How do I designate the location Lanarkshire in Scotland

nissokone — 28 Jun 2008 7:52:12 GMT

I apologize if this is a 'less-than-brilliant' question.
Identifying a specific area in the U.S. is easy....town, county, state, USA. For other countries, I get easily confused:
I have an ancestor b. in Baillieston, Lanarkshire, Scotland. Is what I just typed the proper designation? Is Lanarkshire abbreviated (LKS?)...or is it even Lanarkshire..should it be Lanark?
Is there a genealogy source that would give this sort of information for all countries?
Thanks so much for any help you can offer.

OWENS family from Old Monkland

John McKINNON b 22 Feb 1874 Shotts Lanark

LovelyNaomi — 29 Jun 2008 1:40:38 GMT

I am looking for info on John McKinnon born 22 Feb 1874 in Shotts Lanark.
His parents were William McKinnon & Williamina Donald. IGI has them listed as McKennon
John married in Newcastle Australia in 1985 & his death cert shows that he was 82 yrs at death and had lived in Aust for 77 yrs. This seems he must have come out with his parents to Aust in 1879?
It could be wrong - his son-in-law filed the death notice, and he might have come out by himself in his teens.

I don't know of any siblings for him but his childrens names were William, John, Mary, Wilhelmina, Elizabeth, George & Francis.

Any help is appreciated

AITKEN family, Harthill, Shotts, Lanarkshire, Scotland

GordonCrago — 3 Feb 2007 2:47:21 GMT

Dear all,

I would appreciate informationabout the descendants of William Aitken and Helen McNish/McNeish, both long-time residents of Shotts.

William Aitken was born 1838 in Airdrie. Helen McNish/McNeish was b. 14 Jun 1841 in Ayr. After marrying in Girvan, Ayr in 1866, William and Helen moved to Shotts.

They lived the remainder of their lives in Shotts, as did almost all of their children. William died in 1901 and wife Helen died 15 Oct 1923, both in Harthill, Shotts.

Almost all of the children of William Aitken and Helen McNish/McNeish appear to have married in and around Shotts and to have worked and/or resided in Shotts at least up until the mid-1940s.

Children of William Aitken and Helen McNish/McNeish include:

1. Joseph Aitken b. 1867 and d. 1942 in Harthill, Shotts. Married Sarah Beattie in 1891 in Harthill, Shotts. Children of Joseph and Sarah include Hugh, Mary, William, Sarah, James, Francis, and Ann.

2. William Aitken b. June 1869 in Harthill, Shotts. Married Mary Forsyth in 1898 in Harthill, Shotts.

3. Robert Aitken b. 1873 in Harthill, Shotts, d. 1949 in East Whitburn. Married Elizabeth Sinnet. She died in 1922 on the tail end of the flu epidemic. Children include Robert, James, Mary, and William.

4. James Aitken b. 1883 in Harthill, Shotts.
Married Margaret Malcolm in Whitburn in 1905.
Child Arthur born 1906 in Shotts.

5. Mary Graham Aitken b. 5 Apr 1871 in Harthill, Shotts and died 1939 in Shotts. (A chocolate confectioner. Never married according to death record).

6. Helen "Ellen" Aitken b. 3 Dec 1875 in Harthill, Shotts. Married in 1899 in Shotts Hugh Morgan, former member of Harthill Thistles, in 1899 a professional football player in Bolton, England. In 1901 census, Helen and Hugh are resident in Bolton, England. Children include Douglas b. 1900 in Bolton.

7. Elizabeth Aitken b.1880 in Harthill, Shotts, Lanark. (I have no information on her and have hit a roadblock finding additional records. She does not appear to have married or died in Shotts.)

Any information about this family, and particularly information about Elizabeth above, is much appreciated.

I also have much information to share about this particular Aitken family.

Thanks so much,
Laura

Margaret SMELLIE b. Lanarkshire 1685-1700 m. James CRAWFORD

Dallas Manicom — 29 Sep 1998 12:00:00 GMT

I just found that I have a SMELLIE ancestor who was born in Lanarkshire, probably about 1685-1700.

Her name is Margaret SMELLIE and she appears to have a sister named Grifsell and a brother John or possibly her father was John.

Margaret married James CRAWFORD abt 1704-1705 and Grifsell married James's brother John!

James CRAWFORD and Margaret SMELLIE had 6 children ... 4 of whom it seems survived!
1) John b 1706
2) Margaret b 1707 (died young)
3) Isobel b 1709
4) James b 1711 (died young)
5) James b 1713
6) Margaret b 1714

My ancestor is 6) Margaret SMELLIE who about 1703-1705 married Robert URIE in the Rutherglen area, about 1730-1732.

Any info or connections would be appreciated!

Does any of this sound possibly connected??

Sincerely,
Dallas Manicom

AnnMarieBP — 24 May 2008 3:55:11 GMT

I'm in search of my gg grandparents. Thomas Burns and Elizabeth Nelson, married at 43 Barcaple Street, according to the forms of the congregational union churches, registered at Dennistoun, Lanark in 1902, officiating minister is John Halliday??
My questions are these...

2. What exactly does "Congregational Union Churches" for that place and time mean? I have read many different explanations, but none seem to be definitive.
3. What organization would Halliday represent?
Thanks very much.

MARSHALL, Shotts, Lanarkshire, Scotland.

cathie sowerby — 25 Jul 2004 9:16:57 GMT

Mary Marshall b.abt.1817 and her brother Alexander b.abt1812, parents Alexander Marshall and Christian Scott, have given "on all Census Records" their place of birth as Linlithgow.

I have found the baptism records for all the siblings in Shotts.

Mary Marshall (my ancestor who married George Smith 1838-died 1880 Shotts) and her brother Alexander Marshall m Janet Main 1938 are being very elusive.

I have found West Lothian refered to as Linlithgowshire in old records, and I think Torphichen is where they were born. Can anyone help. This was a farming family going back many generations in this area.

William Albert ESSEY supposedly born approx 1868 Glasgow

kirsty37_1 — 6 Jun 2008 3:28:22 GMT

Hi

I have been trying to find info on my Great Great Grandfather a WILLIAM ALBERT ESSEY who was supposedly born in Glasgow in approx 1868 give or take a year. William left Scotland for New South Wales in Australia in his late teens and this is where he resided until his death in 1940.

I have just been told that William's biological father was killed in a War and his mother remarried giving William the surname of her 2nd husband which was Essey. The only war around that time appears to have been the 1st Boer War which was from 1880-1881 and then the 2nd Boer War from 1899-1902, in the 2nd war William would've been too old to have changed his name so I would assume it was the 1st??

All I know is that William's mother's name was Kathleen McDonald - I think McDonald was William's father's surname.

Is there any way of locating William's biological father via his war records??? And does anyone have any suggestions on how I can find Williams birth info???

I have searched the Scottish records online but am completely lost. As you will all know there are a lot of McDonald surnames in Scotland...................

Any help would be so greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Elizabeth was stated as 17years and James as 18y.

Her 2 marriage certificates state her birthplace as Waterloo,Lanarkshire, Scotland and her fathers occupation as butcher.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.

SHAW in Cambuslang

moiracruachan2 — 5 Jun 2008 10:45:09 GMT

Looking for any information on James Shaw born 17th September, 1892 in Cambuslang, Scotland. His parents were John Shaw and Jane Miller who married in 1882. Jane died in 1899 at Gilmour Place, Flemington, Cambuslang. Her parents were George Miller and Jane Lidell. Although it is really James Shaw born in 1892 that I am more interested in. I cannot trace a Marriage or Death for him and wondered if he had served in the First World War.

Anything would help.
Many thanks.

I am searching for information concerning Patrick Connolly/Connelly, who was born in ca. 1868 in Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland, son of Michael Connelly( born ca. 1837 in Scotland ) and possibly Ann Lang ( born ca. 1836 in Scotland ). Patrick Connolly/Connelly married Elizabeth Nolan ( born ca. 1867 in Greenock, Renfrew, Scotland. ). I am not sure who her parents were. They could have been James and Mary Nolan or Edward Nolan and Bridget Gallagher.

Patrick Connolly/Connelly and wife, Elizabeth Nolan, and son, Michael Frank ( 18 mos. old ) were living at 76 George Street in Paisley, Renfrewshire, England during the 1891 census. They emmigrated to America in 1892 and lived out their lives in Boston, MA. In the 1881 census, Patrick Connolly/Connelly was living with his parents, Michael and Ann Lang, at 22 Queen Street in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland.

I am searching for any information concerning Patrick Connolly/Connelly and Elizabeth Nolan and their parents and their family origins in Scotland. Any help at all would be very much appreciated.

Hamilton Palace History Help

alyssani — 31 Jan 2008 6:40:07 GMT

Hello Everyone,

My GG Grandfather was a German born musician named Henry Apel. Around 1855 he was invited by the Duke of Hamilton to play, I think he was in a brassband. My GG Grandmother Catherine Thomson lived on Muir Street very close to Hamilton Palace her father Parker Thomson was a flesher (Butcher?) I assume that she worked at for the Hamiltons and that's where she met Henry. Let me get to the point, is there anyway I could find out more about who worked for the Hamilton's and if they had information about my GG Grandfather playing for them. The National Archives is very confusing for me. Not to mention I live in North America. Any advice would be appreciated.

SWAN family from Shotts/Harthill

bluedooo — 26 Apr 2008 2:05:25 GMT

This is a long shot. I'm helping a friend research their family history and in particular her Swan relatives from the Shotts area.
Its a long story, including an unexplained adoption, but here is some of what I have.

Francis Swan born C1862 in Ireland married Martha McKay born C1880 in Ireland. Francis was a coal miner. Their first child Annie Ethel Swan born 1898 in Shotts was put up for adoption and was my friends mother.

I have found Francis and Martha's 2nd child William Swan born 1900 in Shotts who married Sarah Ann Dodds. Here are the children I have found of William and Sarah Ann -
William born 1930 Main Street Harthill (married Annie Miller)
Stewart born 1932 Main Street Harthill (married Jean Roy)
Albert born 1934 West Main Street Harthill
Elizabeth Dodds Swan born 1936 Harthill (married Anthony Clay)
John Swan born 1939 Watt Terrace Harthill
David Swan born 1942 Watt Terrace Harthill

It would appear that Swan is a popular surname in the Shotts area but I would dearly love to put my friend Theresa in touch with a living relative.

Francis and Sarah Ann probably had more children but I am wondering if you could reply if any of the above looks at all familiar to you.

Best Regards
Tom

BRADFORD from Glasgow

orchad6 — 17 Apr 2008 6:42:50 GMT

Am trying to follow my ancestry from Scotland. My Nana left Scotland many many years ago and has since lost contact with her family. Her name is Ruby, her brothers are/were Norman, Duncan & William BRADFORD. They were in WW2, 8th Army and the British Army of Occupation in Palestine. All survived WW2.
Her father and grandfather were Regimented Soldiers in the Indian Army (?) before WW1, and her father went on to be the foreman at Glasgow Water Works/Corporation.
Alot of this info is what I could find out in bits & pieces of limited conversations!
After WW2 Ruby left Scotland and came to New Zealand by ship, leaving her brothers behind - her mother left when Ruby was very young, so she was brought up by a nanny, who continued to look after Ruby when her father died. Her nanny died when she was approx. 11-13 years old, making it 1931-1933 (ish).
Any help would be great, is really hard to get this information in New Zealand!

William NIMMO married Alice LAIRD in Glasgow, 24 March 1922.

davlittle — 12 Apr 2008 10:36:14 GMT

My Grandmothers brother was William Nimmo. William was born around 1896. He married Alice Laird at the Douglas Hotel in Glasgow on 24 March 1922. Alice's address prior to the marriage was 53 Copland road, Glasgow.

At the time of their marriage, William was a Post Office Clerk in the Liverpool area. They had a daughter named Annie B. Nimmo born in Birkenhead during 1923. I have been unable to find any other info on the couple between 1922 and 1959. William Nimmo died on the 19th of March 1959 and is buried in the Muiravonside cemetery in Stirlingshire,with other members of his family including my Grandmother Agnes Baxter Emslie Little (nee Nimmo) I have no knowledge of Alice's date of death or her place of burial.

It has been suggested that William Nimmo and his wife moved back to Glasgow at some point.

Can anyone from the Glasgow region shed any light on William Nimmo and his wife and daughter? As I live 12,000 miles away in New Zealand, the public records and electoral rolls are not available to me.

To contact me, please use my email address which is: vabukori@yahoo.com

Any info is gratefully received

Thank you

MCDADE and BARRY families in Glasgow Scotland

esullivantormey — 10 Mar 2008 2:31:51 GMT

I have been researching for some time the MCDADE and BARRY families from Letterkenny Ireland who settled in Glasgow.

Based on the following information, I am hoping that it may be familiar to some one that maybe a descendant and perhaps still living in Glasgow - and would contact me with current family information.

John MCCLAY and Anne Jane O'DONNELL had two children that that I know of.

1.) Margaret MCCLAY (1857-1933) married a Joseph BARRY (1857-1926) on 18 Aug 1887 in Letterkenny - settled in Glasgow.

They had five children:
John Peter BARRY(1879-1923)single
Joseph BARRY(1881-1936)married Mary Ann SHEILDS
James Patrick BARRY(1884-1942)married Rose FEARON
Charles Frances BARRY(1886-1962)married Annie McKenna BLAIR

2.) Elizabeth MCCLAY (1860-1924) married a James MCDADE (1858-1929) on 15 Jul 1883 - they too settled in Glasgow

They had five children:

Hugh MCDADE (1884-1957)(my line) married 1st - Rose MCLEAN, 1 daughter - Winifred married Aloysius Hyram Frances TRAVERS (I believe that there maybe Travers still living in Glasgow presently for they had six children: Winifred, Aloysius, Hugh, Peter, John and Reginald); married 2nd - Eileen Lynch, 2 children - one to Australia - the other to NH.

Anne Jane MCDADE(1886-?) married a MCCLUSKEY (my brick wall)

Coatbridge Irish Genealogy Project

Mick — 19 Oct 2005 9:24:04 GMT

St Patrick's Festival Committee, Coatbridge, Scotland are
commissioning a Genealogy project that will attempt to capture as many Coatbridge families as possible with Irish ancestry, and of all denominations.

The pilot study, undertaken during last years festivities, sampled 139 people claiming Irish ancestry.

96% were able to identify their County of origin, 58% able to identify their town/village & 44% claim to still have family in Ireland.

The top counties repesented where Donegal(21%), Down (11%), Armagh (10.6%), Tyrone (9%) & Armagh (8%).

All of these counties are in the north & this would be consistent with the pattern of post - famine migration from the main ports, Derry & Belfast.

We hope to publish all our collated data in time for the 2006 Coatbridge St Patrick's Weeks Festivities.

With a good response this could become an important social document painting a strong picture of a crucial period in our history.

Thank you in advance for your participation.

To participate, simply reply to this query.

If you are from Coatbridge or have had family who settled there at any time,and have Irish ancestry, then we'd like to invite you to take part in this project.

What we need is

a) Irish Family name

b) County of origin

c) Town/Village of origin

d) Year or approx of family coming to Scotland

e) Where family first settled in Scotland before arriving in Coatbridge (only if applicable)

f) Do you still have family in Ireland & where

g) Any stories regarding your families Irishness, or how they arrived in Coatbridge, that has been passed down.
