Himsley/Emslie/Himisley

[Finley 1]

OK.. This line is proving difficult to take back further than: William Himsley 1794 bn London... Now I have put the request on Fife board.... due to my Gt Grandmother being born in Kirkaldy.
So what I have is this:
Grace Himsley born 1856 Kirkaldy daughter of - William Himsley (there are lots of variations on the spelling of Himsley for instance Himisley / Emslie) and Margaret Robertson... I have Graces death cert that proves this.  So This William was born 1826 North Leith Midlothian,  he died c 1861 (cant find this to verify) and Margaret ended up with poss 3 illegitmate extras in the poor house...
His father was William born London 1794 - I have his death cert which shows parents as William Sergeant in the Marines and Ann with name that is not quite readable but could be Buchanan or Mckinnon.. ... So I then have a William born c1745 married to Ann McKinnon or Buchanan?  and it is from here I would like to get more details....

hello

yes I have all that... and the two marriages  it all took a lot of searching though...

My line is :  Grace Himsley bn 1856 Kirkaldy daughter of William 1826 - who is the son of William bn 1794 London and Agnes Hannah so therefore is the brother of your Helen Hannah Himsley...bn 1824-- so hello cousin... this means we have a definate link.... how good is that?! 

Now I am trying to go further back.. I imagine you know they are all sailors or rope makers etc... etc...

Hello,
          I have just started to get back into this, I did think they were sailors,
I've been more interested in the Shields/Martins side of my mothers family,
Where in this big wide world are you ....
I found a David Himsleys tree on the net, familytree.himsley.org try awee look at this if you haven't seen it.

Hi from John Henderson aka DDJJAKE,
My first cousin twice removed Agnes Hunter BLAKE/HENDERSON [illigit b. 1886 Leslie- died 1955 Dundee RI ) married the grandson, James Moffat Martin [b. 1883 Ballingry- died 1973 Cupar], of Helen Hannah Himsley (b. 1824 N Leith).
I have most of the Himsley data you mention ... but did not follow-up William (1826) to Grace et al.

There is a distant relationship between the Himsleys/Martins/Shields/Glovers and Cairns' to the late Lord Kincraig (Robert Kilpatrick of Buckhaven b. Dysart, July1926) from the 'shot-gun' marriage of Catherine Sharp Glover and Rbt Kilpatrick Snr in March 1926 ) via Helen Himsley Martin (1904).

Aye

WOOOW  does that mean I am illegitamately related to somebody with drops of blue blood   interesting...

Now Hunter and Henderson are two names that follow through the line...
and you must be closer to Pizel than me as she is from the Martin side...

would be great to have anything you may have...
they are a little complicated so any help would be great... and if you want the Grace Himsley and Robert Sutherland details I can let you have them..

thanks
