Midlothian / Re: Christian Chalmers m William Finnie

Hi Forfarian

I do know who her parents and siblings were, I found all the documents on SP, I am looking for confirmation of her marriage and her death. I found a death for a Christian Chalmers or Finnie in 1851, and was trying to establish if she is mine.  ;D

I will see if I can check the 1841 Census again and see what it says.

Hello Monical

The reason I feel sure about the Toll Keeper is that 3 of his children have it listed as his occupation on their death certificates.
I have found all the births for the children but none of them mention his occupation.

Thank you Max D

Unfortunately I don't have access to the Pension Ledgers, but the information on the front card matches all the details and has given me a clue regarding his mother being a widow.

Thank you

Good Morning MonicaL

I downloaded the St Cuthberts marriage it did give a occupation of the father - a farm servant, trouble is, it stated daughter of the late Robert Chalmers. I am beginning to wonder if this my Christian as all the other information I have on Robert states he was a Toll Keeper and I believe I found him in the 1841 Census and have a possible death for him in 1851.

Thank you CaroleW

I was just wondering why he would have left 3 small children to go fight in a war, unless he didn't have a choice.

Hello Carole W

Yes that is her husband, their children (my Gran and her siblings) were left being looked after by his mother.
