Hi Dave

This is an entry on the OPRs for Janet's birth (and death), actual extract on IGI. She is the only child showing, maybe down to the spelling variants of Rochhead?

JANET ROCHEAD     Birth: 1761   Kirkintilloch, Dunbarton, Scotland
Death:  30 JUN 1826      
Parents: Father: ANDREW ROCHEAD Mother: MARY SMELLIE    

Regards.

Monica

From a search on Scotlands People, one other child shows:

28/02/1751   ROUCHEAD   JOHN   ANDREW ROUCHEAD/MARY SMELLIE   M   Kirkintilloch   /DUNBARTON   498/ 0010 0412

I wonder if Andrew may have remarried? There are three other children showing between 1771-74 to an Andrew Roughead and Mary PA(U)RDON also in Kirkintilloch.

Regards.

This looks like the marriage, an actual extract on IGI for the (second perhaps?) marriage:

ANDREW ROCHEAD  Marriages: Spouse: MARY PURDON
Marriage:  26 SEP 1769  Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland

Can't easily see any marriage for Andrew with Mary Smellie (with *wildcards for spelling).

Regards.

Thanks for this.  I think I've come across the Rochead / Purdon marriage before but dismissed it because I was looking for Smellie.

In case it does turn out to be a second marriage for Andrew, below are the children showing to an Andrew and Mary Purdon:

27/02/1771   ROUGHEAD   ANDREW   ANDREW ROUGHEAD/MARY PARDON   M   Kirkintilloch   /DUNBARTON   498/ 0020 0076

15/09/1772   ROUGHEAD   MARGARET   ANDREW ROUGHEAD/MARY PARDON   F   Kirkintilloch   /DUNBARTON   498/ 0020 0084

06/03/1774   ROUGHEAD   GEORGE   ANDREW ROUGHEAD/MARY PURDON   M   Kirkintilloch   /DUNBARTON   498/ 0020 0096

Regards.

Any suggestions on how I would check if there was a 2nd marriage Monica?
Do you have an interest in the Rochead family yourself?

No, I don't have a connection to the Rochhead name. In respect of whether this other marriage could relate to the same Andrew, it's hard to say. Do you have an occupation for him? Maybe an occupation will show on the 1769 OPR marriage that may connect.


Not sure if they connect to your Rocheads but have you seen any of these posts on other forums:

I have, in a book, a couple of short MIs from Kirkintilloch Auld Aisle cemetery, which read:
Robert Rochead, eldest daughter Mary ?.8.1792, youngest daughter Clemy 1788 1
and next to it another,
Andrew Rochead of Duniblae, second son Robert at Condorat 18.2.1824 7 (2 or 9)

Any use to you?
