Thanks very much for sharing this website Laurane. It will be useful to me. It also highlights how handy to stay on the main Scotland list as you would miss out of all what is on offer for the whole of Scotland if you only were on a County list. I hope to be on one or two myself, but I will say with this one for this type of goody.

I have found in the past as well, that when you try to just be on a Name list for a particular country instead of a name list for all over, it soon drops off. When browsing the rootsweb list prior to this list, to see which was the most active, I found the Scotland list rather than the county list seemed to be the most active and most of the others were dormant already. I hope to subscribe to Renfrewshire, but I dont think it will be any more active than the Rootsweb one. What may save the lists is the fact you can now put images over on groups.io, that you were not able to on rootsweb.. That will be a plus I think.

regards
Edie

Islay only please.

To get only Islay mail go to the main page https://scotland-genealogy.groups.io  and look in the top left corner. There is a selection for “sub-groups”. Click there and it takes you to a list where you can select “Islay”.

Diane, you say below that you don't have to get emails from both lists if you don't want, but didn't say how to do that! Many of us want the Islay feed but not the Scots feed.

Lynn,

 

There is a very active Islay list - we are a subgroup to this main Scots list. (There are other subgroups.)

 

You don't have to get e-mails from both, if you don't want.  And you can always go to your Groups.io home page to read messages.

 

Islay (subgroup of Scots) -  https://scotland-genealogy.groups.io/g/Islay

Just a question - Did I miss something when we changed from Rootsweb to this site? Is it now a general Scotland not specifically Islay?

Have a look at this URL - https://tinyurl.com/ScotPlaces-R-glen - it gives some info on the farm at Spittal.

I am trying to work out exactly where someone was buried in Glasgow in 1840.
I have the image from ScotlandsPeople [1]
 Interments from the Royal Infirmary during May 1840
 Date of registration of death: April 14 [probably May - too many dittos]
 Date of burial: 15
 Murdoch MCKINLAY, porter
 Residence: Stertwill.. [? Stockwell Street]
 Undertakers: Simpson
 Where buried -
 - in the lair of Common Ground
 - churchyard: St. Mary
 Disease: fever
 Aged 45
Lair = (Scots): A burial space reserved in a graveyard.
There were 25 people on this page buried in common ground at St. Mary's
So, was he buried in common ground in the churchyard of St. Mary's?
And if so, which church is it?
From what I've managed to find so far there is a St. Mary's church but it's Roman Catholic, not Church of Scotland and it wasn't opened until 1842.
But I have just found on FindMyPast a record of his burial at Glasgow High Church, Glasgow [2]
Is Glasgow High Church, Glasgow Cathedral? There was a large burial ground there which opened in 1833. [3]
Thank you reading this far,
