I wonder if anyone can help me to trace some information about the CRICHTON branch of my family, about which I have had very little luck in finding birth, marriage, death or census information (mostly using SP). A cousin of mine has provided a terrific start point with information from a family bible but I now seem to have reached a dead end.
The information I have is as follows:
Parents – Andrew CRICHTON and Elizabeth DAWSON
Children:
James Brodie Spottiswood CRICHTON b. 18 Feb 1842 in Turriff
Elizabeth Craigie CRICHTON b. 6 Mar 1844 in Turriff
Mary Dawson CRICHTON b. 5 Mar 1846 in Aberdeen, Alton (?) parish
?? Loban CRICHTON b. 18 Nov 1849 in Aberdeen, Alton (?) parish
Barbara Dawson CRICHTON b. 1 Mar 1852 in Aberdeen, Alton (?) parish
Ian CRICHTON b. 19 Jan 1855 in Aberdeen, Alton (?) parish
All of the above is from the family bible but no corroborating evidence on record so far. I’m not sure about the location or existence of Alton parish
Elizabeth Craigie CRICHTON married William BANNERMAN (a landed proprietor from Ceylon) at 13 Chapel Street, Aberdeen, in 1860 and sailed for Ceylon a year later. I have traced this marriage entry on SP.
Barbara Dawson CRICHTON (my great grandmother) married John IMRAY at Jessiefield, Newhills parish on 17 Nov 1871. She died on 27 Nov 1926 at Morningfield Hospital, Aberdeen (usual residence 7 Chapel Street, Aberdeen). I have traced both these occurrences on SP.
Any clues, snippets or pointers would be very gratefully received.

Hi,
I found these on the IGI extracted entries:
Andrew Crichton married Elizabeth Dawson 21 Nov 1840 Old Machar, Aberdeen
and
Andrew Crichton married Elizabeth Dawson 25 Nov 1840 Turriff
This means that the couple resided in different parishes and so the banns were proclaimed in both.
Also...Jane Lawson born 19 Jan 1855 Old Machar, Aberdeen...extracted entry.
I think that the location is probably Aulton (Old Town) better known as Old Aberdeen now part of Aberdeen city. It would I think have been within the parish of Old Machar http://www.rootschat.com/links/033n/
The name Aulton is commemorated in modern day places such as Aulton Court, Aulton Road and Aulton Football Pavilion.

Hi Elaine,
Thanks for that. The marriage entries from IGI certainly connect, but I'm not sure where the connection to Jane Lawson comes in.
The explanation for Alton also makes sense.
Regards,
mnj

Sorry, getting you and myself confused  Don't know where the Lawson came from  I'll blame my son for distracting me, he was chatting to me at the time 
Should have said...I found an extracted entry for Jane CRICHTON, parents Andrew Crichton and Elizabeth Dawson, born 19 Jan 1855 Old Machar, Aberdeen. This would fit as the family are in Aulton at the time.
I noted that this is the same date as you have for Ian Crichton.

Elaine,
Thanks again. I haven't got an exact copy of the family bible page but my cousin may well have mistaken Jane for Ian if the handwriting is faded or otherwise difficult to read.

Everyone,
Thanks ever so much - you've given me more information in a couple of hours that I've managed to glean in weeks!!
Interesting one from ev about Andrew Crichton's parents - I'm almost sure that Cobbon should read Connon and this would explain why that name crops up as a forename 3 generations later.
Also, I suspect that the 2 Bannerman children in the 1871 census were actually offspring of Elizabeth left behind when she departed for Ceylon.
Thanks again,
mnj

William James Bannerman b.02 Jul 1865 to William Bannerman and Eliza Crighton, Old Machar, Aberdeen - same birth registered in Newhills same day.. (mmh....... just read your post re the sailing back to Ceylon in 1861. Do you know if they came back - this was the only entry I could find on the IGI - extracted.
Regarding 'mitchells' post - you 'must' get that entry from SP due to the amount of info on the cert. "Should have said...I found an extracted entry for Jane CRICHTON, parents Andrew Crichton and Elizabeth Dawson, born 19 Jan 1855 Old Machar".
Regards, Steve :O)
