Carnie, Brand & Noble - Newhaven and Leith
« on: Tuesday 09 July 13 09:27 BST (UK) »
I'd be interested to know if anyone else is looking into the Carnie, Brand and Noble families in Newhaven and Leith. I'm following back from my grandmother, Emily Dores Carnie Brand, born 1903 in South Leith to James Marr Brand and Emily Dores Carnie. I'm especially curious to discover where the Dores element in the name comes from, since at the moment it hasn't come up anywhere in the tree.

Hi SpudJW,

With a name like Carnie in Newhaven area, would expect some connection to fishing.

I have found a Mary Dores Carnie born to parents Liston Carnie and Isabella Dores on LDS site on 30 Mar 1860 at Leith.

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FQCN-FFK

There is an Emily Doves(sic) Carnie born on 10 Dec 1865 to parents John Carnie and Christina Noble.

Probably connected to your tree, would think Liston and John would be siblings, not proved as yet.

Yes, Tom, fishermen all. Emily Dores Carnie - we can presume the Doves is a mistranscription - was my gran's mother.

Emily's father John Carnie had a son Liston, but he would only have been about 10 in 1860. John's father was also Liston, however, and in the 1841 census his wife Janet Mair or Muir is no longer in residence: I wonder if he married again, to Isabella Dores?

If Isabella's Liston were John's brother, would that be reason enough to include her surname in their daughter's name?

Hi,
I don't know how far into your research you are but Newhaven was a very insular village and most people who lived there were related in some way or another so working out who's who is mind numbing.  I have been working on the Newhaven branch of my tree for quite some time now and it gets more confusing every time I look at it.

I have your Emily Dores Carnie in my tree... I also have Isabella Dores (Carnie).......I haven't as yet made any connection between them but I will keep looking... I have James Brand's middle name as Moir (his mother's maiden name).  Did you know that Emily's sister Helen married James' brother Robert ....

If you think I may be able to help you in any way please let me know and I will do my best.
Regards
Aileen

should also have mentioned I do have another couple of Dores in my tree and will attempt to look for connections.
Isabella Dores did marry a Liston Carnie....but not the "right" one.

Thanks for all this, Aileen! I've got some more bits & bobs too, I'll post them as soon as I can. It is a terrible labyrinth of names around there: I remember when I was doing my first days of research at the Records Office I just gave up on this line in despair at ever sorting them all out!

Does this make sense to you?:

Amelia, also Emily, seems to have been called Bemellie Bell at her birth, her parents being Andrew Dors and Isabelle Liston - Isabelle, I think, remarried to a William Patterson in 1833. Before marrying James Noble, looking at the 1851 census, it seem Amelia might have had an illegitimate son to a Liston Carnie, since a boy of the same name is in residence, as "Grandson".
