This is probably one of the silliest questions I have ever asked but here goes.

Which is best to view an Image or a Transcription ?

I have a few credits left on FMP and don't want to waste them .

thank you

Image...............every time, for anything

Thanks very much Reggie ,
I will keep that in mind .

I agree with Reggie.

However bad the writing you will be able to make your own decision as to what you see.

Chris

Thank you for replying Chris

You could always ask on here, someone will look it up for you

Thanks jax,
That's very kind but I have so many brick walls I wouldn't know where to start .

One in particular is my grandad's brother Alexander Moore d.o.b. 26/4/1880 in Glasgow. He just seems to have disappeared after 1881 .

I can't find a marriage or death for him in Scotland so he possibly went to England or emigrated , his older sister went to Liverpool with her family , they are on the 1911 census and another sister emigrated to Canada , this is why I thought FMP may help.

Could we please have the names of other family members? That way we can pick up on his 1881 census and see if we can find anything else.

Have you found his parents in 1891 (he would only have been 11, so unlikely to have emigrated by then). What were his parents' names?

So Sorry ,

He is on the 1891 with his parents, they are Henry Moore b c 1840 Ireland and Margaret b c 1843 Glasgow.

The address in 1891 was 91, Yorkhill street Anderston, Glasgow.

In case you don't have it, this will be his parents' marriage:

Thank you , I will give it a go,

Do you have his birth certificate? There is this that names his mother as Mrs Stuart, 860 (or 86a) New City Rd, Glasgow. 91 Yorkhill St has been scored out.
He was a rivet heater born in Kelvinhaugh, Glasgow and was a Roman Catholic.
May be worth considering?

Alviegal,

I am keeping my fingers crossed on this one .

His mother Margaret Moore nee Stewart was born in New City Road according to poor relief records I have .

I will check on his birth certificate but I do know it shows the date as 26th April 1880 but not sure of the address off hand but definitely the Kelvinhaugh area of Glasgow, as most of my family were .

I will take a look on fmp

You can see his service record on fmp, his last discharge was in 1906 from the 'Hyacinth.' The reason was D.D. No idea what that means I'm afraid. Possibly Dishonorable Discharge? He seems to have deserted a few times.

It all sounds very promising though.

You will find it like this

Moore Alexander 1880 — 1898 Service Records —
then click on the camera image.



HMS Hyacinth was one of three Highflyer-class protected cruisers built for the Royal Navy in the 1890s. Initially assigned to the Channel Fleet, she spent much of her early career as flagship for the East Indies Station. She was reduced to reserve in 1912 after a lengthy refit before becoming the flagship of the Cape of Good Hope Station in 1913.

alviegal,

Thank you so much for your help, this is my grandad's older brother .

I can't believe I have finally found him after 5 years of searching, or I should say you have found him .

I have been shouting at the laptop while the rest of the family are shouting at the football , suffice to say I am more excited than my kids .

All I have to do now is carry on the search and see if he went on to marry and have a family.

You're very welcome Jean. I know the feeling when you finally break down a brick wall....trouble is, I'm sure there are a few more to break down!

Let us know if we can help any more.

Liz
