Midlothian / Elizabeth Shaw of Gilmerton
« on: Monday 08 April 19 08:15 BST (UK) »
Would anyone have access to the OPR's for Gilmerton for about 1814-5.
Elizabeth Shaw had an Illegitimate son David about 1815 and I wondered if there is anything in the records to indicate the father and what punishment she recieved.
David married Margaret Smith in Newton in 1832.
I'd really appreciate help
Thanks,
Marybeth44

Thanks Millipede, for your suggestion. I don't think she converted, I never heard it mentiond and the children were'nt brought up in the Jewish faith.
Thanks again for your time,

Hi Amondg,
Thanks for your lookup, unfortunatly that Mary married a Wickenden. I have checked the census and he was indeed married to a Mary, but it can't have been mine.
Soooo the mystery still remains
Thanks again for your time,

Kent / A marriage mystery, help please
« on: Saturday 02 June 18 05:53 BST (UK) »
Hi Everyone,
For sometime now I've been looking for the marriage of my Granparents Isaac Samuel/s b. 1850 in Whitechapel area and Mary Warn(various spellings) b. 1853 Northfleet, Kent.
Issac was Jewish and Mary was not. I can find no record of their marriage tho' I'm sure they would have been. The marriage was supposed to be in 1872.
Certainly they are on all the census from 1881on.
Can anyone solve this mystery please, because I'm stumped.
Thanks for your interest
Marybeth

Hi John,
Thanks for that, I was sure I had got her parents from a reputable source but I had a computer crash a couple of years ago and altho' most of my info is backed up, that must not have been.
Re Henrietta's age I had 1803 down but as you say it could have been earlier. It's interesting to note that between her sisters Catharine and Jannet there is 16 yrs, so maybe Catharine lost some babies.
I will pm you Jim McGregor's email address. I haven't been in touch with him for a while so I hope it's the same.
Thanks for all you help.
Hope to speak again,
Marybeth

Hi John,
Thank you for all that info, I'll really have to digest it and share it with Janet Brechin another descendant. Have you ever been in touch with Jim Mcgregor in Canada, he is descended from Robert my Duncan's son. (Duncan and Henny of Brig o Turk)
I have Henrietta Isabella Fergusson's father down as Peter Fergusson and Catharine Mcallum Now I can't find where I found that info and I can't find her with their family on the familysearch.org. I'm afraid I have to do my research on a shoe string!!!!. I found the record of her marriage to Duncan McGregor. in 1821.
I found too, I had typed her birth date down wrong it was abt 1803, which would make her 45 for Isabella's birth which is possible.
I think I'm becoming very confused, it happens when you get older
!!!!
Oh well thanks again, I'll have a good look at what you've sent and digest it.
Kind regards,
Marybeth
