David Bisset, Dunfermline
« on: Monday 23 June 14 05:20 BST (UK) »
I am trying to trace my 3rd great grandfather, David Bisset(t). I don't know where he was born or when, but it must have been about 1795. He married a Mary Bower in 1824 in Dunfermline. David was a corporal in the Royal Marines in 1825 when their son William Bisset was born in Chatham, Kent. Mary died in 1840 in Dundee at which time David was still alive and working as a rope spinner. I can't find his birth or who his parents were or where and when he died or if they had any other children besides William. I have searched Ancestry.com and ScotlandsPeople and can find nothing. Please help!
Regards,
Nicky

Hi

There is a birth of a David Bisset 29 Oct 1794 in Dunfermline with parents William Bisset and Elizabeth Ferrier on Family Search. This couple seem to have a number of other children William 1786, James 1790, John 1791, Hannah 1788 and Wemyess  1796.

William
Dent (Haltwhistle and Sacriston), Bell and Jetson (Haltwhistle), Postle, Ward, Longstaff, Purvis, Manners, Parnaby and Hardy (Co. Durham), Kennedy and McRobert (Banffshire), Reid(Bathgate), Watson (Wemyss), Graham (Libberton), Sandilands (Carmichael), Munro (Dingwall)

If Mary died 1840 what happened next?

Presumably you are descended from William as he's the only child you know of.   Where did he end up?   I can't find him on any census.

If David is the one re. the service record found by rosie17 this would suggest he was born ca.1790 Dunfermline which would make this one more likely:

David Bisset 3/10/1790 Dunfermline, son of Thomas Bisset and Elizabeth Mercer (per Scotlands People).
