Cork / Re: Godson Families of Cork

What denomination was Nathanial?  Very difficult to trace records for the period of late 1700's as it is well before civil reg in Ireland

There is quiet a lot of info on this family going forward especially about his son John born in Cork.
Nathanials wife was Mary Anne Hill.
Let me know if you require any info on son John Godson. Regards

 Hello  Balldw

  I wondered if you can help point  me in the right direction to finding a document with Mary Ann Hills name on it linking her to Nathaneil Godson ??  I am having no luck here in Canada

Scotland / Re: Names on Tombstones but no Record ?

Hello, 
That is very true, I have read that .    I just was given a link from another Genealogist and it said Rathen was very cheap to bury relatives in those days and people would bring the dead from other parishes .
   On another note with john Bannermans birth  being much earlier , It makes me wonder if there were previous wives and children about ???           

                                                                               Take care  Melanie

Hello   
  Thank you so much , Those dates are so far off from where I have been looking for birth records too !!   
   I have been going over the National Archives of Scotland site  , a lot of new pages to look at .  Thank you again

Hello ,   
  I  will try the various name spellings in the records , I thought I could find a cause  for all three deaths being so close together , and the grave yard search does not specify if that was an exact death date or burial date  . If I add them to my tree could I use these dates ?

Scotland / Names on Tombstones but no Record ?

I have found a tombstone of John Bannerman  D 1823 and his wife Elizabeth Robb  D 1825 with their son James D 1825  but I can not find any record of their death , The Grave yard is in Rathen stone # 40 , If Scotlands People can't find it where else could I look ?

                                                                                              thank you  Melanie

Kincardineshire / Re: Alexander Forbes
« on: Thursday 05 February 15 00:24 GMT (UK)  »
    I have been searching for Forbes connections to my John Forbes  born 1853  Banchory Ternan , In the 1861 Census he is listed with  Ann Thow in Charleston Aboyne as her Grandson . There are a web of Forbes in and around Aboyne ,Birse and Banchory who I think might be related ,  Ann Thow is the widow to John Forbes Toll house keeper  who died between 1851 - 1859 , still can not find his death certificate , but his Grand son born in Kincardineshire  is either the child of his son John 1826 born in Birse or David born in Birse 1833 . I am trying to piece together who was living where.                    Melanie
