I have a picture of James Snr's son headstone from Rothes Cemetery (over the road from Glengrant distillery) good spot to soak up a dram or two!

Alexander Younie b 31/8/1868 d 14/12/1913 (44); wife Jessie Anne d 23/4/1970 (91); daughter Mary d 1987 (87).

Old James Snr was a strict father,  I thought Alex went to USA but it was his nephew.  James (my Gt Grandpa) went to Tasmania and never went back.

There were  all these born and bred and working in Rothes     - James Youne (1st generation) B 1765, wife Margaret ;
their son Alexander (2nd)d 1857 his wife Margaret;
their son James(3rd) d 1909 (in New Spynie). (James Snr) 1st wife Jane d 1874 in Rothes; 2nd wife Helen Shearer ??

How confusing is that?

Located a few of them on the Libindix.  There's lots of Younie's in the Moray area all born about the same time all having the name James, Alexander, Margaret, Ann, Jessie, John etc etc.

Just pondering.

Helen Shearer YOUNIE could have died before James Younie who died in 1909 (82) - his son signed his death certificate.  James may have been living with him in Fochabers - he had senility someone had to be looking after him.

Helen was born in 1847 and was a Spinster when they married in 1879 (32) - could have died first?

Frustrating when leads come to a brick wall isnt it?

Death certs would normally show whether he was a 'widower/widow of...' or 'married to...'

Duh good thinking Embarrassed.  I have a copy of his death certificate.

It says married to:- 1. Jane Stewart 2. Helen Shearer.  He died on 23/11/1909 at "The cottage, Woodlands in the Parish of New Spynie"  (Could it have been a nursing home or did they have them then?).  Senile decay.  (No mention of issue, widowhood or such like)

Signature of informant is his son John Younie, Fochabers. A bit missing on edge but looks like November 24 at New Spynie signed by the same Registrar as on the main part of the form.   Is this  his funeral?

I guess then this means Helen has gone before him?

Sometimes I chase my tail.  Where would be records be for his grave?

I dont know where wife No 1  (gt gt grandmother) is interred d 7/2/1874, also there were 2 bairns who died in 1864,1869 and 3rd 6.5.1874.  As I said previously they arent in Rothes as I only found his son Alexander and family.

No. It means Helen was still alive. If she had died before him he would have been described as 'widower of 1. Jane Stewart and 2. Helen Shearer.'

Elgin, in the council offices. There are also microfilms of the burial ground registers in the Heritage Centre, but it could take a while to go through them if you don't know which cemetery he is in.

Do you mean you didn't find a stone? The absence of a stone does not mean they are noy buried there, because probably the majority of folk didn't have stones. If they died in Rothes in the 1870s it is extremely likely that that are buried in Rothes.

No. you don't get funeral details on death certificates after 1860. If it is in the left margin, could it be a RCE (Register of Corrected Entries)?

It was probably his home, or the home of a relative who was looking after him.

Have you looked in Scotland's People for the death of Helen Shearer or Younie? She will be indexed by both her maiden and her married name, so she shouldn't be hard to find.

Thank you one and all.

Thank you Forfar... that will help me get on the right path again.  Strange how this stuff works. Grin

It makes you think outside the square doesnt it?

See further up - I have had a good look at the photos I have and it isnt Alexander Younie but Alexander JACK's grave with his wife Jessie Anne Younie - (a missing Grand aunt I have found now - sister of Alexander Younie), which means he probably did go to Canada and his son was an Airman in WW2 who came back to UK to be in the War.  He visited the family in Lossiemouth during the war.

Many thanks for you help to all.

I'm pretty certain that Alexander Simpsons mother was Margaret (Maryaret) Shearer and not Helen.  Maryaret had a number of children out of marraige - my Grandmother (Mary Jane Duff, born Duff Cottage in Rothes) used to tell me of some 'scandal' in her family.  That would be Maryaret - if you check the 1901 census you will see that Alexander Simpson is staying with his half-brother James Duff in Rothes. 

It's really strange to find, by accident, that other people are checking out the same people

Hi Rodgerk

Welcome to RootsChat  Smiley

It was this birth entry showing on IGI that made us think that Helen was the mother of Alexander (Simpson):

ALEXANDER SHEARER  Birth:  28 JAN 1871  Mortlach, Banff, Scotland
Parents: Mother: HELEN SHEARER

Together with that 1871 census entry:

Maryaret Sherner 35
James Duff    7
William Sherner 3
Helen Sherner    24, sister
Alexander Simpson 2months

Address:  Woodside, Mortlach

Hopefully Barb will pick up on your post and you can exchange family notes.

Hi

I was looking for something completely different when I spotted your ancestor, Alexander Younie.

My great grandmother, Margaret Watson, b1846 Elgin had several illegitimate children. She only names the father of one - Alexandrina Watson, b1873. In the Register of the Poor, she makes an application for Parochial Relief on 05 Sep 1881 for medical treatment for Alexandrina. The register says "Father of child is Alexr Younie, Weaver, Edinburgh who does not pay".

However, when Alexandrina dies in 1899 her death certificate says "Reputed Father - Alexander Younie, Farm Servant."

Do we have any link here do you think?

Kind regards
Joy
