Warwickshire / Re: BLACKs in Stratford on Avon
« on: Thursday 03 August 23 10:42 BST (UK)  »
Getting back to this string, Dorothy Mary Evelyn TAME, is the daughter in law to Grace Somerville Black, nee Sanderson, (1863 to 1957)and  was married in 1936 to David George Black, born around August 1905 at Wellesbourn in Warwickshire. I have him on both 1911 and 1921 census, but not on 1939 register.
Why?  He died on 22 June 1963 at West Bromwich, so where was he in 1939. Have tried several variations of surname, but no luck.

« on: Friday 26 May 23 16:30 BST (UK)  »
Hi Resjes
Your Robert Gibson is a brother of my 2x Gr Grandfather, William Gibson born in 1821 and farmed with his brother Anderson a farm on the Coldingham area of Berwickshire called "Burnhall" in the 1861 and 1871 census

In Coldingham Priory Churchyard there is an obelisk to David Gibson and Isabella Renton with a number of their children's names also on the stone.

There is a branch of the Gibson's who farm in Alberta, north of Edmonton, they are descended from Anderson Gibson, 1856 to 1940, who was the son of Anderson Gibson 1818 to 1892. He emigrated with his family in 1907 onboard M.V. Sicilian from Glasgow. he died in Saskatchewan on 1st Dec 1940.
Any other details, please let me know, as  I have just picked this thread up after a time away from Rootschat.

Agreed there is no connection to Kelso. I picked up a birth of a James Robson who was registered in Kelso by mistake dated 1846, thinking he was the James I was researching. My error, now corrected.
Still to locate a birth/baptism for him, as you have pointed out.
Rest of your info very helpful and attending Library edition of Ancestry.

I only have a subscription to FindMyPast, but have accessed the Library edition locally for an hour.

Lots of information some I don't agree with but will persevere

thanks for all the assistance

Roxburghshire / ROBSON Hawick
« on: Saturday 14 January 23 11:23 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for descendants of a James Robson, who was born in Kelso around 1845 and died in Hawick 23 Nov 1915 at the Carnegie Free Library in Bridge Street in Hawick. He was a stone mason to trade, Married to Margaret Harris and they had 9 children, all of whom were alive in the 1911 census.
He was the grandson of my 3 x Great Grand father, also James Robson, and the son of William Robson and Jane Tinline.
Margaret, his wife died on 29 March 1923 at 25 Beaconsfield Terrace Hawick.
Any help in pointing my way forward would be appreciated

Lanarkshire / Re: McMorran family around Biggar
« on: Monday 31 October 22 17:17 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Flintgirl
   I am a little bit lost as far as the different generations are concerned.
I have a transcription of a Monumental inscription in Libberton Burial Ground
 about James McMorran who died 13 Feb 1877 age 81 and his wife Janet Lamb who died 12 March 1889 age 91.
Along with his youngest daughter Agnes who die 27 January 1918 age 80
James his Grandson, and son of Ebenezer McMorran, Builder died in Glasgow 6 January 1906 age 43.
his grandson Henry McMorran who dies 3 April 1914 age 44 and daughter Janet McMorran Mitchell who died in Johannesburg 17 July 1942 age 84.
You probably have all that detail, living locally in Biggar, which I pass on my way from here to Edinburgh to visit family.
Perhaps we could exchange emails and continue this thread by personal email?

Hi Katherine
That helps fill a gap, as the father is my 2nd cousin twice removed!
and it adds to the old family tree.
I am related through the Napier side.
