I have no experience whatsoever of Scottish records. Robert TROTTER, b 1833 Glasgow son of Thomas Trotter and I think Mary (Miller) He ended up marrying in New Zealand - suspect he came out during the gold rush (abt 1863) Where do I go next?? Peter

First port of call is usually Scotlandpeople website. Or as you know IGI. Suzanne

There's only one Robert Trotter born c1833 in 1841 census index for Glasgow. Parents James and Elizabeth. Liz

Peter, Don't know if this site would help? Only found it today when looking for info on possible ancestor James Heatherill possibly sentenced to transportation in Edinburgh c.1828. www(.)nas(.)gov(.)uk/guides/crime(.)asp Home Page: www(.)nas(.)gov(.)uk/ Maggie

Thanks - Robert Russell Trotter is the one I have. Will look at the other site, but I don't think he will be a convict Peter

Hi, Can someone tell me what IGI is, sounds useful :) Where are you - I'm in Whangarei NZ

Under a kilt Peter??? Who knows what you might find. Rebs x ;-P *heads back to the naughty corner* James, International Genealogical Indexes can be found at www.familysearch.org It's a site run by the Morman church, often very useful, but be careful to check entries as there have been some bizarre errors found

James Hope this helps. http://www*familysearch*org/ (LDS) http://www*scotsorigins*com/ Marion

Thanks Kathy - will wait for the 51 Peter
