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.
HOW TO USE THESE LISTINGS:
Paragraph headings are listed with codes, which represent the newspaper source:

[05] Glasgow Saturday Post &Paisley and Renfrewshire Reformer
Other publications are listed individually.
The spelling of names can change over the years. For example, It was common to have Catharine unlike today's popular Catherine, and modern day Todd was more commonly spelt Tod, Kerr was spelt Ker etc.
Births – these notices rarely gave the name of the mother or child. The address and father's name will be listed, unless the mother was single/widowed.
Marriages – These have the place of the marriage, the bride and groom’s names, the bride’s father’s name and occupation, and often a clue as to other siblings of the same gender.
Deaths – These often mention the address of death, the spouse’s name, or the parent’s name/s in the case of a child death.

GREENOCK – MAN DROWNED [02]
The brig Sir Robert Campbell left this port for Newfoundland on the afternoon of Monday last, and proceeded down the
river in tow of a steamer. When off the Battery Point, the second mate, a fine young man of twenty years of age, named
Philip Benson, son of Mr Benson, rigger, while in the act of unfurling the sails, missed his hold and fell overboard. A
life-buoy was immediately thrown in after him, but he did not succeed in reaching it. A boat was then lowered, but on
account of the way on the vessel it was swamped, and two men were with difficulty rescued. In the mean time, Mr
Benson appeared to have struck towards the shore, but soon after was seen to sink. The melancholy occurrence took
place in sight of the three brothers, and a sister, who is the wife of the captain, who were accompanying the vessel a
short distance down the river. The event, which has taken away a promising young man in the prime and vigour of life,
has plunged a worthy family into sorrow. As yet the body has not been recovered. – Greenock Herald.
