On Ancestry but cannot find on Scotlandspeople .....

Post by maggiehill » Tue Mar 06, 2007 1:01 pm

My Turley ancestors appear to come from Airdrie/NewMonklands area. I had found a Thomas Turley/Torley on the 1861 Census on Desmond Garrity cd a few years back and now on he is on Ancestry.

Why can't I find him on Scotlandspeople?

Thomas Turley age 51
Parish 651/1, enum 7, page 8
Address 33 Aitchison St

I have tried various spellings with no luck.

Family names, Lando, Turley, Finlayson, Yeoman, Pollock, French, Renwick, Watson, Pollock, Fell, Marchbanks, Greenshields

Try searching using *rley, and you'll soon find him.

I have to confess that I've some sympathy with the transcriber, but then if Des Garrity's team and Ancestry saw it as Turley/Torley .....................

On t'other hand, no way is the fisrt vowel written as anything other than an "o". Once again, it's the capital letter causing the problem ........
