Hi again

MS is standard shorthand for Maiden Surname, so Maiden Surname Schrier.

It's a very unusual name for Scotland at the time and you will note they were married in England.  I think it very likely this is the right person if the middle name was Mitchell.

Hi Kirsten
There is an 1861 Census but its not indexed yet.  It's due to be on the www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk site by the end of the summer when you should be able to find Samuel and his family.

Patricia

Hello Reedy

Sorry not Census information but I'm not sure if you have the following children's births, including the William you mentioned. They were all found on the International Genealogical Index (IGI) at www.familysearch.org.  

1. WILLIAM BEEBY - International Genealogical Index

I wasn't sure if you had the mother's maiden surname and William's birth is the only one that actually given it as McDonald.
These records were taken from Bishop's Transcripts.  

Their marriage was also on the index:

ROBERT BEEBY  
  Male      
Marriages:
  Spouse:  ELEANOR MC DONALD  
  Marriage:  04 MAR 1815   Saint Cuthbert, Carlisle, Cumberland, England


There is also a record of a Robert Beeby or Maxfield being born in Feb 1792 in Carlisle.  Perhaps his parents weren't married at this point.

ROBERT BEEBY OR MAXFIELD  
  Male    
  Christening:  05 FEB 1792   Saint Mary, Carlisle, Cumberland, England
Parents:
  Father:  JOHN BEEBY  
  Mother:  CATHARINE MAXFIELD  


The following was the record of the birth of Eleanor/Elioner McDonald;

   
ELIONER MC DONALD  
  Female    
  Christening:  02 FEB 1795   Stanwix, Cumberland, England
 Parents:
  Mother:  ELIONER MC DONALD  

Hope some of this is new to you.

Regards

Patricia


 
 
 




 
 

Hello Jim

The IGI (International Genealogical Index) at www.familysearch.org has the following three children listed as having been born to Alexander Sherriffs and Isabella McKinnon:

1. ISABELLA SHERRIFFS - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Birth: 28 AUG 1855 Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland
 
 2. ALEXANDER SHERRIFFS - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 28 AUG 1855 Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland
 
 3. EUPHEMIA SHERIFFS - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 05 SEP 1852 South Leith, Midlothian, Scotland
 
You will notice that the top two are twins.  They were born and registered in 1855.  This was the first year of official registration in Scotland and as such gave a good deal of information.  If you got one of these birth certificates from 1855 it would tell you what age the father was and where he was born.  The same for the mother.  It would also tell you how many children then had and whether male or female and whether living or dead.  It will also give you their marriage date and place.  This was the only year this information was given.  You could get this record at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk    This is a pay to view site where £6 will buy you 30 credits.


Good luck.

Patricia
