MacPherson Census Help - completed thank you
« on: Sunday 31 August 08 13:26 BST (UK) »
Hi

Could a kindly soul with access to the 1901 census have a look up and see if they can find my family please?

I'm looking for Francis MacPherson b 1873 in Abernethy and his wife Lizzie Ann born c.1879. They married in Boat of Garten in 1890.

I know they had children called Francis, Jane, Annie, James, Duncan, Georgie and Tibby, but I've no idea of the order the children were born in. I suspect though that Francis was the eldest son as his father and grandfather were both named Francis and his mother was illegitimate so no father's name listed anywhere.

Francis and Lizzie also had a son John (my gr-Grandad) born in 1906 and a daughter Elma born in 1918, but I've no idea about the others so any help would be greatfully received.

Francis was a Gamekeeper by occupation.

Thank you all
Julz

Edited to add - I've looked on SP and there is 1 Francis McPherson age range 25-32 with a second person of Lizzie in Abernethy in 1901. I have no credits left so if someone with other access could look it up I'd be massively greatful.

They married in Boat of Garten in 1890.

If they married in 1890 - it seems unusual they had no children until 1901

Thank you for that Carole. That is definitely them as 'my' Francis was Francis William so fits perfectly.

That does seem very strange. Especially as Francis wasn't an only child so not a random one-off birth. The definitely married in 1890 as I have a copy of the certificate/entry.

I wonder if they had a child/children who died perhaps? I shall look into it.
