    Hello Fellow researcher,



    Looking for Robin family from Pollokshields, Glasgow, Scotland.



    I am especially trying to find my Uncle's grave site:

    died at the Seaman's Hospital in Greenwich, Kent, England.



    Thanks for stopping by.

    Thank you, pejay.
    Yes, Scotland's People has been great. Found lots of BMD records plus old wills & last testaments. Also have used the LDS site. But it is hard to find present day cousins and or relatives. I have over 400 people in my family tree so far. Looking for my Uncle's burial site he died in 1953 at the Greenwich Seaman's Hospital in Kent . Now that is a puzzle trying to get information on burial places! Then my great-grandmother's second husband was an American-Scot she moved from Scotland to Kentucky and died there in 1885. Now records before 1900 in Kentucky are hard to find. Newspaper articles and some birth/death/marriage records are online via the Kentucky University and Library after 1900. Makes researching interesting and sometimes frustrating!

    UPDATE:
    I have found my Uncle's last resting place thanks to a dedicated and profesional person at the Enfield Crematorium office. It takes a professional, dedicated, compassionate and kind person to go that extra step.
    Many records are not on computers.
    I would guess that many old records are in ledgers in boxes in dusty back storage rooms shelved and not always easy access.

    Now just need to wait till my cousin can visit and see if he can locate the grave. It is located in the Northern Section of Tottenham Cemetery, White Hart Lane. I now have the lot number #10814. When my cousin finally gets to visit he will need help from the grounds men it is a huge place!

    Hello Everyone,
    I do hope you are all finding what you are researching and looking for. I'm still on the hunt but it seems I have slowed down and there is less for me to find on line. Wish I could get my gum shoes on and trek over to check out the actual records. However as I have said before my travel days are over.
    I did find two advert show cards from an antique shop in the UK of my great-great-grandfather's (Robert Robin d. 1877) businesses. One of many businesses was Robin & Houston's Soaps & Candles of Glasgow & Paisley est. 1856.

    ~Happy thoughts through my looking-glass~
