Jeanette

Thanks Jan, I will get back to you and let you know the outcome.

Jeanette, just nipped back to see how you are getting on. Good to know the Scottish notion seems to have paid off! Good luck.
Jan

Hi Jeanette

I will keep my fingers crossed for you

Regards
Jackie

Jackie I think you may have found my Hannah , I am very excited as I have just looked at my tree and Hannah was a servant to the Wight family in Norham,Berwickshire in the 1861 census. Although I am yearning to look at Scotlands People I must get some sleep as Im up at 6am tomorrow but I shall look tomorrow after work thank you so much I hope you get this.
Bless you,
Jeanette

Jackie thank you,I will certainly look into this.

There is a death of a Hannah Glass on Scotlands People

1 1893 GLASS HANNAH WIGHT F 56 KELSO /ROXBURGH 793/00 0080 VIEW (5 CREDITS) ORDER

the age is about right and the death is just over the border may be worth looking into

Jackie

Forgot to mention I have James Glass 1859-1899 birth cert which gives Hannah as his Mother so at least I have been able to establish that

Thanks to Glitter Babe, yes this is my James Glass.
Thanks too to Astra, the James Glass aged 2 is my Gt.Grandad but in fact his Mother was Hannah Glass who had him out of wedlock, after 1861 I loose track of Hannah.
Grateful for all help,
jeanette

Thanks Jan will do as suggested and see if I can find the elusive Glasses. Would be great if I could trace some of Mams family, bless her she didnt know any of them. Really appreciate your help
Jeanette

Jeanette, pop over to Records Office and check out my thread "Scottish Research?".
Jan

Reply from Glitterbaby:

Civil registration began in Scotland in 1855.

Scotlandspeople will go up to 1908 for births - 100 year closure - but it will give you the details for later births - certs will be £10.

Family search is quite good

Scotlandspeople do have Old Parish Registers for BMd's 1538 to 1854

I'd give it a go!

Jan

I think you have to use a site called Scotland's people - which is pay per view. As far as I know they do not have an equivalent of freebmd. Will do a thread just to check - don't go away!
Jan

Thanks Jan, to get that info would I have to join a Scottish site?

Have you considered the possibility that one or more of them moved to Scotland? It's so close to the border, you never know.
Jan

In reply to your other questions Hannah is listed in the 1861 census as a servant at West Newbiggin Farm, Norham,Berwick then I loose track of her.
Her illigitimate son James Glass(1859-1899) married Ann Matthewson and had 2 children Daniel and my Gran Jane Marshall Glass (1892-1923) . My Gran died young my Mother was adopted and this is where the trail ends. I feel sure there must be Glasses out there who are related to me, but where?
Out of the 6 children Margaret and James had I have been able to find out that Margaret remained unmarried. Jane married a Daniel Marshall and moved to Newcastle and had 5 children. But I cant trace the others. Hope I have explained properly. I would love to find out what happened to Hannah(1836) in particular. Also Isabella(1826) Thomas(1829) and Mary(1831) ny help most appreciated
