Agnus Darling and Alexander Forsyth
« on: Saturday 19 January 08 18:12 UTC (UK) »
I have just discovered that my gggg Grandfather Alexander Forsyth (1801 Durham- possibly Chester le Street but not entirely sure) probably married Agnus Darling (1803 Lumsdon Berwickshire). They were married some time before 1832 (the first child I know is theirs).
Does anyone have any information on marriages to double check this? Or on Alexander's birth? (his mother is Mary)
Thanks
Claire

Somewhat confused here since you state Alexander Forsyth in the Subject and then in the text refer to Robert Forsyth.

Found a family in Chester le Street on 1841 Census with Head as Alexander Forsyth so assuming this is them.   You state he was born 1801 Durham - possibly Chester le Street - mother Mary (who is with family on the Census) but according to the census both Alexander and his mother Mary were NOT born in Durham and thought I ought to point this out.

Sorry Annette - had changed the Title but not the name....
Thanks for pointing that out about the birth place- I have just looked back through my census information and his birth place is not given in 1861, obviously I misread the 1841 census.
I do not have the census for 1851 either I have realised, so will look for it now, but if anyone fancies looking too then that would be great.
Census ref for 1861 is RG9/3763
I also don't have Alexander's death, but it looks like he died between 1861 and 1871 as Agnus lives with daughter Agnus in 1871 and is widowed.

Thanks - sorry for being so confusing! Embarrassed
