West Lothian (Linlithgowshire) / Re: Thomas Maisters in Bo'ness 1775

No, I cannot be sure he is the Bo'ness Thomas. I think the records I have are from the LDS, and it just says "BIRTH: A native of Scotland"

I haven't found him in 1841, though I have found his wife and daughter (Ann and Emma Masters) in Market Place, St Peter Port.
I think family legend is that he was a sailor, though.

OK thanks. I will carry on looking in England then. So my only Scottish ancestor would be Elizabeth Scott then.

Thanks again for your help. I have no knowledge of where this Thomas Maisters might have come from. Maybe not even from Scotland, but Maisters sounds Scottish.

Thanks for that. It also tells me that Thomas (senior) was a merchant. Is there anywhere I could find more about him?

Can anyone help me find some ancestors? Thomas Maisters (or Masters) and his wife Elizabeth nee Scott had a son Thomas born in Bo'ness on June 11 1775.
Thomas (junior) later settled in Guernsey where he died in 1848.
But I know nothing more about his parents, their marriage etc. He is my only known ancestor from Scotland.

Ayrshire / Re: R and Joan Bramwell about mid 1930's Maybe Largs

Yes, the marriage was to enable her to stay in the UK, she was Czech. Since William was already married, he paid his (alcoholic) older brother to marry her. I don't know her religion.

A little more information on a confusing situation. Although William married Elsie Stock, he clearly fell for Anna while on business in Europe, and arranged for her to come to Scotland and eventually marry his brother James. Anna then moved in with William, and he bought another house for his wife and children (the R and J Bramwell we were looking for). Later on, William and Anna moved the South coast of England, where they lived together until they died. Because Anna was married to his brother, she had the same surname, of course.
