Family History Beginners Board / Webster and Fortune families
« on: Thursday 13 September 12 19:27 BST (UK)  »
Never sure where to post- hope this is the right place.

Researching the following:

Helen Fortune (father John, mother unknown) married James Webster on 07 Jul 1738 in Errol, Perth.  I do not have the birthdate for James but Helen was baptized on 28 Dec 1712 and her father was named as John Fortune.

Though they were married in Errol, Perth, in 1754 when their daughter Isabel was born and the father was listed as being a workman in Auchmuir.

Children:
Isabel, John, Ann, James     Isabel married Thomas Kettle in Kilspendie, Perth.

I am trying to find more about this family, ancestors or descendants. 


Thank you in advance- Eileen

Seeking ancestors and descendants for the following:

John Calder b Ireland circa 1790

Wife unknown.

Children known:
William b circa 1806 and Robert b circa 1816.  Given the gap I assume there are others.  I  believe the children were born in Ireland also.

William Calder, b 1806, married Mary Johnston, also of Ireland I believe, and she lived circa 1811-1868.  They had two children that I know of:
John b 1835 born in either Ireland or Scotland
Sarah b 1838 born in Glasgow, Scotland

Sarah Calder married William Nibloe on 31 Dec 1860 in Girvan, Ayr (William's place of birth), and then lived in Glasgow, where the following children were born:
Sarah, Samuel, William and David.

Sarah Calder/Nibloe, daughter of William Calder and Mary Johnston, died April 17, 1768 at the age of 30.

Any help would be appreciated.

Lanarkshire / Robertson and McPherson families, Scotland
« on: Wednesday 15 August 12 17:46 BST (UK)  »
Am seeking descendants and ancestors of the following family:

William Robertson married Christina Mcpherson.  Their daughter Christina was born circa 1825.  Unfortunately I am very stuck with this line and have no idea where William and Christina were from.  I found their names on their daughter's death notice.

Christina Robertson married Andrew Watson and they had, (all born in Glasgow):

James Robertson Watson b 25 Jul 1854
Jane Robertson Watson b 13 Sep 1856
Andrew Robertson Watson b 02 Sep 1858
Christina Robertson Watson b 03 Aug 1860

Christina Robertson, spouse of Andrew Watson died 17 Aug 1860, shortly after the birth of her last child.

I don't believe Andrew remarried as the future censuses show him as a widower, and the only other adult in the dwelling being a housekeeper.

Can anyone help? Thanks!

Moderator Comment: I have moved this to Lanarkshire for now as this is where daughter Christina lived her life. We can move this later if appropriate :)

Fife / Duncan and Scott families, Fife

Seeking family of George Duncan and Janet Scott, Cupar, Fife

George (circa 1761 to 1851) Duncan married Janet Scott.  They had two children that I know of:  son George born 1784 and daughter Janet born 1797, but given the gap between their births I have to assume there were others.

Father George was a sawyer and the family lived in Springfield, Cupar.

Any help greatly appreciated.
