Marriage Walter Bone, Mary Pagan

[Peggy13]

Looking for this marriage, probably between 1825 and 1830.  A daughter Mary was born Sept 2, 1830 in Eskdalemuir, if I have my information correct.  It is thought that Walter had a previous marriage to Mary Brown and had 2 children from that marriage.  Walter is thought to have emigrated in 1835 to Canada.
I really need some help on this.
Thanks
Peggy

Hello Peggy,

The IGI (www.familysearch.org) has a Mary Pagan marrying a Walter Bone on:
26 JAN 1827   Kirkpatrick Juxta, Dumfries, Scotland .  The IGI has their daughter Mary born on Sept 03 1830.

~~~~~~~~--------------------
Children born to Walter Bone and Mary Brown (from IGI)

JANET BONE
Birth: 30 AUG 1814 Kirkpatrick Juxta, Dumfries, Scotland
 
 MARION BONE
Christening: 03 JUL 1820 Kirkpatrick Juxta, Dumfries, Scotland 

Cannot find a record of their marriage on the IGI.

If unfamiliar with Scottish research, the govt website (unfortunately pay per view ), but quite a lot of free searching, at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk allows downloads of entries.  (You would be able to get 5 different onesfor the minimumum of £6.00)


Regards,   Steve   :O)

Thanks so much for this info.  I do feel that my Mary is the daughter born Sept 1830.

Yes Peggy,

When you get to a certain point things have to be on a balance of probabilities.  At the end of the day, the only value of downloading the birth entry for your Mary would be to confirm if they were married.  A couple who were married would have a 'lawful' daughter  - whilst a couple who had a child out of wedlock would have a 'natural' daughter.  I know, splitting hairs and hopefully not teaching you to suck eggs  :O) 


Good luck with your searching.  Regards,   Steve

Thanks so much, Steve.  Another lady has offered to look in the Scottish Parochial records to see what she can find.
Hope something conclusive turns up.
Thanks again
Peggy

If you find the Bone family of Kirkpatrick, Juxta is connected to you there is a death notice in a Dumfries paper saying that a Walter Bone late of Kirkpatrick, Juxta died aged 52.  He lived near South East Huntsville, Missouri, America.  He died on the 2nd March 1878.

Let me know if you want the proper reading.

Hello Betty,
I would love to have the reading.  I know that Walter was in Ontario, Canada in 1851 but where he went from there,
I don't know.  Maybe this is him.
thanks

Attached is the extract from the paper dated 4th May 1878, Page 4G

It is not very good, but it is the best I could do.  You will see the top line does not refer to you.  Also it might read "three" miles south east.  It is blurred.  If it turns out to be important I might be able to see the original newspaper.

Hmm. I wonder if this Walter might be a nephew of my Walter. There is some speculation that my Walter had
a brother David.
Thanks
I will keep this on record.
