Thank you Jan

It could be either one but the one I am after was a RETIRED seaman when he married Alison Bird in 1843 ( after their son was born in 1842.) Alison was a widow in South st Bo’ness in the 1851 census. So with the first being a carpenter the second looks most likely. I think this was probably a second marriage for James but his marriage record from OPR does not say if he was a widower.

Hi, i have Thomas Grandison married to Alison Birde in my tree, thir son Thomas Grandison was my great great grandfather, do you know if they had any other children??
thanks Jean

Sorry , should have said James Grandison married to Alison Birde(getting tired!!!)

[miska]

Hi! Jean
Thomas was my great grandfather. as far as I know there were no more children born to James and Alice however on Thomas' birth record it looks like James Grandison Senr. ret seaman. suggesting there was a James Junior. Everything points to James being a fair age when Thomas was born so chances are it was a second marriage.
cheers Miska

I am looking for burials in Bo'Ness for the Dick and Kirkwood families. I don't know if anyone can look it up for me or point me to where I could find out. Thanks!

There are a number of Dick and Kirkwood MI's in Bo'ness.

Can you give some first names, maiden names of women and dates or approximate dates of birth or death.

This would be a great help
