PHIMISTER

[Tricia MORE]

Tricia on the death certificate I found for Alexandrina WARES, (d. 9.1.1873, Wick) her parents are given as James WARES and Ann BREMMER or BREMNER...no Isobel Gray.

This is too confusing.  

Bec

Bec can you give me her age at death, place  and the informant.  Did it give her husband's occupation?
I will try to find out about why I have Isobel Gray.

Not sure where I got some of these dates, etc, might have been from a Worldconnect database.  Otherewise it is from the likes of IGI, census, googling, etc.

Hi Tricia & Bec
Just to confirm, the death registration of George Phimister Innkeeper  - died 12/8/1859 in  Boathaven, Wick aged 66 yrs – does give his parents as “George Phimister Farmer Deceased” and “Christina Phimister Maiden Name Bremner (Deceased)”. It records him as married, but doesn’t mention his widow’s name. The registration of her death (Alexandrina Wares “Widow of George Phimister, Farmer”) - 14 years later, 9/1/1873, at Boathaven - definitely records her parents as "James Wares Farmer (deceased) Ann Wares M.S. Bremner (deceased)"

Hi Gillian
Do you mean
Rosanna PHIMISTER   b15 Jul 1852
Who did your Rose marry?
Tricia

[gillt]

My apologies, I should have used maiden name.

Rose Farquhar c.1783, is my ancestor in a direct female line. She was married to John Phemister. I am aware of one child, Christina Phemister (1817) who married James Levack.

Out of interest, I have a person in my family tree I think may have originated in Orkney.......and her surname has been reported in various OPR and Scotland's people certificates as Fubister, Foubister, Whimster, Phubister, Fibister, Phimpster, Phimster and Whibister.

Phimister, do you think?
