Catherine Thomson c1837

[Magiccat1978]

No there is no mention of them being deceased on the marriage certificate and are both deceased on her death certificate as expected.
 I had followed a family I thought had been her parents and siblings up until the 1881 census but then the death certificate for that Catherine Thomson which revealed the names Mitchell, Kerr and Grant instead of the expected Walker.
All subsequent census entries give Catherine Allister (Thomson) place of birth as Fife.
I wonder if she just didn't think to list her parents as deceased on her marriage certificate? Must have another look at it and see who the witnesses are, can't remember off the top of my head.
Thanks again
Laura

Had a look and the witnesses are William Allister and Charles something -. Could be Walker? Will try to post a snippet of it later for you to look at once I get to a PC.

If Catherine's birth place is consistent with Ceres then she should be traceable pre marriage?

Hi

I dug out the copy I had of the Allister / Thomson marriage cert was really faint so I have downloaded a fresh copy from SP and when I enhanced it on the computer there is something after John Thomsons name and it could well be (dec) deceased. I will try to attach it for you to see.
She gives her age as 24 and in the box for profession/relationship it simply say Spinster. Georges entry say Labourer and Bachelor.

I wonder if the names of George Allister and Catherine Thomsons children might help to narrow it down ?
They are :
Christina c1861, William c1863, John Thomson c1863, George c1864, Catherine c1867, Alexander Thomson c1868, Helen c1870, Charles c 1872, Christina Walker c1874 and Matthew Kinnaird c1876.

Is it possible that the 1851 entry is them and Catherine aged 16 is Christians daughter?  I cant seen to find the entry on SP but I will keep looking
