All of you people seem to know the mines your relatives worked in, but I don't. I have this Pollock family that I know some of the towns they worked in because of birth places of their children, but I don't know the mines. James Pollock and Christian Ormiston married 1796 in Renfrew, their first several children born there or Barrhead, and then more born up to 1818 in Campsie parish. Children were Christian 1798 m. Peter Buchanan in Campsie in 1819; Alexander 1802, died young; William b. 1805 m. Janet Maitland in 1827 in Campsie; James, 1804 or 1807, m. Elizabeth Findlater 1845 (probably second marriage for both); Elizabeth, 1808 m. James Chalmers in Campsie 1826; Alexander, 1809 m. Jean Findlater in 1832 and came to USA in 1852; Samuel Pollock, 1813 m. Agnes McLuckie in 1840; Margaret Pollock 1815-1818; and John Pollock, 1817 unsure of wife. I think all the sons were colliers and worked in Lanarkshire. Alexander had five sons and a daughter that came with him to USA and their birthplaces were Campsie, Passover, Gartsherrie, and Gartgill. Does anybody have lists of employees of any mines in these areas? Are any POLLOCKS mentioned? (Would also be interested in BUCHANAN, CHALMERS, FINDLATER, MCLUCKIE, OR MAITLAND.) thank you for any ideas or assistance. Margie Pollock Bridges in California
