I have been researching a John Caldwell born in Paisley on December 26, 1844. His birth does not appear in the OPRs nor the Kirk Records that are available. I have found him in the 1861 census listed with the family of his mother's remarriage. She married a James McAlpine in 1847. From that census John's mother, Elizabeth Stewart, would have been 16 years old when John was born. Is there another avenue I may explore to find this birth? His father is suppose to be named John Caldwell also. If this is illegitimate, would young John carry the name of his father? If a professional researcher can help here, does anyone have a recommendation? Dottie In Sunny Florida

Thank you Donna for your explanation. I had done this a while back and just came across the info once again in my pile of paper work. If memory serves me right, I did try to get an image, but it did not come up on my computer, so I printed out the entire list. If anyone has spare credits after they are done their search I'd appreciate any help. It was listed as No 48 1871 Molloy Catherine F Greenock MID 564/01 0158 Sharon ----- Original Message ----- From: <SCT-RENFREW-D-request@rootsweb.com> To: <SCT-RENFREW-D@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, July 25, 2003 8:00 AM

Where would one write? >Sharon Stamis >Philadelphia, USA Hi Sharon "GROS" data is "General Register Office for Scotland" data. Here's an explanation from the Scotlands People Help pages: "The numbers in the column "GROS Data" provide additional reference points for locating the records at New Register House and can aid the General Register staff if you need help with a particular record. The numbers refer to: - Registration District or Parish Code: equivalent to the Registration District Name or Parish Name shown in the index register (followed by a "/") - Registration District Suffix or Parish Suffix: additional index term for locating the relevant register (followed by a space) - Registration District Entry: the index to the actual entry in the register itself" While that info could be used to ask someone to go to New Register House in Edinburgh and look up and photocopy the original record, you can also order a copy online on the Scotlands People website. Many records have been scanned and these images can be viewed online (at a cost of 5 credits) and then saved onto your hard disk for future reference or printing. For those records where a scanned image isn't yet available, there is the option of ordering an official extract from the register which will be posted to you - I believe each extract costs 10 GBP. In the search results listing, to the right of the column headed "GROS Data", there should be two more columns. The first of these, headed "Image", should either say "No image" (if no scanned image of that record is available yet) or have a link saying "View (5 credits)", and the second of these columns, headed "Extract" should have a link saying "Order". If the "Image" column contains the "View (5 credits)" link, you can use that link to download a copy of the scanned image of that record (5 credits will be deducted from your current total). Once the image has finished loading and is displayed on the screen, you can then, if you want, save it onto your PC. Alternatively, if no image is available, you could select the "Order" link in the "Extract" column to add an order for a printed extract of that record to your shopping basket. Once you've selected all of the extracts you want to buy, you can then go to the checkout to complete the purchase and provide online payment details. These extracts will then be posted to you. There's lots more useful info about how to use the Scotlands People site in the "Help & Other Resources" section - you'll find the link to that section in the menu on the left of every page. HTH... Regards, Donna

Hi David (and All) Thanks for the note, unfortunately one of the problems with Bugbear is that as shown in this example, it uses a variation of the sender's address picked from the message it chooses to send from the infected PC - there is therefore almost no way to let the real victim know that they have this virus I can assure you that as Bute List Administrator, Query Board & GenWeb Site maintainer I do keep my PC squeaky clean. By the way, on inspection I see that the post below dates from 1999 when I had just started the Renfrew list. Further, I don't have a copy on my current PC, as I have not been involved with the Renfrew List since August 2000 (Nor the Argyll one either). About all that can be said is that the Bugbear victim was subscribed to this list back in its early days. regards Peter -----Original Message----- From: David & Joy Lyle <d.jlyle@net1.nw.com.au> To: cookfmly@bigpond.com <cookfmly@bigpond.com> Date: Thursday, 24 July 2003 07:01 Subject: Re: List Owner Announcement >Dear Peter, >This morning I received 5 messages in my email, 3 message boards, 1 from a >puzzle zone plus yours listed as Subject "Re: List Owner Announcement", >with an attachment called "contacts.pst.pif" > >My Virus checker stated that this was a virus package called "Bugsbear", I >think that was the name. > >I then sent the above email to you via the following address and it bounced > >"Peter Cook" <cookfmly@webexpress.net.au> > >Will you please check your system. > >Regards >David Lyle > >At 08:06 AM 2003-07-24 +1000, you wrote: >>I have opted this list in for a new RootsWeb service, whereby all >>postings to the Renfrew Query Board are, to use the RootsWeb term, >>sent via a "gateway" to this list >> >>For those of you who may wish to sort these messages to a different >>area within your system, note that the first line reads: >>"Posted on: Renfrewshire Scotland Queries" >> >>As with normal List messages, subscribers who wish their reply to go >>only to the Query Board poster, should use their "reply to" option. >>Alternatively click on the link if you want to post an on-line >>response - this will appear on the Query Board and shortly after on >>the list. >>NB replying to the list only, will mean that the original poster to >>the Query Board will not see the message unless they are also a >>subscriber to the list. >> >>Please note that some of the Query Board posts are "ambit" posts ie >>NOT related specifically to Renfrewshire, but never-the-less still >>genuine attempts by frustrated researchers to advance their lines. >> >>As this change will mean an increase in mail to the list, some of >>you may wish to consider switching to Digest mode. >> >>By one of those quirks of fate, the general address for the Query >>Board is at the bottom of the first message to be gatewayed >>"mckinlay/affleck@paisley" >> >>Peter Cook cookfmly@bigpond.com >>List owner and Co-host with Sue <scoop@fan.net.au> of the >>SCT-RENFREW mailing list. >>List owner of the SCT-ARGYLL and ButeshireGenWeb mailing lists >> SNIP

To All I received an Email addressed from Peter Cook, Renfrew List owner. It had a VIRUS attached to it. Be careful not to open this attachment until it has been checked with your virus checker which, if up to date will delete the file. The return address to Peter bounces the message back to you. Sorry Peter I had to warn others quickly. Regards David B. Lyle
