Banffshire / Jean Storm 1780 - ?
« on: Sunday 04 March 18 19:07 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone out there help me to find a death date for my 3rd great grandmother Jean Storm.
She was baptised 14th March 1780 in Mortlach Banffshire parents John Storm & Elspet McMillan. She married James Bonnieman on 17th November 1807.
According to some family trees that I have seen she died 22nd February 1854 in Keith, Banffshire but I cannot find any proof of this fact & I don't fully trust other trees without proof.

London and Middlesex / william edward jury 1790 - 1830
« on: Monday 26 February 18 15:10 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find some information about W.E.Jury whose occupation was "Carman".
This I know from his son John Cramp Jury's baptism & Marriage records.
I have a copy of an admission to Freedom of the city of London as a Carman, the same as his father William Jury 1766 - 1845.
I am particularly interested in his occupation "Carman"

Thanks, I thought that might have been the case & presumably when the same household has a different address number it could have been that more houses had been built and they were renumbered.

Banffshire / Portessie

Does anyone know why addresses in Portessie are just a number eg. 51 Portessie or 64 Portessie on census forms. Also the same person sometimes appears to have moved house or has the numbering just changed.
I am looking at census forms from 1871 to 1911

Banffshire / George Fordyce Born abt. 1887
« on: Sunday 11 February 18 14:53 GMT (UK)  »
Hello.
My name is Alan Gray & I have just discovered that George Fordyce (born abt.1887) Rathven, Banffshire is my Paternal Grandfather.
I am slightly confused in the fact that according to the 1891 & 1901 Census records his mother is called Annie but according to the birth information I have his mother was called Margaret Geddes.
Also there is a marriage between John Fordyce & Ann Geddes at Seafield in 1871.
I also know that George was a Cooper & living in Portessie in 1916 - writ between Alexina Gray & George Forsyth regarding an illegitimate son born in 1912 (my father)
Can anyone possibly help me to clear up the naming of the mother please.

My wife is also a direct descendant from John (1762) & Samuel (1795) which as Big Ted says would be correct for Ann Parker being the mother of Samuel.
It would be interesting to know the details from the 1799 census.

I couldn't find Ann Parker in Heydon either but there was an Ann Wright who was baptised in 1772 & this I think is the one who is mentioned in the 1841 & 1851 census records, but did John marry twice as was earlier suspected.
