Yes I know he was married to Christian Davison I have that.  So

What are you asking me to check.   I can accept it if it is wrong as I am not sure of areas of Scotland.. hang on and I will try and give you an idea of what I have

So   ---  If you are saying I have the wrong Thomas -- which is possible.

Have you (please please :) ) found me the correct one... that is actually married to a lady called Mary ?? to enable him to be the Father of Ann and then for her to go to Dunfermline to be a Nursery Assistant to meet my Robert   :) 

this in no way is me being aaaargh.... just a oooooh no.. ha ha

will have to check that 1841 on SP

I know that I have wandered from Edinburgh to Glasgow and Aberdeen and it is not something I do normally..

as I say if I am wrong and we now have it right brilliant...

I am off to spend money on SP  to see what else I can find.

There is 178 miles between Lonmay and Airdrie and would take just over 4 hours today to travel between them
Thomas was born New Deer Aberdeenshire and by 1841 is living in Old Deer in an Outhouse on a farm which is 14 mins away from New Deer
It is possible he moved down to Airdrie had a daughter his wife died and moved back up to the north of Aberdeenshire where Lonmay is all in the space of 10 years but in my opinion unlikely

Have you considered Mary and thomas were not married I have had a look on Scotlands people and can find no marriage  or births to this couple while its not unusal to not find one birth you can usually find one of a sibling or the marriage
Found the marriage now and that could be your couple I just don't think it's the same Thomas Finnie who went on to marry Christian

Thank you

love the understanding of distances - its a big part of it all.

I haven't touched the Finnie side for some years until now going up to see Roberts grave etc.. and it came up that her age was different.  To what I had expected.   

I am just going through my old old files in dropbox and saved files on SP to see where I got the info from.. and how I settled at what I have.

so I do appreciate your input.. I like things to fit. and be correct .  I have the death that just says mother Mary  - of course she may not have known .. she was a very young ?? girl when she first met Robert .. I will start again from that Census in 1851 in Dunfermline when I first found her.

thanks. again..

Does the 1851 census say that ann finnie was born in airdrie.  Reason i am asking is that your thomas and mary mccallum were married in glasgow in 1831 but there is another thomas finnie who married a mary watson in airdrie in 1845 so just wondered if this could be the reason that there is differences in dates etc.  Maybe your ann finnie was born in glasgow and not the ann finnie in airdrie.

Yep  it says Airdrie Lanarkshire   and I chose this one due to the date of her birth that I had at the time. 1832  bits of a jigsaw that seemed to fit.. but maybe .. not

as this..
