Thank you, that confirms what I have discovered too. He was my great grandfather so any other information re siblings may be of interest.

Dumfriesshire / John Nelson 1837- Dornock
« on: Friday 24 December 10 15:02 GMT (UK) »
I am researching a John Nelson who was born in Dornock 1837-1838. I have found a Birth record for a John Nelson born 8th May 1837 Stapleton Toll-Gate Dornock Parrish, the son of John Nelson. This is the best match to the person I am researching. Neither of theses two John Nelson's match the 1841 or 1851 census for the Dumfries Annan area. John Nelson lived in Berkhamstead from 1861 to his death in 1907.

Carol,
Sarah Figg was my great grandmother. I have her year of birth as 1842, she died 20 Jan 1916 and is burred in Berkhamstead. She married John Nelson around 1867 and had 11 children. Maria was born in 1850 and Ellen in 1853; they appear in the 1861 census REF RG9/843 Page 8. I picked up from ricky1's post that there were two more children listed in the 1851 census; Mary born Marsworth 1839, and Robert born Tring 1846. There is also a Rebecca listed in the 1841 census giving a birth-date of 1831 if she is a daughter!
I have photos of Sarah and possibly two sisters but I cannot identify which ones; one appears older, one younger.
Alan,
thanks for the wedding date, I did not have that one.

Carol,
I have not pursued the Figg line until now. On Thursday I saw a drawing titled "Great Aunt Figg" indicating that Catherine's daughter Sarah had other sisters. As Catherine had a daughter Sarah and a son Robert, I would hazard a guess that Robert and Sarah were more likely to be her parents than Daniel and Ann. My information only indicated she was from Mentmore.
