« on: Sunday 01 March 09 11:11 UTC (UK) »

Hi, seeking information on my Gt3x grandparents regarding his birthplace and parents. I came up with 2 Peter Lawsons born 1801 in Perth, Scotland. He married Margaret 12 April 1822 in Durris, his occupaton unknown. My information says he died 18 September 1830 & buried Durris churchyard however cannot find his plot?
They had 3 children: James b 4/7/1823. Peter b 12 /4/1826. Catherine b 17/4/1828.
Would love to know when /where Margaret buried and other children. I am decended from Peter (second son) who immigrated to New Zealand died Invercargill 1900. there is extensive lineage onwards. Willing to share. Many thanks in anticipation.
Pbeau.

Hi

Are you sure it was Peter who died in 1830 and not Margaret.

There is a Peter Lawson marrying a Margaret Smith in Durris in 1831 who is a farmer.

This Peter and Margaret are in the 1851 census with son Peter born abt 1827 and daughter Elizabeth born 1834 still in Durris and then in 1861 iliving in Orkney with daughter Elizabeth and her husband.

If this is your Peter there should be a death cert for him which you could get from Scotlands People a pay per view site and hopefully this would show he was married twice.

Hi again

If you think this may be your Peter just to let you know I have found them on the 1871 census again in Orkney and then in Aberdeen in the 1881 census. No trace on the 1891 so presume he died between 1881 and 1891 and looks like it could be in Aberdeen.

In the 1881 census it was showing him as aged 94

If you were to put in birth year on Scotlands people I would be inclined to put in 1780-1790

Following on from Norma's reply a Peter Lawson died at Old Machar, Aberdeen in 1883 aged 98. His year of birth in the certificate is 1785.

Thanks Higgsy and Isles for your information. I shall follow this up. On re- reading the records which I inherited from a distant relative it probably is Margaret who died in 1830 at Durris.

Regards pBeau.
