Canada / Re: Researching James Calvert born 1803 in Dumfriesshire Scotland

Thank you Garstonite. Yes it is! So many family tree websites. I have joined and sent the family tree owner a message, although it appears that they may not know the history before he went to Canada. The Scottish naming convention is usually helpful and she may know the Maternal side of the family. :)

My thanks to you both. I have looked at a lot of the Calvert posts, so many originated from Yorkshire!

The father James appears to have been born c1751 and died at age 66 in 1817 so with having two wives this gap in the years could be feasible. :)

The Mother of Francis Calvert named on his Death Record from Scotlands People died in 1787, it appears that James would have been aged about 36 then. We are trying to put fact around this theory of the second wife for James.

I will have a look at the family tree, thank you Eileen.

Canada / Researching James Calvert born 1803 in Dumfriesshire Scotland

James Calvert emigrated from Scotland to Canada and married Marie, there are various spellings of her surname, Denshaw,Dunning, Dearing etc from Ireland while living in Canada.

Are there any Calvert historians that are part of this group?

My GGGrandfather was Francis Calvert and I believe that James may have been a half sibling of his.

Hello. James Pearson and Elizabeth Calvert emigrated to Canada with their daughter and son-in-law.

There is a memorial inscription for them in the Dalton Church Graveyard on the same headstone as their daughter Henriette.

Your post was 2006, you may already have this information.

I have many printouts from Scotlands People for their descendants.

Regards, June

Another question! She was buried at Hoddom Old Graveyard - was this St Kentigerns?  Hoddom New seems to be at the shell of the Hoddom Church.

Thank you all for taking the time to consider this couple.

I believe that it was Jemima Calvert born c1787. The Mothers maiden name on the death record was Hinnel,her place of birth was Pillethill (Pellethill near Hoddom), she had lived in Annan 18 years. Age at death 64. This information relies on the knowledge of the person reporting the death.

 My GG Grandfather Francis Calvert, Innkeeper at Dalton DF parents on his death record were Margaret Hennel who is buried in St Kentigerns Graveyard with two of her Calvert Children detailed on the headstone and James Calvert. His wife was Mary Hammond.

Mary Calvert nee Hammond was from Yorkshire, I believe it could be her that was the sister-in-law reporting the death, perhaps her Hennel/Hannel sounded like Hinnel? The Hennel/Hannel family were from Cowthat, Tundergarth area.

The 1851 Census has Jamsie (for Jemima - like Elizabeth and Betty?) Widow of a Hosier. Born at Hoddom.

I will ask for the Scotland People record to be rescanned. My thanks everyone for your time. Perhaps someone in the future will have the knowledge about the Annan records and the Jardine family tree :) Regards, June

Dumfriesshire / Alexander Jardine - Hosier/Sock salesman

I am looking for a date of death for Alexander Jardine in Annan, DF. He married Jemima (Jamesie) Calvert on 23 November 1829 (SP) and she was alone in the 1841 Census noted as a Widow. Would there be Death records for Annan during this period? Or perhaps a good Jardine Family Tree site? Nothing coming up on Scotlands People or Ancestry.  I calculate that Jemima would have been aged about 42 at the marriage date.  :)  Regards, June

It makes research interesting doesn’t it with all these alternative versions of names!

1841 Census has George Lettimer, wife Agnes, 5 young children and 4 workers at Scroggs Mill. 1851 Census the couple with 7 children, 1861 George aged 58 and Agnes and 6 children. 1871 the couple and 5 family members. 1881 son John Lattimer, Miller at Scroggs Cottage with his sister/housekeeper Mary Lattimer. 1891 John Lettimer aged 40, Miller at Scroggs Mill.

Other names at Scroggs Cottage vary over the years, Bell, Carlyle, Rogerson, Halliday. Interestingly the Cottages were detailed as being in the Tundergarth Parish area and the Mill in Dryfesdale.
