Hi, I'm new to this type of research & I've just seen posted on this site reference to Flett Gaudie. I have a reference to a Margaret Flett born in Stromness Orkney married to Joseph Deering. I have found 3 children the eldest named George Joseph Gaudie Deering a sister named Jane Deering. Who was my Grandmother's mother. She married John Charles Derry. The last child name was Walter James. I would be very grateful for any info anyone has on this lady & her family.
Thanks

Their eldest son was George Joseph Gauldie DEERING born 24 Aug 1868 at St. George's in the East
The second child was Jane DEERING my Great Grandmother who was born 21 Dec 1873 in Mile End and the last child I have was Walter James DEERING born 3 Jan 1877 also in Mile End
At his son George's birth his occupation was given as wine cellerman. The family were living at 3 Grove Street, St, George's in the East.

HI
welcome to Rootschat 
Given her age on the 1881, this might well be her birth/baptism on Scotlands People (old parish records):
Margaret Harvey Flett b./bpt 2 April 1845, Stromness
Parents - John Flett and Margaret Goldie
There is a patron submission on the IGI with mother's name as Gaudie. Same date, place and father.

If it is the correct one, there is an entry on the same page for a possible brother:
31 July 1835 James Goldie, lawful son of John Flett, seaman, and Margaret Goldie
Margaret is entered as Margaret Harvey lawful daughter of John Flett, seaman and Margaret Goldie

Hi again
Just noticed that the top of the page has the heading 'Irregulars'
Not sure what that means in relation to baptisms but I'm thinking that maybe they were not baptised in the C of Scotland but into another religious group.
It looks like Rev William Stobbs

Sally, 60, Publican
Margret, 35
Jacobina, 20

I don't see a baptism for Margaret Goudie/Goldie/Gaudie but this is her probable sister, Jacobina:
Stromness - 19 July 1813 Jacobina
Parents - Peter Gaudie and Saroh Gaudie

In 1861
Mar Manse Lane, Stromness ED 4 Page 1
Flett
Margaret, 48, stocking knitter, b. South Ronaldsay
Margaret, 17, embroiderer
John N, 13
Thomas D, 8
Children all b. Stromness
Don't worry about the change in birthplaces and Margaret, snr's, age - it often happened - depending on who filled in the forms!

I've been to Stromness and South Ronaldsay as well
Different family! See below

1871:
Manse Lane, Stromness, ED 7 Page 1
Flett
Margaret D, 59, seamstress, b. South Ronaldsay
Margaret, 27, seamstress, b. Stromness
Thomas, D, 18, house joiner, b. Stromness
No sign of Margaret, junior, in Orkney on the 1881. Just as a check that she is the correct one. This is the only one showing in Orkney of the correct age.
I'm wondering if it was a second marriage for Joseph Deering as they have a child of 13 on the 1881.
I don't see a marriage on Freebmd or Scotland's people for them

I'm now unsure of things because the one that I've found is the only Flett who has Gaudie connections but the 1871 Orkney one can't be yours as she's in London with Joseph

The only other Margaret Flett b. Stromness circa 1845 is:
21 Oct 1845 Margaret Ballen Flett
Parents - Thomas Flett and Christina Ballanden
but no Gaudie connection obvious
This Margaret is also in Orkney in 1871.

Hi
Thank goodness. I think I've solved the problem!
I've had a thorough check and I think that the 1841 and1851 censuses are the correct family but the 1861 and 1871 one one's are different.
The later two censuses ( with the Thomas D Flett, b.c. 1853) has mother Margaret Dunnet and father Nicol Flett.
So, it looks as if Margaret Harvey Flett (mother Margaret Gaudie/Goldie) is a strong candidate for your ancestor.
I'll see if I can find her on the 1861.
Regards
