  • With a History of the Blacks of Breich Water District
    Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from National Library of Scotland http://www.archive.org/details/melodiesmemoriesOOblac Melodies and Memories. : BROXBURN PRINTED BY A. F. STEEL. Aelodies AND Aeavories WITH A HISTORY OP THE BLACKS OF BREICH WATER DISTRICT. By John Black GLASGOW A. M'LAREN & SON, Argyle Street 1909 c \ e^» ^ y ? in % 1964 '^ Biographical Sketch. JOHN BLACK, author of many poems and prose sketches, came upon the stage of life just as the year of grace 1849 was drawing to a close. He is the eighth of a family of four sons and eight daughters, who were brought up at the farm of East Handaxwood, in West Calder Parish, and near Fauldhouse, Linlithgowshire, the district which, as Bentybrae, he has sung and depicted with tenderness and fidelity. Mr Black comes of a rhyming family, one of his brothers and two of his sisters being capable of expressing their thoughts in verse. Early last century his maternal great- grandfather, James Smith, published a volume of verses, and was well known in Lanarkshire as " the quaint Wishaw poet." It is, however, to Robert Tennant, the postman poet, that Mr Black attributes the influence which moved him in the direction of the muse, and, being fond of reading, many of our standard poets won his esteem, and doubtless influenced his thoughts. When about twenty-three years of age, Mr Black com- menced to contribute to the poet's corner of various news- papers and magazines. A large number of his pieces have appeared in The Hamilton Advertiser. In enumerating books which have especially helped him, our friend humorously includes the Pronouncing Dictionary, which he carried in his pocket.

  • Your Scottish Coal Mining Ancestors
    Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Your Scottish Coal Mining Ancestors May 2017 [1] Cover Photograph: Image. Hutton, Guthrie. ‘How are you off for Coals’. Collection: National Mining Museum Scotland. NGSMM2005.3397. [2] Introduction The aim of this booklet is to help you research your Scottish coal mining ancestors and the conditions in which they lived and worked. There has been coal mining in Scotland for over a thousand years, operating in tens of thousands of pits. Scottish mining saw its peak in the early years of the twentieth century, during which 10% of the Scottish population was involved in the industry. Few detailed employment records exist from the period before nationalisation in 1947. However, there are many sources available which can shed light on conditions in the workplace and at home, and help to give a more complete picture of your ancestor’s life. First Steps Before launching into specific mining related research, it is advisable to build up a comprehensive picture of your ancestors by gathering information from relatives, and by searching standard family history records. Key record sets include: statutory registers (births, marriages and deaths from 1855 onwards); Old Parish Records (baptisms, marriages and banns, and burials, up to 1855); census returns (1841-1911); Kirk Session Minutes; Memorial Inscriptions - a large collection of these is held at the Scottish Genealogy Society Library; directories – many, covering the period 1773 to 1911, are available digitally via the National Library of Scotland; newspapers; wills and testaments; legal and property records. You can find these records in libraries and record offices, family history centres, and online databases.
