In 1864 John Tweedie (widower) aged 51, tailor (christened John Baxter Tweedie, 27 March 1813, Troqueer)
Son of Alexander Tweedie, miner, deceased, and Mary Hair, deceased
married
Agnes Gibson Howie (spinster) aged 31 (born Muirkirk 1833)
Daughter of James Howie wright (is this part of his name or his job??), deceased and Anne James Gibson, deceased
At Muirkirk
I have a copy of the marriage cert
I would appreciate anything you could find in 51, 61 census or OPR
especially to identify his first marriage
or his/her parents ages
Many Thanks

This could be him - age is a bit out, but they often were and occupation is blacksmith. However, its the nearest fit out of 24 John Tweedies in the census for Dumfries, Galloway and Kircudbright.
Address: 4 King Street, Maxwelltown, Troqueer Household No: 25/120
TWEEDIE , Edward son of John Tweedie SCHOLAR Age: 10 born Troqueer Kbt
TWEEDIE , James son of John Tweedie SCHOLAR Age: 6 born Troqueer Kbt
TWEEDIE , Jane daughter of John Tweedie Age: 3 born Troqueer Kbt
TWEEDIE , Jean wife of John Tweedie Age: 31 married BLACKSMITH (wife of) born Troqueer Kbt
TWEEDIE , John head of household Age: 32 married BLACKSMITH born Torthorwald Dms
TWEEDIE , John son of John Tweedie Age: 6 months born Troqueer Kbt
TWEEDIE , Robina daughter of John Tweedie Age: 14 SCHOLAR Troqueer Kbt
TWEEDIE , William son of John Tweedie Age: 8 SCHOLAR born Troqueer Kbt
IGI Shows a marriage of John Tweedie and Jean Barton 24 December, 1837 Troqueer and this would fit very nicely with the birth of Robina aged 14.
However, you best bet would be to look on Scotland's people for a death certificate for his first wife - hope she lasted another four years and search between 1855 and 1864 or have a look at the 1861 census on Scotland's people which may fill in some gaps.

Thanks
The point of this enquiry is to more closely identify Alexander Tweedie
who, at this pint I have no information other than a name.
Age 51 in 1864 probably means he has already left home before the '41 census (age 28 in '41). So I need to find if his parents are 'deceased' on his first marriage
which may be pre '37.
This has been a 'block' for some years on my research into my maternal family line.
This info on James+Jane family may be relevant, however blacksmith is unexpected as the next 3 generations were tailors. Also my Johns father was Alexander - not represented in the childrens names - sometimes a clue. Also age is a bit out, and place of birth, which I expect to be Troqueer, where independant info says he and his twin were baptised (as were next and previous child)
It may mean that this is indeed John _Jean barton - but this is not my John - needs further clarification I think.
Perhaps in Muirkirk, Lanarkshire census.
Thanks again
Allan

Pulling together all contributions from various sources
John Baxter Tweedie
1813 Born Troqueer parents Alexander Tweedie and Mary Hair
1841 census Age 20, Muirkirk, tailor no family (free cen)
1851 census age ??, Muirkirk, ?? no family - only seen index
1851 61 John marries Jane (maiden name unknown)
1861 census age 46, Muirkirk, ?? + Jane (From England) age 38 no children (contibuter did not state job)
1863 BMD Jane Tweedie dies in Muirkirk
1864 MC age 51, Muirkirk, tailor, marries Agnes, parents both dead
1868 Jane Tweedie, m/s Barton, died age 68, in in Dumfries. Husband/witness husband John Tweedie, Engineer (so Jane Barton is not the one)
Leaves following questions
1851 census, his age, marital status, job?
1861 census does it state which English county she is from?
1851 61 when and where did John and Jane marry, what is her maiden name, on MC are his parents dead?
1863 is the Jane that dies in Muirkirk the wife of John?, any maiden name or age recorded?
Unless anyone has anything else to add
many thanks all
Allan
