I just thought that if the births were on familysearch there might be a way of finding other information as well, or is that not the case ?

Did I look at the Cemetery records for a burial of Ann before? I can't remember but I do remember looking at the Poor Relief.

I have got to out shortly and may not be able to add any more until tomorrow. The joys of retirement, busier than ever!! Reading these boards help we to unwind from my rather hectic lifestyle lol.

https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list#page=1®ion=UNITED_KINGDOM_IRELAND
shows all the Scottish collections online at FS - the useful ones are:
Scotland, Births and Baptisms, 1564-1950
Scotland, Marriages, 1561-1910
International Genealogical Index (IGI)
The IGI is now divided into submitted and ranscribed/extracted records
(Their census records just give the individual, not the household, so are pretty useless.)

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XTB5-T2H
[I would definitely think an 1855 m.cert worth getting. It also gives the couples children by former marrs, their relationship to eachother (if any), and the date & place of birth, in addition to the usual stuff]

mgnv,

Thanks for this information , I will go back to Scotlandspeople and have a look for that marriage.

The 1851 census is not mine as my Anne was living in Stirling street , Glasgow with her 2 grandaughters and stepgrandchildren , and still in Stirling street in 1861 , but thank you .

This links my 1851 to Astra's 1871, so it looks like this is another Ann, my Ann's Robt can't be the Springer St Ann's Robt.

Just going through all The Robert's with no surname and d.o.b.on Ancestry and found a Robert age 14 living with Ann Oliphant b 1796 , Address is 199, Campbells Land , Glasgow.

Oliphant is Ann's maiden name . It also shows her born in Lanarkshire c 1796, my Ann was born Dollar 1786

Surname shown as MITCHEL , don't know how I missed this , I have been searching for MITCHELL.

Just going back now to look for others.

Hi rootgatherer,

Pretty sure this is him with his mother but no further on with him, too many marriages and deaths on Scotlandspeople for me search .
Just a pity he didn't use his middle name , that would have been helpful,
