Hi Brenda
I am having a lot of trouble tracing G Grandfather William Gauld born in Scotland? married 1860 and died in Liverpool again no trace. I would be so grateful if you could obtain the Birth date that would give me a start.
Thanks Irene

If you have any left could you look for the parents of James Gold aged 6 in 1881 census. He should have a McKerrow or Lawcock connection. Born Douglas Lanarkshire Thanks GLoria

This is what I could find for your queries. Sorry to those I could not help more as I tried to do a bit for everyone, rather than using what I had left looking for just one person... ****************************************** For Tom Bb: A direct search on the name you provided turned up nothing, using soundex on Arthur Goodall I got the following people. 1901 GAULD ARTHUR M 3 LEITH NORTH EDINBURGH CITY MIDLOTHIAN 1901 GAULD ARTHUR T M 38 KELVIN GLASGOW CITY LANARK 1901 GOLDIE ARTHUR M 24 ANDERSTON GLASGOW CITY LANARK 1901 GOLDIE ARTHUR M 5 AIRDRIE OR NEW MONKLAND LANARK 1901 GOLDIE ARTHUR C M 5 CATHCART LANARK 1901 GOLDIE ARTHUR D G M 8 ST PETER DUNDEE CITY ANGUS 1901 GOODALL ERNEST ARTHUR M 17 BLACKFRIARS GLASGOW CITY LANARK 1901 GOULDWELL ARTHUR M 28 BLACKFRIARS GLASGOW CITY LANARK ************************************************ For Helen K: John Kirkland, Lodger, Age 19, Married, Upholsterer, Ayrshire, Kilmarnock. Looks like 41 George Street, Glasgow. No one else is in the house. I have the image, send me a message with your email address and I will forward it. ************************************************ For Carole Dillon: A direct search on John Hall in Banffshire in 1885 brought up nothing. These are all the John Halls born in 1885. 1 1885 HALL JOHN M TULLYNESSLE AND FORBES ABERDEEN 2 1885 HALL JOHN M TARBERT ARGYLL 3 1885 HALL JOHN M DENNISTOUN GLASGOW CITY LANARK 4 1885 HALL JOHN M TRADESTON GLASGOW CITY LANARK 5 1885 HALL JOHN M INVERESK AND MUSSELBURGH MIDLOTHIAN 6 1885 HALL JOHN M ST NICHOLAS ABERDEEN CITY ABERDEEN 7 1885 HALL JOHN M KIRKMABRECK KIRKCUDBRIGHT 8 1885 HALL JOHN BELL M MILTON GLASGOW CITY LANARK 9 1885 HALL JOHN DAVIDSON M NEWHILLS ABERDEEN 10 1885 HALL JOHN FAIR M ROXBURGH ROXBURGH 11 1885 HALL JOHN FRASER M PETERCULTER ABERDEEN 12 1885 HALL JOHN JOHNSTON M MONTROSE ANGUS 13 1885 HALL JOHN KENNEDY M PAISLEY RENFREW 14 1885 HALL JOHN TAYLOR M ARBUTHNOTT KINCARDINE ************************************************** For Elizabeth Robinson: Thomas Gray Melville died November 16th 1932. I saved the certificate, please send me a message with your email address and I will forward it. BTW - It was an Elizabeth Robinson born about 1855 in Scotland that sent me on this wild goose chase in the first place!! ************************************************** For David Sheriffs: Searched on surnames only with and without soundex from 1890 to 1920 with no county specified, and came up with nothing for your names. The closest I could get was a marriage in 1914 between William Thomas Sheriff and Elizabeth Ann Gove, in the district of St Vigeans, Angus. From the 1901 census: 1 1901 SHERIFFS ALEXANDER M 53 ST MACHAR ABERDEEN CITY ABERDEEN 168/02 066/02 003 2 1901 SHERIFFS ALEXANDER M 18 ST MACHAR ABERDEEN CITY ABERDEEN 168/02 016/02 040 3 1901 SHERIFFS ALEXANDER M 15 WOODSIDE ABERDEEN CITY ABERDEEN 168/03 001/03 005 4 1901 SHERIFFS ALEXANDER M 3 HUNTLY ABERDEEN 202/00 004/00 011 5 1901 SHERIFFS ALEXANDER M 4 CRAIG ANGUS 280/00 003/00 016 6 1901 SHERIFFS ALEXANDER M 38 PORT GLASGOW RENFREW 574/00 006/00 037 7 1901 SHERIFFS ALEXANDER M 30 AYR AYR 578/01 007/01 017 8 1901 SHERIFFS ALEXANDER D M 6 ST NICHOLAS ABERDEEN CITY ABERDEEN 168/01 023/01 012 9 1901 SHERIFFS ALEXANDER FRASE M 3 FORFAR ANGUS 288/A0 014/0A 002 10 1901 SHERIFFS ALEXANDER J M 52 ST MACHAR ABERDEEN CITY ABERDEEN 168/02 016/02 040 ************************************************** For Katy Dymond: All I can turn up between 1860 and 1870 are two Annie Ure’s, one born in 1863 in the district of Leith North, Edinburgh City, Midlothian and the other born in 1887 in High Church, Glasgow City, Lanark. ************************************************** For Lyn (Sean Fannin) A list of all James Galbraith's born between 1790 and 1800, none specifically in Ayrshire. 1 05/10/1793 GALBRAITH JAMES WILLIAM GALBRAITH/MARGARET VIRTUE FR140 M GREENLAW 2 26/01/1794 GALBRAITH JAMES JAMES GALBRAITH/MARION MORRISON FR259 U KIPPEN 3 26/01/1794 GALBRAITH JAMES HUGH GALBRAITH/MARY GILFILLAN FR259 U KIPPEN 4 27/12/1795 GALBRAITH JAMES GEORGE GALBRAITH/JANET ANDERSON FR208 U KIPPEN 5 06/03/1796 GALBRAITH JAMES JOHN GALBRAITH/JEAN HARVEY FR241 M BALFRON 6 08/07/1797 GALBRAITH JAMES ALEXANDER GALBRAITH/ M DALMELLINGTON 7 07/06/1797 GALBRAITH JAMES WILLIAM GALBRAITH/JANET MCLEW FR283 M BALFRON 8 30/04/1797 GALBRAITH JAMES GEORGE GALBRAITH/JEAN SMART FR1505 U FALKIRK 9 03/09/1797 GALBRAITH JAMES ARCHIBALD GALBRAITH/MARY MCKECHNIE FR210 U KIPPEN 10 28/04/1799 GALBRAITH JAMES JOHN GALBRAITH JANE MACINTYRE FR688 U GREENOCK OLD OR WEST 11 11/09/1799 GALBRAITH JAMES JOHN GALBRAITH/MARGARET TAYLOR FR827 M INNERWICK 12 10/02/1799 GALBRAITH JAMES PETER GALBRAITH/JEAN LOGAN FR209 U DALRYMPLE 13 15/06/1800 GALBRAITH JAMES JOHN GALBRAITH/JEAN SCOTT FR1539 U FALKIRK 14 15/06/1800 GALBRAITH JAMES JOHN GALBRAITH/JEAN SCOTT FRCH2V19 M FALKIRK *************************************************** For Ethel: Nothing specific for David Hutchinson in the area specified, a search in all counties in 1849 brought up these three. 1 20/11/1849 HUTCHINSON DAVID WILLIAM HUTCHINSON/ANN SPALDING M MONIFIETH 2 30/12/1849 HUTCHISON DAVID DAVID HUTCHISON/ISABELLA TURNBULL FR619 M AYTON 3 28/08/1849 HUTCHISON DAVID JOHN HUTCHISON/JANET LAWSON M KILMANY *************************************************** For Isabel Wright: A list of all Jeanie Watson's born between 1885 and 1890. 1 1885 WATSON JEANIE F BLYTHSWOOD GLASGOW CITY LANARK 644/07 0350 2 1888 WATSON JEANIE F HAMILTON LANARK 647/00 0400 3 1889 WATSON JEANIE F CAMBUSNETHAN LANARK 628/00 0675 4 1889 WATSON JEANIE F HOLYTOWN LANARK 625/02 0356 5 1889 WATSON JEANIE F NEILSTON RENFREW 572/01 0055 6 1890 WATSON JEANIE ANN CALD F NEW PITSLIGO ABERDEEN 227/B0 0057 7 1885 WATSON JEANIE BAXTER F GORBALS GLASGOW CITY LANARK 644/12 0096 8 1886 WATSON JEANIE BROWN F DENNISTOUN GLASGOW CITY LANARK 644/03 1213 9 1886 WATSON JEANIE GOVAN F EAST KILBRIDE LANARK 643/00 0013 10 1888 WATSON JEANIE HERD F AUCHTERTOOL FIFE 407/00 0018 11 1889 WATSON JEANIE KAY F HAMILTON LANARK 647/00 0272 12 1888 WATSON JEANIE KERR PAT F HUTCHESONTOWN GLASGOW CITY LANARK 644/11 0750 13 1887 WATSON JEANIE LAING F DALZIEL LANARK 639/00 0123 14 1886 WATSON JEANIE LANG F PAISLEY RENFREW 573/00 1610 15 1888 WATSON JEANIE SIMPSON F GOUROCK RENFREW 567/02 0035 16 1889 WATSON JEANIE SPEIRS B F GOVAN GLASGOW CITY LANARK 646/02 0613 17 1887 WATSON JEANIE WEIR F HOLYTOWN LANARK 625/02 0222 *************************************************** And that's it!
