Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Christian Innes
« on: Tuesday 01 December 20 19:47 GMT (UK)  »
High Rosinish
The top of the extract states that on the 12 May 1788 Christian Innes was born. The extract came from Uphall or Strathbrock.

This might help you further because the name Strathbrock has been mentioned.

Have any of you have the occasion to look at the birth of Alexander Innes born 1808 the father was who I call William ( younger ) Innes. According to the extract William ( younger ) Innes is mentioned as William ( junior ) Innes. 
Alexander Innes born 1808 was not a soldier.
Therefore I wonder who William ( senior ) Innes was as compared to William ( elder ) Innes.

I have her born  12 May 1788. Her father is shown to be Captain Innes and her mother simply as Mrs. Innes
I have reason to believe that Captain Innes is no other than William ( elder ) Innes.
I am attaching her birth extract and need your help in transcribing it.

Thank you in advance

Under Subject: Re:William ( younger ) Innes is incorrect, It now should be William ( elder ) Innes.
It appears that maybe, Item 3 and 4 may apply to William ( elder ) Innes because Alexander Innes son of William ( elder ) Innes was not an Officer with the 42nd but rather a Seargeant with the Gordon Highlanders.
Did you see the RTF Report that I got from the Gordon Highlanders?? Let me know 

Alexander Innes born 1808 and son of William ( younger ) Innes was not a Soldier.

William ( younger ) Innes did marry Margaret Innes on the 16 Aug.1806 and it states the following:
August 16, 1806
William Innes junior in Kearn and Margaret Grant.
I do not know when margaret Grant died but the IGI  shows only the birth of Alexander Innes born 10 Jan.1808.
The others that the IGI shows is that of a Penuel Innes which is your family not mine.

This now tells me that William Innes junior in Kearn is now known as William ( younger ) Innes therefore son of William ( elder ) Innes.
I will now show 3 more names who were children of William ( elder )

Alexander Innes born 10 Jan.1808 was the son of William ( younger ) Innes and his 1st wife Margaret Grant.
The witness to Alexander Innes birth 10 Jan.1808 was Alexander Innes, soldier.
Alexander Innes, soldier can therefore be only Alexander Innes, Chelsea Pensioner and son of William ( elder ) Innes and McDonald.
I am, also saying that,  William ( younger ) Innes and Alexander Innes son of William ( elder ) Innes were brothers.

I am not ready to reply about the marriage of William Innes and Janet Cameron. Perhaps later.
1) I consider this William as now being William ( younger ) Innes with his 2nd wife Janet Cameron.
2)  William ( younger ) Innes and Margaret Grant was Williams' 1st wife.
3) William and Margaret Grant had 1 child, namely Alexander Innes. It is assumed that Margaret Grant died. This is what we were discussing.
