Fife / Isabella Lindsay born Pottie
« on: Thursday 28 May 20 15:33 BST (UK) »
In the 1851 Census, Isabella Lindsay is 64 and receiving Necewing(?) Parish Relief, in Pitlessie, Cults, Fife. She was born Isabella Pottie in Carnock on August 26 1785, had married Andrew Lindsay in Edinburgh on April 18 1814. She had 5 children with Andrew, and ends up back in Cults as a poor old lady. Her husband Andrew has disappeared from the scene. He was a Blacksmith. At least 3 of her children migrate to South Australia in 1865 and she makes the voyage with her son Andrew and his family.She died in 1866. I am keen to find any records pertaining to her experience in receiving Poor Relief and would love to find out what happened to Andrew.
Thanks in anticipation.
