My g/grandmother was Betsy Allardice, born 12 Dec 1848 in Kirriemuir. Her parents were Robert Allardice and Helen Barrie. Does anyone have any further info on this family please?
I have no idea when or where Robert or Helen were born. I have 10 children for Robert and Helen, but the first three children, including Betsy, had the mothers name as Helen (or Ellen) Barret not Barrie. I would love to have more info on this family.
On the 1881 census there is a
Robert Allardice age 64 b.Kirriemuir
his wife Helen age 52 b. Larbert Stirling,
son James age 19 Kirriemuir,
daur Jessie age 12 Kirriemuir.
The two children certainly fit in with the ages of 'my' Robert and Helens children. I have tried to find a Helen Barret or Barrie born in Larbert, but no joy.
Of course, this may not be the right family in 1881.
The following are the 10 children I have for them
Betsy Allardice 12 Dec 1848
John Allardice 27 Mar 1851
George Allardice 20 May 1854
Duncan Milne Allardice 10 Nov 1856
Robert Allardice 8 Jul 1859
James Allardice 25 Jan 1862
Charles Allardice 3 Mar 1865
Isabella Allardice 25 Sep 1866
Jessie Mill Allardice 17 Feb 1869
Hellen Allardice 6 Nov 1873 d. 11 Aug 1874
I'm hoping someone can add something to this as these parents have been hiding long enough! Thanks ...Sheila
