Peeblesshire / Re: Veitch & Bryce - possible Peeblesshire connection
« on: Tuesday 22 September 15 06:17 BST (UK)  »
Hi Gayndah - Good to hear from you.  My Veitches were a fair way back.  Unfortunately for me the records just don't exist that would enable me to tell you more about them and where they originated.  I know a little of the Erskines but only have mine from around 1820 back a couple of generations in Midlothian and East Lothian. Nice day here in Perth today. We were in Scotland a couple of years ago and did a bit of walking in the footsteps of the ancestors.  Very interesting. Such pretty places.  Too cold for me tho.  I come from Brisbane originally.  Are you a Queenslander too? Have been in Perth WA for about 30 years now.

All the best - Julie

Attempting to post the copy of death record of Margaret Bryce 1633.  As you can see the record is not in good condition.  Thanks for offering to have a look.

Thanks Skoosh.  Yes I know about the Bryce men who were hanged.  A great uncle was very embarrassed when, after hearing the story of the plaque and enquiring at the cafe now in the converted gaol, the waiter shouted out his request - about the Bryce murderers - in front of the diners.  My uncle left rather quickly. I have been in touch with a descendant of those men and I believe they came from around Balerno.

Dabinhand, thank you so much for contacting me.  It is disappointing to hear that there are records not on Scotlandspeople that could perhaps fill in the gaps on my Veitches and Bryces.  I have found many records that are pertinent to my other Scottish families there and believe they are the best site for ancestral records - certainly compared with others.  I will attempt to attach the record of Margaret Bryce d 1633.  I have already tried and failed so please bear with me.  Again, thanks for your interest.   

Think I will have to leave the attachment for tomorrow as am very tired now and not familiar with this site.   Julie

Jane, your information is very interesting.  I will look at it further tomorrow as it is late here.  I have been trying to link our Scots families.  Quite a number in Eddlestone but hard to link them positively - and also in Drumelzier and Stobo.  I believe it is possible we are related but can't prove.  Julie

We were in touch in 2010 through this website and privately.  I haven't found any further information on this family. It is possible that your James who married Janet Matheson was the brother of my John who married Janet Johnston in 1746 Eddleston.  Their children and grandchildren were all born in Peeblesshire around Eddleston and Drumelzier.  There are other connections to Temple.  However Scot was a very common name.  Perhaps we do have a connection but it is hard to confirm with the lack of records in the early to mid 1700s.  Thanks again for your contact.  Julie

Thank you so much for your reply Janeesca.  I have just found your message after having been away for some time.  Sounds to be some similarities between your Scots and mine.  It will take me a little time to find my notes and I will then get back to you.  JB

Lanarkshire / Re: Stark Family
« on: Saturday 27 October 12 06:17 BST (UK)  »
John Bryce, son of Thomas Bryce and Isabel Stark lived in Paisley.  He is listed in the 1911 census with wife Janet Bell.  He was a mason.

Has anyone found the parents of Thomas Bryce?  Trying to link him to my Bryce family who lived in Paisley and lived quite close to John Bryce.  Another family member actually bought the house belonging to John.

I'm really not familiar with this program.  I did send my email address but it has been blocked.  I'll look at sending a personal message tomorrow.  I've been in touch with Robyn who told me about your branch of the family.  My husband is descended from John Joshua and Sophia's son William.  J
