1844, July 2nd. John Wright junr residing at Hillhead of Corsindae and Jessy Sherriffs residing at Cartorfolds had an illegitimate son baptized at Thainstone in the parish of Kintore by the Revd Mr Simpson, free Church Minister of Kintore before these witnesses viz John Stephen and George Stephen both residing at Thainstone in the said parish of Kintore. Named James. Born 26th April 1844.

Jessy Sherrifs, aged 15, is at Cartars, Midmar in 1841. This is very close to Corsindae, as you can see from the map.

In 1851 James Wright, 6, grandson, is in the household of John Wright and his wife Magdaline at Hillhead in Midmar. I note with interest that John, son of John Wright and Magdaline Jamieson, was baptised in Inverurie on 27 April 1823. They also had Anne, baptised 1832, and Isaac, baptised 1836, who exactly match the other two members of the household in 1851.

In 1841 John Sr and Magdalen Wright were at Ardybrown, Chapel of Garioch, with three Wright and two Jameson children.

enclosed is the extract of James marriage record. It shows a different mother - possibly his fathers wife. What do the initials MS next to her name ? cathrine? Sawson Deceased.

many thanks

M.S= Maiden Surname. I would suggest Lawson not Sawson was her maiden surname.

William
