Reggie!! is that marriage details above? I'm not seeing it on Scotlandspeople :-S

It is there on SP.

It's on the free familysearch site.........................I don't have access to SP

Mmm! I must be misspelling it...Thanks al have another look ;-)

Hi Reggie, traced the marriage in Bridgeton in 1867 not 65... Looks like they had 3 children James Elizabeth and Bethia, but they're not with them in 1871...Died perhaps, I did see that Bethia and James have died in infancy, but no death for Elizabeth. I did see an Elizabeth in 1871 with William and Janet, but not sure these are the right parents as William has a different occupation and this Janet is only a couple years older and not 10...

Strange - The only marriage I am seeing is the 1865 one in Bridgeton.......... not seeing one in 1867.

If Janet was 50 in 1871 and they married in 1867 When and where were the 3 children born please?

What names are given for Janet's parents on the marriage registration please?

Oh dear Sorry, my eyes are going squint, I was working last night and have been on this too long, your right Reggie it was 1865, I was looking at a birth.. :-(

I did trace the 2 deaths in infancy for Bethia and James Bisset, but no sign of Elizabeth, yet she wasn't with her parents in 1871 Liverpool.

:-S

I haven't got around to purchasing the marriage certificate, budget wont allow at the moment and I want to make double sure its the same William Bisset. Elizabeth Bisset was born 1866, James 1869 and Bethia 1871 all Bridgeton

Bethia died the same year 1871 and James in 1869.

Ok - looked at the marriage. He's not your man. He is the carpet weaver son of James Bisset and Bethia Forbes. The Janet he married is 4 years younger than him.

Doubt if they're the children of this William and Janet......as rootgatherer pointed out-Janet was a little old and besides they were in England in 1871.


Can anyone make out the supposed birthplace of Janet in 1871 please?

Maureen

Have you looked for marriages or deaths for William's siblings to check out the name given for the mother please?

Yes! I looked at the deaths for James and Bethia with the mothers surname of Wylie, but it didn't come up with that name, just came up without it, so I'm guessing this isn't our William and Janet Wylie's children, perhaps Janet was too old for children if she is already 50 in 1871.
