James Divorty/ Isabel Dason
« on: Wednesday 19 March 08 21:08 GMT (UK) »
I'm searching for the marriage of James Divorty to Isabel Dason.

James Divorty was born 1792 in Midmill Kintore Aberdeenshire. I have no information about Isabel Dason apart from the baptism records for three son's - William (1818) Charles(1816) and George (1819).
The birth/baptism record for their son William in 1818 (born in Midmill Kintore) - reads - William, lawful son of James Divorty & Isabel Dason (as do the baptism records for Charles and George). It would seem that James and Isabel were married.

Have had zero luck finding a marriage in Scotlands People or IGI.
If anyone can help I would be most grateful.

Freecen has the Divorty family living at Midmill in Kintore -Aberdeenshire in 1841.

Unfortunately as the ages were all rounded to within 5 years it doesn't give too much help narrowing the search, both parents ages are given as 55 years. It states everyone was born in Aberdeenshire.
William (Head) was a farmer. There is also an Isobel Divorty, the same age as George.

The 1851 census shows more data, and more children, family still living at Midmill. Isobell's place of birth is given as Echt Aberdeenshire. Maybe start looking around there for the marriage?

Hope this helps
Kirsty

Hi Kirsty,
Thank you so much for going to all this trouble.
Unfortunately this William age 55 is the Uncle of my ancestor.
William Divorty (age 55) was born in 1784 and was the older brother of James Divorty b1792 (my ancestor) - because William was the eldest son he must have inherited the farm.
My ancestor William (b1818) is recorded in that 1841 census living in the household as a Male Servant. By 1851 (my) William had married Margaret Allen and was living in Inverurie (occupation Master Miller).
The Divorty family can be complected at times because so many of the Christian names are repeated throughout the family.

My problem is James Divorty: Apart from his birth/baptism record and the baptisms of his sons, I have no other information about him. I would guess that he had died by 1841 and although there are a number of Isabel/Isabella's I have been able to account for them all as other members of this family - so I have to assume that my Isabel also had died.

Thanks again for your help.
