Batch C115736

1860 HOUSTON MARY NELSON - COCHRANE WILLIAM 573/1 64 Paisley High Church

1862 HOUSTON MARY - YUILL WILLIAM 573/2 29 Paisley Low Church

I've only included the marriages in Paisley.

I have nothing on Mary after 1851 so don't know if she died before 1855 or if she lived to marry before or after 1861 census.

She's not with the family in 1861, but may be with them in 1871.. Have you got that census, Dave?

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Yes, sorry about that Geoff.

I usually put a note saying '1871 see parents' but didn't for Mary.

Dave

 

[horse]

No. problem..

If I have the right death for her father John then one of those might fit. Will get to John later.

Dave

 

[horse]

Yeah, she may have gone to Glasgow, especially if that is correct Matthew [in other thread]..

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Yes, the family moved to Glasgow.

Son Thomas.

Thanks Geoff.

I didn't look that far because I didn't remember I had Mary in 1871.

Thomas living in London Road Glasgow as was Matthew.

Several died in Camlachie.

Windows did a major update last might that took 30 min to install. All my fonts have reverted to tiny and my keyboard has been re-set to English with £ instead of $ and with " and 'at' no longer above the 2. Damn them. Why can't they save existing settings instead of overwriting them?
Now I have to remember how to change keyboard layouts.

It's only listing one keyboard in settings so I can't choose one and hit delete yet the icon on bottom right shows two.

 

[horse]

Yeah, it's a damn nuisance when that happens, having to reset everything.. Fortunately not had similar problems lately..

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

I can't even find where you can add a keyboard layout or delete one that is installed.

I solved the issues with the size of fonts and the size of scroll bars etc by creating a .reg file with my settings and I just use that to overwrite the default registry settings. Not sure if I can create a .reg to do the same for the keyboard.

Dunno, Dave.. It looks as though those executions are carried out through 'Control Panel'. Had a quick look at mine, they appear to be carried out automatically.
