JC If you get a chance to see the whole episode - have a look at the whole clip on her visit to the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths. The building was quite ornate as you can imagine and they found some interesting records.

Hi Tracey

Thanks everso

Thought that Janet's baptism date would have been a couple of years earlier.

Her burial details for Howff Graveyard Dundee in 1852 gave her age as 79

If it's not tooooo much trouble could you have a look to see if she is on the 1851 census Dundee (widowed). In 1841 she and David are in Thomson Street Dundee.

thanks again
Gill

What is the reasoning to the answer given on this ?
If the man has no fathers name on his marriage cert surely he is most likely illegit and would not be found with one on census..
And its ticked as solved??
Im going to bed,I cant take all this excitement any longer...

Edits.
After looking at census for it ,did both John Ponds marry a Maria then?
Think that one is wierd..

More edits.
Janey
Its now the correct URL,but I dont know what happened about the last one,that happens a bit on here now as others have it happen too that they give an url and it takes you to the request review page.
But it has been picked up on now that the answer was not correct and that the tick should not have been given..

He sure would be Lk if you introduced him to this lot at the same time poor chap.
Imagine.
Join GR as they are really good at helping you to find things and then he bumps into the likes of Tracey,Janey and others...
Poor chap would need some good stiff drinks within an hour .!

Hi Janey,

I don't know if anyone has posted this for you:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/whodoyouthinkyouare/new-stories/patsy-kensit/how-we-did-it_4.shtml

It's a pity it didn't show the whole section on her ancestor & goldbeaters as it was quite interesting,

I am getting very frustrated with the site at present.
I did some research for a patient and gave it to him today. I had to tell him it was not a good time to start on here as it would totally confuse him.

Janey - no Nellie was a paternal aunt - the Drouin aunts were my dad's maternal aunts. There were two - Elizabeth MS Patterson came over with his real uncle and their 3 sons,and died. Joseph Massie remarried to aunt Rebecca MS Wyness and they eventually returned to Aberdeen. I found the death of 1 son in Montreal and another married in Gaspe and had 1 daur there and 1 in Montreal (that I know of) and I've seen a tree giving his wife Susanna MS Minchinton's death in Montreal 1974. No trace of the 3rd son (so far). Maybe I'll see something in 2014 when the 1921 gets released?
