George McIntosh and Isabella Williams - Caprington Castle

[itsmaggie]

I'm looking for George McIntosh, born about 1799 in Edinburgh and his wife, Isabella Williams, born 16 September 1806 in Haddington.  They are recorded living at Caprington Castle, near Riccarton, in the 1841 and the 1851 census.  I have no further information on either their parents or their marriage or deaths.

They had children, George b 1827, Henry b 1829, Jane 1831 and Helen b 24 February 1833.

Does anyone have any information that may help?  Many thanks if you have.

Hi,

Two records that may help from http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/

1826 George McIntosh married Isabella Williams Canongate, Edinburgh
1888 Isabella McIntosh, other name Williams, birth year 1806, died Lanarkshire

The death cert will give you Isabella's parents, if known by the informant.

hello again,

I believe George & Isabella's son, George, (born 1827) moved to Dundee?  Not sure if you already have this info from family search:

1848 George McIntosh married Charlotte McDonald 21 July, Dundee, Angus
Their children:
John b. 7 May 1856 Dundee
William b. 7 Apr 1858 Dundee
David b. 28 Aug 1862 Dundee
Elizabeth b. 2 Jan 1865 Dundee

There are a few deaths for a George McIntosh in the old Parish death records but they are all in Edinburgh and as George was in Ayrshire on the 1851 census most likely not him ..His wife on her own in the 1861 census at 3, Langlands Street Kilmarnock Ayrshire

Hello all,

The information from Rosie17. regarding Alexander McKinlock, and wife Jane, should i would have thought read McIntosh, instead of McKinlock, because all the births of their children are correct and in the correct destinations only under Alexander McIntosh, and his wife Jane McIntosh, including a daughter Jane Mcintosh, also a Mark Williams Mcintosh, and a Helen Mcintosh, etc.

Regards,
Jonn.

Hello All,

Jane Macintosh, Sister, U. age 20 years, F. born Kilmarnock, Ayr,
George H. Macintosh, Brother, Railway Clerk, U. age 17 years, M. born Old Cumnock, Ayr.

The parents, Alexander Macintosh, and his wife Jane Macitosh, are no where in sight, however these young people are all living close to the Isabella Mcintosh, and her granddaughter Helen Mcintosh, in the census provided by Rosie17.
