On my wife's tree one of her ancestors had 14 children.
The twelfth was a girl and she was named Twelvetta

That is very kind of you.   I would really appreciate you having a look

Would you think and I know that this is a very speculative question that if a Henry Johnson shows up in those papers, that appears to be my direct ancestor that he would have been born in a village close by or perhaps even on the farm owned by Delaval family?

Berwickshire / Re: Andrew Aitken born Berwickshire

Hi Annie

Going through your questions has actually answered my problem.

The name John on the death certificate has to be wrong


His father had to be Thomas.   I checked the Canadian census records thoroughly and I agree it was likely a illegitimate birth as he left with his mothers family for Canada the year he was born and I would think the birth was never registered anywhere.  I am sure it is not the first one.

IN any case I can move on and thank you for asking the questions you did.

Thank you both for your replies.   
They are much appreciated.

Elizabeth Johnson interests me.    It is 12 years after Thomas Johnson birth, she puts the land up for rent  but perhaps she is  his fathers Henrys wife or relative and is renting out the land as he passed but that is me just speculating,

I will also look at the 1752 lease as  as Jomot indicated may shed light and I may see he leased it from a Henry Johnson.

It has opened the dead end a bit for me

Berwickshire / Andrew Aitken born Berwickshire
« on: Friday 08 June 18 00:00 BST (UK)  »
Greetings from Canada.    I am stalled and hoping someone here can give advice or perhaps information.

  Andrew Aitken  was born Aug 5, 1844 in Scotland and passed away Jun 30 1914 in Minto Manitoba Canada.  (No Birth cert found on line) It indicates on census Andrew came to Canada in 1845 with the Hoy family(1861 Canada Census)

It is stated on the death certificate that his parents were  John Aitken born  BERWICKSHIRE   and Isabell  Hoy and it appears they stayed in Scotland.
 
No record is found for John or Isabel in the Perth area of Ontario where Andrew and his family lived until they moved to Manitoba and I cannot find any record of John nor Isabel in Berwickshire .

I found a few trees with Isabel Hoy marrying a Thomas Aitken in Berwickshire in the correct time period and living in Ontario but it appears this is a seperate family due to the fathers name and there is no supporting documentation or any date for such a marriage.

An help on who the parents of Andrew Aitken were and when and where they married most appreciated.

Northumberland / JOHNSON Henry -- Avenue Head on the road to Seaton Delval.
« on: Thursday 07 June 18 23:50 BST (UK)  »
Greetings from Winnipeg Canada

When I had research done on my surname Johnson before computers, the researchers I retained all came to the following entry and stopped there.

Name Thomas Johnson Gender Male Christening Date 15 Jul 1753 Christening Date (Original) 15 JUL 1753 Christening Place EARSDON BY NORTH SHIELDS,NORTHUMBERLAND,ENGLAND Father's Name Henry Johnson of The Avenue Head- " a farm on the road from Seaton Delaval"
(No other children found)
They then both had reached the end of the money I had gave them but one suggested Henry could of been from Alnwick but it was speculative.

I went to LDS and Ancestry records and as Thomas was christened 1753 and as I did not know of any other children I looked from 1720 to 1735 for a christening for Henry
I got the following possible christenings for my Henry
1724 Bamburgh Father Ralph
1724 Bamburgh Father Ralph
1720 Alnwick Father Henry
1733 Ovingham Father Ralph

I found two possible marriage for Henry
1751 Allendale Mary Mulcaster
1747 Eglingham Ann Bell

I looked at  his sonThomas who married Jane Archbold and  they named their children Reay , Mary, Anne, John,
Jane, Thomas, Edward, Henry and Mable.

I think I am at a dead end due to the common name and also due to the fact I dont know if there are more possible Henry's.

Any advice appreciated and thank you for all the help

Jim
