Rhind - Glasgow area

[HazelRhind]

Hi, I wondered if anyone could help. Our family name is Rhind and I was born in, and lived in, Clarkston, Glasgow before we moved south. We lost touch with my Grandad's family and I was hoping to find his family members. I have no clue where to start although it's not a common name.

My Grandad was John Storie Rhind, married to Morag Notman (or Marian, she used both). My Dad can't recall what their birth years were or when they got married, but I have a photograph of their wedding which looks like the 1920s. They lived in Bellshill, Bothwell and lastly Motherwell and Grandad had a legal practice in Hamilton. He was a Judge in the Sheriff Court in Glasgow, he was a dispatch rider in WW1.

The family I'm trying to find is his brother's, David Rhind, I don't have a middle name for him and I don't know where they lived as children or their parent's names, however I do recall Grandad telling Mum not to name my new baby sibling John Storie as there had already been too many, so I think his Dad must have been called that too (as mine is). I'm sure had Mum still been with us she would have had more information, but unfortunately that's all I have. Any assistance would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks Hazel

Welcome to Taking Scot Hazel.

Putting "John Storie Rhind" into the basic search box on Scotlands people gives:

2 births - 1899 Hamilton and 1930's Bothwell
1 death - 1967 in Dalziel aged 67 [born ~1899]
1 marriage - to Marion McKinnon NOTMAN in Holytown 1930

using that information Marion was born in 1899 too, in Larkhall.

Most of these certificates can be downloaded from the Scotland People fora small fee.
These will give you parents' names, addresses and occupations.
There will be census returns too for 1901 and 1911 which should show any siblings such as David.

I'll leave you to do the rest.

We can't, for privacy reasons, post names and details for those who may be still living [birth 100 years, deaths 50 years and marriages 75 years]
so can't help you with the current generations.

This looks likely to be the family at 21 Butterburn Park, Hamilton in 1901.

James Rhind Head Married Male 36 1865 Railway Brakesman Callander, Perthshire, Scotland
Elizabeth B Rhind Wife Married Female 35 1866 - Granton, Midlothian, Scotland
David Rhind Son - Male 3 1898 - Hamilton, Lanarkshire, Scotland
John S Rhind Son - Male 1 1900 - Hamilton, Lanarkshire, Scotland
Ann Rhind Mother Widow Female 64 1837 - Coupar Angus, Forfarshire (Angus), Scotland

A David Rhind married a Joan Roger at Hamilton in 1924.

Like Wilma said a look at John's marriage entry will confirm his parents' names and from there you should be able to confirm if David is the correct one.
