Tuberculosis - "the captain of all the men of death"
Tuberculosis was perhaps one of the greatest single causes of death, particularly in young people, from the early 1800's right up until the 1960's. Bunyan described it as the "captain of all the men of death".
Tuberculosis is part of the social and economic history of the working people of the towns and cities of Scotland and tells us much about their living and working conditions. It was a disease of overcrowded housing, poverty and malnutrition.
Tuberculosis typically attacks the lungs, but can also affect other parts of the body. It is spread through the air when people who have an active infection cough and sneeze. The classic symptoms of an active infection are a chronic cough with blood-tinged sputum, fever, night sweats, and weight loss (the latter giving rise to term "consumption").
Glasgow had the highest death rate from pulmonary tuberculosis in Britain (25 per 1,000 of population). In 1957 an intensive five week campaign was launched to identify TB carriers in the city. Thirty-seven mobile radiography units manned by volunteers visited housing schemes, offices and factories with the initial aim of X-raying 250,000 people. However, intense media coverage and a weekly prize draw from the names of those who came forward helped raise the number of screenings to nearly 715,000.
The Glasgow campaign led to a significant reduction of the incidence of the disease and became the model for campaigns in other British cities.

Is there a Coulter tartan?
I got asked this question by an American (by which I mean USA citizen) visitor. My off the cuff answer was - these days there is a tartan for just about anyone who wants one! Continuing with my cynical response I went on to point out (no to rant) that tartan was a comparatively modern day invention by 19th and 20th century weavers and city merchants designed to make a profit from the gullible - that it is the stuff of the imaginings of a romantic writer (Sir Walter Scott), an English King of German descent (King George IV) of shortbread tins and garishly clothed dolls.
When George IV visited Scotland in 1822 Scott persuaded him to take part in a plaided pageantry in which he would star as a Stuart Prince and Jacobite Highlander - and so in July 1822 the bloated monarch placed an order with George Hunter & Co of London & Edinburgh for £1,354 and 18 shillings worth of highland outfit in garish red tartan (later known as Royal Stuart), complete with gold chains and assorted weaponry including a dirk, sword and pistols.
I can say this with certainty - if you are a Coulter, your ancestors were Lowlands Scots or Ulster Scots. They were not of the highland clans (Celts) with whom plaid twill (tartan) is traditionally associated in Scotland. That is not to say that the weavers of the lowland Scotland did not weave simple plaids that were associated with districts - or with Jacobean protest against the Union of Parliaments.
When King George III repealed the Act of Proscription of the Highland Garb in 1782 and made it legal to were tartan again little would he have guessed that he was about to create a Scottish icon. A Scottish humourist once observed that when a Scotsman leaves his homeland his skin immediately becomes tartan. The truth is that for the many thousands of Scots who have left these shores (and there is an estimated 50 to 60 million of us around the globe), tartan represent not just home, but a notion of shared culture and values and pride in being a Scot. In my book there is nothing wrong with that! The fact that tartan, along with whisky, has not only become a great Scottish icon but is worth an estimated £350 million to the Scottish economy makes it worth setting aside my cynical tendancies.
But here is the rub - there is no such thing as a Coulter tartan!
Ok - to contradict myself - there is a Coulter tartan if you really want one - and I confess to having a kilt and all of the bits and bobs that go with it (picture to follow).
If you are a Coulter there are three district tartans you could wear:
Galloway Hunting: This was my choice - I have lived and worked in Galloway for most of my life - and this plus the fact that it is also my mother (whose maiden name was Heron) tartan, made the choice a "no brainer". The version below with the yellow line changed to white is produced commercially by both Lochcarron and Ingles Buchan (Textiles). The designer, John Hannay, was a chiropodist living in London and said that this 'everyday tartan' was in four shades of green with a yellow and red stripe. It was woven by Cree Mills of Newton-Stewart with only two shades however and the yellow line was replaced with a white.
Galloway Red - Dress Tartan: One of samples in the Scottish Tartan Society's collection (the MacGregor-Hastie Collection) shows this sett with the narrow stripes of green, red, white and blue. The more usual version uses four threads for the green and the yellow (white in this version). This variation in which the yellow line changed to white is produced commercially by Lochcarron, Ingles Buchan and Moffat Woollen Mill.
County Down - Irish District Tartan: One of a series of Irish District tartans designed by Polly Wittering of the House of Edgar. These are not 'officially sanctioned' District tartans but have apparently proved popular and no doubt in time will be accepted as genuine District rather than Fashion tartans.
It would appear that a Coulter family commissioned D C Dalgliesh of Selkirk to design two "personal" tartans. I guess they wouldn't object to other Coulters wearing these tatans.

Coulter - Births - Kinning Park
Kinning Park was one of the smallest, most densely populated and short lived Burghs in Scotland. Originally part of Govan the local inhabitants established Kinning Park as a Burgh of about 100 acres and 6000 people in 1871. By 1882 it had its own Town Hall, police force, fire service,public baths and schools.
The inaugural council in 1871 was one of the first examples of working class representation in Scotland with 5 "working men" candidates being elected to the 12 member Council under the guidance of Andrew Boa, an activist who also served on Glasgow Trades Council.
When it was annexed into the City of Glasgow in 1905 Kinning Park had a population of 14,000.
Between 1875 and 1906 there were 33 births (17 male, 16 female) registered with the Coulter surname.
I can provide transcripts from the Statutory Register of Births for all 33:

The inaugural council in 1871 was one of the first examples of working class representation in Scotland with 5 "working men" candidates being elected to the 12 member Council under the guidance of Andrew Boa, an activist who also served on Glasgow Trades Council.
When it was annexed into the City of Glasgow in 1905 Kinning Park had a population of 14,000.

Coulter - Origin & Meaning
There are many sources for the origin and meaning of the name - and contradictions amongst them!
Coulter is almost certainly a surname of Scots origin. If your surname is Coulter you are almost certainly descended from people who would have seen themselves as Scots or Ulster Scots.
The surname is long established and widespread in Scotland and in the Ulster Counties of Down and Antrim and may have locational origin from the parish of Coulter in Lanarkshire. Lanarkshire accounts for just over 50% of all births registered in Scotland with the surname between 1855 and 2011. In his "Descriptions of The Sheriffdoms of Lanark and Renfrew - 1831" William Hamilton describes Coulter as "no great parish" that "belongs almost entirely to Coulterallers, Coultermaynes, and Nisbett who all reside in this parish". Culter Parish Church pictured below is the Chancel burial ground for the Coulterallers and Coulter Mains.
Some sources also suggest a locational origin from the lands of Coulter in Aberdeenshire, however the incidence of the surname in Aberdeenshire is low with less than 1.8% of all births registered with the surname inn Scotland between 1855 and 2011. The lands of Coulter in Aberdeenshire are so called from the Scots Gaelic elements "cul" meaning back - in the sense of a position and "tir" meaning country, land or territory.
Other sources suggest an origin from the norse Kaldr - a viking name of the 11th Century.
In etymological dictionaries of the English Language a Coulter is part of a plough (the cutting edge) from the Middle English olter, Anlo Saxon culter and Latin culter - meaning a knife. Robert Burns in "To a Mouse. On Turning Her Nest Up With A Plough" refers to the "cruel coulter" crashing through the mouse's nest.
The first recorded spelling of the name is to be found in Lanarkshire in the year 1226. In the "Report on The Charters of The Duke Of Athole" during the reign of Alexander II (1214 - 1249) of Scotland there is reference to Richard "of Culter" Sheriff of Lanark.
The surname was most probably introduced into the Ulster Counties of Down and Antrim during the Elizabethan and Cromwellian Plantations of Ireland. The parish and village of Ballyculter in south east County Down is named after people with the surname Coulter or Culter.

Joseph Coulter (1821 - 1887)
Joseph Coulter was my great grandfather. He was born in Magherally, Dromara, County Down, Ireland. There is some doubt concerning Joseph's date of birth.
The entry in the Statutory Register of Deaths gives his age at the date of his death as 66, records that he married first Ann Corbett and second Eliza Jane Barron, and that his parents were Hector Coulter (a farmer) and Ellen Logan.
If we are to believe that he died aged 66 would this would mean that he was born in about 1821 - but he married Anne Corbit in 1833. I cannot believe that he married Anne at the age of 12! It is more likely that his second wife Eliza, who registered his death either did not know or was unsure of his date of birth. What we can conclude is that he was born before 1821.
He died at 18 St James Terrace, Kinning Park, Glasgow, Scotland on the 26th April 1887.
Joseph married twice, firstly to Anne Corbit (Ann Corbett) and then to Elizabeth Jane Barron.
Joseph married Anne Corbett in the First Presbyterian Church of Dromara Parish in County Down on the 9th July 1833. (Source 1) (Source 2). Joseph and Anne had one male child:
1. William Coulter (1848 - 1904). Married Charlotte Coulter.
They may also have had a female child - Eliza Ann - who was born in Dromara Parish to a Joseph Coulter and Nancy Corbit on 15th October 1834. Nancy is a form of Ann.
Joseph married Elizabeth Jane Barron (known as Eliza) at Magherally, County Down on the 19th April 1851. Joseph and Eliza had 11 children:
1. Eliza Jane Coulter (1853 - ?)
2. Annie Coulter (1855 - 1919). Married James Coulter.
3. Thomas Coulter (1856 - ?). Married Margaret Hamilton.
4. Agnes Coulter (1859 - 1881)
5. Martha C Coulter (1861 - ?). Married Archibald Clark Buchanan.
6. Joseph Coulter (1863 - 1880)
7. Samuel Coulter (1865 - ?). Married Annie Ford.
8. Robina Coulter (1868 -1902). Married John Smith.
9. Robert William Heron Coulter (1871 - 1934). Married Maggie Drysdale.
10. John Alexander Hendry Coulter (1871 - 1872)
11. John Henry Coulter (1875 - 1947). Married Susanna Bell.
In 1861 Joseph was living with Eliza and sons William (14), Thomas (4) and daughters Eliza Jane (9), Annie (6), Agnes (2) and Martha (2 months) at 2 Newfield Lane, Govan, Glasgow. He was employed as a Labourer.
In 1971 Joseph was living at 38 St James Street (Front Landing), Kinning Park, Glasgow with Eliza, sons William (25), Thomas (14), Joseph (8), Samuel (6), and daughters Eliza (18), Ann (16), Agnes (12), Martha (10) and Robina (3). A Thomas Heron age 70 lodging with the family. Thomas was an Uncle of Eliza's. Joseph was employed as an Engine Keeper at a Steam Crane.
By 1881 the family had moved to 32 Tower Street, Kinning Park, Glasgow. Joseph had died in 1880. William had married. The household comprised Eliza, sons Thomas (24), Samuel (16), John (6) and daughters Agnes (22), Martha (20), and Robina (12). Eliza's Uncle Thomas Heron, now 80, was still living with the family. Joseph was employed asa Getekeeper.

Registration Districts In Scotland
Registration districts in Scotland came into being with the introduction of civil registration in 1855; away from the cities their boundaries usually coincided with civil parishes. They still exist today in their own right and in many places do not coincide with the current council areas; commonly both geographically-large and densely-populated Council Areas will have several registration districts, each with a registrar within easy reach of most residents.
The Local Electoral Administration and Registration Services (Scotland) Act 2006 now allows births and deaths to be registered with any registrar in Scotland, rather than solely in the registration district where the event occurred or in the registration district of usual residence.
As this blog develops I intend to list, by registration district, all births, deaths and marriages registered with the Coulter surname. The following listing will be updated as my work progresses.

Coulter - Births - Plantation
The following is a record of all Coulter births in the Plantation District of Glasgow. Plantation was originally a district of the Burgh of Govan. Govan became a Burgh in 1864 and was at that time the 5th largest Burgh in Scotland. It was incorporated into the City of Glasgow in 1912 - but only after a fair bit of resistance from the Govanites.
There were 26 births (13 male, 13 female) dating from 1883 - 1934. This represents 1.84% of all births registered with the Coulter surname in the City of Glasgow. The ratio of male to female births was 50/50.
