Don't know what happened to my Message but here it is again
I have Jane/Jean Liddle married to John Dermaid 1846 Linlithgow West Lothian
51 census 122 High st Linlithgow
Jean McDermaid 32
David Potter 30
Margaret potter 22
MARION COWEN 3 NIECE>> which we know is right

71 Census 136 High st
Jane Liddle 53
George Liddle son 16 >>Illegit
George McKay 44

81 census 186 High ST
Jane McDiarmid 63
George Liddle s 26
George McKay 44

91 census 193 High St
Jeane McDermaid 73
George Lddle 34
Cecilia Stanners 9

Can't find her in the 61 census and just found out on Scotlands People that George's birth certificate has as father George McKay but a line through it with illegit son put in at the side??

I'm hoping the 61 census might give a clue as to what was happening as she went from her married name to her maiden name then back again

Thank you for looking

I was hoping I could find his parents but may be Mary died in child birth and may be that's why William wasn't christened

If William wasn't christened he won't appear in the OPRs.

Thank you for that I do have George & Cecilia, Not got the marriages of the other Liddle's

It's just annoying when you know someone exists but you can't find them,

Still can't find anything on William in the 1851 census living with his grandparents

I've found out that Mary Liddell/Liddle married Archibald Johnston 31/1/1844

Looked on Scotlands people but as yet I can't find a birth for William or a death for his parents Mary & Archibald and nothing after the marriage of Mary & Archibald

Another pair of eyes could help in solving this mystery please

Thank you for your help I hadn't got Margaret liddle as a daughter so no wonder couldn't find them, so their could actually be other children to Thomas Liddle & Marion Murray I haven't got??

I did have the ones that have kindly been looked into for me, It gets a lot harder when you get back beyond the censuses and when the fathers are in the army.

Marion Murray's father Alexander was a soldier in the Fencibles all the details we have for marrion puts her Dof B as 1790 died 1873 aged 83 but we've just found a Marron Murray 1795 father Alexander a Riom soldier in the South Fencibles ??? all seems to fit apart from her age :-S

Margaret Cowan is the daughter of William Cowan and Margaret Liddle

This is her marriage on Scotland's People in 1874:

1874 TURNBULL JOHN COWAN MARGARET LINLITHGOW /WEST LOTHIAN 668/00 0005

Too many William Johnston's but I think it is likely that he is the son of one of the Liddle's daughters.

Catherine

Yes I have Nothing shows up really for Linlithgow but wondering if they weren't born there if Thomas was their father he was a journeyman shoemaker ??
To go into all of them it would cost a fortune thinking if it could be narrowed down
