Craig and Peterkin

[lorrainec]

Hello!
I am looking for any death information for John Craig and/or his wife Jane Peterkin. John was born c1784 and was a soldier at Waterloo. I have no dates for Jane other than the wedding in 1817.

Here is their wedding info - 1817
05/04/1817 CRAIG, JOHN (Old Parish Registers Marriages 685/1 540 223 Edinburgh) Page 223 of 373

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Did they have any children ?

Sometimes tracing the children and their marriages/deaths can give you the information needed on the parents.

Hi Dorrie
The only child I know of is son John Craig, b. c1821. He died in 1906 in Blairgowrie. There is nothing on his death or marriage certs that would help me with his parents.

Have you found John Craig junior in a census to pin down his place of birth? There are various John Craigs who appear as army pensioners in the censuses.

GR2 - yes, I have Jr's birth ... Edinburgh, 1822 - mother is Mary Carmichael

[lorrainec]

actually I think I have posted in the wrong place .... the family is from Blairgowrie ... in Perthshire, tho he was born in Edinburgh .... all very confusing!

So is Jane Peterkin a second wife?

[lorrainec]

I think we are talking about 2 different people.
I am looking for info (death) for John Craig and Jane Peterikin - Their son is John who married Mary Carmichael.

Hiya!
I have posted this in a different forum and don't know how to copy here - which is the right forum!

Threads merged and moved to Perthshire.

Any help is appreciated.
