How on earth did you find this article? I've tried searching Trove and came up with nothing. I guess it's inexperience. Thanks again for your help.

Hi Cando

I'm relatively new still to this (only 2 years searching), but it only says William Williams. How do you know it is William Blackman Williams?

I'm doing a course and they've taught me to verify everything. William Williams is a common name, hence why I've been struggling for a while trying to find info.

I do really appreciate your help as he's been a brick wall for sometime.

Kind regards
Karen

I have looked up this article, but cannot find his name in there.
Are you sure this is the correct article?
Thanks

Don,
Euphemia also married a Christopher Spence, so maybe the Census meant him when listing as a brother.
Either that or I totally have the wrong people and the Census doesn't belong to them at all.
Thanks for your input, it was helpful.
I'm going to look into which of the 3 Marys might be mine. I'm leaning towards the middle one.

Hi TSPENCE

Thanks for the info.
William Spence b. 31/5/1789 was my 3rd great grandfather. So if he's your ancestor too, then we are related.
I have added Mary Ann's birth and death info. This helps a lot, thanks.
I don't have any record of a Charles. Do you have a date of birth?

I got Christopher's connection from the 1871 Scotland Census where he was listed as a brother with Mary and William Spence. Have I got the wrong people?  :-\

Orkney / Mary Ann Guthrie ancestors

Mary Ann Guthrie married William Spence (b 31 May 1789 Holm & Paplay, Orkney - d 11 Jun 1825)
I have no details on her at all.
Was she possibly related to Jean/Jane Guthrie (b abt 1805 Shapinsay who married William's brother James Maxwell Spence (b 1803 Orkney Islands)? My information on Jean/Jane doesn't show a Mary Ann Guthrie, so I have no information on her at all.
Anything that anyone knows/finds would be greatfully appreciated.
