If I can stop laughing at Drew's post I'll sing a wee song (on second thoughts somebody else should sing 'cos my voice would spoil it) AE FOND KISS by: Robert Burns Ae fond kiss, and then we sever; Ae farewell, alas, for ever! Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee, Warring sighs and groans I'll...

Hello Irene, I was just about to post a message about that very thing when I saw yours! I was going to say do not take that kind of info as 100% as sometimes our ancestors told 'little white lies' to get the help they wanted. We call them 'scammers' in Glasgow today! I think all the family's circums...

I've met Annie a few times over the years now and she can can be bit rude if you don't kiss her right - she's aye fartin'.

Hi Annette, Many thanks for the census information, this is very useful. I would be very grateful if you could post the poorhouse information either here or by email to ICOLFER@aol.com . Since I last posted I found the birth of Robert Lee jnr 22nd Dec 1876 and died 13 Aug 1881. The ages on the 1881...

Hi All, and a Happy New Year This is my first posting to talking scots, I would like to know if anyone could help me with the 1871 census. I am looking for Robert LEE and wife Isabella LEE nee Gallacher, they have 5 children, Charles, Isabella, Annie, John and Robert. I have this family in the 1881...

Hello, I know the age is slightly out but this lady might be worth investigating. According to the IGI Margaret was born to Elizabeth CARTNEY or ROSS in 1871. There is no sign of a marriage between CARTNEY and/or ROSS. Of course she may have nothing to do with your Elizabeth Ross at all. Dwelling: 2...

I'm now fairly sure what Mary J FRASER's pob is and it isn't anywhere close to Glasgow, but I'm still struggling to get something to fit for what is written for Alexander's pob.......... Davie I'm still not sure about Mary but I'm fairly sure Alexander's pob is Glasgow. Look at the Glasgow above an...

Hi Thomas and James are the only 2 I couldnt find on the IGI. Irene Hi Irene, I entered a 'parent search' on the IGI and that is how I found Thomas. I shall have a look at Havannah ?Street? when I can. Have you seen this man on the 1881 census? Surely he's got to be related!!! Dwelling: 87 Commerci...

Hello Irene, Sorry for getting your name wrong earlier. I had a look the family on the IGI. If you post the address where Thomas was born in 1873 I could look that up the next time I'm at 'The Mitchell' although I don't know when that will be. Some one else might be there earlier than me though. Reg...

Hello Maria,

I'm sure if you post some details of the family, (such as where they lived, ages etc. ) someone may offer to help.
