I agree that tracing Murphy ancestors is one Murphy at a time but it is a challenge.
If anyone is tracing the John Abbott Murphy/Edward Walker Murphy line from Simcoe County (Midland, Ontario), I would love to collaborate.

Wow!
I have had trouble tracing my Murphy family as there are so many Murphy's.
My family is from the Midland/ Penetanguishene  area in Ontario, Canada, (Simcoe County).

My great grandfather was John Abbott Murphy-Engineer on big boats. b) 1874 Simcoe East.
He died 1914 on Dec 24 in an engine (boat) explosion in Simcoe, County , Ontario Canada at 40 yrs old  (no one in the family even knows where he is buried :(.
His parents -Edward Murphy 1845 and Mary Caroline Abbott-1852
John Abbott's- wife Maggie May Williams.
I believe Edward's parents were James Murphy and Hannah Walker and Mary's were Jane Rundell and John Abbott.
So many Murphy's, so little time. Any tips?

Aberdeenshire / Re: Adoption 1800's
« on: Monday 07 July 14 14:52 BST (UK)  »
Thank you.
Yes it is the birth certificate of Aberdeen District of Old Machar Parish. It says Alexander's Buildings, Union Glen, Aberdeen. Date of birth 1896, mother is listed (Fanny Margaret McWilliam) but no father.
She was informally adopted (census shows her at age 4 -Rosanna Duncan McWilliam born 1896 with  Martha and Andrew Clark, their 2 daughters-Mary Keith Clark and Christina Reid Clark, and another informally adopted boy-Harry P Mcdonald born 1895). Both Rose and Harry were registered in school under the Clark name. Later census only shows the two daughters and Rosanna. An earlier census (pre Rosanna) showed another boy-Robert R. Mutch b) 1889, I think from Kilmacolm Orphanage , Bridge of Weir.
I appreciate your suggestions and help.

It was suggested to me that Alexander's Buildings might be a poor house but I have found no evidence of that in my searchers.

Aberdeenshire / Re: Homes for Unmarried Mothers Aberdeen
« on: Monday 07 July 14 14:26 BST (UK)  »
Thank you. I have read some of the records on poorhouses and they were quite general with no records. I have read none on unwed mothers and where they may have gone. I may be looking in the wrong places. Thank you for your suggestions. I will check them out right away.

I am not sure what Quarriers are but will check. Thank you so much.
Has anyone heard of "Alexander's Buildings, Union Glen." That is the location of birth on the birth certificate but I can't seem to find any other reference to it.
Any ideas and suggestions are much appreciated.

Does anyone know of any homes for unwed mothers around 1896. Would Alexander's Building at Union Glen in Aberdeen have such a facility.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

Thank you for the information on Aliment under Scottish Laws.
Another question:
Is there some way to check orphanage records??
I was told to check Kilmacolm Orphanage, Bridge of Weir (only a possibility). It was listed as a place where Martha and Andrew Clark informally/temporarily took children they looked after eg Robert R Mutch b) 1889 and Harry P. Mcdonald (1895) born in Elgin, Moreyshire. (would they get paid for this?)
Harry and Rosanna are listed under the last name Clark in some school records, Robert disappears. My grandmother Rosanna Duncan McWilliam b) 1896 in Aberdeen first shows up in the 1901 census at 4 years old. She continues to live with the Clarks until they die-1905 and 1909. The census shows her at 14 living with the two Clark sister's living on Orchard Street.
I know who her mother was but not her father. I wonder if local orphanage records may have more information? Her birth certificate does not list a father.
Any help or suggestions you could give me would be appreciated.

Family Bibles / How can I find the Luker family bible?
« on: Sunday 06 July 14 18:28 BST (UK)  »
I would like to locate a "Luker" Family Bible. It went missing when there was an auction at my  grandmother's house in London, Ontario (in the 70's).
Where should I look for it? None of our relatives have it.
I would appreciate any suggestions you may have.
