Hello, I am new to this list and I am searching the McCarroll Family. Robert McCarrol ( could be spelt with 2 "L's" ) his wife Margaret Faith nee Hamilton. Their children: William Hamilton born about 1885 Margaret " " 1888 Ellen " " 1891 Robert " " 1894 Bella ( Isabella) " " 1897 Samuel " " 1899 They are listed in the 1901 Census as living at 254 Bouvene Terrace. ??? Robert senior is listed as a coachman. William went on to become a member of the 37th Black Watch Imperial Forces. He married on the 27th November 1914 at Windygates Auchterderran Scotland to Jane Gardiner Fowler. In 1924 William and Jane with 5 children immigrated to New Zealand As I live in New Zealand any help with sorting this family history would be much appreciated. Regards Ruth Naylor

Hello Ruth Irene, in her response to you, mentions that the youngest childrens' birth certificates should give you their parents' date and place of marriage. Failing that, the 1911 Scottish Census asked for the place of birth as well as country of birth for those born outside Scotland. This was an addition to previous censuses. It is due to be published on the Scotlands People website next Spring (2011).

Hi Ruth According to the 1901 ancestry census transcription they are in 254 Bouverie Terrace, Port Glasgow ... but the 'bad' news is that Robert, Margt and the four eldest children were born in Ireland. Only Isabella and Samuel were born in Scotland. However Samuel or Isabella's birth certificate should give you the date and place of Robert and Margaret's marriage ...hopefully it will give more detail than just Ireland ...and give you a place to start in your Irish search. Images of birth certs are available on scotlandspeople.gov.uk ...it is fee paying but it's not horrendous.

Apologies - connections with Kilbarchan and Lochwinnoch - Renfrewshire - and with Kilwinning and Ardrossan in Ayrshire Nyle James - (nee Forrest) Blenheim NZ

Does anyone have William DONALD c1711 m Jean AITKEN, and his son William DONALD c1743 married Mary SPIERS in their tree. Likely Lochwinning/Kilbarchan but they also are connected with Ardrossan, Ayrshire. I believe they farmed Girthill. William 1743 had a son Robert DONALD 1780, who had a son Robert c1820 who came to NZ I have ordered death/burial/MI's records from Scotsgenealogy which should help eventually, meanwhile would like to connect with descendants.

Brian, i have no direct connection to George Ludovic Houston, rather an in-direct one. My g/grandfather came to Australia in 1852 and in 1872 he sold a property he owned called "Iverton" to "George Ludovic Houston Esq. of Johnstone Castle for the sum of 120 pounds stirling". I assume that the property was in or near Johnstone. The letter to my g/grandfather from the solicitor, a Mr Barr of 5 County Place, Paisley, is dated "18th Dec. 1872". All that remains of Johnstone Castle is the Keep, the surrounding land was apparently sold off or acquired for housing after WW2. Chopin apparently stayed at the castle while teaching the piano to Houston's wife or daughter. My father's second given name was "Iverton" - after the property.

I have pasted below an extract from an Angus Roots Web Post which may be of interest.:- "Just a wee tad of further information about Census records of Scotland. Agreed, the first official census was 1841. However there were at least two previous censuses taken. 1783 Census by Parish and the 1821 Census by Parish. Both of these censuses were supposed to be taken by the Clergy of the Official Church of Scotland, Parish by Parish. The problem was however that some clergy did not or refused to participate, I am not sure which ( unfortunately I am not old enough to ask them), therefore the records do not exist for each Parish. Also some were no doubt lost and "I am told" there are others that are still in private collections and have not been released to the public. " When searching Google for information on the1783 & 1821 census I came across a good description during this period of Neilston Parish Renfrewshire commencing page 286 http://books.google.com.au/books?id=A0wSAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA291&lpg=PA291&dq=1821+Neilston+Census&source=bl&ots=dErPSMmMTM&sig=HGcuDFNhIBVXy81IeoWFK7ffGDE&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=10&ct=result Hoping the link works.

Dear Ian, If you can locate Catherine's convict records, you may find her parents and siblings mentioned on the indent form (if it survived). You should be able to purchase her prison/trial records from the National Archives of Scotland. Try searching the NAS online catalogue for a reference number, and a possible brief description of her crime.

Hi Margaret, She died 5May1881 at Gibbs Hill Farm, Greenock of pneumonia. Her father was Hugh WEIR, mother was Annie POLLOCK. The McNAIR name could be from her paternal or maternal grandmother's maiden surname. I have a CLARK in my bunch too.

I presume you are referring to column 5. Usually, there is a blank line between the father and mother. The father should be listed by name on line 1, occupation on line 2, and, if deceased, that is in brackets on line 3. Then the blank line followed by the mother's name, M.S. (maiden surname) and if she is deceased. Naturally, if the names are long or many, more lines are used.

Brian, Sure you can forward it my way but "deceased" is found under the names of each parent if of course they are deceased. But (as an example), if it is not under the mother's name then it implies she is still living. Cheers!!!
