Berwickshire / Help to be able to continue tracing grandparents
« on: Monday 27 September 21 18:15 BST (UK)  »
Evening everyone,

I’d appreciate any help as I’m really stuck and my mind has gone blank.
I’ve signed back up to pick up where I left off on my family tree.

Richard Pringle, b. 1777 Coldstream
d. 1864, is my 3 x Great Grandfather.
(He married Isabella Hay in 1822 in Ayton).

His parents are a James Pringle, (I don’t have a birth or death date or any locations for him), and Agnes Elmer/Elmour, b. 1744 Duns, Berwickshire.
On their marriage certificate in Coldingham in 1773 people are translating Agnes’ surname as Aleman but I believe it’s Elmer as I found a Richard Elmer and Agnes Dickson in Duns who had a daughter Agnes in 1744.

On Ancestry everyone is believing what other trees say and have a James born in 1756 in Earlston as Richards father, but I don’t think it’s that James as the parents married in 1764 and the mother listed was apparently born in 1741 😐

Any help or guidance would be appreciated as I am really stuck and I’d like to be able to trace my grandparent line.

Thank you in advance.

Julie.

Berwickshire / Help would be appreciated. Pringle family
« on: Saturday 13 October 18 18:36 BST (UK)  »

RICHARD PRINGLE was born in 1777 in Coldstream, Berwickshire, Scotland. He died on 24 Jun 1864 in Swinton, Berwickshire, Scotland (Y). He married Isabella Hay on 17 Nov 1822 in Ayton, Berwickshire, Scotland. She was born on 06 Sep 1795 in Coldingham, Berwickshire, Scotland. She died in 1868 in Swinton, Berwickshire, Scotland.

**Please note that Coldstream is listed but on the census it does also say Coldingham**

I have not researched any of Richards siblings yet as I am completely stumped as to who his parents are and I can't get any further.
A lot of previous researchers have a John Pringle (born 1770 Earlston) as his father and an Anne Crooks (born 1758) as his mother.
Their marriage is listed as 1786 in Gordon, Berwick, Scotland. The date of birth for Richard and the 'potential' parents marriage date is what is making me doubtful.
Richard would be my 3 x great grandfather and so far I know that going back from my Grandfather to Richard is correct.
Can someone please help discover who Richard's parents are??
And if it is John and Anne then something somewhere must be wrong but I can't see how.
There are other Pringle families around the same small areas but I have stayed on track.

Thanks in advance.

Julie.

The Common Room / Birth record but no death record?
« on: Friday 06 January 17 10:45 GMT (UK)  »
Wasn't quite sure where to put this topic.

I know that my mother had a child before me, unfortunately the child didn't go full term and was born deceased.

I can find the birth record but why can't I find a death record? I would have thought there would be one no matter what.

Do I need to search differently, I use ancestry, or am I searching for something that won't be there?

Cumberland / Can't find parent
« on: Thursday 28 April 16 13:34 BST (UK)  »
My 3rd Great Grandmother was Elizabeth Swinhow, she was born 1827 Wigton, Cumberland.
She married John Pickering (born 1822 Houghton Le Spring, Durham)

Elizabeth's father was Abraham Swinhow, he was born 1800, I have no other details for him, but there is no trace of Elizabeth's mother!

Can anyone help to find her?

Durham / Can't find parents
« on: Saturday 23 April 16 12:58 BST (UK)  »
Mary Fletcher Wood was born 1863 Bishop Auckland, Durham
She died 1936, not sure where
She married John Ritchey born 1863 Murton Colliery, Durham
He died 1921, not sure where either.

Mary's parents were
Samuel Wood born 1836 Sunderland and
Ann Forster born 1835, records say Morton; Grange, Durham?

I need to find Ann Forster's parents, I think her mother was Elizabeth, I have no maiden name but I think she was born 1794 and it says Levington, Northumberland?
I can't find Ann's father, (Elizabeth's Spouse) at all.

Could anyone help?

Julie.

Shropshire Lookup Requests / Need help with this mystery
« on: Sunday 17 April 16 13:45 BST (UK)  »
I've been weighing up information for days now but I'm still very unsure.

Robert Davies born 1773 The Rock, Saint Martin's, Shropshire had 2 sisters, that I know of, Ann born 1770 and Rebecca born 1775.

Now, their parents, I think, were Robert Davies and Mary.

This is where I am at a loss.

I have no date of birth for Robert and no date of birth or maiden name for Mary, but I have found a marriage in Saint Martin's in 1755 between a Robert Davies and a Mary Boodle. This would mean there was 15 years before the birth of their first child Ann.
I have searched marriages right up to 1770 and can't find any other Robert Davies marrying a Mary.
But.........I have also found a record for a Robert Davies of The Rock and Ann having a child named Mary in 1768!

I am completely confused. Even though I haven't got much to go on I'm sure Robert and Mary are the correct people.

Can anyone help solve this mystery?

Julie.

He married Sarah in 1792 St Martin's. Her maiden name was Davies!

I have no date of birth for her and don't even know if she was from the area or not.

Could somebody help me with the missing details?

Shropshire Lookup Requests / Help to check my results
« on: Thursday 14 April 16 19:57 BST (UK)  »
My GGGGF Joseph Davies was born 1796 St Martins Shropshire

He married a Sarah Knowles (b.1799 Cheshire)

They were married in 1821 at St Oswalds, Chester.

I think I have found Joseph's parents but want to check that I'm correct.

Can anyone check that I have this correct

Robert Davies born 1773, listed as The Rock, Shropshire? And
Sarah Davies.

As far as I know Davies was Sarah's maiden name too!
I don't have a date of birth or location for her though.

Thank you.
