Scotland / Re: Gordon Arthur 1799 - 1845 Peterhead, Aberdeenshire
« on: Sunday 15 March 15 19:39 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you JM Strachan.

I am looking at the 1841 Census on FreeCen, and it has M next to the two Gordons, so there's been a transcription error.

Living at the house next door to Gordon ROBERTSON (nee Arthur) in Marischel St are Andrew (the tailor) and Margaret "ARTHER" along with their son, Andrew, a druggist/surgeon and their grandson Alexander McKINNON (who has a younger brother called Gordon, but he wasn't staying with the grandparents on census night), plus a couple of sailors and a journeyman and a servant.

In the 1851 census it appears that William Robertson has remarried to Elspet.  He is 44 and she is 23.

We have an Andrew ARTHUR, tailor in Peterhead in our tree in that era who had a daughter called Margaret who was born approx 1800 (based on the census).   I wonder whether this could be the same family?

It doesn't have absolutely all descendants on it, but this MacFarlane tree is good for showing how the numerous branches of Dalrymples are connected.  You can use the suggest link to contact the tree owner about any suggestions you have.

That's a good point, and I was careless in implying they were all from Catholic gentry, but undoubtedly a few were.

When I mentioned Sedgely Park it was just to point out the social connections that the families of some of the Sisters had due to their male relatives knowing each other.  It was just serendipity that I found a copy of the school roll and this census and then noticed there were some names common to both. 

Was this also a teaching order?   I'd be interested to know where the Sisters would have been educated themselves.  I wasn't aware of the Florence Nightingale connection - where could I learn more about this?

The sisters at St Edwards, Marylebone certainly did were from the "Who's Who" of Catholic gentry.    The residents at the time of the 1881 census are listed here:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/X3LF-CRS

There are Petres, Blounts, Cliffords, Testars and Mostyns.  Perhaps Elizabeth Dillon was related to the Irish Dillons?

Many of the sisters had family members who had attended Sedgley Park School and surnames which are on the Sedgley Park roll that also occur here include Testar, Coverdale, Blount and Dillon.
   
Some of the families had other connections - for example Henry Slaughter attended Sedgely Park.  One of his daughters married a Mostyn and another daughter married a Coverdale (Agnes on the census is his granddaughter).

The architect for the convent was Gilbert Blount.

Scotland / Isabel/Isobel/Isabella were popular names in the Hairstanes family
« on: Saturday 28 February 15 03:00 GMT (UK)  »
This is a family I have been looking at.  Isabel/Isobel/Isabella were popular names in the Hairstanes family.

The Isabel that was the relict of Rev John Mathison/Mathieson was born in about 1691 to Mathew Hairstanes of Craigs and Marie Douglas, daughter of James Douglas of Pinzearie and Jean Hepburn.  They married in Edinburgh on 28 April 1715.  On Familysearch I have found 10 children (all with various spellings of Hairstanes) born between 1717 and 1732.  There may be others.

Also in the Edinburgh register is the marriage of her niece, Isobel, to Ebenezer McCulloch, merchant of North Kirk parish, in 1774.  It says she is Mrs Isobel Hairstanes.  That would mean she had been married before wouldn't it?  Isobel's parents are William Hairstanes of Craigs and Mary Maxwell. 

Mary was apparently the sister of the father of the Dr William Maxwell who married Elizabeth Hairstanes (as I have read that he/she married his/her cousin german).  Elizabeth Hairstanes became Lady Alva by her second marriage.

This Valuation Roll might be relevant to the Brown/Hairstanes connection.
