Torpichen

Torphichen

married Anne Kynock on 2 Oct, 1745 at Tibber More Church

Tibbermore - all one word.

The marriage is unlikely to have taken place in the church building. The normal thing was for the wedding to be held in the bride's home or, if she had no parents or was married a long way from their home, in the manse or in her employers' house.

in New Burg

Is this Newburgh, and if so is it Newburgh in Fife (the most likely)? There is another village of Newburgh in Aberdeenshire, besides various farms of the same name all over the country.

Thank you
I have not myself verify any of this as a friend did the research for me. I am not in Scotland I am in Canada.
But am sure the info is correct.
I do not know what year that Robert Taylor born 1850 left Scotland and went to New Brunswick, he married in 1877 Elizabeth Howie , in Kings Clear New Brunswick Canada. On his marriage certificate it has his parents as William Taylor & Janet Keddie. I have seen this myself as I have a copy of the marriage certifacate.

I am not sure if NewBurg is one or two words.

[Forfarian]

am not sure if NewBurg is one or two words.

I am sure. I can absolutely guarantee that there is no place in Scotland called New Burg or Newburg 

The baptisms of the older children are not listed on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk, which means that the records of their baptisms. if they ever existed, have not survived. However the statutory registers of births list John, born 2 January 1855; Agnes, 3 June 1857; and Helen, 2 May 1861. 1855 birth certificates are genealogical gold mines, because they contain information not collected in any other year.

Ev has given you a transcription of the 1851 census, and a likely death for Janet Keddie or Taylor. I noted that a William Taylor, aged 63, died in Auchtermuchty in 1879, so I took a look at that death certificate. This was indeed William Taylor, married to Janet Keddie, but he was not the son of Alexander Taylor and Elizabeth Simson. His parents, according to his son David who registered the death, were Thomas Taylor and Mary Ann Gillchrist.

So I am sorry to rain on your parade, but what your friend gave you is incorrect. It looks as if your friend has found a likely-looking candidate of about the right age, and has assumed that because there isn't another likely candidate, this must be the right one. This is a very common mistake. It is never safe to make such an assumption because there are so many people whose baptism records have not survived. You may as well throw away the rest of what your friend found, because it is based on a rather fundamental error.

From what others had I did suspect all was not correct ,  Forfarian 

However I did see this -
1851 Census(FreeCEN transcription)
Crosshill , Auchtermuchty , Fife
Thomas Taylor 79 pauper formerly brewer b. Errol Perth
Mary Ann Taylor 72 wife pauper b. Edinburgh Midlothian
Euphemia Adam 10 grndau yarn sizier b. Auchtermuchty Fife

From memory there is a possible death for this Thomas 1855(age 83) in Auchtermuchty.

Death for a Mary Ann S Taylor(other surname Gilchrist) , age 85 , 1862 Auchtermuchty Fife.

Good find, ev 

[ruthhelen]

Good find indeed ev.

And as well as the death of Thomas Taylor in 1855 (mother's maiden name Braes) - there's also a possible death for Mary Ann S Taylor (other name Gilchrist) in Auchtermuchty in 1862 - no mother's maiden name indexed by the looks of it, but still - a bonus to have both of them die after 1855

There's a baptism of Thomas, son of James Taylor and Margaret Braes, in Errol on 3 September 1775.

There's also a baptism of Peter Taylor, parents James Taylor and Elizabeth Braes, on 4 May 1777.

So the question arises, which one is the one the clerk got wrong?
