London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Kings from Willesden area
« on: Monday 18 April 11 14:35 BST (UK)  »
Hi - I am trying to find William King b 1833 Hitchin, Herts and his wife, Martha b 1833 Hitchin, Herts.

I have last located them in the 1891 census residing at 43 Ruckledge Ave, Willesden with their daughter Ester & grandson Edward John King. (occp: Platelayer)

I can't find them in the 1901 census, so i thought perhaps they had died?

I located a death on Freebmd for William King June 1901 (3a/137) in Hendon registration district, which i beleived covered Willesden area at this time. However, if this is the William i am looking for, why wasn't he in the 1901 census, which i understand was taken at the end of March/start of April 1901.

I did find a Martha Hing (i think it should be King) in the 1901 census in Bedfordshire who was 74 (born 1827), widower, born in Hitchin, Herts.

I also found a death at Hendon for a Martha King in March 1909 aged 79 (born 1830). But i never found a Martha King living in this area in 1901. (I beleive Williams's parents were Tristrum King & Sarah Newbury)

Can anyone help? offer any suggestions? I am at a bit of a brick wall.
Thanks

Lanarkshire / Re: Lookup Req - Copland of Anderston, Glasgow
« on: Saturday 05 February 11 01:34 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Paul

I haven't found many Copland/Copelands in my family from Anderston. However, i understand the population there in 1791 was about 4000.

John Copland b abt 1785 in Anderston married an Eliz Gilmour in 1805 in Barony. John and Elizabeth had a son, John born 1810-1817 possibly in Anderston. I also think they may have had the following childrens: Janet b 1810, Elizabeth b 1826 and William b 1821.

I did locate a Robert Copland born 1797/99 in Anderston who was an Iron Dresser. (I think i found him in a 1841 or 1851 census??).

Do any of these names connect to your Copelands/Coplands? What are the names of yours?

Thanks
Charlotte

Renfrewshire / Re: A PATON connection in Renfrew? Can u help solve it??
« on: Sunday 28 November 10 00:34 GMT (UK)  »
Hi - Thanks v much for your help :)

I think the 1851 census you found is correct. It is the same as i had found.

I also think the 1841 census with a 'Janet' is correct, as all the children match up and in Cambuslang. I am not sure how and why it shows Annabella as Janet though. In later censuses, she was known as 'Ann'. Since i can't find James,  i thought perhaps he had died. I notice the youngest child is just 6 months old.

I also notice the eldest child is called Robert. Annabella's parents were called John & Catherine. Robert could have been named after his grandfather???

There is a lot in common with the two families and i am sure there must be a link. If only i could find out more about the father, John Paton!!!

Renfrewshire / A PATON connection in Renfrew? Can u help solve it??
« on: Friday 26 November 10 22:46 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I am trying to find a connection between two PATON families who lived in the same roads (Manse St, Renfrew & Orchard St, Renfrew) from 1861 to 1881.

Family (1)

James Paton (b 1836 Paisley) & Elizabeth Jamieson lived in Manse St in 1866, when their first baby died here aged 2 days (i have death cert). I am trying to trace back James's line to see if there is connection. I discovered his father was called John Paton (born? died?)and mother was Annabella McLellan (b 1807 Paisley d 1892). (Obtained from James & Eliz marriage cert in 1859).

I can't find anything on John  Paton. I can't find him in any of the censuses, so assumed he must have died before 1841. In the 1859 marriage of his son James, John is listed as deceased. I did find a marriage between John Paton and Annabella McLellan (Or McKellan) on 19/12/1827. I am estimating his birth to be about 1805ish. I can't find his death on SP. (I checked the OPR's on SP and the John Patons who died in 1838 & 1847 are not him.)

Family (2)

My relatives, Robert PATON and Mary NIXON also lived in Manse St at the same time (1866). I was wondering if John Paton could have been their son and James their grandson? Robert was born 1778 Kilbarchan and i have only ever found one child for him and Mary NIXON, a Robert born 1819 Renfrew who also lived in Manse St & Orchard Sts. (his death cert has him born 1812).

Can anyone help with this?? :)
Much appreciated, as i am at a dead end!!!

Hi Julie

I am also looking for McBrides. I see you have checked St Quivox & Wallacetown. Is it possible to check the others, especially Newton on Ayr? I am specifically looking for a John McBride who died between 1851-1856. I can't locate his death on SP.

Any other McBrides you find would be appreciated :)

Thank you very much

Ayrshire / L@@KUP REQ - Death John McBride
« on: Tuesday 20 July 10 08:23 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I haven't been having much luck trying to locate a death on SP for John McBride and wondered if anyone can help?

He was born in about 1811 in Ireland and married to Hannah MacKay. In the 1851 census, he is a carter by occupation and residing at Elba St, Wallacetown, Newton On Ayr. This is the last occasion i can verify that he was alive.

In August 1856, a daughter called Catherine McBride was married. John is recorded as being a deceased carter. Catherine's residence is listed as Smith St, Ayr.

So he died between 1851 and 1856.

Any help appreciated :)

Hi Darren
Where did you find all that info??? It was great finding all the family.
I finally found Benjamin & Lucy WILDS in the 1841 census. I could not locate them, so i tried searching under one of their childrens name, the more unsual 'Levi', which you had found. I got a hit! The following are recorded in the 1841 census:

Benjamin WEILDS Born about 1786 Hampshire. Ag Lab
Lucy WEILDS Born about 1796 Hampshire
Martha WEILDS born 1829 Hampshire
Levi WEILDS born 1832 Hampshire

They are living in Upper Street, Soberton, Hamps.

I will now start searching for them in 1851, but think i found Lucy's death in 1849....

Regards Charlotte
