Hello Lance,

If you go by the 1881. census i put on for the Learmonth, family. The children George, age 16. William 15. Alexander 12. and Mary 12. their births are all on Family Search, to parents William Learmonth, and Mary Gibson.

For example your William Learmonth, born 13/Aug/1865 Sanday, Orkney. To parents William Learmonth, and Mary Gibson.

The two older daughters are not there well under that spelling of Learmonth.

When you go to look for a marriage of William Learmonth, to a Mary Gibson, there is no marriage, however there is a marriage in Orkney, as thus William Learmont, and Mary Gibson, 5/June 1857, Rousay, & Eglishay, Orkney, which is no doubt your couple.

Just to link this there is a birth for Laurie Jane Learmont, 11/May/1858, Rousay, & Eglishay, to parents William Learmont, and Mary Gibson.

However at this moment i cannot find the birth of Ann Learmonth, under any variation.

However there is no doubt its the same family as the four of them are living in Orkney, on the 1861. under Learmont.

Regards,
Jonn

Hello Lance,

William Learmont, Born 6/Oct/1835. Christened 18/Oct/1835. to parents George Learmont, and Ann Whigham.

It looks like William, and his wife Mary Gibson, are living with daughters Laurie Jane, and Ann, in 1861 in Orkney, with parents George, and Ann, and a brother Peter, Alexander, and sister Margaret, or they are next door to them.

By the way there are a lot of variations to the surname Learmont, and Whigham.

George Lermont, married Anne Whiggam, 21/May/1829. Dirleton, East Lothian. there are quite a few children to this couple but a few variation to surnames in the births.

Regards
Jonn.

Sorry, I am asking for information on the wrong George Learmonth.

The one I am looking for was born about 1839 Kilchoman, Argyl. Parents George & Ann
