Re: Help!!!
Hi Anne No need to apologise :) We have all been convinced that the line we were following was the correct one until up pops some information that blows the entire branch away. My wife was convinced that one ancestor was THE John Lapraik that Robert Burns wrote about and it took several years to inv...

Re: "Graham's Land" Strathbungo
Hi Dave Have you explored the FreeCen transcripts for 1841 and 1851. When you enter a surname and fore name you can explore the various families which come up. Once you identify the correct one you can move between their address and previous/ following households which may give you clues as to where...

Re: Can Anyone help me?
Hi Funky We do enjoy convoluted stories here on talkingscot but some of your information is getting a bit close and personal. You can contact Wendy privately using the PM (personal message) button which shows up on the right side of her posts. That way you can exchange e-mail addresses and sort out ...

Re: Old Dundee
Hi Malcolm I agree with Andrew about both the 'close' numbering (you can see I'm west coast) and the half landing shared toilets. The photo is fantastic as so few show the gritty side of close communal living. I'm interested that the toilet block looks like an add-on beside the spiral access stair. ...

Re: Seamore Street, Glasgow.....
Hi John and a warm welcome to [talkingscot] You joining with additional information just proves that leaving old posts open can still attract additional useful information especially when new names are added which may not be relevant to the original poster but might trigger memories in other members...

Re: Dundee Howff, New Howff, Logie, St Peters & St Aidans
Hi Darren Thank you for the update. What a fantastic resource you have given the world ! Access is so easy and you have amalgamated so much information from the various sources. I initially thought wistfully that I have no Dundee ancestors then realised I have a distant Tawse relative who moved to C...

Re: Patient assaulted by orderly at Argyll & Bute Asylum 191
Hi Doddie I have some doubts whether you would find any information in the newspapers of the time. Asylums were almost totally closed communities right up till the fifties. What went on in them stayed within the hospital and many patients had little or no contact with their families outside. It was ...

Re: Larbert Asylum
Hi Shorty I can't give you specific information about Larbert but when I worked in Leverndale hospital in the 1960's the policy was to inform the family about the death so that they could arrange burial/cremation in the place of their choice. Many times though the family had moved and contact was lo...
