The Common Room / Cause of Death - Infants
« on: Friday 09 April 10 20:14 BST (UK) »
Hi there,
I've been looking over some old research papers on the family and noted that a few of my ancestors family members had a number of illegitimate children. There seems to be a pattern of the babies dying in infancy - and the cause of death, more often that not, is 'fits' ........... can anyone tell me what might cause such a high ratio of fitting in one family?
I would be interested to hear all opinions on this subject.
Thanks,
Ana

Banffshire / Re: Ann(e) Lobban died Grange, Banffshire 1849

Hi there,
I am descended from James Lobban & Elizabeth Simpson. I think their daughter Ann married Alexander Morrison. I have come across a person on ancestry who is confident that this Ann actually married a McDonald and died in Aberdeen, and I am waiting to hear back on how they came by this info.
Ann Lobban's brothers certainly had close ties with Grange, having farmed at places such as Sillyearn, Crylet and Coldwells within the parish. They were all as you know born in Glass. Also sister Isabella had two children over in Grange - one of whom was fathered by an Alexander Morrison - perhaps the other Alexander referred to in some of the reply-posts you have had to your own posting.
Anyway, would love to discuss further.
Kindest regards,
Ana
