All care was taken to ensure accuracy, but occasionally it isn’t possible to read the information, due to the quality of the surviving documents. When a best guess was made, this is indicated with a question mark in brackets (?). When one or more characters could not be identified, they are replaced with ‘#’. We cannot be held responsible for errors made as the transcriptions. These were made to the best of our ability.
The lists below are in order in which they were published in their respective newspapers. They may not be in strict chronological order. You can either read through the monthly listings, or you can use the search facility at the top-left corner of this page.
TIP: If you are looking for, let’s say James Smith, by typing in that name you will get every James and every Smith listed in the HappyHaggis website, which might not be too useful. If you use speech marks ”James Smith” you will only get the full name coming up. You can just search for a surname or even a street name if you wish. The HappyHaggis website if fully searchable.

BOY DROWNED [02]
On Saturday afternoon, a boy, 14 years of age, named William Spiers, was found drowned in a hot water
pond in the vicinity of Mr Dixon’s iron works, situated at the extremity of Crown Street. It is conjectured
that the unfortunate deceased had been seized with cramp while bathing. The body was claimed by a
brother who resides in Clyde Street, Calton. Mr Kirkwood, the Inspector of Govan parish, granted a
coffin and ground for the internment of the deceased.
FATAL ACCIDENT [02]
About four o’clock on Saturday afternoon, while a labourer named James lauder, was engaged, on the
paddle-box of the steamer Lyra, fastening the bow-line of the Princess Royal steamer, which was
preparing to leave the harbour, he unfortunately fell through the paddle-box, which was open at the time,
into the water. The unfortunate man never rose to the surface in life, and it is conjectured he must have
been killed in his descent through the paddle-wheel. His head was very much cut. The deceased was
married, was about 23 years of age, and was always a sober, industrious man. We believe no blame is
attached to any of the persons connected with the Lyra.
FATAL ACCIDENT [02]
On Wednesday night, about six o’clock, a lad of seventeen years of age, named Peter Buchan, while

off as fast as he could. – Scotsman.

About the end of last week, William Shepherd, sheriff-officer, having been sent from Cupar to largo to

doubts entertained by his friends were removed by the melancholy intelligence that his body had been
found about Keil’s Den, near Largo. He was an old man, and has acted as a sheriff-officer since August
1824. He has left a widow to deplore his loss. We may add as somewhat remarkable, that this is the third
sheriff-officer belonging to Cupar who has been found dead under much the same circumstances within
these few years. – Fife Herald.

circumstances looked rather suspicious, and Robertson was taken into custody, and the case reported to
the Sheriff. A post mortem examination was accordingly made, which showed that death was the result of
apoplexy. The husband was, of course, liberated. It appears that the deceased was a poor drunken wretch,
who, on Friday, sold the very bed on which she had lain, and drunk herself to death with the proceeds.

We regret to learn that on Tuesday last, a labouring man met with an accident at the Dalry station of the
Glasgow and South-Western Railway, which unfortunately proved fatal. We understand his name was
John McKail, and was engaged upon the line as surfaceman, but having found his way into the station
while on one of the luggage trains was shunting wagons there, he leaped upon the buffers of the engine
and fell. He was so severely bruised that he died almost instantaneously. – Ayr Advertiser.

GREENOCK [02]
On Tuesday the body of a young man named William Pugsley, aged twenty, one of the boatmen
frequenting the quays, was found floating in the river, at the back of the Steamboat Quay. He had left his
father’s house in Saturday night in some displeasure, muttering that he would drown himself and though
he did not return, as similar language was not unfrequently used by him, and he was in the habit of
leading a rather irregular life, his absence created no uneasiness, till the finding of his body raised the
conjecture that the unfortunate youth had succeeded in carrying into effect his rash purpose. – Greenock
