HOGGAN
« on: Monday 29 November 04 08:33 UTC (UK) »

I'm in quite a mess with the Hoggan tree.  My grandfather Alexander Hoggan, I have three birth years for May 27, 1871 or 2 or 4.  LDS records indicate 1872 and that his parents were Catherine Logan and John Hoggan.  I was happy with that!  Then I ran into a very distant cousin (maybe) who has researched a fair amount and has different children for Catherine and John, and definitely no Alexander.  We do agree on the eldest son Robert Sneddon Hoggan 1856.  Alexander Hoggan married Christina Hunter...that I'm sure of, and Alexander had a brother Andrew as they came to Canada together.  If the LDS records are correct then family lived in Bothkennar and Denny.  If anyone can offer any assistance I could stop chewing the ends off pencils!

Thanks, Capricorn! It is likely that the Robert you found is the eldest son (well, according to LDS anyway) of John and Catherine.  It's very strange that the John listed as a son in the census doesn't show up anywhere else.

Have you used the scottishpeople site?  What should I go for first: birth, death, marriage?

Thank you for your kindness.

Hope you don't mind me butting in on this thread...

I use Scotlandspeople quite a lot and find it a wonderful site... addictive because of the accessibility to the records...

If it was me i would check the births first... then marriages then deaths also you can look at the images of the census there too...

the Best of luck in your search

Butt in all you want, Mo!  And Scotlandspeople is where I was tonight.  Had quite a bit of difficulty loading the pages, but in the end got my grandparents marriage certificate and birth certificates.

Next question:  In parish records I can get dates for older marriages...that's great...but there was no image...if I "order" would I actually get a certificate with parents listed.

I'm out of credits for tonight, but will be at it again!

Hi, OPR marriage certs. don't  have parents names, most you can expect from these are  date of marriage, or date it was contracted; names of parties; place or parishes of residence. does,nt even give ages, at least none of the ones I got did.
Good luck

Mo and Capricorn...

Yes, it is wonderful to know that they are there..unfortunatethat they don't give more info though Embarrassed

I guess I am stuck now unless there's someone who has a more detailed history than I.  I'll fill in the silbings etc. from William Hoggan and Margaret Taylor Hoggan on down that I can, so if anyone needs that, I have it.

I really hope to make a trip to Denny and Bothkennar.....would really love to see the area that all my coal mining and millworking kin came from.

Good luck to you in your searches!

Hello My name is Roy Hoggan and I live in South Africa. My grandfather John Raymond Hoggan came to S A during the Anglo Boer war and served with the British forces in a mounted regiment. His grandfather was Major George Henry Welland Hoggan who was born in 1835 and died in England in 1892. My grandfather was born in approximately 1876. He had a grand aunt Eleanor who lived in Midlothian Scotland. My grandfather may have been born in India or South America. His people were apparently Scots who served in India. GHW was in the 17th Bengal cavalry. I would like to know who JR's father was. His mother remarried and was Eva F Rowe. She lived in Brixton London at the beginning of the 20 th century. Any help will be appreciated.

Rosemary,

Have you searched on SP for the death certificates of John HOGGAN and Catherine (LOGAN) HOGGAN?  The certificates should list their parents' names - father's name and occupation, and mother's maiden name (if the informant knew these details).  Also, do you know that deaths of married women are indexed on SP under both their married and (if known i.e. if listed on the death certificate) maiden surnames.

If you find the names of John's and Catherine's parents, you then might be able to find the deaths of those parents (IF they survived until the time of statutory registration) and this could take you back yet another generation.

Are you aware that there are different types of records in the IGI?  There are entries transcribed (under the LDS controlled extraction program) from church registers and statutory registers - these are usually reliable (although it is always wise to check the primary source).  There are also entries submitted by members of the LDS church - much more care needs to be taken with these.  Sometimes they are reliable but sometimes they are little more than quesswork.

In Scotland, from 1855 (when statutory registration began) until 1875, birth and marriage entries were transcribed into the IGI from the statutory registers - so it's certainly cheaper to search in the IGI first before going to ScotlandsPeople!

Extracted entries for your family seem to be:
John HOGGAN married Catherine LOGAN, 30 Aug 1853, Denny.
This is not a 'marriage certificate' but just an entry extracted from the register of the Parish Church of Denny.
You could order a copy of the full entry from SP (expensive), or you could order in the relevant film to your local LDS Family History Centre and look at the full entry yourself.  Usually the entries in the parish register provide very little information (often just the calling of Banns and perhaps not even whether the marriage actually took place!) but sometimes you can get lucky and find further information.

Extracted entries (all from the statutory register) for children of the couple are:
In Denny
*Catherine Snadden 1858 (surname transcribed as HOGGANS)
*Jane 1865
In Bothkennar
*Janet 1868
*Andrew 1870
*Alexander 1872

There are also three entries submitted by members of the LDS:
Robert Sneddor (sic) 1856 and Margaret Taylor 1862, both Denny.  Also John 1860 Denny - though the mother's name is rendered as HOGAN.

IF the submitted entries are correct then, looking at the dates of children vis-a-vis the date of marriage, one might suspect that John and Catherine were likely to have had at least one child (possibly not recorded) before statutory registration began.

Why are the extracted entries incomplete in the IGI?  I don't know - unless John and Catherine failed to register some children; or perhaps they are hiding under a mistranscription of the surname; or perhaps the transcribers simply missed them.  Which of the children did you find on SP?  And did you look at the family in the 1871 census there?

Cheers,

JAP

Mo,

You are always generously spending your credits on others!

The marriage of William and Margaret is in the IGI - but they don't seem to have baptized their children unfortunately (or at least not in the Established Church of Scotland).

William HOGGAN m Margaret TAYLOR, 4 Dec 1827, Denny.

Greydog.
We are researching the same HOGGAN family. George Welland HOGGAN was the son of John HOGGAN and Frances Willard. John was born in Keir Scotland in 1789 and died in India in 1861. He was the 2nd son of Major George HOGGAn. John died at Davlah, East India. On his Memoerial stone in the Family Cemetery is inscribed"He served honourably through the Nepall in Afghan, the Sikk Campaign. John's son was quite a famous soldier Maj. General J.W.Hoggan. Type this name into Google and you will get his history. He died in Edinburgh on November 23, 1900 aged 67.
We visited the HOGGAN graveyard in Keir Scotland 2 weeks ago.
My huband is also a direcr descendant of this line.

Hi Roy,

Second time I'm starting this note.........hopefully, it won't disappear again.  In an effort to connect Hoggans, I've 2600 of them in this groaning computer program of mine.  I put in your two names, but didn't come up with anything.  I do have the LDS Hoggans from India, so perhaps we could do some matching.  Is this a relative of yours:  http://www.members.dca.net/fbl/phoggan.html#5
Would love to talk with you more.  (*)
