I was able to find the details of David Bruce's marriage on a free download:

Lanarkshire / Re: Colvin-Buttery descendants
« on: Friday 12 February 16 21:07 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks everybody, for all the information.

On Family Search I see that Alexander Warren BATTERY Marshall was born on 12 Jul 1849 and baptized at Shotts on 29th Jul 1849. Maybe the census-taker thought it was a surname. This suggests that Isobel is right. The children arrive at suspiciously even intervals every 2 years otherwise.

Alexander Buttery's vistor from England in 1871, the 19-year old Henry Fisher, has now made sense. I learnt a few minutes ago that Elizabeth Goldie Colvin, Mary's sister had been married, according to a 2003 request for information from a Ron FISHER in Australia, the Rev. James McNaught Fisher (son of a Dumfriesshire couple John Fisher, farmer in Rosebank and Loaningside and Janet McNaught).

Thanks a million for this information. Do you happen to know anything about their children? I am assuming that Alexander, Helen and Isabella were their children.

And meanwhile Mrs Buttery, née Colvin is keeping the home fires burning, with the help of some servants at home at Cardarroch.

I noticed the one-year old namesake, and I presume, son. I also discovered that Iron Master Buttery was staying in a hotel in Edinburgh at the time of the census at the same time as his brother-in-law, Iron Broker William Colvin (later of Craigielands), and as a banker, a broker, a solicitor and two American speculators. Doing deals, I guess.

Thanks.

On 4 June 1839, Mary Hope Johnstone Colvin (of Johnstone, Dumfriesshire) married Alexander Warren Buttery (of the Monkland Iron and Steel Company). Can anyone tell me anything about their descendants?

Unfortunately, I have no James born then. It's pretty clear that all the Beveridges are related, as they come from a very small corner of the world. This makes it all the more infuriating that it's so difficult to get past 1800!

Hallo,

There are so many Beveridges. Can you provide a date for James? I have 8 so far in my family-tree.
