Find Ancestors

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone help me with this one, my grandmother's maiden name was Anne Elizabeth Scott born c1891 and she married a James Clusker in Fife in 1910.

I am trying to trace her father a John Scott and his wife an Ann Elizabeth or Elizabeth Ann I do not have her maiden name.

Due to my inexperience at this lark I have used up a lot of credits on Scotlands People trying to get information and all I have found out is that John Scott was a coal miner and that he may have been born c1865 in Crofthead, Sutherlandshire.

Regards,

James Clusker :-(

1901 England
Found this family...but not a coal miner...

James ...Do you want to comment on your Clusker thread so it can be taken forward or no as the case may be..???

For reference: http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1309774

Thanks Vera,

I don't think that is the family that I am looking for.

I got this from the 1901 Scotland Census of Find My Past and as the address is in Auchtertool and as town is shown on my grandmothers marriage certificate as her place of residence at the time of her marriage, I am sure it is this John Scott born 1865 that I am looking for.

Many thanks for your assistance,

Hi Eringobragh1916, not sure what you mean by "Do you want to comment on your Clusker thread" :-(

Do you want to add any comments to the thread...???

Cant do much else with it until you respond to some of the queries...

Hi AnnCardiff and MarieCeleste,

Thanks for the input but from your previous help I have traced most of those in my family with the name Clusker back to c1821.

Regards,

James Clusker :-)

Hi James,
I did a quick search on SP and found that between 1885 and 1895, there was only one child born with the EXACT name of Ann Elizabeth Scott ( no "E" in Ann)
This child was registered in Colinton, Edinburgh in 1890

Do you have the 1910 marriage cert? The names of both sets of parents should be listed on this.

Anne

I think this is probably the Ann whose birth Anne found (I can find a James Clusker on the 1911 with a wife Elizabeth but not with an Ann, so it looks as if she went by her second name) but her father is William, a miller:

Hi Anne,

On 1910 marriage certificate for my grandparents James Clusker and Anne Elizabeth Scott and Anne's place of residence at the time of the marriage is given as Thistleford Farm Cottage Auchtertool.

Anne Elizabeth Scott's parents are shown as John Scott Coal Minor and Ann Elizabeth Scott but her maiden surname is illegible, does not help having cataracts when trying to read these old documents.

Regards,

James Clusker

1901 census from Ancestry for John Scott ... conflicting information with the previous one. Might help clarify this particular John Scott's birthplace.

Hello Helen,

This one is really stressing me out, not good at my age, we have two Scott's, and I am not connvinced that the family in Colinton are the correct family as the occupation shown on my my grandmothers marriage certificate for her father John Scott is that of a cooal miner.

From a free search on Scotlandspeople

There are only two matches coming up for a death. One is listed below and the other took place relatively recently.

Death:
1954
Ann* Elizabeth Scott / Clusker (cross-ref surnames)
County: Fife
District: Dunfermline

birth year 1891 ( +/- 1yr )

If this is your Granny, it might be worth downloading the image to check out the mother's maiden name (if known by the informant) May be legible this time round.

The maiden surname of on the marriage certificate for the mother of Anne Elizabeth Scott looks like Ann Elizabeth SAGAR


witnesses to the marriage were:-
Henry Glancey & Mary Ann Glancey


John Andrew Macintyre R C Priest

re the above witnesses:-
marriage
1907 GLANCEY HENRY............... CLUSKER MARY ANN BEATH (FIFE) /FIFE 410/00 0093

I checked the image ( death) and there is a line where her mothers maiden name should be

Hi Helen and Moody Blue,

I vaguely recall as a child my grandmother and grandfather mentioning the name Clancey/Glancey, I am sure they were the best man and bridesmaid at my grandparents wedding.

As to the maiden name of my grandmothers mother I just cannot decipher what it is, it could be Sagar but even using variants in searching marriages nothing comes up.

However when doing a free search on Ann Elizabeth Sagar from 1830 to 1910 no results come up, but doing the same search just using Ann Sagar the following results come up:-

In the 1891 Census for Ann Sagar it says two matches found
In theStatutory Register Deaths 1855 to 1855 - 1910 it says two matches found

Oh Why Oh Why did they not use comuters in the 19th century

Regards,

James Clusker

James,
SP and people called Sagar

In the statutory deaths , I could find only ONE match to Ann Sagar 1855- 1910
Obviously your great grandmother would need to be living circa 1890 for the birth of her daughter.
SP can be refined to give more precise info ....result is:
Ann Sagar age 39, died 1892 in Camlachie, Glasgow.
There is no Ann Sagar on the 1891 census and assume this was perhaps a maiden name of the deceased
I cannot find another name but it definitely not Scott.
Perhaps she connects to this family:


Re SAGAR on the 1891 census of Scotland
One family in Camlachie.
James and Maryann, but this is NOT the woman who died because this family can be found again in both 1901 and 1911 in Yorkshire.
