In Scotland, Janet (in all it's spellings) is usually interchangeable with Jessie.

I agree with mgnv. Janet and Jessie are interchangeable but Jane and Jean, while interchangeable, they are not normally forms of Janet / Jessie.



When searching the statutory records index on Scotlandspeople it is often best to select "forename varients". It means that Janet known as Jessie, Jean known as Jane, Jeanie etc., Alexander known as Alex, Sandy etc. will show up in the results found.

Re Samuel and Charlotte Lee of Rutherglen.

One of my relatives married into this same Lee family from Rutherglen.
My rellie married John Lee born 1821 R/Glen
His parents were:
SAMUEL LEE and CHARLOTTE MOFFATT

They are the family at 1851 found by Reggie at 3 Hamilton Road, Rutherglen.
Son John married in 1844

The birth cert of the Samuel whose birth I posted above, would give the date and place of his parent's marriage. There is only one birth for 1867 in Lanark on scotlandspeople.

Yes Nancy,
It is small world.
You may recall that we also have the Denovan/Struthers marriage in common too.

Not sure what I think about the Hydro. I wasn't very sure about the acoustics.

I was there on opening week.... Fleetwood Mac
Since then, my Oh and kids have all been too:
Danny Elfman ( Tim Burton films music), Peter Gabriel and Vampire Weekend

We all thought the same thing. That it's hard to hear .....the audience!!

Oh that's right, how are you getting on with the Denovan/ Struthers branch? I keep getting waylaid and going on to another branch, every now and then going back to where I started.. These days I'm trying to tie up loose ends... Then a relation will say "Oh can you help me with this one" So I never seem to get out of the bit...

Ye! the Hydro was a bit disappointing, thought the seats were just too close in between isles and it was a nuisance getting up every 5 mins to let people who were needing a drink/food pass. We never got up once. The girls behind screamed so much down my poor lugs It was piercing my eardrums. Getting too old for this carry on....

Give me a shout...

Nancy :-D :-D
