Does anyone have any info on Jemima Manson who married John Miller at Olrig in 1882

Hi Longberry

I presume you have their marriage cert from Scotland's people www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk? It will cost 6 units (£1.20).

This will give you the name of her parents and her age at marriage. There are a few Jemima'sshowing on the IGI but without a dofB, it's difficult to say if any of them are her.

Do you have any other information - children, etc. The various census information can also be checked, if you don't have access.

This might be her on the I881:

Castlehill Bothy, Olrig
District 39 ED 6 Page 50

Jemima Manson, 21, farm servant, b. Olrig



There is also an interesting family on the 1881 in Edinburgh. Maybe some connection:

3 North St James Street, 2nd floor. Edinburgh, St Cuthberts

District 685/2 ED 58 Page 6

James Miller, 60, carter, b. Orig
Sinclair Manson, wif, 55, b. Olrig

I did have a look at the cert. It was very poor but I managed to see her parents' names     You could contact SP (via their contact form)  and ask for a decent copy. They are very good.
