I see some of you weren't paying attention. A Yes vote was for a new beginning. A No vote was a sign to start trying again. #the45plus

@hailhailhistory 3 sibling births ... Agnes, 1875, registered by the father still using "his mark". David, 1877, by a cousin. Mary, 1879, by James a brother. Registrar appears to be Robert Buchanan on all including James in 1865.

@hailhailhistory A possible explanation... 6/04/1879 Mary Kelly born to David & Agnes Kelly. The birth was registered by James Kelly - brother! A 14 year old registering the birth would surely be unusual? I think the registrar is the same for both births... Did he offer to sort the error?

A small mystery regarding one of Celtic's most famous players. James Kelly was the Bhoys' first captain and part of numerous other achievements. But his birth and death details seem to have some confusions. Can anyone explain them? Or am I just wrong? 1/6 #Celtic #CelticFC

@hailhailhistory Mary Kelly...

@hailhailhistory The fact that the father makes his "mark" on the entry kind of hints that he couldn't read or write & has agreed to what is transcribed. This error would only really have come to light when one of the family was able to read the document.

So, if (!) I am correct, there are some mysteries: 1) Why are there different dates given for his date of birth? 2) Assuming this is Celtic's Kelly, why were his parents' names both wrongly written on his birth record, and corrected 14 years later? 5/6 #Celtic #CelticFC

@thistlearchive Falkirk Herald, 1 June 1921 John, James & P McMullan in the Denny Hibs side.

@andyboyd1967 Andy Mitchell tells that the brother was John (b. 1895) so that looks likely. There was also another James (who was centre half) from 1906 onwards, who was a big player for the club into the 1910s, so it's a bit muddy.

❓ Bridge of Allan Gazette (27 December 1919) reveals that Jimmy McMullan's brother turned out for Partick Thistle 'A', an interesting new discovery! Anyone know his name? We think Denny's centre half of that era was a "J"...

@scott_mclean_73 @CuparArabs Google - Dundee United fans , Scottish Cup final 2010...

@CuparArabs Genuine question Mr Arab, how many do you think is the maximum United could take to a final at Hampden?

Only in Scotland do you have to fight for a 50-50 cup final ticket split.

🟥 Getting rid of the Tories changed nothing - next time let's get rid of Westminster 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland's future is best in Scotland's hands.

To insult two highly respected and free thinking politicians like this is disgraceful. It just shows how far standards in society have fallen. Anyone reposting this insulting photograph should feel utterly ashamed. 😡

@WW1BWFC @footballandwar @CWGC @LeithAthleticFC @HibsTrust @HibernianRetro @dundeeunitedfc @BonnyriggRose Correction... I just hadn't updated the details I had. James Lumsden Milne, born 26 December 1890at 51 Prince Regent Street, Leith.

@WW1BWFC @footballandwar @CWGC @LeithAthleticFC @HibsTrust @HibernianRetro @dundeeunitedfc @BonnyriggRose I've just noticed this is one I didn't have further details for.

@bostonwayne @InFromtheCold1 Here are the plans broken down to area to show (what appears to be) the location of the brothers grave.

@bostonwayne @InFromtheCold1 I don't know if this will help... His brother William (died October 1926) has an entry on the Find A Grave website for Bishopwearmouth Cemetery. Plot : Ward 43, section A, plot 25. Looking at the plan this is off the Chester Road (A183), beside the crematorium grounds.

The following IFCP 'Grave Finds' have been verified by CWGC and are now official war graves in their care. ALDOUS, Henry Edward 16.02.19 CHAPMAN, Thomas Tilley 20.11.17 Buried in Woodgrange Park Cemetery, East Ham, Essex

@footballmemorys "virtually indestructible!" I wonder if Norman Hunter, Ron Harris, Tommy Smith... Saw this as a personal challenge?
