I'm interested in answers to this too.
I've noticed on military records that the word 'Run' means the man deserted.

Just at thought, military desertion in Australia was published in the...

Recently we created a WhatsApp group to exchange venue addresses and travel plans, and to keep a load of people abreast of what was going on. That developed into an exchange of stories and photos...

Also, in case you didn't know, Genealogy InTime tells that the Swedish National Archives (Riksarkivet) announced that all their digital archives are now available to search for free (at the moment...

Also perhaps of interest, in March 1842 Robert Channing placed this ad in 'Post- och Inrikes Tidninga' :

”Marstrands helsogifvande Bad-inrättning öppnas den 7 Juni och fortgår till slutet af ...

Not the answer you want, but perhaps interesting. I found a tabulation of Marstrand deaths (perhaps something that you already know about), here:...

Or Bower street. I can't find a Bower street in Deptford, but there was one off Commercial road (?)

Could it be Bowshed? A bowshed was a boat-building shed; something that a shipwright/carpenter could have been involved in building.

That's a difficult one.
Is not that the same text further-up that page, the top line of that image snippet?

This site has a good list of historic occupations, but I couldn't see a fit with that...

Yeah, I agree with that, I want good proof too.

Janet, the whatsinaname.net site states: "In Scotland Jean and Jane are fully interchangeable. Occasionally Jean &/or Jane have been used as a synonym for Janet, especially in early records, but...

Yes, that John 'Grindly' with the children at 7 Oxford lane, Gorbals in 1841 (that seem to be a good fit for Cathrine/Catharine Ramsay Willox's children) could well be he, given to be born abt. 1796....

I do think you are right, that that Janet Grindlay who died in 1824 must be the daughter born 30 Dec 1819, bapt. 23 ajan 1820.

There was another Janet Grindlay baptised in Gorbals 11 Nov 1822 (but...

Janet, yes I have the relevant two pages of that 1851 Cowdenhill, Carriden census in front of me now.
At the bottom of page 11, household no. 43, there are John Grindlay, Isabella Grindlay and...

Thank you Annalies, for those suggestions on where to look next, much appreciated!
Thank you Annalies & Leslie both, for your thoughts that I should treat son George's input to his father's death...

Thank you Janet, for ages I've believed that he was indeed the son of John Grindlay & Catharine Ramsay Willox -that is until I got the image of his death record, where son George had other ideas!

Sorry all, my typo, the 1884 date is the correct one.
John Grindlay died 22 Apr 1884 Falkirk, said to be 70 years old.

One other thing, looking for that Janet Grindlay, found in Cowdenhillin...

The subject of my problem is the John Grindlay who married Isabella Laing Dalrymple 25 Jun 1844 Carriden, West Lothian. After his marriage his history is pretty clear (see below). When he died 22 Apr...

I solved the identity of Emma Linn myself.

She was indeed the Emma Isabel Linn, who died Battersea 12 Feb 1944.

This is proven by this record " England, Andrews Newspaper Index Cards,...

I think I've found Emma Linn's baptism, on 5 Jun 1891 Sutton Christ Church, Surrey.
Her parents are not named, and there is no birthdate given. Her address is given as "SMDS", ie. South Metropolitan...
