Hi Susie No Halkets

Kathryn Thanks for looking x

Thanks for checking for me Kathryn x

Kathryn, What a strange book to find! Would be grateful if you could check for Jacksons hung for sheep stealing between 1750 and 1824. Family names include Charles James Matthew and John. Possible places are Perthshire or Peebles. Rosemary (Essex)

thanks for that Kathryn - chances are he was the same family but an earlier branch!

Kathryn, please , if you aren't too busy, I am curious to see if any of my Scottish rellies have committed any misdemeanors. Can you take a look for any Brash families please. Thanks Dolly.

Hi Dorothy No Brash listed

Hi Rosemary No Jacksons listed however there is a James Jack executed at Glasgow for robbery on 07/07/1784.

Can you please check for any listings for Huckstep? I can trace my decendants back to 1884- that's as far as i have been so far. But not sure if they came from Scotland or England, but would be interesting to know as it is not a very common surname. Thank you in advance. Karen

Hi, No mention of that surname in book.

Hi Kathryn, Could i ask you to see if any of my rellies where on the wrong side of the law? If you have the time they where Abernethy of Ayr or aberdeenshire, and Goudies of Ayrshire. Thank you regards Kate

Hiya, is there any one with the surname 'Heatlie' please. dawn

Hi Dawn Heatlie No Heatlie but there is a Heatly. Janet Heatly, servant girl executed at Edinburgh for murder of her illigitimate child on 22/04/1761. Kathryn

Hi Kate No rellies on wrong side of law for you either. Kathryn

Hello and thank you for your kind offer. I would be grateful if you could look up the following 3 surnames: BARNET(T) ARMOUR MAILLIE or MALLIE All of the above would have either been Ayrshire, Glasgow, Dundee or Edinburgh Kind regards Sue

Kathryn, Many thanks for your help. I suppose the sheep stealing could have taken place in England. Perhaps it is just one of those mythical family stories. Rosemary

Hi Sue John Barnet executed at Aberdeen for theft by housebreaking on 06/11/1818. Came from Kirktown of Peterhead. There is more detail which if a match I will post. No Armour. No Maillie or Mallie. Kathryn

Hi Karen, There are Mitchells but not of the name or time period that you are looking for. Kathryn

Thanks Kathryn, will keep a record of that. Dawn

Hello Kathryn Thank you for your response and would be grateful for a posting of the full details that you hold for John Barnet executed 1818 Kind regards and thank you for your assistance Sue
