For those of you who might like to find some of your relies in 1901 Canada:- http://www.automatedgenealogy.com/census/cache/index.html

And we would like to know what happened to our David McCulloch born ca 1798 Wigton who married Elizabeth Anderson born Port of Spittal August 1798 daughter of John Anderson and Janet Morrow. He is said to have died of the plague when moving some neighbours in late 1840s. Here is the family on the 1841 census, Wigtonshire, Scotland and * this is the David we are looking for along with, who were his parents? and siblings? In the 1831 Urquart census, it indicates that they had been living at this same place for six years. Portpatrick * McCulloch David 35 farmer Wig 5,4 North Knockglass McCulloch Elizabeth 35 wife Wig 5,4 North Knockglass McCulloch Janet 13 daughter Wig 5,4 North Knockglass McCulloch Mary 11 daughter Wig 5,4 North Knockglass McCulloch Margaret 9 daughter Wig 5,4 North Knockglass McCulloch James 7 son Wig 5,4 North Knockglass McCulloch David 3 son Wig 5,4 North Knockglass McCulloch Elizabeth 1 daughter Wig 5,4 North Knockglass They had 1 child Robert after this whose birthdate on March 1st, 1901 census in Albemarle Township, Bruce Co. Ontario is listed as being born on October 10th, 1847, Scotland - so possibly David died between 1847 and 1851 as he is not on 1851 census. The son James came to Canada at his marriage in 1855 and all the rest of the family came the following year. It does not seem likely that George is our David's father as there are no George's carried on in the family naming pattern. However, if you can match them, we would be very interested.

For Scotland they are: 100 years for births, 75 years for marriages and 50 years for deaths. Individual records that fall within this range are "protected" from general availability/distribution. (These statutes are, again, generally more relaxed than other countries I have researched.)

Hi, While researching my family history using a document my grandfather wrote in the 1960's, he refers to a son as "a natural son by." In all other parts he refers to the parents as married. Does anyone know what the term "natural son by means"? I can find no record of a marriage in this case and the birth was not recorded in the OPR's. If the parents were not married, would the mother have appeared before a Kirk session? Cheers, Steve.

A couple of entries from WFP 14th February, 1856 which may be of interest. MARRIAGE HUTCHESON/ANDREW - In WFP M14/2/1856 - At 31, Palmer Street, Woolloornooloo(?), Australia, by the Rev H. Darling, Mr John Hutcheson, to Miss Isabella Andrew, late of Newton-Stewart, Wigtownshire. DEATHS HASTINGS, Andrew - D3/2/1856 - Drowned off Folkstone, on board the "Josephine Willis," in the collision with the steam ship Mangerton, on the evening of the 3d inst., Andrew Hastings, Logan, aged 12 years and 6 months, grandson of the late Andrew Dick, Esq., of Moorbrock.

The term "natural" usually meant illegitimate when applied in this manner. You will frequently see the term "lawful" son or daughter applied to children born inside a marriage.

Typing in entries into a database is a good way to check that one has all the supporting documents to hand to put their references in as well....also means job satisfaction and a warm feeling that your data is correct and not just fed in from who knows whos research or guesswork. Happy typing...keyboard speed improves rapidly with practice.. Anton
