Has anyone come up with a reason why Lockhart Baillie is named in my Smith family bible?  In it he is recorded as being born 8 July 1797 rather than 1799.

I can find no family connections to him. 

There is also listed in the family bible a Jane Rutherford with no other information

Lodger,

I'm so sorry we didn't get back to you sooner, thanks so much for taking the photos.  It's really amazing to see them.

Hi Lodger,

Fantastic, looks like this is them, we have Thomas and Margaret's son William died 26th Aug 1891 aged 75 years. 

From your information that it's Margaret Smart (not Burnt as we had thought) we have now found her death cert - 4th March 1875 and also her parent's names John Smart and Agnes Watt.

Hi Lodger (and everyone else),

I've just discovered that my 5xgrand father Thomas Neilson was buried in Wellwynd Churchyard, he died 7th April 1857, any chance he has a head stone you've seen?

Thanks

Hi Brian, Alison & Debbie,

Think Brian's suggestion of sharing what we all have to try to resolve this would be the best idea.

Hi Everyone,

We've been checking Sir Andrew and Lady Helen's wills, we can't see that there are any bequests to Andrew Halliday Carmichael, everything is left to Lady Helen, Sir Andrew's sisters and sisters-in law and any of their lawful children if they hadn't survived.

We assume it is our Lachlan Carmichael who is executor on Lady Helen's will as he is listed as a chemist working at 13 Calton St, on the 1861 census we have him at 9 Calton St.  It would appear that he was appointed by the courts as the executor as he's listed as Executor dative qua nearest in kin.  This evidence together with the names Halliday and Porteous would strongly suggest that there is a link between the families of Sir Andrew Halliday and James Carmichael and Margaret Shaw however we have still not been able to crack this one.

Thanks Brian, you've pretty much confirmed what we thought in relation to Sarah & Anne.

We'd just found yesterday that James Henderson Brown Carmichael was married to Annie Frost and I was wondering how much else you'd found about the Carmichael's from that generation and further down.  We've got quite a bit on one branch of the family, i.e Lillias Carmichael but not a great deal on others and wondered what you had?

Happy to share what we know or to help fill in any gaps.

Lindsay
