Fife / Bayne family missing from 1861 Census!!

« on: Monday 10 March 08 21:48 GMT (UK) »

I found some details about Robert Bayne (born - 04/05/1826) his wife Christina Patrick (born - 1828) and their 6 children on a web site (Ancestry.co.uk) that shows them staying at Breckmont Cotton in the Registration District of Leuchars, Fife at the time of the 1861 census.

I've accessed the Scotlandspeople site tonight to get a copy of the offical census for the family but have been unable to trace an entry under Robert or any other member of the family.

Has anyone ever come across this problem before?

Fife / Andrew Smith's children

« on: Sunday 10 February 08 21:15 GMT (UK) »

My GG grandfather, Andrew Smith, had 20 children. I've been able to trace details for 16 of them but have been unable to find dates of death for the following -

John Smith. Born 27/09/1861 in Cupar, Fife.
The latest details I have been able to find for him is a 1871 census entry in Cupar,Fife.

Agnes Smith. Born 28/11/1862 in Cupar, Fife.
Latest infromation held is a 1881 census entry in Kirkcaldy, Fife

Alexander Smith. Born 19/03/1972 in Cupar Fife.
Latest information held is a 1902 birth cert for his son Andrew, who was born in Creich.

I've tried to find the details on line (e.g on Scotlands People site) and at The Edinburgh Records Office.

Does any one out there know what happened to them?

Fife / Alexander Roderick McKenzie

« on: Saturday 03 February 07 22:00 GMT (UK) »

I know that the above named was born in Crail on 21/04/1883 to Alexander McKenzie and Margaret Ritchie. He was Christened on 18/05/1833 but does not appear in the 1841 census return with the rest of the family.

I've checked the Sexton books for Crail and the LDS web site but have been unable to find any further trace of Alexander.

Can anyone give my any idea as to where I could try next.

Fife / Georgina Smith

« on: Wednesday 11 October 06 08:36 BST (UK) »

Hope someone can help me find a missing Smith from our family tree.
Georgina was one of 17 children born to Andrew Smith and Agnes Kirk. She was born 10/05/1882 at Prestonhall Cupar and the last record we have of her is in the 1901 census when she is working as a servant for a family in the parish of Auchtermuchty.
I have tried to find her using scotlandspeople and at Edinburgh records. Have even tried under the name Ina and Gina but have not been lucky.
Does anyone out there know what happened to her. Did she get married?

Angus (Forfarshire) / THOMAS SMITH

« on: Saturday 04 February 06 21:43 GMT (UK) »

Does anyone know anything about Thomas Smith born / christened 11/10/1795 at Mains and Strathmartine, Angus?
I know that his parents were Andrew Smith and Elizabeth Duncan, but that is all I know about him.
I am looking for my 3xgreat grandfather and think this could be him.
Does anyone know when or there the above named Thomas died OR know anything about his parents?
