Lookups forJoseph Wiseman on Scottish Census
« on: Sunday 13 April 08 19:39 BST (UK) »
Would someone be  willing to do lookups on Scottish census for Joseph Wiseman b ca 1792-1794 wife Margaret Chapman age unknown. 1 child known Janet b 22 Jan 1838  may be more.

Also searching for Edward Wiseman b Jan 1878 Scotland place unknown could belong to Joseph's family.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Piglet and Wozzle,
Thank you for your help it is greatly appreciated.

Any information about when Joseph Wiseman and  Margaret Chapman died?

Are they on any other census after 1861?

I think that Edward Wiseman b 1878 may be  a cousin through James or Alexander's line.  Passenger record for

him says born England, 1911Canadian census  says born Scotland. Which is right?

Any other help greatly appreciated.

Lilybell :) :) :)

There are a number of Edward Wisemans in the right age range showing on the English 1881 Census which you can access through www.familysearch.org. I had a quick look through but couldn't easily see a Scottish connection through the parents listed for these Edwards.

In the Scottish 1891 census there are a few interesting entries:

~ one Edward, in the army, b. England in 1873 based at Barracks in Glasgow
~ the other Edward I will post the full entry as I think there are probably some mistranscriptions:

Edward Wiseman    82 (?), head, Mirseyman Leedsmante House (for occupation?!), b. Elgin
Elizabeth Wiseman 29, wife, b. Inveravon, Banff
Edward A Wiseman 6, b. Elgin
Elizabeth C Wiseman 5, b. Elgin
William Wiseman 2, b. Elgin
Henry J Wiseman 5 Mos, b. Elgin
Elizabeth Wilson 19, servant

Address: Scottsbank, Elgin, Moray

~ the third Edward has an earlier birth year:

Alex Wiseman    85, Inspector Of Poor, b. Drainie
Jane Wiseman    73, b. Urquhart, Moray
Edward B Wiseman 24, Assistant Registrar, b. Drainie, Moray

Address: No 85 Clifton Rd, Drainie Moray

The English soldier Edward doesn't show in 1901 but the other two Edwards do. What is the date for your Edward's ship crossing?

 Edward immigrated to Canada  June 1907.  His profession was watchmaker. He was 31 years.

Wish I had more information but believe he had a connection to Joseph Riach who married Jessie Wiseman.

He was boarding with Joseph on the 1911 Canadian Census for Saskatchewan. He worked in a jewllery shop

in Saskatchewan.

There is a possible for Edward in the English 1901 Census. There is a 22 yrs old (b. 1879) Edward at home with family in Fulham London. He shows as a Pawnbrokers Assistant (I'm 99% sure it says Pawnbrokers - the enumerator has chosen to make some marks on the section over the Paxxxrokers!). This would fit with your Edward's occupation in Canada where he shows as working in a jewelery shop.

The 1901 entry for the family in Fulham, London - all the children showing as born in London:

Amelia Wiseman    61, b. Widgrave Suffolk
Amelia Wiseman    34, dressmaker
Edward Wiseman    22, pawnbrokers assistant
David Wiseman    19, clerk
Walter G Wiseman 19, diamond mount xxx

The family in 1891 with father John, in Fulham:

John Wiseman    56, shoemaker, b. Aylsham, Norfolk
Amelia Wiseman    51, b. Redgrave, Suffolk
Amelia Wiseman    26, dressmaker
Benjamin Wiseman 14, ironmonger's assistant
Edward Wiseman    12
David Wiseman    10
Walter Wiseman    8

This is the closest I can see with the information you have. Apart from the question mark over England/Scotland, this is a good fit for Edward.

Regards.
