Banffshire / Cumming,John and or George Imlach, Banffshire
« on: Thursday 16 May 13 02:30 BST (UK)  »
Hi. I am trying to find any information on a John Cumming, we think is the Father of George Imlach Cumming born Banff 1825. That is all the info we have. George Imlach Cumming was a Solidier and served in the 57th Regiment as a Sergeant Major in several wars, Crimea, India and finally as a Major in NewZealand Land Wars where he died.He married Catherine Belson (Ireland) in Malta in 1857 (died), then Married Emma Smith in Poona, Bombay India 1860, and was sent to NZ to the Land Wars.I have not been able to find anything on his birth, siblings(if any) or Parents. Any help would be much appreciated.

Roxburghshire / Daniel Stewart born Cavers Roxburgshire.
« on: Friday 19 April 13 22:16 BST (UK)  »
Hi, trying to find any information on Daniel Stewart. I have a copy of the 1851 census and says age 46 born Cavers Roxburgshire. Ploughman. Wife Agnus Stewart,  nee Middlemas, middlemist,Middlemost, born linton Selkirkshire.Cant seem to locate any more about either one as dont have birth dates.I have put the birth year at 1805 going by the 1851  yet the 1861 census puts it at 1813 and the 1841 at 1816.Conflicting dates for Agnes as well. It gets so confusing as i am new to this.Their Daughter Helen is my husbands GGG grandmother, and her son Jasper Stewart, who was raised by his grandmother, Agnes,( he is listed on the  1871 Census), emmigrated to NewZealand.
