Hi, Results in Google: Type in to it (Greenock Poorhouse) >From around 1850, the parish of Greenock operated a poorhouse in a building at the north side of Wellington Street, between Duncan Street and Captain Street. A parochial lunatic asylum stood on an adjacent site to the west. By the 1870s, the poorhouse was in such a state of decay that in 1876, the parochial board began construction of a new institution for 750 inmates at a site on the Inverkip Road to the west of Greenock. Jay

I am wondering if anyone would know the addresses of poorhouses in Greenock in the 1885 time period. I have an address of 1 Harvie Lane and am wondering if this was in fact the address of one of the poorhouses. Eva

Hi all I came across the following and thought others may find it interesting <http://www.archive.org/details/monumentsmonumen02rogeiala> I found both volumes one and two of Monuments and monumental inscriptions in Scotland (1871) available to download for free There are other interesting publications on there so do take a further look Such as A History of the County of Renfrew from the earliest times - Metcalf, William Musham, 1840 - 1916 Glasgow memorials (1908) Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK)

Hello, I am new to this list & my interest is in the family of Alexander Hamilton, a weaver of Kilmalcolm born about 1790 & married Ann WILSON in 1820. They had 4 children, Mary (1821) Robert (1823) Alexander (1826) and my GGGrandfather William Cunningham Bontine born 27/1/1832. I suspect my question is of the "does anyone know why the sky is blue" variety but I'll ask anyway. As the family were simple weavers & their first 3 children were baptised with only one name, why would my gggrandfather have been given such a long one? I can find no other reference to Cunningham or Bontine in either side of the family before or alongside this. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Val Brisbane Aust

I have two separate unrelated families Joan, the first mentioned below out of Kilmalcom and another a bit later in 1835 out of Lochwinnoch. Cheers!!!

Val, I happen to have the OPR from Scot's People on your family. One of my Stevenson offshoots is at the top of the page. I remember seeing Alexander's name and wondered if the family was related to the Cunnigham/Bontine Grahame line. This was a prominent family in Renfrew of which Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham is rooted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Cunninghame-Graham and someone who I have read many years ago. Robert Cunnigham and Bontine Grahame Francis Jane Speirs (that's a mouthful) of Kilmacolm were married about the same time as yours. All their children carried the Bontine Grahame name. One could speculate the two families might be related or perhaps your family was simply returning some sort of kindness by naming one of their son's after this family. And although I can't answer your question, I suspect you'll be doing a bit more digging. Cheers!!!

Dear List Members, I have recently joined this list in the hope that someone may be able to help me. I have a death certificate for a David SIMPSON who died in Renfrew in 1866. The details are as follows: David Simpson, Bricklayer, Single Died 2nd March 1866, 21 Meadowside Street Renfrew Aged 64 Father: James Simpson, Bricklayer, deceased Mother: Nancy Simpson m.s. Russell, deceased Informant: Robert Bancher?? Occupier I am looking for a David SIMPSON who was born about 1802 in Ireland. This David SIMPSON would also have been a bricklayer. He is listed in the 1861 census living with his son John at 269 St Georges Rd in Glasgow. His occupation was given as retired builder. John SIMPSON his son was also a bricklayer by trade. His occupation was given as builder. As well as John's wife and children there was also a son/brother James whose occupation was given as bricklayer. David SIMPSON's wife was Elizabeth BACON. I have concluded that David was a widower as his wife was not living with the family in Glasgow. By 1863 the family were living in Partick in Glasgow. About the same time as David SIMPSON died in Renfrew, the wife and children of John SIMPSON arrived in New Zealand so if this is the correct David SIMPSON then this may explain the informant. I would like to be able to determine if the David SIMPSON for whom I have a death certificate is the same David SIMPSON that I have found in the 1861 census. I am wondering if perhaps the surname of the informant on the death certificate should have been BACON. Any information that may either prove or disprove the theory that these two David SIMPSONS are one and the same would be appreciated. Would there be any directories of Renfrew that would indicate who was living at the above address in 1866. Where would David SIMPSON most likely be buried and is there likely to be a record of this event. Any help or suggestions for avenues for research would be appreciated. Regards, Christine

I see that nobody has mentioned the census indexes that the Glasgow & West Scotland FHS have produced and how to get a look up or buy them http://www.gwsfhs.org.uk/ Volunteers have compiled a surname index to the 1851 Census for the following parishes :- Lanarkshire Glasgow City, Barony, Gorbals and Govan (these are available on microfiche and CD ROM see publications). The remainder of Lanarkshire, out-with the Glasgow area has been indexed by Des Garrity and is also available on CD ROM. Ayrshire all parishes Renfrewshire all parishes (also available on microfiche and CD ROM see publications) Dunbartonshire all parishes (also available on microfiche and CD ROM see publications) Stirlingshire - Campsie For a search of this index in any of the above areas, please send a large envelope, return postage and a donation to the Society per surname. The suggested amount would be 2 UK pounds per surname plus postage from Society Members or 4 UK pounds per surname plus postage from Non Members. Original MessageI'm new to the list.?

Diane,       The Robert Templeton, ae 20 years at 34 Glen St., Mearns, did you notice where his nativity was?  The reason I'm asking is that on the 1841 census (if it is the same guy) he is listed as being born in Renfrewshire.      I found a Robert Templeton ae 50 on the 1881 census, so the age matches, but he lists his place of nativity as Kilmarnock, Ayrshire.  Kilmarnock is where the family I'm looking for were from, so maybe he didn't realize where he was b.   Donna,      I don't know where Robert & Sarah were b.  I'm asuming they were from Kilmarnock, but can't be certain.  On the 1841 census Robert is listed as nativity unknown, and Sarah is outside county, which could mean Ayrshire.  This is one of the reasons I was looking for them on the 1851 census.      If this Robert who is in Mearns on the 1851 and in Abbey (see below) on the 1881 cenus, is their son, and Mary Sillars Templeton who is their dau. m. in Kilmarnock in 1853, who knows what became of the rest of the family.  They could have emigrated.  How would I know?       Thanks for looking for them on the 1851 Ancestry census.       How far are Mearns, Abbey, and Paisley from each other?   Marc   Source Information:  Batch No.:  Dates:  Source Call No.:  Type:  Printout Call No.:  Type:     C115714  1819 - 1854  1041279   Film  6900400   Film       Sheet: 00 =============== ================ Is this him?  Dwelling: No 12 Saucel  Census Place: Abbey, Renfrew, Scotland  Source: FHL Film 0203585     GRO Ref    Volume 573    EnumDist 93    Page 3  Marr Age Sex Birthplace Robert TEMPLETON M 50  M Kilmarnock, Ayr, Scotland  Rel: Head  Occ: Calico Printer Janet TEMPLETON M 43  F Kilmarnock, Ayr, Scotland  Rel: Wife Agnes TEMPLETON U 15  F Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland  Rel: Daur  Occ: Warehouse Worker Margaret TEMPLETON U 14  F Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland  Rel: Daur  Occ: Warehouse Worker Elizabeth TEMPLETON U 10  F Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland  Rel: Daur  Occ: Scholar Robert TEMPLETON U 8  M Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland  Rel: Son  Occ: Scholar Janet TEMPLETON U 5  F Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland  Rel: Daur Mary TEMPLETON U 2  F Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland  Rel: Daur

Hi Marc Did a quick check on Ancestry 1851 census- but couldn't find your family- checked the English one too. Would they have migrated between the censuses? My lot left Renfrewshire for New Zealand in 1842- there was a big drive by the Presbyterian Church to get people out of the slums of Paisley and into countries like Aus, NZ and Canada- my guy was a calico printer too. Do you know where Robert or Sarah was born? There are a lot of Youngs in Kilmarnock on the 1851 census donna On 08/10/08 7:12 PM, "MARC ARCHER" <marcher56@att.net> wrote: > Hello, >      I'm new to the list.  I'm tracing the Robert Templeton family, Robert > Templeton who m.

Marc / Diane, You may be lucky and find that the 1851 census has been transcribed on FREECEN. Most of 1841 is up-to-date but only some of the 1851 parishes are completed. It depends on the County. Some are progressing faster thyan others in this ongoing project. http://www.freewebs.com/mmjeffery/index.htm. Link to Scottish Index is given above.
