Harry,
My apologies for not replying.  Yes, I am descended from the WIGHTs you mentioned.  Elisabeth WIGHT married John Merton/Martin WALDIE and their daughter, Elizabeth married Wm GARDNER. Wm & Eliz's son, John, my ggrandfather, emigrated with his family, to Australia, in 1913. 

Thanks for the info about her siblings.  I haven't done a lot on the WIGHTs, as someone gave me their work on the line quite some years ago and it's quite a while since I worked on the WALDIE line.

Thanks Heather.  I have been researching for nearly 40 years and my Irish lines have not gone very far at all until this week. I think I sorted the HALLs out through one U.S. document I found online and now the HAMILTON line may have sprouted a little twig.

Heather, I just got out my HAMILTON research and I have the possibility of Wm HAMILTON who may have married Sarah ? being the father of:
- ??? with child John HAMILTON b 1850
- my Mary Jane HAMILTON b abt 1833 living in B'sheilmore when she marr. J T HALL in 1858 in Clare Pres Church, Tandragee
- Wm HAMILTON b abt 1835 - in 1901 he was in Ballysheil & unmarried
- James HAMILTON abt 1838 marr Sarah REDPATH 1901 they were in Ballysheilmore and were Presb.  My John Thomas HALL was a witness at the wedding  along with Thomas ALEXANDER, who was John Thomas' witness in 1858. 
-George abt 1841 marr Agnes
-? marr. Ann with a child Bella
As I said this was just trying to match up some of the names in the area.  Let me know your thoughts on these 6 being children of William HAMILTON.  I haven't looked at it for a long while.

My gggrandmother, Mary Jane HAMILTON came from Ballysheilmore, near Tandragee to Australia in 1863, with her husband J T HALL.  Their granddaughter  told me that 7 cousins of J T's came to NSW.  It wasn't said if they were HALLs or HAMILTONs.  My HALLs came from Corlust, a neighbouring townland of Ballysheilmore and close to Tandragee and Clare. There were HAMILTONS there also.  I haven't yet managed to connect all the HAMILTONs around that area.  Perhaps we have a connection to Robert Hamilton.  All I know for certain about Mary Jane is that her father was William HAMILTON.

Nairnshire / Re: Donald McKenzie & wife Eliz 1851 census Nairn
« on: Sunday 18 November 18 11:26 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks, Monica.  Just taking another look at this "brick wall".  The shipping register shows her parents  were Donald & Elizabeth.   I think they are the earliest record available, which has her parents named.

Yes, I have traced  Eliz Graham Taylor from 1841 census, through the 1851 census.  I have that in my notes.  The age for Graham is about right, as in other options that have been suggested by other descendants, but again, they are all possibilities.

Regarding the couple I found in Nairn, I wonder if a teacher was classed as a "Burgh officer"?

Regards
Judy

Nairnshire / Donald McKenzie & wife Eliz 1851 census Nairn
« on: Saturday 17 November 18 12:43 GMT (UK)  »
I am interested in hearing from anyone with information about Donald McKenzie aged 49 & born in Inverness, Invernessshire & a Chelsea pensioner/Burgh Officer who was living in Nairn-Royal Burgh; 4 McLean Court. His wife was Elizabeth and she was also 49 and was born in Nairn.  They were also in Nairn in the 1861 census.

Shipping records and BMD records of descendants record that the parents of my gggrandmother (Graham McBEAN nee McKenzie) were Donald & Elizabeth.  In one record her father's name was recorded as Miller McKenzie and he was a teacher.  I believe the Donald and Elizabeth in the 1851 & 1861 census records cited above, could be Graham's parents. 

Graham married Donald McBEAN and in 1851 they were in Hutchesontown, Gorbals. They emigrated to Australia in 1856. 

Thanks

Hi 
My GGGgrandfather's brother, Lancelot DOUGLAS, died in Lanton on 31 May 1860.  He was a widower and was 81 years old when he died.  He was formerly a tenant of Whitehouse Farm, Ancrum, according to 'The Southern Reporter' 7 June 1860, which reported his death.

Hello

We live in Lanton Jedburgh and the village is trying to set up a history group. We are looking for anyone that can help identify who lived where and if anyone has any relevant pictures relating to the village.

We have census records back to 1801 and quite a lot of information that needs putting together. Can anyone out there help with our village quest?

regards

Cornwall / Jacob FRANCIS
« on: Wednesday 04 January 12 11:00 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
I cannot find any further trace of Jacob FRANCIS (born 1837 in Lanivet to Isaac FRANCIS & Elizabeth ROACH) after the 1851 census.  By this time the family had moved to Padstow and Jacob was 13 and working as a cordwainer.  His older brother, Esau (my gggrandfather) and younger brother Isaac came (at different times) to Australia, but I haven't found Jacob here.  Can anyone help out? :)
