Perthshire / John Scott Gay
« on: Monday 25 April 11 12:19 BST (UK)  »
Where did JSG go?   Born 8 May 1893 at West Feus, Stanley, Perthshire.
Fa:  James Paterson Gay, Mo:  Crawford Taylor.

1911 he is with his parents at Brougham St, Redgorton, Stanley.   I can find nothing on him after this.   I believe he may have been in the Merchant Navy

Silly me!   Thanks for that Carole.   It would appear that James and Elizabeth Chalmers (Uncle and Aunt of Barbara) adopted her as her marriage cert shows her as Chalmers formerly Tobit.   

The only Chalmers I can find marrying an E Dargo is in 1896 in Edinburgh.   However Elizabeth shows her mother as MS Smith and not Dowie.

Perthshire / Tobit of Stanley
« on: Thursday 07 April 11 14:27 BST (UK)  »
In my tree I have a brother of my grandmother who married a Jane or Jean Dargo in Cupar, Fife in 1902.   They had 2 children,  John Tobit born 1903 in Cupar and Barbara Dargo Tobit born 1905.   Jane died in 1905 13 days after the birth of her dau.   Fa then moved in with his Fa in Stanley, Perthshire where he is shown in the 1911 census.   I can find no trace of Barbara in either the census or her death.   Where is she?????

thanks very much for all your info.   I feel that I now have the correct family.   The IGI entry unfortunately gives a completely different set of families.   Perhaps because there are two Janes!!!

in 61 and 71 census they are in Manningford Bohune.   Jane died in 1872 and Jonas remarried - Elizabeth Mary Potter (nee Sutton).   In 81 and 91 they are in Manningford Village.   Jonas died in 1891 (Dec) and Elizabeth died in 1926 (96 yrs old)   No children that I can find for this second marriage.

There is a definite consistency in all of this although in the various censuses she gives her place of birth as Rushall (not far from Woodboro where her mo place of birth is given as)

thanks for all above.   Do you know if Jane married a Jonas Bailey 15 Apr 1843??   They went on to have 12 children??

l also have Jane as dying 9 Aug 1872?  Jane is (if correct) a GGG Grandmother of my late wife.

Thanks Groom.   Have received the marriage cert of Jonas and Jane and their correct parents are:

Jonas - Jonas Bailey (Labourer)

Jane - George Sloper (Labourer)

so it looks like all the info I have from the IGI and others is wrong!!!

what a pity the MC of 1843 only gives the father with no mother recorded
