Comment: Hello Mr Patterson,
Most greatly impressed by your work !!
Found your site whilst trying to find info' on my great grandfather William Codona married to Mary Carr or Kerr, and found it in your Polmont 1881 database. William (related to Alfredo Codona, trapeze artist in some way} died of TB and Mary remarried an Hendry? Stoneham. She is buried in Larbert churchyard.
I'm no genealogist by any stretch of imagination but have for several years taken digital pics of tombstones mainly in Hawkhead cem Paisley, Neilston cem, St Conville's Barrhead ..also some in Cathcart, Glasgow and others.
Have thousands which I'm attempting to catalogue in a meaningful way and have purchased OVS software from America to make it a useful free tool for others. If you have some person's memorial near my patch that you are interested in, let me know and I'll do my best to visit it and take a pic.
I'm a retired GP just aiming to keep active.
Sincerely, Andrew McNee

Comment: Hi, I am researching the Lyon and Ewing families who came from Baldernock.William Bruce my 4xgt.grandfather married Mary Lyon from here in 1825. Mary was the daughter of James John Lyon and Agness Ewing, both born Baldernock. Agness and her family were from a place (farm?) called Blochearn. I would be grateful if anyone has any information regarding these people or places, and any photos they could share with me.
I think this is a great site...thank you.

Comment: Looking for info on Culcreuch Estate. My Great Grandparents Andrew & Jane Buchanan lived in the South Cottage on Culcreuch Estate in 1881, he was a farm labourer. At that time they had two sons aged 2 years and 2 months respectively.After 1881 the trail goes cold.
My grandparents marriage certificate of 1908 shows Andrew deceased and Jane had by then changed her name to Brownlie and was living in Lanarkshire.
I also believe that at the time of his death Andrew was working for the railways.
Can you fill in the missing links. I have contacted what is now the hotel on the site but to date no response
Many thanks.
ps my own father is now 87 also called Andrew Buchanan and very interested in the research

Comment: A relative found our Celtic name for Morrison so how wonderful to have a start! Your site is amazing but I am still trying to move forward and figure out names of our family. Our father James Morrison, had a Grandfather Uhriah Trapp that we managed to track back to the 1600's going by ship to Martha's vineyard from Scottland, but it ends there. Thank you for your site!

Comment: I've been carrying out family history research for my husband's side of the family. It would seem you two are related - his great-great grandfather is the William Ure of Middlerigg Cottage, Muiravonside (from the 1881 census). It gives a strange feeling to know that there are unknown relations out there - just along the road :) Thank you for your website!

Comment: Starting off a fresh guestbook for the year 2011. A happy new year to all of you.
My new year has started by moving my entire site to this new address, http://tompaterson.co.uk, and new email address, tompatersn@gmail.com
This I've had to do because Sky, a totally immoral and unethical company, bought my main isp, ukonline, some 5 years ago and have now decided to shut it down with no redirection facilities for my web site or email forwarding. I have used this isp for 15 years, and the ukonline site is top of the google search when you type in "Tom Paterson". I'm also linked to by over 500 sites that I now have to contact. I've rebelled against them by cancelling my Sky TV package and have now moved to Virgin and I'm also doing my bit to publicise how dreadfully they treat customers by posting this here. Cheers Sky, you need to learn a bit about customer care
