SWEET CAROLINE: PERFECT:
Thank you very much for doing that for me as Margaret is another "suspect".
I also have a copy of a travel document for the brother Charles and one of the questions on it asks; "name of nearest relative in country whence passenger came". Charles put down his sisters name AND also the details of an aunt. The
writing was difficult to make-out because he tried to cram the info into the space allowed for the answer and you were
only supposed to write the details of one relative. So why did he write 2 lots of details ? Anyway, I'm wandering off track here. On this document he states that the aunt comes from Barton,Bunton,Burdon (as I said, difficult to read),
near Alyth. I always thought it said Barnton or Bardon and I was right, according to your info on that census.
So, once again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ps: YES, I tried looking for a poor relief record at the Mitchell last year, when I first started this research and never
got anywhere but that's when I did not know very much. I think I will give it another try, next time I'm in Glasgow.
It may also be worth checking Ayrshire poor relief records, after-all, that's were she lived and only went back to
Glasgow to 'give birth & hide the pregnancies', AS FAR AS WE KNOW ?
