Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Hull and Sculcoates
« on: Tuesday 20 February 24 12:43 GMT (UK)  »
I'm trying to trace my family who moved to Sculcoates between 1881 - 1885. In 1881 they were still living at Inveresk & Musselburgh, Midlothian (now East Lothian) in Scotland. In 1885 my 2nd Great Grand Uncle James Ness Wilson married Fanny Campbell in Sculcoates. Both had lived in Inveresk in 1881. James & his Robert brought their widowed mother Janet Wilson née Ness to South Shields, Durham where she died 1893.
James & Fanny died within a couple of months in 1934 at Sculcoates but I don't know which cemetery if anyone can help.

I am not convinced Fanny or Frances/Francis was her first name because there were no birth in Scotland in the year or place she's given on various records. I am sure her birth name was Ann. Her father is named as Moses Campbell on her marriage record. But I don't know how to open/source their marriage record. I managed to get her death record from the GRO but can't work out how to do the same for the marriage.

Currently I'm researching my Family on my Paternal Grandfathers side. I've some information on names and years as follows ...
John Scott Fell (1847 Lanark) married (1870 Biggar) Jemima Murray (1845 Peebles Burgh)
they lived in Ashkirk, Kirkhope & Yarrow where their 6 children were born. Agnes Dickson Fell, Marion Bell Fell, William Murray Fell, John Fell, Alexander Fell, Jemima Murray Fell.
Sadly Marion died aged 18, & Jemima aged 7, I only know they are buried in Selkirkshire, but would like to locate them if possible!
I'm happy to share all my research, of which I am looking not only at the Family connections, but their residence, employment and any other interesting facts

Peeblesshire / Fell's of Lanarkshire some born Peeble's

Currently I'm researching my Family on my Maternal Grandfathers family. I've some information on names and years as follows ...
Fell - James Ramage Fell was born in Peeblesshire, his parents William Fell & Jane Ramage. William's sister had illegitimate twins born in Lanark, John Hamilton Fell & Jane Hamilton Fell who I believe she lived in Peeblesshire for a short time. I suspect both twins may have been adopted or died in infancy in Peeblesshire.

Robert had 4-5 children from 2 marriages

Elizabeth had 4 children from her marriage to James Fell, and before marriage a son out of wedlock, I think is called James Dewar, born between 1930-33 ish.
