Hello everyone
For many, many years I have been looking - online as I'm not in the UK - for information on the above person or persons, so I really hope someone may be able to help me.
Andrew Maitland, a printer of Borthwick’s Close, Edinburgh was the father of :
Catherine Daly Maitland born out of county about 1823, mother’s name unknown ;
Andrew Maitland born 1841, my great grandfather,
Mary Jane Maitland born 1845 probably died before 1851 – no record found,
John Maitland born 1848,
the three children of his mariage in 1841 to Catherine Mcglashan all three born Edinburgh.
Inconveniently, Andrew the printer was not at home when the 1841 census was taken and died before that of 1851. No record of his death has been found but Catherine née Mcglashan is a widow in 1851.
Catherine Maitland née Mcglashan is at the Borthwick’s Close address in the 1841 census together with Catherine Daly Maitland and Andrew Maitland, aged 69, born out of county who is an « Army P. », which I take to mean Army pensioner. I have been unable to find any record of a soldier or an Army pensioner named Andrew Maitland and born about 1771.
Andrew Maitland, a printer of Old Assembly Close, married Margaret White in 1835. She may have died in 1836. This marriage is too late for Margaret to be Catherine Daly’s mother, always supposing the Andrew Maitland is the same one.
I have a lot of information on the children and their descendants and also some on Catherine Mcglashan’s forebears and siblings as well as her second marriage to Hugh Mckay, but would be extremely grateful if anyone could tell me more about either of the two Andrew Maitlands of Borthwick’s Close who I think must be separate individuals unless anyone knows otherwise.
Regards
Judith
