Hi and Welcome to Rootscaht, Tanapopo  Smiley

You say who your grandmother  was  but don't mention who your grandfather was or give any approx ages. Was this your grandmother's maiden name or did she marrysomeone with that surname?

Following on from what Pam has found,  and taking it as a maiden name, the Scotlands People site  show  5 marriages of a person with that name  Scotland in 1904-1931:

1904 in Holm and Palplay, Orkney
1920  in St Giles, Edinburgh
1921  in Kirkwall, Orkney
1929  in Dunfermline, Fife
1931 in Leith North, Edinburgh


Also, to find if your mother had any brothers or sisters, we'd need to know the approx date and name. However, it's Rootschat's policy to not mention names of living people on the public boards.

Best regards

Hi again

If she is still alive, we can't really do much more on on this public thread. However, if her birth name is as stated and in Orkney, there are two possible births showing on the Scotlands People site in 1913 and 1929 -

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk


None of the other names that you mentioned are listed in Orkney.

You should really try to obtain your mother's birth certificate and work back from that. I assume you know her approximate age/place of birth.

Because of the involvement of living people's names, I've sent you a personal message. I might have found a possible grandmother, b. Stromness, Orkney.

Don't know if this will be of any use to you but I've an Ann Velzian in my family tree.
She was born around 1840 (don't have a specific date) in Orkney.
She married Robert Bichan Kirkness on the 16th of May 1865 in Burray, Orkney.

They had 6 children in all;
William -  bn 1865 in Firth & Stenness, Orkney
James - bn 1867 in Deerness, Orkney (died aged 4 weeks)
Jesse Jane - bn 20th June 1868 in Deerness, Orkney
Margaret Ann - bn 10th April 1871 in Sanday, Orkney
Peter - bn 26th June 1874 in Corstorphine, Edinburgh
Robert - bn about 1879 in Leith

Having said all that the cursiter records only show 1 Ann (bn 1814) and her last name is Velzeen!
The nearest I can get to the birth-date of my relative is the 12th June 1840, about the right time, but her name is Margaret!

Well maybe this info will help you a wee bit.

Regards,
Martyn

Hi Tanapopo

I have just registered. My maiden name is Velzian and I live in Orkney. I have just been out at the Sandwick Graveyard looking at some of my ancestors names and then came home to do a search and saw this thread. There are not many Velzians left in Orkney, I have cousins in England and there are Velzians in Edinburgh. I would assume we are related as there are very few Velzians left.

Hi, I have just joined this site and found the Velzian discussion. My g, grandfather gave his mother as Eliza Velzian and father John Linklater on his marriage certificate.  I have pieced together the Velzian side and have an Ann Velzian daughter of William Velzian and Margaret Cantley.  Ann was born in 1943.  Any connection? My g,g,grandfather was registered as liiegitimate so his parents never married and Eliza went on to marry Robert Eunson in 1862.
