LONGMUIR/WISHART/Kerwick/Napier
« on: Wednesday 02 March 05 11:00 UTC (UK) »

My g-grandfather was James Alexander Longmuir, b. Glasgow in 1854. His father was William Fisher Longmuir who married Jane? Wishart on 5.4.1854 in Glasgow. Anything further on them would be most helpful. I understand she died, he remarried his housekeeper, then when he died, the second wife emigrated, making off with all the family fortune!
Does this ring any bells?  HH   
New info.is that he re-married twice more:
Eliza Kerwick or O'Keffe b. Ireland <1828>, with whom he had Charlotte b.1860 (No trace of marriage)
Helen Methven Napier b.1836, married 5.12.1888 in Arbroath
He died in Dundee in 1892. He was an Insurance Agent all his working life.  HH

Hi again HH

This is the second part to the first on I sent.
The remaining four children of Thomas and Christian Wishart:
son James born 1794
Dau Christian born 1795
son Thomas born 1798
and Dau Elizabeth born 1805.
I don't have any information on Elizabeth's brothers and sisters as Elizabeth is our direct line but I could do some checking and see what I could find.

Hello Wmouse
I'm still trying to verify Jane (or Janet) Wishart, so until then, I don't know whether your branch connects with mine. Keep me posted if you discover anything.  HH

Hello again wmouse,
I've now verified that my Miss Wishart was Jane. She married in Glasgow in 1854 and had a son there later that year. I suspect she died having him, as I can find no trace from 1855 onwards, from when records were available, of her death. Her husband re-married about 1859, so it may have been later and I just can't find her. They certainly did not have any more children.
