Non-Conformist Registers for Dumfries
« on: Sunday 17 April 05 16:18 BST (UK) »

Does anyone know where these are held?  They don't appear to be available online via IGI or ScotlandsPeople and I've been told they're not held in the National Archives in Edinburgh either.

Thanks - Shelagh

On a general note I think some nonconformist records are held at the NAS under CH3 but many are still held locally.

See info at LDS site...

I know from experience that Catholic records appear amongst the parish church records in Troqueer.  What parish is your interest in?

Hi Pam

I'm interested in Dumfries.  According to later census information my g-g-grandfather, James Henderson, was born there in about 1849.  According to his sister's birth certificate his parents, David Henderson and Mary Ann Ward, were married in Dumfries 1st January 1849.

Do you have them on the 1841 census?

There is a David Henderson 15 Apprentice shoemaker not born in county and there is a Mary Ann Ward 15 female servant born in county.

The ages will be rounded but if they look familiar I can get the rest of the families?

Let me know if you want them.

Thanks,
Pam

Hi Pam

I would love to have those Smiley  I believe they were both born around 1826 so those ages would be spot on!

A wee problem with this is that the books (4 to cover Dumfries) are name indexes so I won't catch people of a different surname in the same house.  It would be lovely to have these on Excel!

Ok, here we go...

HENDERSON

Irish St (19 as given to define household)
ED: 11 P: 12

David 15 shoemaker app. bn Scotland
George 8 bn Scotland
James 12 bn Scotland


WARD

Shakespeare St (16 as given to define household)
ED: 3 P: 7

Alison 30     bn Ireland
Helen 1       bn Dumfriesshire
Isabella 4    bn Dumfriesshire
James 15 Stocking maker j'man   bn Dumfriesshire
Mary Ann 15 female servant    bn Dumfriesshire
Peter 40 labourer    bn Ireland
Peter 9     bn Dumfriesshire
Wiliam 6 bn Dumfriesshire

I'll have a scan through to see who else is in Irish St but it is easy to miss them  Sad

1851 is online at...

Hope this helps,
Pam

Hi Pam

That's great.  David Henderson's parents were John Henderson and Ann Wilkinson (according to his death certificate).  When Mary Ann remarried in 1872 she gave her father's name as James Ward - her mother's name was Mary but the surname is illegible Sad

I scanned the rest of the books and couldn't see any other occupants for teh Hendersons.  Though it could easily of been missed.
