While attempting to work on one more family line...
JAMES RICHARDSON (born Aug 1851)-son of Mary Murray & Walter Richardson and his wife MARGARET "Maggie" WADIE (born c1852)dau of Elizabeth Kersel and Robert Waldie.
MARGARET"Maggie" and JAMES had 7 known children.
Elizabeth Kersel.Mary Murray,Margaret Waldie,Walter,Robert,Charlotte and John.
By a fluke I found the marriage for the 1st child,Elizabeth Kersel Richardson and she married an Alexander LITTLE (Son of Margaret Johnstone and William Little)
So I though I would pay the piper at SP and enter the next child's name and see who she married. It seems that you have to enter BOTH of the couples names.
QUESTION ???...Is this really so?..... and Is there a way around this situation.
Thanks for reading and for any further ideas.
PS..I have this family documented on census 1861 to 1901.

Not sure what is going on with your searches on SP unfortunately. You are able to search marriages with just one partner's name (including the use of wildcards on the search).

I have a dumb question..what do I put in as the wild card?say in the males name....thanks monica
-
It was just a side comment :) You can include wildcards if you want to pick up on spelling variants on SP which is quite strict and rigid on how names are indexed for searches. '*' replaces any number of letters and '?' replaces just one.
You can search by either the male name or female name only.

Hello
I sometimes find it easier to search for deaths - especially if they have a middle name.
1 1883 RICHARDSON MARY MURRAY F 2 WILTON /ROXBURGH 810/00 0104
2 1931 RICHARDSON MARY MURRAY BROWN F 48 DRYFESDALE /DUMFRIES 820/00 0026
The first, ? possibly yours. Regards, Steve .....

Thanks Monica & Piglet...back to the drawing board.
I did go to SP and check out that 1931 death of Mary Murray Richardson -Brown..nope,not mine....but will file her..... as my Mary Murray Richardson had a younger brother Robert (born c 1887)...one never knows.
The other Mary Murray Richardson age 2 who died in Hawick is interesting. Mine was born 1879 and shows on census 1881 age 1,and 1891 age 11 .
So I will keep plugging away..that is after I feed SP my plastic again..he he
-
OK...I went and chased WALTER RICHARDSON's death and found it and it shows he was married to an ELIZABETH WATSON and they lived at 5 Wellington Street and the son James W Richardson signed the death info...so I am slowly getting there.
It appears that James W Richardson (the son) lived at 24 Wellogate in Hawick.
So I might as well pay the piper for the marriage...he he .
The things we do for the love of family research.!....We pull out the plastic.!!

This is off the topic of this thread, but I am descended from James RICHARDSON of Hawick m around 1790 to Isabel or Jean or Jane SCOTT. There are Walter's and James RICHARDSON's all through my tree. I was wondering if there is a connection?

Looks like a yes....I have James Richardson,farmer born c 1765 and married Isabel/Isabella Scott Nov 22 1787 in Hawick.
Their son Andrew Richardson born c 1791 in Rox.Scot and died Feb 22 1869 in Hawick,married Margaret Pollock June 24 1814.
Margaret Pollock and Andrew Richardson had 9 known children...James,Andrew,JOHN (my direct line) David,Alexander,Isabella,Margaret and George 1,and then George 2....
How does that fit with what you might have?

My 3 x Gt Grandfather was Henry Richardson born 1801 in Hawick. Parents are James Richardson and Jane Scott. Henry's siblings are: William (c1791), Walter (c1792), Betty (c1794), James (1796), Thomas (1806) and James (c1808). This info is from the IGI (extracted records) and the mother's name is recorded on some records as Jean Scott on others as Jane Scott. I have looked on Scotlands People and I cannot find a marriage of a James Richardson to a Jean or Jane Scott. There IS however the marriage to Isabel Scott. Scotlands people have a death for Isabel Richardson. 23/8/1818. Hawick. Other names recorded on death record are Jas Richardson and Scott. Looks likely to be the Isabel who married James Richardson in 1787. Nothing returned for a Jean Richardson between 1807 and 1854. There is a Jane Richardson in 1810 but the other names recorded on record are Rutherford and Ritchie. No mention of a Richardson.
I have 3 Isabella's and 3 Jane's scattered around my Richardson tree but no Jean's. On the IGI there is a James Richardson born c1767 to John Richardson and Isabel Scott. I was wondering if it were possible that if the son of John and Isabel married another Isabel Scott it may have been confusing so the younger Isabel became known as Jean or Jane. Just a thought.

Hi
My ears are picking up on your threads, you could be talking about my family too.......WOW I hope so.
I come up through Alexander Richardson, son of Andrew Richardson and Margaret Pollock branch of the tree. I havent got Andrew Richardsons parents yet, However, If mine and your Andrew b1791 Hawick are the same, then we really do link up our trees........
My Alexander m Christina Burns. They had Janet / Andrew / John Burns ( my Gt Grandfather} and Margaret all born in Hawick.
John Burns Richardson m Annie Crozier in Hawick 1884, they had six kids. Alexander/ William / Fergus/ Thomas / Christina / James Murray ( my Grandad)b1897 Hawick.
James Murray Richardson m Grace Anderson and had twins, My father John Burns Richardson and Walter Romanes Richardson b1924 Hawick
Here's hoping
Happy Hunting
Carolyn :)

BINGO...IT'S A HIT....Your Alexander was born Oct 22 1833 in Hawick and married Christina Burns Nov 13 1853....
My line is Alex's older brother John born 1826 who married Harriet Miller 1848
I will send you a personal email with my email address in it...this is great. !!!

Hi there:
Wonderful, searching same line.
I have JAMES RICHARDSON b.1767 marrying ISOBEL SCOTT on 22 Nov 1787, Hawick, Roxburgh - 4 children.
Also JOHN RICHARDSON b.1741 marrying ISOBEL SCOTT on 10 Apr 1761, Hawick, Roxburgh - 8 children. I have double checked this data, but it seems strange that there are two ISOBEL SCOTT's in two generations and very confusing.
I then have parents of JOHN RICHARDSON b.1741 as GEORGE RICHARDSON b1703 and BETTY SHIEL - 4 children born from this marriage.
Do you have ISOBEL RICHARDSON (nee Pursel) b.1680 who married ANDREW RICHARDSON b.1682 1n 1702 in Hawick?
Look forward to exchanging further data.
Regards Maggie

Hi Clan Richardson:

Thank you

Hi Maggie and everyone,
It's been a long while since you last posted and I'm hoping you're still on this forum. I've had to put the family history on hold for a while and I'm only just picking up the reins again. I haven't yet sorted out all the James', John's and Isobel's yet and just wanted to touch base to see if anyone has found anything else out. I'm still not sure whether I can actually claim my James RICHARDSON and Jean/Jane SCOTT is in fact the James and Isobel SCOTT you all are talking about. I'm happy to pass on my personal email if anyone would like to correspond further. Please message me.
Cheers,
Alison
