Hi akc,

Thanks for William, not sure how I missed him............probably because he is not on LDS?

Hi akc,

I'm helping a friend so early in my research but according to census Eliza Pearson was born Evie, Orkney c 1824 ish. That's how early on I'm into things as I'm just about to look that up as I'd never heard of Evie.

The naming pattern of kids seems a bit "skee-wiff" though to have an educated guess at her mother's name.

1st b David seems to be named after dad himself as it appears by 1841 census that David snr's father was James & mother Margaret.
2nd b Margaret Davidson Sinclair so pos Eliza's mother was Margaret or maybe her m/s Davidson unless Davidson was David snr's mother's m/s?

Annie.

3 of the kids have surnames for middlenames

Margaret Davidson 1851
James Miller 1864
John Irvine 1868

So I have quite a choice for Eliza's mother m/s but can't get my head round the fact that none of the girls was name Eliza/Elizabeth?

I suppose that's what makes genealogy so interesting & challenging  ::)
