By Roz, on November 25th, 2007% A correspondent has recently asked whether Alexander Brand Inglis could possibly be the father of John Inglis, born to Ann Taylor and Alexander Inglis, ploughman, in 1861. I found the following:
John Inglis was born to Ann Taylor and Alexander Inglis on 4th July 1860 in the Parish of Dalbog, Edzell. This would make Alexander Brand Inglis 20 to 21: around the right sort of age. Knowing that Alexander would not have been a ploughman, as he was apprenticed at the age of 13 to a draper in Edinburgh, I looked into other branches of the family nearby and . . . → Read More: A tale of two Inglis
By Roz, on November 25th, 2007% William was one of James Inglis‘ younger brothers, I have written about him before I think. He was tempted to Australia by James and took a position in a bank in Wilcannia (a town in New South Wales about 450 miles North West of Sydney) taking with him his wife and four young children Helen, Mary, Robert and William.
There is a transcription of a vivid account (given by Helen, using the name Daisy because her second name was Margaret) of life in Wilcannia and the death of their father, on rootsweb . . . → Read More: William Burnet Inglis 1851 – 1888
By Roz, on November 30th, 2006% I’m aware that posting has fallen away recently – this is due to being away for about a week and then various (living!) family commitments coming up. However, John and I are still both plugging away at the layers.
There comes a point where internet research alone is not enough to uncover the truth. I suspect that this is where many people give up. It’s around the point where the free BMDs run out – in England and Wales this means that anyone born before 1837 is hard to find parentage for unless they appear on the 1841 / 1851 . . . → Read More: General Update
By John, on November 22nd, 2006% We’ve just returned from a wee trip to Scotland to catch up with family and see The Greatest Football Team in the World gain another famous European victory. While there we nipped up to Edzell and Forfar to check out the Inglis Memorial Hall and the Angus Archives. We also went to the National Archives of Scotland in Edinburgh to find out a bit more about the trials of David Lyon.
On the Saturday before we left for Scotland, we received three things in the ‘post’: an e-mail from another Inglis descendant that Roz has been in touch . . . → Read More: A Wealth of Information
By John, on November 7th, 2006% Violence, Intimidation, Destruction – these are not the reasons why David Lyon was behind bars in 1841. These were the reasons he was behind bars in 1838. It was for the jolly crime of assault to the danger of life that he was put there in 1841.
I found this information out online. Which was great as I didn’t fancy popping in to Dundee for a whole day on our way to Edzell later on this month. As with almost everything, I started my search with Google. I went looking for prison records for Scotland. I soon found that the . . . → Read More: Assault, Malicious Mischief, Mobbing and Rioting
