Title: Fletcher born in
Post by: BronwenS on Wednesday 11 October 17 21:50 BST (UK)
Hi

Anyone know of the Fletcher family.  Her death cert says she was born in Edinburgh, her parents were Elizabeth Erskine and Ebenezer Fletcher.  Any information on these latter two also would be hellpful.  I have searched pretty thoroughly on Scotlands people.

Thanks Bronwen

Hi,
I have found a James Brock who married in 1832 in Hamilton, Lanark, Scotland. He was married to a Menie Fletcher on the 4 March 1832. The only Menie or Mennie Fletcher I could find was born in 1802 in Kilmoden Argyll. Not sure if these are the people you are looking for but I am able to help out if required.
Regards

Thanks Mike that is fantastic - sounds like I was totally up the pole. 
I have a bit more information since I put this up - but some of this now may be wrong.
Her daughter Jane Brock's death certificate says she was formerly a Fletcher and Wright.
The 1871 census says she was born in Edinburgh.
I have seen her name listed as Menie and various other spellings.

I would appreciate anything going backwards or forwards to ensure I have it right.

many many thanks Bronwen, Christchurch, New Zealand

Hi again Michael

This is the marriage details I have from the register.  So I assume these are the banns?  Three dates, did they marry on the last date.

Oddly enough I had just posted yesterday a big query because I have got all the Brocks confused and am not sure who is related to my line.

Beautiful day here in Chjristchirch despite being the middle of winter.

There is a marriage for a Margory Fletcher to a Robert Wright 7 July 1822 in Hamilton possible first marriage
Title: Re: Fletcher born in
Post by: BronwenS on Friday 03 August 18 21:27 BST (UK)
Thanks to you both.  The dates for the first marriage would work.  Perhaps there are children by this marriage given the years.  I shall do a search on Scotland's people.

If she was married twice as it says she was wouldn't she have married under the name Wright when she married the second time?

Her parents and their 2 children?

Hi Bronwen, to answer your question about name on 2nd marriage, in Scotland women always marry under their MS. Since official reg. you will see " formally xxx " xxx being their previous married name.
Title: Re: Fletcher born in
Post by: Wendy2305 on Friday 03 August 18 23:08 BST (UK)
In Scotland women retain their maiden name throughout their life so a woman will marry using her maiden name every time she marries and will be registered by all names married and maiden on death makes them easier to find

The banns are read in the parish where the person is living at the time so if they are living in different parishes then the banns are recorded in both parishes so according to this one of them was living in Kilmodan and the other was living in Inverchaolian at the time

Many thanks to all definitely on the right track.  Bronwen

I do have all of jane and John Summers details their children etc.

Not sure about this - something missing, James is not one of their children cause he was born in 1791
There is a generation or two missing here?

Hi Bronwen,
I think I have found one of the missing links.
James Brockie was married twice, His second wife was possibly a Jean Smillie who was the mother of James Brock Dob 1791. I cannot find a marriage date or Dob for Jean Smillie.

All for now
Regards
Mike
Title: Re: Fletcher born in
Post by: BronwenS on Sunday 05 August 18 09:33 BST (UK)
Thanks.
I don't understand which one of the James Brockie's married twice and could be the father of the one that was born 1791 May 20 Gorbals, Lanarkshire.

None of them seem to be of the right age?

Where do you find all this information.  I mostly use Scotlands People?
Title: Re: Fletcher born in
Post by: fletch001 on Sunday 05 August 18 11:57 BST (UK)
Hi
James Brockie Dob 1693 who married Jean Logan married a Jean Smillie possibly after Jean Logan past away. Jean Smillie is the mother of James Brock 1791.
James Brock Dob 1791 - 1866 also married twice, A Margaret Brock Dob 1798 Edinburgh. Menie Fletcher was also called Mary in other family trees.
If You go to John Brock Dob 1819 son of James & Menie/Mary Brock, he married a Barbara Forrest, their son James Brock Dob 1853 married a Susan Dickie in Ontario Canada, their relatives moved onto Michigan USA.

Bronwen,
sorry, my fault for rushing far too fast, even for my liking. I have found the missing links and it seems there are two families which are mixed up in each others family trees. This will take a while to sort, basically starting again. I will email you when I have reworked the Brock family correctly.

Post by: fletch001 on Monday 06 August 18 19:14 BST (UK)
Bronwen,
I am coming to the conclusion that Menie/Mennie/Meady Fletcher are possibly short slang names for Marjory Fletcher.
Every search I put into the searches for those names, they all come up married to the same James Brock. However, I have started a fresh and making sure all the names etc. tally up in each census and records I can find.

Please note, you will have to PM me with your email address as it was deleted by the admin.

Could be, but Minnie/Menie is often a pet name for Mary.

There is only one place to search for originals, and that is Scotland's People. Never believe anything you find online unless it is an image of an original document. See http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=714261.0

Quote
Three dates, did they marry on the last date.
Not necessarily. Those are the dates when their banns were proclaimed in the kirk. The wedding would have been shortly after the third proclamation.

Quote
The only Menie or Mennie Fletcher I could find was born in 1802 in Kilmoden Argyll.
This is obviously not the right person because the parents do not match the ones in the original post, Ebenezer Fletcher and Elizabeth Erskine, and the birthplace doesn't match the census listings. Just because there is only one candidate does not mean that it is the right one.

Quote
If she was married twice as it says she was wouldn't she have married under the name Wright when she married the second time?
No. She would still be recorded under her own surname.

Quote
James Brockie Dob 1693 who married Jean Logan married a Jean Smillie possibly after Jean Logan past away. Jean Smillie is the mother of James Brock 1791.
You seem to be saying that James Brockie fathered James Brock when he was 97 or 98 years old. I don't think this is very likely.
Title: Re: Fletcher born in
Post by: BronwenS on Sunday 12 August 18 23:01 BST (UK)
Thanks for your responses - there are other Mennie Fletchers in her line.
Yes I had already questioned Fletch about him fathering a child at that age.
Scotland's People is what I use all the time to ascertain things.
I realise if they aren't there doesn't mean they didn't exist.
thanks for the info about banns and marriages - I wasn't certain when it meant they marry.

Fletch has done quite an extensive thing for me now which I am working through.

Hi All,
Yes, Menie I believe is a spelling mistake of Mennie which originates from Gaelic/early Irish modern meaning wealthy.
We are looking for a Mennie Fletcher, not a Minnie Fletcher which we know is short for Mary but also for Minerva, Winifred, Wilhelmina or Amelia. That is, of course, Mennie is not a spelling mistake from way back when. I have only found one Mennie Fletcher on Scotlands People born 01/11/1802 to an Angus Fletcher & Margaret Baxter. Of course, any help with this family tree is always welcome especially for Bronwen, as long as we get it right.

Regards
Mike

Yes, Menie I believe is a spelling mistake of Mennie which originates from Gaelic/early Irish modern meaning wealthy.
There is no such thing as 'correct' spelling until the 20th century. Therefore no spelling of a name is a 'mistake'.

According to Mackenzie's Scots Gaelic dictionary the Gaelic for 'wealthy' is 'beairteaich' or 'saibhir'. According to my Irish Gaelic dictionary it is 'saibhir'. However the Scots Gaelic dictionary also lists 'maoin' as a 'hoard', or 'wealth worshipped'.

www.whatsinaname.net does not mention Menie or Mennie. 

Quote

I disagree. From the many variations in the lady's name in later records, it is plain enough that Menie is only one version of her name.

Quote
That is, of course, Mennie is not a spelling mistake from way back when.
See above. There is no such thing as a 'mistake' at that time.

Quote
I have only found one Mennie Fletcher on Scotlands People born 01/11/1802 to an Angus Fletcher & Margaret Baxter.
Do not make the classic error of assuming that the only one in the records is the right one. The further back you go, the more events are missing from the surviving records.

Bronwen has seen the death certificate which names the parents of her Menie/Mennie/Meady/Minnie/Mary/Marjory as Ebenezer Fletcher and Elizabeth Erskine. The census consistently says that she was born in Edinburgh/Midlothian.

Therefore she is not the one born in Kilmodan to Angus Fletcher and Margaret Baxter, and it serves no useful purpose to go on dragging that one into the discussions.

Post by: BronwenS on Wednesday 15 August 18 22:09 BST (UK)
Hi

I have re-looked at what I have and thought it best to post it here for clarification - as you can see Mennie Fletcher had many names at different times - these are all documents I have sited.

I have also attached the 1871 census which says she came from Edinburgh.

many thanks for all your help.

Hi Mike

I don't think some of what you have added to the tree is correct.  I have the following around the Summers family and I ahve registers for some of these people.  I suppose how you determine who is the right John Summers (born 1832) for his birth is an issue?

My results come from Scotland's People.  Have you seen registers for the ones you have put in?

Bronwen,
These are the correct ones, I have now seen them on Scotlands People and have updated the tree. Getting slightly mixed up with all the Brocks/Summers/Sommers and other information from elsewhere. Still stuck on the Margory Fletcher who married Robert Wright first on 07 Jul 1822, (date from Scotlands People) before marrying James Brock. Still searching when in my spare time.
Regards
Mike
