Hi
  Another one of my efforts  really enjoying this  I hope I am not getting addicted :D


The lady in black  has like a plaster cast  on her arm and kitten on her knee.

She also looks like she could be in mourning in her all black outfit

I really enjoyed colouring this one they look a grand family.

Perthshire / Poor House Perth/Tibbermore HELP!
« on: Friday 07 April 06 15:03 BST (UK)  »
I was wondering if anybody  had any information about the Poorhouse in Perth
 I have exhausted the usual  web sites.
I have come across a birth in the Poor house in1883.
 The birth is registered in Perth, on the certificate it has poor house Perth then underneath Tibbermore.
Was there annex of the poor house at Tibbermore ?
I know that  the Poorhouse  was called  theTullylumb Institute and later  Rosslyn House but cant understand where Tibbermore comes in to it.
Help!
Thanks Susan

Moray (Elginshire) / BOWIE /WINKS FORRES 1828 Help!
« on: Thursday 06 April 06 14:42 BST (UK)  »
hi
I am currently tracing my family tree and have been for donkey years
 I am searching for  the Wink or Winks family from Forres.
I have a Christina Wink married 1828 to Peter Bowie Forres there also a connection with Kinloss area their children are

William Bowie born 1829

Jean Bowie-1831

JohnBowie- 1834

James Bowie -1837

Alexander Bowie-1840

Peter Bowie1842.
 
My  line is from John

John Bowie married Ann Forsyth 1860. There children are.

Alexander Bowie -1860

Christina Bowie -1862

John Bowie -1863
 
James Bowie-1866 (my great granddad)

Jessie Ann Bowie-1868
 
Isabella Bowie - 1870

PeterBowie- 1872


 and another Alexander born 1874

The first Alexander died two years after his birth in the parish of Rothes still trying to figure out what he died from  the writing  on the certificate is quite bad. 

I have not found out what has happened to the rest of the brothers and sister I have a postcard picture of Christina Winks( I think it's her but it could be her daughter in law Ann)  standing outside a thatched roof cottage the photographer was George Cowie the Elite Studios Forres
My Great Grandad moved to Perth  and married Mary Maxwell in 1886 they lived all of their married life in the same house. there eight children were  all born in Perth.
I have been told that the Wink or Winks family are originally Dutch and there was a Dutch community in the early 1800 in the Morayshire area, I  would love to know if anybody has an idea if this is right  as I am not  living in that area  and have only been to Forres once in my life when I was a child I would be grateful of any help.

Perthshire / Taylor- Perth
« on: Tuesday 04 April 06 15:20 BST (UK)  »
hi
  I was wondering if anybody else is looking for Taylor's in Perth. I seem to  loose my family off some of the census . They are on the 1871 and 1901 but can't trace them  on the 1861 or 1851 census however there is a family with similar names at Muthil.
 My family are in1871 Anne Taylor age 60  head- Catherine age 24 daughter weaver -David age20 son shoemaker  living at 116 High StreetPerth .
I found a family in Muthil in 1851 I am not sure if they are related to mines or not  - Peter Taylor head  - Ann Taylor age40 sister  Robert age 14 nephew all weavers.
Also in Muthil in 1851 Robert Taylor age42 servant selling coal -Isabella wife age 38  Peter son age 6
Catherine age 4 .  Robert married Isabella in Dunblane in 1833.
I cant find a birth for my Catherine or David I know on Catherine's  death certificate 1928 it states that her mother was Ann Porter and her father was John Taylor this also draws a blank . On her brother David's death certificatewho died in 1895 his mother is Ann Taylor  and no father's name is given.
Ann Taylor on her own death certificate is given as  single and signed by her son David . It states her father as Alexander Taylor and ms Sharp. I have found children to Alexander Taylor and Catherine Sharp but  they do not have a daughter Ann.
 David on his marriage certificate  states his name as David Porter Taylor. I believe  Catherine and David might have some more sibling's older than them but  I still have not found them.
I know my family were weavers who lived in Perth from at least  from1871 Catherine had two children that I could find Agnes  Taylor1873 my G Grand mother  Perth and John  Taylor 1883 born Tibbermore Perthshire.
Agnes stayed in Perth all her life and I think her brother John stayed in Stanley.
I would be obliged if any one had any information on my family or help.
 cheers susan ???
