Hi Pam,

Thanks for your reply. Margaret Blackadder was my 4 x Gt Grandmother so I am very keen to find out more.

I have no information about her parents or siblings, but I know she married James Sinclair and they had at least 9 children born between 1804 and 1831 in St Ninians, Stirling.

I can't see any connection to Falkirk, but I'd like to speak to you more.

Regards

David

Hi DDJJake

This is what I suspected, but you have James Blackadder  b 1778 married to Margaret (Carr) Kerr as the parents of William Blackadder b 26 Mar 1810, who on the 1841 was living with his father James b abt 1765 and  his sister Jean, on the1851 census William was a nailer and was living with his sister Jean b abt 1802 they also had a brother James Blackadder b abt 1811 and a sister Agnes who was the informant on her brother William's death cert

I know this because I have all their death certs, but their parents on all of them were James Blackadder and Agnes Robertson, I thought initially that James had perhaps married twice and maybe that is in fact the case, there is no record of a marriage for James Blackadder and Agnes Robertson nor any children recorded as born to them

When I first found the death cert for James Blackadder I thought perhaps the informant had got the name of his mother wrong but when I found the next two DCs giving the same mother's name I felt they must be correct

My email address is (*) if you would like a copy of the aforementioned DCs get back to me this way and I will send them on

Look forward to hearing from you

Regards
Pam

In relation to this information:

Here is more earlier data,
First Generation

   1.   William Blackadder  was born on 23 Mar 1737 in St Ninians, Stirling, Scotland.

William married Jean Burgess  about 1770 in St Ninians, Stirling, Scotland.

They had the following children:

+   2   M   i.   John Blackadder  was born in 1770.

+   3   M   ii.   James Blackadder  was born in 1778.



My ancestor was Margaret Blackadder, born c1776 in St Ninians. Do you have any information that she could have been a sister to John and James? Or information that she was NOT related?

Regards

David

Hi david-G

An 1841 Census for St Ninians transcribed from 'freecen' .....
SINCLAIR   James   M   64   Flour Miller    born Stirlingshire       
BLACKADDER   Margt   F   45    born Stirlingshire       
SINCLAIR   Alexr   M   20   Nailer  born Stirlingshire       
SINCLAIR   James   M   12   Apprentice Nailer  born Stirlingshire       
SINCLAIR   John   M   10   born Stirlingshire     

This Margaret Blackadder was thus c. 49 or 48 or 47 or 46 or 45 and born between c. 1792 and 1796 if approximate ages to the nearer 5 or 0 was (as normally) employed by the Census taker.

Indeed. Typing error on tree. My manual records of course have dob as 1796. I wonder if there is a link with the Blackadders of St Ninians that you mentioned. I've done a lot of digging, but without success.
