World War Two / Re: Help with Identifying Photograph WW2
« on: Saturday 03 July 21 14:03 BST (UK)  »
Thank you MaxD and medpat for your replies,

I had been told that it was a WW2 photo with the gentleman in the middle having been identified as a relative so great to know the actual time the photograph was taken!

I will have a look at the links you have referenced.

Thank you

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Date Please-The Wilson Family from Edinburgh. Photo taken in Dalkeith, Scotland
« on: Tuesday 25 September 18 13:43 BST (UK)  »
Hi Lesley.Lynch

The man I think is in the photo is my great grandfather John Christie Wilson born 1854 in Falkirk, his father was William Wilson born 1810 in Muiravonside, Stirling and his father was Charles Wilson who was married to Catherine Clapperton. I cannot trace a marriage or birth for Charles I just know that he appears in the baptism records in 1805 in Larbert, Stirling with the baptism of his daughter Anne Wilson.
I am not sure of the connection to Dalkieth the only possible link is that William Wilson's sister Christina married Peter Ketchen, who was from Lasswade which I think is near Dalkeith. It would be interesting to know if there may be a link between my Wilson's and yours?

Thank you everyone for your responses in dating the photograph it has given me a clearer idea about when it was taken. Dr Dude45  thank you for restoring the photo - it looks great so much clearer and for the link I think I will pay the fee and see if it records the dates of when he was in  business.

Many thanks once again

Hi

I believe the man on the left hand side of the photograph (holding the child) is my Wilson ancestor. I would be really grateful if some one could put a date on when the photograph may have been taken. I have tried to research the photographer John Trotter Jr of Dalkeith without success. I have posted the front and back of the photograph.

Many thanks for your help

Stirlingshire / Re: Tracing a Scottish Marriage: Charles Wilson & Cathrin Claperton

Hi Scottish Janeology

Thank you for the reply. Interesting thought about the baptisms. I have had a look at them all again and they are all taken from Larbert and Muiravonside Parish Records. What is interesting is that each entry records two witness so not sure if this was a standard procedure. Also next to the name of the child is the word "lawful" which seems be similar for most of the entries on the page.  I guess this suggests that Charles and Katherin were therefore married?

Best wishes

Hi Ev,

Thank you for the reply! A cousin of mine had passed on birth information about a Charles Wilson baptised on 27th Dec in 1803 in Larbert but I couldn't find anything for him. Thank you for the link to the list of Charles and Katherin's other children. I have followed your link and downloaded the baptism entries from Scotlandspeople which confirms they are all Charles and Katherin's children so thank you very much 😀

Best wishes

Stirlingshire / Tracing a Scottish Marriage: Charles Wilson & Cathrin Claperton
« on: Monday 02 October 17 14:20 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I am trying to trace a marriage bann or marriage for Charles Wilson and Cathrin Claperton. They first appear with the christening of their daughter Ann Wilson on 1/6/1805 in Larbert, Stirling. I have also found the baptism entry for my great great grandfather William on 25/2/1810 in Muiravonside, Stirling. I have searched on Scotlands People and cannot trace a marriage for Charles and Cathrin. This is not helped by the variation in the spelling of Cathrin/Katherine Clapperton/Claperton.

Just wondered if anyone had any suggestions to move forward or should I assume that the marriage has not been recorded?

Thanks
