Absolutely right! The nearest place probably well known is Stonehaven. I have all the parents details it is the listed children's families I don't know much about. Except for Jemima who married earlier than the others, I have been unable to gather the names of children for them as they married on the later side.

I was able to find names for the children of Christina and Georgina from their migrant list on findmypast.com. My mother in law thinks that Wiliamina had an illigitimate child but post 1907. She had told me as much as she can but her mother never spoke much about Scotland and the only sister she really kept in touch with was Georgina in New Zealand. In fact my mother in law didn't know about Martha!

As Scotlands People only gives definate information up to 1907 unless you are sure of names and years you are up the creek without a paddle!

John Allan 1853 - 1901 Salmon fisher Christina King 1851 - 1899 fish fileter died from blood poisoning after a fish bone entered her hand. So the girls lost their parents at a young age.

Christina's own father John King also died young 1824 -1855 her mother was Sarah Nicol 1826 - 1902 they were married 24/09/1875 at Finden Porthlethen.

I just hope that someone might recognise the names and have them in their tree.

Thanks Alésia

Thank you everyone who has replied. sorry I haven't responded before but I have been pretty poorly, but now I can restart my quest.

I wasn't reticent about a place just forgot to add it!

I knew grandad was born in Brighton at 5 Grove Street 21/8/1897 and when I knew his mother in the 1950s she was living a 1 Picton street Brighton, from where I believe grandad married.

William Edward John Weller was born 1875  and when he married Maria Harland 25/12/1895 he was living at 37 Dinapore Street Brighton

William George Weller bn 1845 in Telscombe was living at 23 Thomas Street when he married Harriett Stapleton in Brighton 25/12/1868

William Weller bn 1809 in Preston Sussex (I take in to be Preston Village Brighton?) married Rachel Patching from Telscombe 5/1/1845 at Telscombe Parish Church

From there back it has been hard and a lot has been searching records and I may be wrong but

William Weller bn 1780 in Sussex m Susannah Wood bn C1750 (she was a widow when she married William) married 15/9/1802 at Chailey

John Weller bn 1735 Barcombe married Ann Taylor bnC1735 at Barcombe 31/10/1762

Thank you for some of the tips they have been really useful and they are gradually adding people to my tree.

I have a few names I am looking for. On my maternal grandmother's side Wellman, Creswell, Knee and Allen.
On my maternal grandfather's side Weller, Harland, Field and Stapleton.

My biggest problem is my paternal grandfather's siblings. I was always told he came from a large family. His name was William Alfred Edward Weller bn 1897. His parents William Edward John Weller and Maria Jane Harland married 25/12/1895. On the 1901 census my grandfather is the only child. On findmypast.com I have managed to find three sisters Flora bn1913, Ida bn 1917 and Marjorie bn 1921 but in between I have hit a blank wall.

I live in France and my brother has offered to go to London to look at records but the lsit of Wellers born in the period is very long.

If anyone recognises any of the names I would be grateful for any help.

Thanks
