Find Ancestors

Val,

I can't find a marriage for a John Cowans & Isabel Smith anywhere in Scotland. Do you know where abouts they were born roughly? I may be able to look up a birth in that area n then you may be able to try and tie it in with childrens names etc

val

Thank you very much for looking, Emma.
Perhaps William and Sarah didn't get married at all!!!!
Their second child was called Mary so I think you are right that the first William is probably the right one.
Thanks again
Pam

Hi Emma

thank you for your kind offer. I am looking for a marriage and/or a death of Mary McNaught born 1 Aug 1887. Her father was John McNaught (a policeman) who would be deceased at the time of any marriage. He died when Marywas very young. Her mother was Sarah(maiden name Conroy). Sarah could have remarried by the time of any marriage and her name was Gow or Hyslop.

Any help much appreciated.

Barbara

Hi Emma - wonder if you would be able to find anything on John Cameron who married Ann Dickson in Advie, Elgin in 1822 - would be most appreciativee of your help here

Thank you again

Ann,

There is a marriage ...

Marriage of John Cameron & Ann Dickson
25th July 1822
Cromdale & Inverallan - Moray

On the marriage parish it looks like daughter of John Dickson but it's not very clear



I was looking at deaths for John Cameron in the same area and the only one that it may have been was ..

John Cameron
Pauper
(married)
3 November 1858
8h AM
Mains of Tulloch
51 Years Old
Father - Donald Cameron - Farmer (deceased)
Mother - Jane Cameron m/s Smith
Cause of death - Enteritis 6days
Buried in the Churchyard of Kincadine
Registered by Lewis Cook - Sub-Inspector of Poor
Registered on 9th November 1858
ABERNETHY & KINCARDINE - MORAY

Is there any chance you know if they stayed in the Moray area?

You may be able to match up their kids names with their parents names to get a definate - usually they just used the same names over and over throughout the family.



Had a quick look at births for a John Cameron & Ann Dickson ...

Marjory Cameron *twin i'm guessing*
20 October 1825
Father - John Cameron
Mother - Ann Dickson
CROMDALE & INVERALLAN - MORAY

There is other children - but i'm not sure these are related because there's 1 child - Margaret - that was born on the 20th october 1825 too and would be a triplet of Marjory and John but she was registered in a different parish .. so highly doubtful but they are ...

Margaret Cameron
20 October 1825

Hi Emma,

Many thanks for your generous offer.

Births/baptisms for children of John McGuire and Ann Clarke in Dundee from 1872 when they were married.

Anne-Marie

Hi Emma,

Not sure if this is still open and not sure if you can help.

I am looking for the daeth off a James king between 1871-1881.

This is him in 1871 census

1871 Scotland Census

Name: James King
Age: 42
Estimated birth year: abt 1829
Relationship: Head
Spouse's name : Agnes
Gender: Male
Where born: Barony, Lanark
Registration Number: 622/3
Registration district: Shettleston
Civil parish: Shettleston
County: Lanarkshire
Address: 7 Main St (back Sq)
Occupation: Collin (umfit Forermal)
ED: 12
Household schedule number: 12
Line: 1
Roll: CSSCT1871_117

James King 42
In 1881 his wife is living at 50 Main st Tollcross she is a widow. MS Agnes Anderson born 1829 Tollcross
His parents should be Henry & Elizabeth

I would have thought that his death would have been in this area.
I have looked at this below and it his not him.And no other deaths in the area they are living.

1872 KING JAMES M 45 OLD MONKLAND (MIDDLE DISTRICT) /LANARK 652/02 045

The last child born Peter c1873 Tollcross.

I am hoping that the name king hasn't been mispelt being Kane kean.

Thanking you

Alison

me again Emma!!! [sorry] Message from my friend

Grateful thanks to Emma please pass on my gratitude. Bit "confused" (not hard I know) will have to search out locations when I get up there, I have a Margaret born 11/9/1829 to John & Anne whose siblings were Alexander b 3/12/1831, Elizabeth b 27/1/1828, Ann b 11/5/1822, John and twin Marjory b 15/10/1925
Ann, John & Marjory were born in Advie, the otherthree were born in Keith Banff so some things link but others a bit "grey" mind you perhaps thats where I get my grey hair from!!
The mother Ann(e) Dickson I had as born 2/1/1802 with siblings Margaret b 9/91805, and Elizabeth b 4/2/1808. There parents were a Luke Dickson and a Margaret Cameron which may be wrong as I was given this info back in 1988!!


He's on his way to Scotland this afternoon and taking laptop with him - he's keen I'll say that for him - so if you can come up with anything else I can pass it on - please donlt feel obliged to in any way - you have given so much time already

Ann X

Hello Emma
Thanks for kind offer. Hope I can explain this without it being too confusing, don't want to waste your time!
On Family Search, extracted records I have William Bissett married Isabella ( or Isabel) Forbes at St Nicholas Aberdeen 1801. Have children that correspond to this.
I then found a Euphemia Bisset b 1787 St Nicholas Aberdeen in 1787 to William Bisset and Isabel Forbes.Also extracted.
I havent seen the marriage cert for William and Isabel so don't know their ages.
It seems unlikely that this couple would have a child that long before marriage and still have more until 1807, which I have found.
But it also seems unlikely that there is another couple with exactly the same names! A transciption error maybe.
Sorry this is so long. Thanks for your time.
Ann

Thank you Emma let me digest all of that see how it fits in. Much appreciated John

Emma

Thank you for your help
Looking at the names of the father's for the Isabel Smith's
you have found and the fact that family's tend to use the sames names for the next generation's, I think it could be either James or John.

I appreciate the help you given me
Regards
Val
