Does anyone know if the Daughters of Scotia lodge is still in existence? My mother and aunt (both born in Scotland - emigrated to America in 1909) were both members of the Lady Leslie Lodge, Daughters of Scotia in Westerly, Rhode Island. It was apparently a group of Scottish ladies who were living in the U.S.A. but held on to their Scots heritage. We have just now come across a ledger book of the group which goes back quite a few years. Would like to publish the names of the members of the local lodge, but we're not sure that such a practice would be condoned if the parent organization is still active. Would be pleased to hear from anyone with any information about the group. Lucille (Adams) Richmond

Seeking links to THOMAS BIRRELL or ROBERT BIRRELL Thomas born 1873 at Craiglockhart,Edinburgh and married in 1900 to DAISY SABINA OVERTON We have just found new links to this family born to HENRY BIRRELL and MARY ELIZABETH KIRK. at HighBridge Chapel in Newcastle on Tyne. HENRY BIRRELL died at Thornton Poor House in 1913, but we cannot find Mary after 14 years searching. After the birth of Thomas in Edinburgh 1873 we have not been able to locate the death of Mary Elizabeth (KIRK) BIRRELL who was the daughter of JAMES KIRK and agent of Newcastle.

Karen - I do have a William Maxwell, however, he is born 18 Jun 1867 in Cambusnethan, Lanark to Daniel Maxwell (born in 1826 in Kilpatrick, Dunbarton) and Margaret Smith (born 1826 in Lanark). The Maxwell-Smith marriage took place in 1847 in Lanark and the couple had 9 children of which this William was the 7th.

Hi Tom - Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. What I have on the peacock line comes from a gentleman in scotland who provided me the pedigree, but without sources, so I call it unverified as of right now. Robert Peacock married Margaret Renwick and they had three children 1. James - c. 24 Dec 1799 in Newton, Scotland 2. Jean - c. 20 June 1802 in Newton, Scotland 3. Margaret c. 13 Feb 1805 who married William SWAN in Liberton, Edinburgh on 23 Nov 1830. The family then moved to Cambusnethan, Lanarkshire and had four children 3a. William - ca.1832 in Cambusnethan 3b. Margaret - b. 29 Dec 1834, ch. on 18 Jan 1835 in Cambusnethan and married James Reid on 21 Nov 1856 Free Church at Lea Muir, Carluke 3c. Elisabeth - c. 1837 in Cambusnethan 3d. Nicolas - a girl - b. ca. 1840 in Cambusnethan and married John Anderson on 20 Dec 1861 in the Church of Scotland of Forth Faulds, Lanark. So I am not sure if there is a connection here or not.

Hi, Jim, I think it must be another case of what parish, what century and the registrar on whether witnesses are recorded or not. The OPR I used for Alloa, Clackmannan has witnessess for the births from 1647-1689. After 1689 the births just said "In the presence of the congregation" Falkirk, Stirling also lists witnesses from 1680 to at least 1736, as does Larbert, Stirling from 1664-1761. On the other hand, the abstracts I did for Renfrew, Greenock, Middle Parish, which I started recording from 1742 on, does not.
