Old Kilpatrick ED11 description

Post by **AndrewP** » Mon Oct 01, 2007 7:25 pm

I uploaded the following header page from Old Kilpatrick Enumeration District 11. Can you help decipher it?

My first run at it is as follows:

County of Dunbarton
Registration District of Old Kilpatrick
Enumeration District, No. 11
Name of Enumerator, Mr. James MacPherson

<center>Description of Enumeration District</center>

Part of the Civil and Ecclesiastical Parish and school board district of Old or West Kilpatrick, part of the parish ward of Radnor Park, part of the village of Radnor Park and part of the village of Dalmuir as lies between _____ Terrace, Radnor Park on the east and the _____ Burn on the west, bounded on the south by the Glasgow and Helensburgh Railway and Glenwood on the north, comprising _____ Terrace, East _____ Terrace, East ______ Place, ________ Terrace, Granville Terrace, all the villas, Janetta Cottages, B____________ Farm, all Upper Dalmuir, also Parkhall, D__________, Glenwood, Dalmuir House and Lodge, ending at Burnside Cottages.

All the best,

Hi Andrew,

I can see Earl Selborne Terrace, Earl Spence Place and Carlingford Terrace. Don't know about the rest though

Hi Andrew,
I agree with Paula on those three.
It's a bit of a guess with Barnside,
but all the other names (except possibly Dalnottar - now changed to Dunclutha) should be right.

On second thoughts you may well be right with Burnside.

And i'd better check Dalnottar...i'm now thinking i'm wrong on it being this.
Later, i was right on saying i was wrong - it's Dunclutha.
I've now changed Dalnottar to reflect this.

Much later;
The film roll shows it consistently as Barnside Terrace, but it is Burnside Cottages.

I've looked so often at this Census over the years but never looked at the header page before.
I think if he had been a pupil at my old school it would have been a ruler over the knuckles for poor penmanship.
His spelling leaves a lot to be desired too-he has mispelled at least two family surnames.

Hi all,

I have a number of Old Kilpatrick records andhaving come across the word before I really do think it is Burnside...

Hi Nina,

Yes, i agree.
I think it was meant to say Burnside Terrace,
but the enumerator wrote Barnside for some reason.
