1851 Census Lookup - Old Machar or Logie Buchan Parish area
« on: Tuesday 26 July 05 15:51 BST (UK) »

Regards all  Smiley

I am looking for David and Mary Thomson on the 1851 Census.  Would some kind soul lend me a hand?

They would have two children:

Elizabeth Thomson  baptised 1847 in Old Machar Parish
David Thomson baptised 1849 in Logie Buchan Parish

In 1852 they had another son and he was baptised in Longside Parish.

So I am assuming these three Parishes were in the same area of Aberdeen? 

Thanks for any help

Old Machar is in Aberdeen City,
and Logie Buchan, IS 14 miles north and Longside, is about 26 miles north of Aberdeen City, near Peterhead,
so it looks like you will need to hire the 1851 c for that area,
do you have a local Mormon centre near you?

LUV,
Do you have anymore on them?

I have this 1841c,
considering that Elizabeth Thomson, born 1847 has Taylor , in the middle of her name, this will be a strong possibility. and also that I can only find 2 children,  for Mary McCombie and David Thomson, ..........Mary marrying 24/1/1846, would  appear that she was marrying a bit older, than usual..... I feel this is her family,

1841 Census         
Aberdeenshire  Logie Buchan
Address: Ballhill
~~~~~~~~
 
MCCOMBIE   James   M   55   Ag Lab    Outside Census County (1841)         
MCCOMBIE   Mary (Snr)   F   50       Aberdeenshire         

MCCOMBIE   Mary (Jnr)   F   25       Aberdeenshire   
TAYLOR   Mary   F   80       Aberdeenshire



modified.............
I have found the likely Birth of
Mary McCombie.......... Cheesy 26/7/1812 Logie Buchan.
 ( so she was 33 yrs old when she married David Thomson)
her father was James McCombie and mother Mary Taylor, they married 8/12/1811 Logie Buchan.   I can't find anymore children Huh


modified......................

If you join scotlandspeople.....you will be able to buy these 2 deaths......
1859,....James McCombie, 72 yrs, Logie Buchan,  mother's surname........Husband.

&
1873.....Mary McCombie / Taylor. 83 yrs, Logie Buchan.


There is an entry of Marriage for a Peter McOmie to Euphan Husband  15/8/1762, Cargill, Perthshire...( I don't know if this is James's parents) you will need that death certificate.
there are 2 boys to them but no James,........... and he would have been born another 20yrs+ further on......it is possible.....

Good Luck,
Tell us how you go! Wink

Thanks Kenjo  Wink

I did do the same detective work and came up with the same conclusions, but appreciate that you obviously went to quite a bit of trouble for me - Thank you! 

I went to "scotlandspeople" and paid to see the OPR.  I have ordered three certificates from there.  Further I went to FreeCen and found the same 1841 census (Mary McCombie) but could not find one for my David Thomson (who goes on to marry Mary McCombie) and his sister Helen they were both born in Angus/Forfarshire.  I did find a birth for my Helen Thomson I "think" in Liff Parish Angus/Forfarshire but at this point...I cannot be sure.

Anyway it was at that site that I found the baptisms of David and Mary's children (Elizabeth, David & William).  Their son William, his father was listed as Davidson Thomson and mother Mary McCombie while Elizabeth and David were just David Thomson father and mother Mary McCombie.

I hope to find the family on the 1851 Census somewhere - probably Logie Buchan would be my first stop!

Thank you again
