Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / Scarborough- Emslie, engraver
« on: Friday 15 January 21 19:34 GMT (UK)  »
John Emslie and Mary Simpson, both from the Aberdeen area, married in Scarborough in 1877. They remained in the town until 1911 at least, raising four children ...

John (b1855/6 Glasgow) is a journeyman metal Engraver, with suggestions of Artist and Sculptor in census entries. Yet he is described as a Worker, so presumably in employment.

My question is: where in Scarborough was there a business or workshop which could have employed John Emslie over such a long period, and what did they make?

My interest is that John Emslie may have been my granny's father, through a pre-marital relationship with an Annie Flett. Granny's birth certificate names John Emslie, engraver, as father.

Aberdeenshire / Turner Hall - Ellon
« on: Friday 15 January 21 11:22 GMT (UK)  »
My great-grandmother is listed in the 1881 census as cook at Turner Hall, Ellon parish, with
John White as Head, formerly of New Zealand. There are several young children.

I wonder if there is any archive material pertaining to Turner Hall, or the White family? I believe the house is now gone. In 1871 it was home to a huge family of Turners. I suspect that John White bought the Hall around 1879: the youngest of their three children  aged 5 months, was born there, but the middle one in Edinburgh (May 1879) and the oldest in New Zealand about 1877/8, the Whites having married in 1876 in Edinburgh. In 1891 they had moved to Turriff parish.

My ggm was born Ann(ie) Flett in 1849 in Orkney, claimed to marry John Emslie (an engraver) in 1875, and appears as Annie Elmslie (Married) in the 1881 Turner Hall list, though there is no John Elmslie  or Emslie around.

Dumfriesshire / Richardsons, Smiths Lochmaben
« on: Monday 27 September 10 17:46 BST (UK)  »
Hi, new to site. Two ggp from Dumfries-shire, with several Lochmaben strands.
GGGM Agnes Richardson, b 1810 d 1886, illeg son John by Alexander Smith, b c1840.
Agnes later (1849) married John Richardson of Gilmorecleugh, she died 1886, he 1889. Her parents John d 1858 and Margaret Lorimer. Her husband's Robert R and Jean Jardine.

Do any of the Lochmaben Richardson experts know if Agnes and husband John were related, and if so, how?

Agnes's father John, my GGGGF d 1858 was buried in Lochmaben churchyard, according to his DC. Is there a stone?

My GGGF Alex Smith also married in 1849. He died 1872 age 62, parents John Smith and  Janet Richardson. Can anyone link Janet into the Lochmaben Richardsonia?

In a another line, I have GGGM Agnes Jardine b Lochmaben 1787 to William Jardine (master joiner) and Janet Tweedie. Again any info welcome.
