I have hit a brick wall. I have a marriage of John Perrie and Isabella Wilson married 1809 Larbert, Stirlingshire. I have managed to follow Isabella right through the years. but I can find nothing on John. Isabella was a widow in the 1851 census. They were in Glasgow by 1820. I have a copy of the marriage but it gives very little on it. Any ideas where I go from now? thanks for any help or advice Marion

Scotlandspeople are putting 1841 on site by end of February so if you have no luck before then it will be an idea to look then

http://www(.)lightage(.)demon(.)co(.)uk/MINING.htm#Top Have you tried this website that records mining accidents - not sure if it is only for England and Wales. It has major and minor accidents on it in indexes by surname and you can order copies of the reports for a few pounds. Also have you tried looking for the spelling as 'perry, parrie or parry' incase it was recorded incorrectly. This may not be able to help you but it may be useful for others. This site also has links to police orders, and black sheep (crimes recorded in the newspapers) and other useful things. Regards Claire
