Births, marriages, deaths:  The BDM list has a column named "Other" and this suggests the year of another event for the person recorded. We use the word suggests as we have not researched all the families in detail. Where you see a female listed, mainly census and death references, with a surname in brackets, e.g. Elizabeth (WHITE), this means that Elizabeth had the surname shown before she married a Stronach. Family Code eg, AL/CF, allows one to find siblings.

Census: Census information for Scotland relies heavily on transcriptions done by others, is far from complete, and as the cost of viewing the original enumerators sheets is beyond our resources may never be added to. 1911 census data here for Scotland is based on the simple index, added to this is information from earlier years and civil BMD entries. Birth places and occupations for 1911 Scotland may differ from actual, but if a full residential address is shown then information is as per that census. With the data for Scotland, in particular, Ann/Anne/Annie, or Elizabeth/Lizzie/Betty, or Helen/Ellen, or Isabel/Isabella/Isobel/Isobella,  or Jane/Jean/Janet/Jessie, or Margret/Margaret/Maggie could be the same person recorded at different times. Abbreviated given names from original sources have been extended to complete ones.

1841 census data for Scotland, and England, have been modified from that transcribed to include birth places and relationships where shown for same people in later census years.

1911 census data for Scotland is primarily based on the Scotlands People index data with a few confirmed addresses and occupations added where the original documents have been sighted. Other addresses and occupations in blue italics are from the 1901 census.  Cost of purchasing some 300 or so census images is too expensive for our budget.

1921 census data for Scotland is primarily based on the Scotlands People index data to which have been added birth places from the Stronach database, and full names added where the 1921 index was missing them.  Cost of purchasing some 300 or so census images is too expensive for our budget.

Entries for 1939 are from the 1939 Register, England and Wales only, compiled in September 1939 and used for food rationing and other purposes.  It was used after WW2 for the new National Health Service and was used until the 1990s. Entries may be redacted on the online index for 100 years after their birth if they were not recorded as dying prior. Those born after Sept 1939 are not included in the 1939 Register, obviously. If the 1939 Register for Scotland is available this writer is not aware of it being so.

Census references for England and Wales have been added to the census index for the years 1841 - 1921. Find My Past references are used for 1911 and 1921, earlier years use Ancestry.com references using Piece No./Folio No./Page No. Some 1841 entries use the Book No. instead of the Folio No. if the latter is unknown.   We have on file some census page images that can be sent free of charge to those enquiring.

The 1921 census of England and Wales was released online by Find My Past 6 Jan 2022, with transcriptions costing £2.50, and images £3.50.  The 1931 for England and Wakes census was lost in a fire during WW2, but not due to enemy action as claimed by some. The 1921 census for Scotland was released online by Scotlands People in December 2022, see above notes. The 1931 census for Scotland is extant and expected to be released in 2032.
