Hi, Lin,

It really is a "slowly slowly" situation. It would be good to get Thomas' death cert - I'll get onto that soon.

I'm happy to share my research on Thomas and Janet Cairns family - I have a lot on each child.

Regards,

Kerryn

Hi, Lin and Sharleen,

Here's a teaser from another poster, Pam. It shows possible information about Robert Aitken's birth. Because the birth is in Lanark, and our George is from Midlothian, I'm not sure about it. BUT when I consider that George and Janet named one of their daughters Marion Moffat Aitken (my great-grandmother), I'm inclined to accept it!

A Thomas and Margaret Aitken were on the same ship as George Aitken and his wife Janet (and her family, Thomas and Janet Cairns and siblings) when they came to Australia in 1852 aboard the "William and Mary".

Do you have anything to link Thomas and George as brothers?

Regards,

Hello, Suzey,

If you are still offering to do look-ups, may I please add my fellow?

Abraham Read Wallace b. 1835. His Binding was in 1850 - any other information on him or for his father John Wallace?

Thanks for your kindness.

Thanks, Corcam and Tati!

Both of you have uncovered bits of information I hadn't found! Thank you for your efforts.

Tati, is there any sign of John Unwin, son of Samuel, in the 1841 census (and where do you access that info, please).

Corcam, it is always a delight to have a deathdate for an elusive ancestor! Can you please tell me where you find that date.Is there any sign of John? I have found Harriett and John's marriage, and always feel cranky that recorders in the good old days didn't think it important to put the mother's name in.

Can anyone tell me if you get the birthdates on Cambridgeshire marriage records? Do you get more info than what you can get from Camdex?

Thanks again. You've highlighted that I don't yet know what records to look at when researching my Cambridge people.

Thanks, Newf, for the tip. Now I'll just have to wait for a few Swans to turn up...

Hi, Tati,

That was quick! My data is on another computer at the moment, so I'm relying on memory.

Their son Samuel was born around 1846ish, and Elizabeth was born a couple of years later. The kids appear on the 1851 census as living with their grandfather James Cottage. Samuel came out to Australia when he was 18, and Elizabeth came in 1896 as a widow, with her 5 children. (She married Amos Swan)

Regards,

Kerryn

Is anyone researching various COTTAGE families from around Linton? Specifically, I'm trying to find John Unwin who married Harriet Cottage. Thanks -they're an elusive pair, put their kids made it out to Australia.
