Hi,

Does anyone have this couple in their tree? Not having much luck on SP.

According to daughter Jane Milne, dies 1877 age 89 (widow of John Smith, then James Shepherd)  her parents are these two. There is a Jane Milne born 1788 Fyvie to a John Milne on SP & I think it is her as she states Fyvie as her birth place on the censuses I can find of her. There appears to be two John Milne at Fyvie during this time as I find the births of 2 boy Milnes about five months apart.
Trying to sort out who is who & get back a little further.
I'm assuming John Milne & Jane Cowie would have been married around 1788, give or take a few years & born around 1765 give or take.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
Lisa

I may have just found death entries for this couple at Fyvie. Jane Cowie, or widow Milne, Horns Croft, age 84, dies 1840.
John Milne, at Banks,age 84, dies 1838.
If this is the correct people it puts their birth years to mid 1750's.

Only one entry for a marriage of a John Milne & Jean Cowie, 1775 Forfar.

Perhaps I should post in Angus/Forfarshire? or is there a way I can link this post to Angus without typing a new post?

Hi,

Is there a register for "born at sea" births for the period of 1820-1830? Have an ancestor who states he was born at sea on marriage register & then again on 1861 Scotland census,  born at sea off the coast of Ireland.

Have a great Aunt who was born in Scotland in 1895, emigrated to Canada in the 1920's, died in Scotland while visiting, not sure of year, dates late 1960's to mid 1970's sometime. Best way to go about finding her?

Thank you,
Lisa

Good morning,
I'm looking for this family, I have them on the 1850 census in New York City ward 11:

James W Booth age 43 born about 1807 England
Mary E Booth age 41 born about 1809 England
James Wm. Booth age 19 born about 1831 England
Charlotte W Booth age 15 born about 1835 NY
Joheda(?) Booth age 13 born about 1837 NY
Ellen J Booth age 11 born about 1839 NY
Daniel Booth age 8 born about 1842 NY

They are in the same household as Wm. Edward/s age 24 born about 1826 NY &
Ann E Edward/s age 24 born about 1826 England.....Ann could be a Booth, there is also a Susan Sawyer age 24 born about 1826 England living in the household

I am particularly interested in James Wm. Booth born 1831 England & his parents James W. & Mary E. Booth.

Thank you very much for your time & help.

Cordially,
Lisa

Hi,

I have the death notice I needed from the Dundee Courier, 1980. There is a mentioning of the wifes name. The wife could still be alive, although she would be a very elderly lady. Am I allowed to mention just her first name in my next post?
Thank you for your assistance.
Cordially,
Lisa
