COMRIE birth

[MonicaL]

Just adding this from the other post:

Bertha still very much showing as Mobbs at the time of husband Lionel's death in 1972 www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/45821/supplements/13290/page.pdf

Given the address and date, that fits well with mention of the wind down of AE Jackman (Holdings) Ltd. www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/45966/pages/5490/page.pdf

It looks like a lot of the middle names in this family work in very well, if we take for example Willis, as a middle name also sometimes as a first name then Fotheringham, Milligen.

Isabella Fotheringham, who married Peter Comrie, her parents were Willis Fotheringham, and Jane Milligen, its all out there and very interesting families.

The 1881 census for,
Auldgirth Station,
Closeburn, Dumfries,

Willis B. Fotheringham, Head, Railway Station Master, M. age 56 years, M. born Irvine, Ayr,
Jane Fotheringham, Wife, Housekeeper, M. age 55 years, F. born Irvine, Ayr,
Elizabeth Fotheringham, Daur, Station Master Dau, U. age 17 years, F. born Irvine.

The above Willis Balshillie Fotheringham, born 24/Dec/1824. Irvine, Ayr, to parents Richard Fotheringham, and Isabella Dunlop.

Of course the only way to prove beyond doubt is to purchace the death certificate of Bertha Roeber Comrie, aka Mobbs, and conclude that her parents were indeed John Comrie, and Jane Richardson Morrison, and the wife of Lionel Mobbs.

Regards,
Jonn.

Hello Margp,

The death date you gave for Bertha Roeba Mobbs/Comrie, 1988, age 74 years, her mothers name is Morrison, on that index, which concurs with marriage information on your earlier post.

Almost certainly the correct lady given the names concerned.

Regards,
Jonn.

Hi Jonn, the index I look at, had in the box, Mothers Surname, Not Permissible, and no mention of Morrison

Hello Margp,

I have repeated that particular search four times over the past two days and the mothers surname is coming up as Morrison, exact spelling is required in mothers surname box.

Betha Roebe* Comrie, aka Mobbs, aka Marsh, 1988, age 74 years, Dumfries.

By that period ie 1988, mothers surnames were on the search index on Scotlandspeople.

Please try again and let me know how you get on.

Regards,
Jonn.
