particular geographical area. "The Placenames of Aberdeenshire", for example, fills a book of over 400 pages, and while I do not know of an equivalent for Angus, I would lay even money that there is one (or even more than one). Bear in mind, however, that the "root" placenames are generally of much greater antiquity than the prefixes and suffixes, and consequently there is likely to be greater degree of uncertainty (not to say speculation) in what can be said of their origins. It is probably true that most of these "root" names date from the times when the countryside was inhabited by speakers of Gaelic or Pictish, and have been handed down mainly by oral tradition. In the eastern Lowlands, however, most of them were not written down until the inhabitants had been speaking Scots for centuries, so many of them will have been mangled in transmission.

Helen, I can see a recently submitted Family Tree at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ But it seems to cover mainly the Australian lines of a son of Paul's eldest brother James. The problem is that it will cost money for most people to look at Scotland's People, so you're not going to get many people looking unless they are direct ancestors. And it's such a big family. Alternatively you can look at Scottish Census records on Ancestry, but again one has to have paid for a subscription. As a semi professional researcher, it shouldn't be too hard. It just the cost. I recommend you spend a few dollars on Scotland's People. It only costs a couple of dollars per view. Otherwise post what you know about Paul and see if people might help. Peter in Sydney. PS!! One of the family died in the old hospital that used to be about two blocks from where I live.
There's more Perth based material being produced through Ancestry's World Archives Project - see http://scottishancestry.blogspot.com/2010/04/forthcoming-scottish-material-from.html. The material was sourced from Perth and Kinross Archives, digitised 3 years ago. Already available is 1802 Perth militia survey and Perthshire school register reports from 1869-1901. Chris
Helen Paul SLATER died in 1931 in Galashiels, Selkirkshire aged 77. He was working as a gardener in Selkirkshire in a number of the later censuses, usually going under the name Paul. The marriage of Rajahgo (sic) Paul SLATER to Elizabeth DICKSON was registered in Melrose, Roxburghshire in 1880. By the 1891 Census when Paul was a gardener living at 9 Wood Street, Galashiels, they had 3 children: Bessie Hogg SLATER, 9; James SLATER, 7; Mary McKenzie SLATER, 4. (he is transcribed by Ancestry as Reigahgopaul in that census). The image of the marriage and death certificates can be downloaded from Scotlands People at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk As Peter said in an earlier email, it is a pay site. Rhoda p.s do you know why he was given that wonderful name? Could he have been named after an Indian servant working for the same employer as his father?
Is there anyone on the list who might be considered the "resident expert" on early Errol families ? Or, can anyone direct me please. Diane
