KEITH, Robert/KEITH. Christina Geddes?
« on: Thursday 19 November 09 04:18 UTC (UK) »


Helping another if possible.

1841 Scotland Census

Robert KEITH  40  b:ABT 1797-1801
Civil Parish:  Stronsay - St. Peter
Address:  Whitehall
Occupation:  Fisherman
Wife:  Christina Geddes KEITH  35

Apparently they had 7 children.
Believe they went to the USA.

Would any member know who Robert Keith parents & siblings were and when he married Christina Geddes.  Also her parents if possible and when & where she was born please.

Many thanks,
Tiffaney

Hi and good morning! Got a marriage for Christian Geddes to Robert Keith at Canisbay Caithness on 6 Dec 1822

Also Christian Geddes born 1761 Wick, Caithness parents James Geddes & Elizabeth Farquhar
and Christian Geddes born 8 October 1802 parents James Geddes and Ann Munro( this pair looks more likely ) given the date.

There is a Robert Keith born 28/11/1800 born Canisbay, Caithness to Kenneth Keith and Mary Calder ( on sp)
