Scotland / Cant find a marriage record or license..
« on: Wednesday 08 August 07 05:00 BST (UK)  »
I can't find any official marriage record of the marriage of my ancestors named William Trotter and Caroline Dill. William is supposed to be from Scotland and is beleived to be a decendant of the Earl Of Gowry. Caroline is from England. They were beleived to be married on 1724 in Slinford, Sussex, England. And had their first child James Trotter Sr. in 1725.
Sometimes afterwards, they moved to Brunswick County, Virginia in the United States. Which is were their other two kids were born. The other children were named Phillip Trotter and Nancy Trotter. The only information I have of William & Caroline's marriage is family letters. But in order to make it legitite I need actual proof. A family member wrote and had a book published called Trotter Genealogy: The Tennessee, Virginia, Mississippi Trotter Line.1725-1948. By Mrs. I.P Trotter. The book has information on the marriage but it's only family records. The book also talks about our family from England and Scotland..
  If anyone knows anything or if you can help me find records or if you know of anyone then please reply back. It would be greatly appreciated...

I can't find William Trotter of Scotland's mother and father. Or his wife Caroline Dill's mother and father. He was born about 1699 or 1700 in Scotland. And his wife was born about 1703 in Slinford, Sussex, England. They married their in 1724 had a son named James Trotter Sr. their the next year and then moved to Brunswick County, Virginia( in the United States). Once in the U.S. they had 2 more kids named Phillip Trotter and Nancy Trotter.

Hello all, I'm needing as much help as possible. William Trotter is my 6th great grandfather. He migrated from Scotland to Brunswick County, Virginia. He married Caroline Dill on 1724 in Slinford, Sussex, England. That is also were they had their first child named James Trotter Sr. who was born on 1725. The family then moved to Brunswick County, Virginia, were their other two children were born, one was named Phillip Trotter, and the other Nancy Trotter. William Trotter's dad is believed to also be named William but his mother's name is unknown. Caroline Dill Trotter's parents are also unknown. If anyone has William or Caroline's parents or grandparents then please let me know. Anyone needing information on them or anyone willing to help me then PLEASE contact me.. ;D

abt.1724. because they had their first son the following year.The first son's name was James Trotter Sr. who was born 1725 in Slinford, Sussex, England. But most people say it was either England or Scotland. Since his father was born in Scotland and his mother in England. William and Caroline had 2 other kids after James named Phillip Trotter and Nancy Trotter. Please tell me anything you happen to know. ;D
