Hi James

Thanks for your reply.

Alexander Phimister was born in 1825 and he was 28 when he married Elizabeth Burdis in Sunderland in 1853. On the marriage certificate his father is John, who is also a mariner.

Alexander and Elizabeth's first child, John, my great grandfather, was born in 1853.

Unfortunately I have no other information on Alexander.

Hi James
I've just looked at your post and I think that those names might be mine. Certainly the names Alexander and Elizabeth are mine and also the occupation ties in with what I know. I do know that the name Alexander was used in the family as my grandmother, Eleanor Phimister, had a brother whose name was Alexander.
Would you know where I could get information on Alexander senior's place of birth?

Hi Margaret, I'm new to Phimisters, even newer to Burdis.  Trekking through Rootsweb, found this and wondrered if you thought it worth checking:

I'm still blundering around in the dark for you meantime.

Hi James
Thanks for the reply. I'll be checking that one out.
Interestingly I have the name Burdis on both sides of the family, although the other one is through marriage and not a blood relative. As they both occur in the family tree at about the same time I am seeing if there is a link.
Funny how things turn out 
I'm not giving up on the Phimisters - I've found that often things just slot into place when you least expect it.

Tricia on the death certificate I found for Alexandrina WARES, (d. 9.1.1873, Wick) her parents are given as James WARES and Ann BREMMER or BREMNER...no Isobel Gray.

This is too confusing. Roll Eyes  Smiley

Bec can you give me her age at death, place  and the informant.  Did it give her husband's occupation?
I will try to find out about why I have Isobel Gray.

Hi Tricia & Bec
Just to confirm, the death registration of George Phimister Innkeeper  - died 12/8/1859 in  Boathaven, Wick aged 66 yrs – does give his parents as “George Phimister Farmer Deceased” and “Christina Phimister Maiden Name Bremner (Deceased)”. It records him as married, but doesn’t mention his widow’s name. The registration of her death (Alexandrina Wares “Widow of George Phimister, Farmer”) - 14 years later, 9/1/1873, at Boathaven - definitely records her parents as "James Wares Farmer (deceased) Ann Wares M.S. Bremner (deceased)"

My apologies, I should have used maiden name.

Rose Farquhar c.1783, is my ancestor in a direct female line. She was married to John Phemister. I am aware of one child, Christina Phemister (1817) who married James Levack.

Out of interest, I have a person in my family tree I think may have originated in Orkney.......and her surname has been reported in various OPR and Scotland's people certificates as Fubister, Foubister, Whimster, Phubister, Fibister, Phimpster, Phimster and Whibister.

Phimister, do you think?
