Stirlingshire / Re: Elisabeth Ewing, late 1700's in Balfron area

This is very strange.  I wonder if Alexander and Andrew are the same person (maybe Andrew was a middle name?) listed separately with the same birth date .  As James and Thomas both show the same birth date Aug 5, 1819.  I have the death cert from Peter Edmond in 1859, son of Thomas and Elisabeth Ewing.  (My 3x grt. grandfather)  It shows his father as James and mother as Elisabeth Ewing.  Now I wonder if his father was Thomas James Edmond and went by James.  Not sure how we could ever prove this.

Ev

Can you share the other people listed on the 1841 census with Alexander Edmond?  Also can anyone confirm Andrew Edmond, or is it possible his entry on ancestry is a mistake, or was he possibly twin to Alexander?

Yes - This is him.  He was married to Catherine Ross and Helen Spence, and was listed as a shoemaker on his death cert.

There is an index on Ancestry.com for both Andrew Edmond and Alexander Edmond DOB Jan 24, 1828 Associate Session Balfron parents Thomas Edmond and Elisabeth Ewen.  Alexander Edmond died on June 1, 1893 in Fintry.  Death certificate lists parents as Thomas Edmond and Elisabeth Ewing.

Thanks - I have also learned from a death certificate that Elizabeth and Thomas Edmond had a son, Alexander born in 1828 in Fintry.  He died in 1893 in Fintry. I believe he may have been a twin (also show Andrew born Jan 1828), but can find no additional info on Andrew

Looking for additional information on Elisabeth Ewing.  Elisabeth married Thomas Edmond in 1809 in Balfron.  I have confirmation of 2 children Jean in 1810 and Peter in 1813.  Looking for additional information about her.  When and where was she born?  Did she have additional children? Who were her parents?  Thanks for any help.

I know for a fact that Peter Edmond is my great grandfather.  His death certificate from 1908 shows that he was 50 when he died.  His marriage certificate from 1879 shows he was 24. It also states that his parents are Peter Edmond and Helen Davie.  So there is a question of his birth, between 1855 and 1858, however, based on these facts and that I have an aunt named Helen Davie Edmond, I know this is the correct person.

Here is all the info I have regarding this family which I am fairly certain is true:
Helen Davie married Peter Edmond on May 18, 1841 in Fintry.  They had 8 children:
Thomas - 1845
James - 1846
Agnes - 1847
Ellen - 1849
Elizabeth - 1851
Jane - 1855
William - 1856
Peter - 1858

There son Peter is my great great grandfather.

Info for Helen Davie:

The 1851 census states Born St. Ninians abt 1818.  Address - Hillhead - Balfron
Peter 35
Helen 33
Thomas 9
James 7
Agnes 5
Elizabeth 4
Helen 2

The 1861 Census states Born St. Ninian abt 1820.  Address 19 Buchanan St. Balfron
Helen 41
Peter 7
William 5

The 1871 census states Born abt 1826 Balfron.  Address Coopers Lean Campbell Land - Bonhill
Ellen 45
James 26
Agnes 24
Jane 18
Peter 16
William 14
Ellen McLeod 3 (This is the illegitimate daughter of Agnes)

The 1881 census states:  Born abt 1817 Fintry.  Address 25 Church St. Bonhill.  (This is home of son Thomas)
Thomas 37
Mrs. Peter Edmond 64
Peter 9 (son of Thomas)
Ellen McLeod 14 (grand daughter of Helen)

Helen died November of 1886.  Death certificate was signed by her son Thomas, and states her parents are John Davie and Mary Wright.  I can find no record of a marriage between John Davie and Mary Wright, and can find no record of birth for Helen.  Due to Scottish naming convention, and the fact that this family followed this naming convention I believe that there may be an error on her death certificate and these are not her parents.  It also states that she was 60 when she died which would make her birthdate around 1826.  This would mean she was only 15 when she married which is unlikely.  So I am trying to find out when Helen was actually born, and who her parents were.  Thanks for all the help.

Just checked the death certificates of Helen and Peter again.  Helen's showed she died on Nov 16, 1886    at 60 years of age.  Parents are listed as John Davie and Mary Wright.  DC is signed by her son Thomas.  Peter's death certificate shows he died on April 16, 1859.  Parents are listed as James Edmond and Elizabeth Ewing. (I show Elizabeth Ewing married to Thomas Edmond, and since Peter and Helen's first child was named Thomas, I assumed this was correct, however their second child was named James, so now I am very confused.  Either way, none of their children are named John or Mary, so I still believe the info for Helen may be incorrect.  I also show that when Peter and Helen were married in 1841, she was of the parish or Kirkintilloch, not sure if that helps in any way.
