Bervie - Lownie

[MonicaL]

I can't have the correct Robert as born 1858. His marriage to Ann Munro shows in Dundee on 19 July 1871.

James, I agree, I think you might be going off track. Maybe the point to start at is with the marriage of James and Matilda, and with those parents' details from their certificate, work back to their parents' marriage. With James' parents showing potentially as 1871 in Dundee, there is this entry for example in 1891, all the family showing as born in Dundee:

Robert Lownie 48, AB seaman
William Lownie 20, Printers Clerk
James Lownie 15, Sailmakers Apprentice
Charles Lownie 11
Alexander Lownie 9
John Lownie 7
Margaret Gray 54, housekeeper

Address: 7 St Matthew St, Dundee

The marriage certificate of James Munro Lownie and Mathilda May reads :

19 June 1907 at 5 Park Place, Dundee after Banns according to the United Free Church.  James Munro Lownie, Confection? Packer aged 32 living at 43 Constitution Road, Dundee.  His parents - Robert Lownie, Seaman and Annie Munro (deceased).
Mathilda Hermina ?? May, Jute Spinner aged 30 of 1 Harriet Street, Dundee. Her parents - Carl May, Shoemaker (deceased) and Mathilda ?
The witnesses were John Munro Lownie and Isabella MacKenzie.

Isles.

Isles, apologies, completely missed your reply on the details of the 1871 marriage  With that information and that 1901 census entry, this looks like Ann with children in 1881 - likely father off to sea I would imagine:

Ann Lownie 35, Seaman'S Wife, b. Glasgow
William Lownie 11
James Lownie 8
Charles Lownie 2

Address: 3 St Matthew St., Dundee

And the 1901 entry:

Robert Lownie 58, AB seaman
William Lownie 28, bookbinder
James Lownie 23, Sawmill Labourer
John Lownie 17, Linen Calender Hand

Address: 7 St Matthew St., Dundee

Hi Ev

Thanks for the information my grandmother was Margaret Ann Taylor's daughter but on birth certificate it stated she was illegitimate and although I have the information on the Lownie family tree it would appear she may not have in fact been related to them.

She had quite a hard time one son dying age 13 after an op husband died from an op when he was 37 and another son died in the war age 22.

Have you any other information on the Taylor side of the family?

Helen
