Can someone please look for a poorhouse record?

Hi all,

I have a Patrick Logan born illegitimately on April (?) 1865 in Barnhill Poorhouse to Ann Logan, domestic servant. The registration is very hard to read. I have ordered a copy from SP.

I am trying to find more information about Ann Logan, as I think she is the sister of my ggg grandfather. My Logan gggg grandparents have a Patrick Logan living with them in the 1871 census. They call him son. They are living next door to a McClusky family, and the head is Patrick. Ann is not there and in fact I can't trace her at all. In the 1881 census Patrick is now Patrick McClusky, and is the Logan's grandson. I can't find a marriage for Logan/McClusky, so I looked for an illegitimate birth and got Patrick at IGI, mother Ann.

I am hoping that a record might confirm that Ann's parents are John Logan and Catherine Kemps or Camps. They were born in Ireland and were Catholics. I think they threw poor Ann out when they learned she was pregnant.

Anyway, I would really appreciate someone having a look for me!

I was too late at the Mitchell yesterday to get anything brought to be looked at (got heldup in the traffic trying to achieve to many things!) I am intending to go back next Saturday morning so if no one manages before then, I will see if I can find anything.

Nina, I was at the Mitchell today but unfortunately one of the members of staff took ill and they were unable to bring up anything from the archive - not having much luck for you I'm afraid

Awww....maybe the higher powers are trying to keep this wee family secret from getting out! Maybe next time?

Thanks so much for trying Annie,

Hi Nina,

Nothing obvious for Ann but there is one for Catherine Logan/Campse born 1811 made in 1886.

There was no production at The Mitchell today so I couldn't view it. You'll just have to be patient a little bit longer.

Let me know if you have posted your request elsewhere and have already received the info.

Kind regards,
Annette M

Where is Barnhill? Google won't let me see at the moment
