Notes about William Steel

1. Ref Scottish Coalmining Ancestors by Lindsay S. Reeks.
William, b. 8 May, bp. 14 May 1738, Newton p., wit: Abraham Steel, George Wilson [2]. Pr. of m. 18 Jul., m. 5 Aug. 1760, Newton p., Margaret
Moffat, wit: George Steel, Abram Moffat [8]. It is believed the above m. relates to the ancestor, as the witness, George Steel, was thought to be his brother. No further record of this couple has been found, and it is thought that they may have moved to a more distant area, since the surrounding parishes were checked for bps. of their children.

      About the Book

      This book is a work of over 30 years research of records of coalmining parishes of Scotland in the counties of Midlothian, Fife, West Lothian, East Lothian, Lanark, and Stirling; the counties of Northumberland and Durham in England, and a few areas of Australia.

      The families include ANDERSON, ARCHIBALD, BLACK, BOYD, BROWN, CHEYNE, CRAWFORD, CUNNINGHAM, FLEUCKER, JACK, JOHNSTON, KING, LINDSAY, LOURIE, MILLER, MOFFAT, NEILSON, PENTLAND, PORTEOUS, REID, ROBERTSON, RUSSEL, SMITH, STEEL, WALKER, WILLIAMSON, WILSON, and others. Many of them are traced back well over 300 years. Each line, treated alphabetically, is fully documented with sources used, contains supportive evidence, and an index of complete names. Some information on Scottish family research, and on Scottish coalminers, is also given.

      The book is 293 pages, hardcover, and is illustrated.
