Rosemary Miles commented on Kirsty F Wilkinson's group 'Scotland and Scottish Ancestry'

I'm quite surprised Betty that you consider Scotlandspeople charges to be expensive. At 30 credits for 6 pounds or 60 credits for 12 pounds I thought they were particularly reasonable. Most searches which involved me deciding to…

I keep my information using Family Tree Maker. I've used it for a number of years and wouldn't be without it. Of course, this is just for my benefit and is not on-line. The reports and charlts features on it is brillian…

I found this through Google http://members.fortunecity.com/gillonj/edinburghtownguard/ I think this may be what you are looking for Tracy.

Rosemary Miles commented on Kirsty F Wilkinson's group 'Scotland and Scottish Ancestry'

I agree Rosemary. It can also be really difficult to be sure that the person is the actual one you are looking for as there isn't the same amount of information as that on later certificates. I haven't found an OPR yet that wasn't an…

Rosemary Miles commented on Kirsty F Wilkinson's group 'Scotland and Scottish Ancestry'

I would be more inclined to rely on Scotlands People than Familysearch.com Scotlands People are official records whereas Familysearch relies on the input of others and may not always be correct. I have found a number of errors in the information…

Rosemary Miles replied to Ruby Sawyer-DeCaire's discussion 'trying to trace my Scottish ancestry' in the group Scotland and Scottish Ancestry

Try Scotlandspeople. They have on-line copies of Old Parish Records. This is the website of the Scottish Registry Office. It will cost you a fee for credits but is invaluable for Scottish research.

Rosemary, I appreciate you going the mile and checking out the marriage, and it makes sense you would want to see it to gleam any other info. from it. With the comments you have given I can look over the information and decide a plan of action. Kind…

He was living at Montgreenan when he married. (I found it eventually). It may be that Margaret died and he remarried to Jane. Perhaps Janet is a child from the first marriage? She would be possibly the right age for her mother to have died in…

Rosemary, Thank you so much for taking the time to respond and to check for my "needle in the haystack" I do not subscribe to Ancestry at this time. Regarding children listed in the later years, would it be possible for you to send me the…

Hi Mary According to Ancestry.com there is a James Kerr born in Kilwinning in every census from 1951 to 1901. 1851 he's 5 months old and has the correct parents. 1861 has been transposed as Herr rather than Kerr but has a correction note. 1871…

Rosemary Miles commented on Geniaus's group 'Australian Genealogists'

My father was a Dyer but he was born in 1900 and his father appears to have died before 1901 when his mother is listed as a widow. As she died in 1912 and my father in 1948 and his 2 sisters are also now gone we only have vague reminisces passed on…

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond and to check for my "needle in the haystack" I do not subscribe to Ancestry at this time. Regarding children listed in the later years, would it be possible for you to send me the census year and their names? I do know this, James & Margaret had a daughter Elizabeth King Kerr, dob 1874. According to Civil Records Index for Ireland, an Elizabeth King Kerr died 1887 age 13, in Dublin South. It does not state parents names however, I think this could be their child.

At 8:17pm on February 7, 2010, Rosemary Miles said…: Thank you Betty. I may take you up on the offer sometime! My main interest is in the Lawries of Chirnside. I had a wonderful time wandering through old cemeteries in the vicinity last year but, even with the help of Scotlandspeople, have had trouble going any further back than my GGGG Grandfather, James Lawrie who was born about 1750. He married in Chirnside and his 6 children were all born there so I assume he probably was also.

At 1:18pm on February 7, 2010, Betty Snow said…: Hi Rosemary, I saw your posts about Home family, although I'm not related I have done quite a lot of research on several branches. I live in Berwickshire so if I can help in some way ask. The Hume came about with David Hume of Ninewells , Chirnside who was the philosopher. The Home's of Home castle and then the Hirsel, Coldstream used Home pronounced hume.

At 6:40am on January 30, 2010, Rosemary Miles said…: You're right William. The sign says "Hume". But Hume/Home is one clan or family.

At 6:36am on January 30, 2010, Rosemary Miles said…: Well some instances it's called Home but pronounce it Hume whilst other times they use "Hume". (I'll have to look at my photos to see what the sign at the castle called it!) It was definitely the one in the Borders not Lanarkshire.

At 5:27am on January 30, 2010, William Douglas said…: Home Castle? I think this is known as Hume castle I wonder if that is the one you went to?

Or was it Douglas Castle, on the Douglas-Home Castlemains estate in Lanarkshire, which is in the news right now?

If there is a Home or Hume group on this website, I have been unable to find it, and it might be good to start one. The earl of Home is also Baron Douglas, hence my interest!
