Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Malcolm Livingstone b. 1843 Stirlingshire, Scotland
« on: Thursday 09 October 08 16:16 BST (UK) »
Hello people,
This is my first post here, it's a bit scary, but here goes!
I'm looking for a trace of Malcolm Livingstone's birth record. He was born in Stirlingshire, St Ninians in 1843.
I have a trace of him in the 1871 census where he was in Perthshire with his wife (Margaret McNicol sometimes spelled MacNicol depending on the docs) and his eldest son Peter, aged 1.
He appears again in the 1901 census, a widower with his children.
He married Margaret in 1869 in Comrie, Perthshire.
I cannot trace his birth at all, therefore have no way of further researching his parents. I know their names from the death cert (died 13/4/1916 in Carrington, Midlothian)
Parents' names: John Livingstone (b. Glenorchy?) and Janet Risk (b. Stirling?) It is unclear exactly when their marriage took place. (Banns 17/11/1838 Parish of Fintry, Stirling) It mentions that John was from Glenorchy.
Children:
Peter - b. 1870 in Comrie, Perthshire
John b. 1872 in Comrie, Perthshire
Janet b. 1875 in Dumbarton, Dumbartonshire
Dugald b. 1880 in Carrington, Edinburgh
Margaret b. 1883 in Carrington, Edinburgh
Can anyone here help a novice like me?
