US Lookup Requests / Wisconsin Helper 1971
« on: Thursday 21 August 14 13:17 BST (UK)  »
Hello, I am wondering if anyone on this board has access to the full version of the Wisconsin Helper by van Brocklin? I understand it was a quarterly genealogy periodical. The lookup I'm after is in the volumes 5-7 published 1971. Snippet version only available on Google. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Peeblesshire / Kirk session records & illegitimate births
« on: Saturday 06 July 13 12:55 BST (UK)  »
Hi all

I have an ancestor who was born to two individuals in Peebles in 1797/98 (I haven't found a baptism). The parents were not married.  Around the same time, the father was conscripted into the militia and moved away from Peebles.   The mother then appears to have married another man (a widow).  Can anyone tell me if the Kirk Session Records would likely contain a record of or a reference to of the illegitimate pregnancy? 

thanks
Simon

thanks for that suggestion, Graham.

Sancti - the couple concerned are Robert SMITH and Alison HALL - married 30 Sep 1798 in Peebles Parish.  I think Robert may have been a widow.  Alison was a spinster but may have been pregnant or had a young child named to a man named LIDDELL.

Peeblesshire / Peebles Kirk Session Records?
« on: Wednesday 11 January 12 22:15 GMT (UK)  »
Hi.  Does anyone currently have access to the Peebles Kirk Session Records of the 1790s?   I need to take a look at these and thought I'd check here first before ordering them in.   Many thanks

Hi Graham.  Thanks for that.  No, there are no records of any baptisms of children to this couple in Peebles or any where else for that matter.   I think there was at least one non-conformist church in Peebles around that time: Peebles First Secession Presbyterian Church.

Peeblesshire / Help interpreting a 1798 marriage register entry
« on: Wednesday 11 January 12 06:28 GMT (UK)  »
Hi.  I found a marriage of interest in the familysearch.org index.  Subsequently downloaded an image of the marriage register from scotlandsPeople.  Then entry states that on 30 Sept 1798 Robert and Alison were proclaimed in order to marriage and were afterwards married by..." thereafter the entry is incomplete, unlike the other entries on the same page where the minister is named and the date the marriage took place is given.    Should I interpret this as the banns were called but the marriage never took place?  Or should I assume that the officiating minister or parish clerk forgot to complete the entry??  Any suggestions most appreciated.
Thanks
siroli
