James Thom & Susan Cordiner
« on: Monday 25 June 07 11:11 BST (UK) »

Hi,

I am trying to trace back the Thom and Cordiner branches of my family tree but I am pretty stuck! Any info or advice would be great!

The info I have so far is that:

James Hogg Thom's (b. 1845, m. 1866, d. 1888) parents were

     John Hogg Thom (b. 1814, m. 1835. d 1870) and
     Mary May (m. 1835)

     John Hogg Thom's parents were

          James Thom and
          Susan Cordiner

I know this isn't a lot but they all seemed to live in Peterhead, Aberdeen.

Hope someone can help.

Hi Alan

Sadly there doesn't seem to be very much on James Thom and Susan Cordiner.

I can see in 1841 a possibililty for Susan (widowed?) with a daughter:


Susan Coxdiner    60
Isabella Thom    30, dress maker
Susan Thom    6
James Fraser    55
Mary Mess    55
Mary Mess    4
Jane Morrice    65
William Stephen 17

Address:  East Side Windmill St, Peterhead

The two Susans and Isabella are showing as born in the county.

Apart from that, on the OPRs there is this marriage/banns entry, which made me wonder whether Susan may have remarried?:

08/08/1813   CORDINER   SUSAN   JAMES STRACHAN/   F   Peterhead   /ABERDEEN   232/ 0020 0390

Regards.

That could be the correct people in the census because both james and susan had a daughter called isabella but she was born in 1802. A few years out but still a possibility.

This child Susan in 1841 is 'visiting' in 1851:


Mary Buchan    24, seaman's wife, b. Peterhead
William Buchan    2
Susan Thom    16, General Servant, b. Peterhead

Address:  Wallace Street, Peterhead

And a possibility for mother, still with a birth year c. 1810 (maybe an early death for the Isabella born c. 1802 and second child called Isabella?)

Isabella Thom    41, washerwoman, b. Peterhead
Robert Arthur    7, son b. Peterhead

Address: Windmill Street, Peterhead

This might be useful - http://www.phlomis.plus.com/index.htm

Also, I PMd you with this -
"Not sure if this would be connected to your Cordiners, but I have a photo of a Gravestone in Kirkton Cemetery, Fraserburgh, details as below:

Elizabeth Cordiner, wife of James Bisset who died 15th March 1959 aged 75 years, also the above James Bisset who died 7th July 1962 aged 74 years also their daughter Marjory F. Bisset who died 21st November 1978 aged 67 years."

Was it of any use?

James.
