England / Lived in scotland, born in England but where? Help!
« on: Wednesday 11 January 12 22:56 GMT (UK) »
Hello
I have traced my family back to Thomas Weatherson/Weatherson b1816 living in Coldstream. The scottish census entries for Thomas show that he was born in England. I can only find him in scotland from 1841 and he died there in 1886. He married in 1848 so just a few years before the start statutory registration which is frustrating as I could have possibly found out his parents names from there!
His wife died in 1854, he appears as a widower on all census' after that and I can't find him marrying again. His death certificate describes him as a widower of Isabella Robinson (supposed to be Robertson I think) again leading me to believe he didn't re marry and therefore preventing me from finding out his parents names!
As he was born in 1816, therefore pre 1837 registration in England am I right in thinking that it won't be easy to trace where in England he was born?
Have I reached a unbreakable brick wall?
Thanks
Anya
Does anyone have any idea how I might go about trying to find out
