Roxburghshire / William Trotter 1836-1910, Kelso
« on: Wednesday 21 November 12 03:24 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I'm looking for Infomation on William Trotter. Born about 1836, Ednam, Roxburghshire
I'm having trouble Confirming his birth and Marriage Information.
I have him on the 1861 Census living in Kelso with wife Margaret (M.S. Buchanan) and Son Thomas (brn 1858). In 1871, he is on the Census with wife Margaret and Children Thomas, William (brn 1866) and Mary (brn 1863) Searching on Family Search also revealed another son James (brn 1869)
I have also located him on the 1881 census in Kelso and 1891 Census in Edinburgh.
In 1900 Margaret dies in Kelso and he dies in Kelso in 1910.
On his death Cert his parents are listed as James Trotter and mother just as m.s. Douglas. Having searched on both Family Search and Scotlands people does not reveal any children named William to these parents or even a marriage for James Trotter & ? Douglas. He dies in the poorhouse.
Searching for a William Trotter born about 1836 in Ednam reveals a Christening record listing parents as Andrew Trotter and Jean Broomfield. This appears to be the only William born in this area at that time.
I would really appreciate some help on this.
Thanks
