I am looking for information on a Hellen or Ellen born in Mosside in1798 ( I believe). Ellen married Robert Hume and moved to Kirkcudbright at some point. I haven't found much on her family yet but would love to know more!

Census and Resource Discussion / Re: False Information On Ancestry

Ok, I admit to having mistakes on the Ancestry tree. Especially when I first started. I had no idea what I was doing and got VERY carried away. I have since chopped entire branches off and started again.
It can be a confusing site also. It isn't always possible to check information when looking at a link. I try to keep an updated copy of the tree printed out right now but it can still get very frustrating!
I, personally, would LOVE it if someone posted a comment to let me know I had the wrong info! :)

Abe or Jess. It was really hard for me to see the Jess at first but I can kind of see it now.

This is what I see. Under 1842 it says 4 1/2 hrs. (after looking again maybe it does say 4 1/2 pm)
Williams formerly Berdon.
If you compare the d in edward it is very similar to rd in berdon.
Hard to tell but that is what I see :)

;D
You just solved one of my mysteries. We knew Nellie went to live with her grandmother between 6 mos-1 yr old after her father died and her mother went elsewhere to work. We knew her mother later remarried an Andrew but we couldn't figure out why everyone called Nellies grandmother "Grama Murray"!

Fantastic.

 I'm starting to think Agnes wasn't married to Nellies father, scandalous. ha ha

You may never know how much this little piece of info means to my family but believe me it means alot. My great uncle (nellies son) is thrilled to see things that remind him of his childhood and I have a feeling my trip is going to be even better for the info.

 :D Again, Thank you!
I have searched Ancestry and didn't find a third of what you have. I'm excited to go home and put all of this in tonight and see what I can find with this new info. I hope I become better the more I search.   

Gadget - you are amazing!

First of all, thank you.

Andrew      B: 1865
Grace Law  B: 1866

My biggest battle has been to find Helen "Nellie" Hume parents names. Her son Robert is still alive and has given me alot of information just not that :p I have worked my way backwards and tried going backwards from her first cousin.

I am not sure where she was born but I do know she ended up in Kirkcudbright when she was 12 and met Thomas Pearson there. I believe they were married there but I am not positive. Also Thomas was from Kirkcudbright, at least that is what  he put on all the forms I have found.

I do have both a Halliday and Hyslop on my tree just not sure if they are correct.

I don't know if it helps but I have a tree on Ancestry.com that I named Carlson Family tree but I'm not sure how to link it here, it is under bethsdragon user name.

Again Thanks! I have no idea what powers you draw from but they seem to be pretty great. :)

Kirkcudbrightshire / Hume family 1800's?? **Completed**
« on: Tuesday 31 March 09 02:55 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for information about the Hume family from scotland.
I know of Andrew Hume 1st marriage to Grace Law and second marriange to Alice Mary. He was born in Kurkcudbright and later moved to upstate NY.
His parents were John & Ellen Hume.

Our family ties in with Helen (Nellie) Hume born 1883 who married Thomas Pearson in 1909. She was raised by her grandmother Murray (?) and went to work at the Glenross house as a maid when she was 12.
Helen was first cousin to John Law Hume (Violinest on Titanic). I'm not sure which side it was on though. John L. Hume was Andrews son.

My mom and I are visiting Scotland in August and I'd love to know more history of our family when we get there!
Thanks for any help.
