Midlothian / Donald Macleod and his boys
« on: Friday 24 May 13 07:30 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find info. on this relie. who is proving to be very difficult to find.
He was born c.1876 in Clachtoll Assynt Sutherland to Hector macleod and Hughina Fraser.
He apparently "Went to Sea" (this is the family lore) and ended up married with the 3 boys in the photo attached. I have been told he was living in Edinburgh.
I have tried Scotland People for Death and marriage certs. but I just don't have any other info.
I treid the Merchant Navy and British Navy, but there are just too many Donald Macleods.
Hopefully someone will recognise these photos.

Ayrshire / Unknown Twins to Rodger Family in Irvine Dec 1890
« on: Monday 13 May 13 09:51 BST (UK)  »
I have just found 2 children born to my GGGRandfather and GGGrandma that I had no idea about......They were born Christmas Eve 1890 and registered on Jan 12 1891 in Irvine.....my problem is I cant' find them in the 1891 census (apr 5/6 1891) and I can't find them in Deaths on Scotlands People. I also looked in next census 1901.......all the other kids are there, in both 1891 & 1901.
There  names on Birth certs. are William Rodger and Isabella Blair Rodger.
If they died before the 1891 census shouldn't they still have Death Cert?
Any help appreciated,

Any info. on this family would be great, as I am related to Jane Stewart Rodger, she would have been my great aunt.

Australia / Matthew Gray CASKIE
« on: Tuesday 13 September 11 07:49 BST (UK)  »
 I have just found this chap married to one of my relies. and it looks like he was deported to Tas. for 10 yrs. He married Elizabeth Kirkland, in Stewarton in 1824, and it loooks like they had 2 sons named John, one born in 1831 born in England, the second John was born in 1837 in Stewarton.

Their father Matthew Gray Caskie  seems to have left the family before the 41 Census, as Elizabeth, his wife, (Occ. Sewer) is in Stewarton with the 2 boys, John Caskie, , born c.1831 in England and John Caskie, born 1837, is born in Stewarton

In the 51 Census, Elizabeth has reverted back to her maiden name, ( Occ.Embrioder & master sewer), and has only one child with her, John , Bonnet Knitter, born 1837 Stewarton.

  I have found A Matthew Gray Caskie, aboard "Mount Stuart Elphinstone"  Convict No: 12463. He was sentenced on 13 Feb 1843 and arrived in Tasmania  in 1845. He was apparently sentenced 10 yrs .I have also found his date of death,27 08 1866 (Tas)
ANY further info. would be great...Betty S
