Ooh dat pesky Rosalina!

I am pretty sure that the Catherine Gill in Burdet Street in 1891 and 1901 is your Catherine/Kate Scott born circa 1861. The age is correct in 1891 but 10 years out in 1901 - possibly a transcription error by the enumerator.

The 1888 Catherine Scott/Thomas Gill marriage is on FamilySearch. Her father was Daniel Scott.

I'm with you now! She's 19 in the 1881 Census and FamilySearch has her marriage age as 25 so that looks good to me. Thanks for all of your hard work on this, I've tried to pin her down but hadn't so far.

Come on, retiringtype, admit it, you've got a time machine, right?! Seriously though, I'll have a looksee into your info, although I would imagine you are correct. It seems that Burnet Street was riddled with Scotts' - maybe they were the local Scouse mafia, who knows? ;o) MANY thanks for all of your input to this thread.

Rosalina Scott is still my mystery girl, she was born on the 24th of August 1872 in Liverpool to Daniel & Catherine Scott [Walsh]. She can be found on the 1881 Census [aged 9] at
6 Ivy Terrace, Burnet Street, Liverpool, recorded as 'Rosalind', but she was definitely 'Rosalina' - according to her birth record [in Latin]. After this census she appears to disappear off the face of the planet, or maybe just Liverpool. Blue, get in your time machine and do your stuff [I know you've got one!], many thanks in advance, folks.

Hi, haven't had time to look yet but thought I'd just ask the question - is it the birth certificate that you have Rosalina from as this is not usually in Latin, I'm suspecting this is a baptism entry from an RC church, which priests usually do enter in Latin and in which case in other records we should be looking for a variety of Rosalind/Rosalina/Rose/Rosa etc. and probably the best will be Ros* as using a wild card covers all eventualities.

Did you ever find out what happened to the parents too? I can't see them on the later censii but will have more a look later.
Maybe they all moved abroad, good chance they will have stayed together as she would be 18 in 1891.

Seems sensible to have the topics merged, thanks Bert.

Yep, it is a baptism record but also states the DOB. I have tried wildcard searches but came up with nothing so far. Thanks.

Oopsy! I forgot about that, thanks Bertione.

Rosalina is from my mum's mum's side of the family. Her parents may possibly have moved abroad, there were plenty of 'Scotts' in America for sure. As yet, I've found nothing concrete. Thanks Luke.
