From the IGI, there is an extracted marriage for a John Caird and a Charlotte Avarane on 3rd December 1803 in the parish of Onchan.

This is my first posting on the IOM board and I know very little about the Island.

My next knowledge of her is in Edinburgh in 1841 when she and John Caird, a surgeon,  are living there. Charlotte was aged 55 in 1841 (65 in 1851) giving a calculated birth year of 1785/86.

Is anybody else related to Charlotte and/or John and perhaps could fill in the gap between 1803 and 1841, please?

This is a follow up to a topic I started on the Scotland board with the title
Dr. Caird - Surgeon.

May I ask for some advice and, if appropriate, a look-up please?

Dr Caird - I do not know his first name - was born up to 12 years either side of his sister who was born in 1765.  Is there a medical directory(ies) or lists of graduates which may give his name, please?  I believe he would have graduated in Scotland.  Presumably I'm looking for graduation between 1773 and 1797.

Is anything available on the net?

I live in Cheshire

I have been reading the Penman / Izate topic on the Perth board and because I am researching PENMAN too but starting in Stirlingshire I thought I'd start mine on this board 

Michael PENMAN married Mary BAUCHOP in Clackmannan but he was baptised in the parish of Airth, Stirlingshire on 27th May 1781.  His parents were Robert PENMAN and Jean MUIRHEAD.  On 27th January 1767 the Airth register baldly states that 'Robert Penman and Jean Muirhead were married'.

Using the IGI, their childrens names were:-
Janet, Agnes, Catharine, Ann, Elizabeth and two Michaels.   
All of them were submitted except the last - my - Michael (1781).  All including this Michael were baptised at Airth.  The first Michael was baptised in the yaer 1777 in Clackmannan.  I have not yet tried to confirm whether any'all of them are in the OPR.

Again using the IGI there appear to be six possible sets of parents for Robert - based on whether he was 15 or up to 38 years of age when he married Jean MUIRHEAD.   Some may be more or less likely because of where he (Robert) was married.   For example, one marriage was in Roxburghshire.  But still . . . . 

On the Perman/Izats topic already referred to I see a couple of those parents referred to as having a son Robert.  I must study those in more detail together with trying to find the children of the other four potential parents of Robert.

In the meanwhile any details or thoughts that may occur to those reading this posting will be very much appreciated.  If you can add anything regarding Mary BAUCHOP and Jean MUIRHEAD, that too would be helpful.

I may have something useful for Penmans who haven't got back as far as the above.  Michael PENMAN and Mary BAUCHOP had several children one of whom was William who married Janet SIM / SYME (Innverkeithing, Fife).

Their daughter married Charles HOGG at Bothkennar, Stirling in 1878.  They are buried at Plean.

When his daughter Janet was baptised at St. Paul's, Perth on 16th February 1827,  John SYME Vintner was described as the deceased husband of Janet MacFARLANE.  That seems to give a fairly limited period when he died.

John and Janet married at Logierait in 1805 and had at least eight children before Janet, the first in 1806.

Is this anybody else's family?

Is there a likely burial ground?  If so. have the MIs been published and able to be looked up or purchased, please?

The IGi has an extrscted entry from the Stamfordham Baptism register.
The name is Selby Robson baptised on 21st April 1754.

Could somebody check this particular entry plese?   Does it say where William, Selby's father. was from?   I would like it to say William Robson of Ingoe - but  of course it may not 

I am thinking of purchasing the NDFHS Index anyway but wondered whether it gave the full details of the entry(ies).
