Gadget,

Only one child that I have found, Robert born 1800 in Mouswald.  John's parents were Richard and Elspeth.  Robert in turn married Janet Irving and they had Janet, John, Isabella, Catherine & Thomas.  Anyone have a copy of the Mouswald MIs?

Hi Gadget.

The 1841 census of Mouswald, shows Isabella as 67 in Mouswald Village itself with John.  The 1851 shows her aged 74 and born in Wamphray, DMS.  Thats the last I see her, John died in 1856 a widower, so she must have died bet. 1851 and 1856.  Haven't found their MI either.

Cheers

Mick

Sorry to elbow in here and interrupt your thread,

Talking of Gibsons, I have a Isabella Gibson who was married to John Dickson (1776-1856), a blacksmith, probably 1799 or1800.  They had a son Robert b 1800 in Mouswald. One of the census put Isabella as coming from Wamphrey.  I have not been able to find a birth or marriage record for her.  Has anyone come across her before?  John Dickson was a brother of my 3G Grandfather, Thomas Dickson (1790-1869) of Woodside.

Cheers
Dicko

Hi csc,

Glad you have been able to narrow things down to David and Susannah, sorry I haven't been answering your other questions as I have not had time really. Mmmm kirkbean?  one of my Dickson lines lived there as well but in the late 19th C at Gillhead.  Some of their names are on the Kirkbean War Memorials for dying and surviving WWI.

As to Mouswald Mill, no idea but have had Griersons living there in the 19th C... Richard Grierson and Janet Dickson and family.

I also have connections to Torthorwald as well, maybe one day we will discover that our Dicksons are connected as well.

Hi Maggie,

As to your Jonah confusion, I have Jonah b 1787 marrying Janet Dickson, son of Jonah N and Ann Carruthers.  Jonah born 1795 married Margaret Dickson. Jonah 1795 was son of John N and Mary Ann Smith. Both Jonah (1787 & 1795) were grandsons pf Benjamin N and Janet Friend.  I have these Nicholsons in my tree due to some distant connection and as I tend to add whole families in of spousal lines I went over board plus the two Dicksons sparked my interest. One connection is Ann N dau of Jonah & Janet married James Grierson son of William G and Jean Charteris whose other son Richard married  Janet Dickson elder sister of my 2G Grandfather Jacob Dickson. See how far I go.

I hadn't a spouse for Christopher 1781, so now I have, thanks, any other info on that line would be good as I have connections to the Jardines as well, pm me if you like

Cheers
Mick

Hi csc,

As to Jacob D and the Blackstocks, maybe sisters? I only have their marriage dates and a son Joseph for Jacob and Janet.  Haven't gone into them yet as I haven't a father for Jacob. Was the sons name Francis Henderson Blackstock Dickson? I haven't seen many with two middle names in here or was it not a Dickson.

The only Dickson Henderson marriage I've seen was a William D and Agnes H in 1855,  Torthorwald, they had a Jane, William and a Robert as far as I know all born in Torthorwald.  Agnes was, I believe, the dau. of Robert Henderson farm servant of Torthorwald Village. Willam D may be a Land Measurer from Mouswald Village as there is only one William D in both parishes in 1851, however he was 38 in 1851 while Agnes was 15 in 1851. So I may have the wrong William altogether.

Hi csc,

I haven't got the connection between David D and Rev. Jacob as yet . However looking at my spreadsheet, I believe David's middle name was Jacob and he was born about 1732 dying at Glebe Park, Mouswald in 14 Nov 1815 and Rev. Jacob was born about 1736 and dying in 1824.  Susannah/Susan born about 1733 died 9 Jul 1809.  Jacob's father was Abraham and both David and Jacob have sons 5th & 4th respectively named Abraham. Both also have a Janet and a James.  Rev. Jacob's mother was Janet Smith and she married Abraham in Torthorwald in Oct 1733.

I don't have any other info on David's Mary b 29 Aug 1774, sorry. I do have some ideas on some of her brother's marriages though. Jacob married a Jean Bell, Abraham to Sarah Boys (Boyes or Boyce), Oswald possibly married Jean Grahame and also Mary Dinwoodie.  Her sister Janet possibly to James Richardson but again not confirmed, its possible that Jacob's Janet married him instead.

Mick
