Hello list, Where/what is CORLANRY / CORLANNY / CORLAMY? I found this locale while examining a will/testament for one John Duncan (died at sea, Sept 1838). This man's brother, James, I believe is my direct ancestor. The other siblings (including the decedent) lived at Welltown of Balbrogie at/near the Mill of Peattie (within Coupar Angus parish apparently) which I've got a much better handle on. Where/what is OVER GERMANY? The man I suspect is my direct ancestor, in the 1841 Scottish Census, lived within Coupar Angus parish at "Over Germany". Where or what happened to this place? Incidentally, this family includes: Father: Patrick Duncan Mother: Jean Pirnie John Duncan (died 1838) James Duncan (died between 1841-1851?) Jean Duncan (died 1871) William Duncan (died aft. 1871) Margaret Duncan (died 1805) I'm absolutely stumped! Thank you for any suggestions or guidance. Chris Michigan -- www.holtmusic.com
Hi Chris Re: 'Over Germany' Have you looked at the original image of the Census on Scotlands People? 'Over Germany' looks like an Ancestry transcription! Some Ancestry transcriptions of the Scottish censuses are from another dimension. I think they must have been done in a great hurry, without the application of common sense and without any controls to try to ensure accuracy.
