No trace of my Crighton ancestors after 1865
« on: Thursday 19 May 05 23:13 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I have the following records for my g Grandmother and gg Grandparents but can find no trace of them in censuses or later BMD records:

Matilda CRIGHTON, Born: Queen Street, Dundee, 5th October 1865

Marriage of Alexander CRIGHTON (36) to Matilda JACKSON (27) in Dundee 1st district 3rd December 1860.

I've looked around on Scotlandspeople (until my credits expired) and elsewhere on the Internet for Scotish and English records and can find nothing until a possible for my g Grandmother working a servant in Surrey in the 1891 census.

Any clues on where else I might look or even better can anyone find anything?

Many Thanks,

Allan

Hi Allan

Do you already have this from the IGI site -

Alexander Crighton and Matilda Jackson were married 3 December 1860 Dundee, Angus, Scotland

They had the following children: -

Matilda Crighton – 5 October 1865 Dundee, Angus, Scotland
James Jackson Crighton – 7 March 1862 Dundee, Angus, Scotland
Isabella Sinclair Crighton – 21 September 1863 Dundee, Angus, Scotland

Maybe the sibling names will help you

All the best, Anne

Hi Anne,

I had the marriage record from the IGI and that for the birth of Matilda, both of which I've also found on Scotlandspeople.  I didn't however have the birth records for the two siblings - I thought Matilda was an only child!  As you say, the names of the two siblings should help me to look for more leads.

Thankyou so much Smiley

Best Regards,

Allan

Allan, have you tried using wildcards on SP.  There is a variety of ways to spell Crighton - Crichton, Creighton, etc.   Might help.

Thanks for the suggestion Dorothy,

I've tried all sorts of variants on Scotlandspeople and can find nothing that fits.  I'm going to have another go on Scotlandspeople when can dedicate sufficient time to follow up the new leads I now have (especially the siblings I didn't know about) in one go.  With the credits expiring after 7 days, Scotlandpeople desn't lend itself very well to leasurely research or just following up a single lead. Angry

Thanks again,

Allan

I found this looking for something else - don't know how common Crighton is - but just a thought - you never know!!

Bissett Craigie  b  abt 1838 m 1859/61 Dundee  Margaret CRICHTON. 7 chn b 1862-1881

( took me for ever to find Dundee - this isn't my neck of the woods - I should have just looked for the name ! )

Hi Annie,

I have a possible for Matilda in 1891 in Nutfield, Surrey and a possible for my g Uncle William in 1901 (age 6, down as "visitor").  This is why I suspect Matilda may have been in France with my Grandfather (b. 1900) in 1901.

I've trawled the Scottish records for Matilda's parents/siblings  in 1871/81/91/1901 but not yet found anything although my searh hasn't been completely exhaustive as Scotland's People gets darned expensive when you turn up one wrong Crighton after another!

Any ideas?

Hi Annie,

Can't connect these Crichtons with my Crightons from Dundee.  They could be mine but since they're all after 1865 and I can't find any of mine after that date - who knows Huh

Cheers,

Well you can always keep them "just in case" ..... Roll Eyes

Seemed to me Alexander was a contender!! - didn't you say something during June Challenge regarding "familiar territory"

Maybe I'm mistaken!!
