hi Pammy

welcome to rootschat  Smiley

can you tell us what you have so far census wise ?

the IGI(FAMILY SEARCH) has benjamin muirhead marriage to whilminnel(?) allan
31st dec 1872 polmont stirling
first son -
james muirhead born 5th sept 1873 carnwath lanark parents benjamin muirhead and wilhelmina allan

they are at parkhall mid calder edinburgh in 1881 but perhaps you have this
already
have you managed to trace their parents on the census ?

sorry for all the questions but we don't want to duplicate what you already have

Hi again no i dont have that on them ... i have that they lived in west calder .. done the census check on Scotland's people  got that Benjiman was roughly born about 1852 but dont know when or where ... i know minnie his wife was an Allan cause i got her death certificate her parents were  William Allan and Janet Somerville ..

from a census check done in 1891 i got that Benjiman lived Kirk Newton East Calder  with Minnie and his kids Jessie  born in Polmont .William , Rachel  Benjiman , ? and ? Annie  and John ..

the IGI has-
williamina allan baptised 31st oct 1851 polmont stirling
parents william allan and janet sommerville

this seems to match what was on minnie's death cert.

Hi Pammy

The 1873 marriage register digitised image for the couple, in Polmont, just outside Edinburgh, available for a few bawbees at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk does indeed show the bride as Whilminnie, most probable full name Whilminnie R ALLAN !

But remember that this index entry is based on the registrar's transcription of how the bride signed her name on the marriage schedule.

In other words I'd suspect that the registrar in question, J G GLEN, was having a 'bad day', and mistranscribed Williamina !
