Hi George and everyone 

Do you know William Linklater snr (who married Margaret Brown) ,his  parents?

deb

Hi Deb,

I don't. 

I'd nearly put money on it, his Father is called William.   

[Gadget]

Not necessarily, George 

Scottish naming conventions -

1st son - after father's father
2nd son - after mother's father
3rd son after father

1st daughter  - after mother's mother
2nd daughter - after father's mother
3rd daughter - after mother

Then it goes with father's siblings and mother's siblings in the same pattern, etc. BUT it wasn't always used

Quite correct Gadget 

You want to see the William's, Nathaniel's, and variations thereof down over towards today. 

Some of the younger generations have called sons 'Nathan' because they think it's 'new' 

[miagre1]

Hi Deb,

Only later generations 1914 onwards in the armed services.

WB should have a merchant ticket through service before the qualifying bit was introduced. He ended his career as Master Mariner

His sons -

William Nathaniel - Engineer
Nathaniel George should have a seamans ticket. (Ends as First Officer
James may have but was a 'Marine Engineer'
Robert - disappears into thin air after 1871 census

Baikies are tied in somewhere as are Heddles, Hourstons. Velzians .......

I'd guess you must have seen this; is it possible Robina had a middle name she is using?

If these two families of Chalmers are related, have they exchanged their female servants between the two households at some point, and got the names confused on the Census? I know it's a long shot...

PS - it's £10 to buy and though you're one of my pals, I think that's a bit much for me but we could work out a system 

Gadget - you're a genius.

I have the certificate this day.

"October 23rd 1826 was born William Brown Linklater to Wm. Linklater & Margaret Brown of Hoy and Baptized the 2 (?) by the reverand Charles Clouston"

Brilliant, Thank You.
