Michie - 1851 census

[patvp1]

Hi Sue - Presume you have seen the death of James Snr, so we end up with another James Michie plus Isabella, so far am doing no damned good with a marriage or whatever  but will keep plodding along.

Can imagine the conversation re the name Michie..with a scottish accent..the poor man probably ended up saying well, put down what you want ..Michie.Mickey/Mackie/McKay and as you say being illiterate would not know the difference.... AND I am still having problems    and I can read and write...though have sometimes wondered about transcribers ...whoops 

As to naming patterns..will list for other..

Margaret 1828, James 1830, William 1832, John 1833, Thomas 1835, Robert 1837, Daniel 1839, David 1841, Izzatt 1843, Isabella 1845, Euphemia 1846.  Only 3 listed on IGI, have not yet checked SP, nor have I checked for a James and Isabella.

By the way my interest is that the Michie married in to the Marshall family...Regards Patvp

Izatt Michie c1843 - married Agnes Marshall 21 Jul 1871 Alloa, and they had eight children.

Have gathered following mainly from IGI re marriages of Michie family as above.

Margaret - No info.
James - Ann Matheson.  as you know 
William - Euphemia Ramage 24 May 1858 Alloa (double checked on SP)
John - Martha Munro 18 Dec 1857.
Thomas - Elizabeth Bisset 13 Aug 1856 Alloa.
Robert - Mary Ann Dobbie 19 Jan 1863 (double checked SP)
Daniel - Isabella Munro 24 Aug 1860. Alloa.
David - Possibly a Isabel Simpson around 1861.

Isabella - no info.
Euphemia - John Gray 22 Aug 1864.

As you can see most info is IGI apart from the two or three if you count Izatt on SP..but am fast running out of credits as I started again on the Marshall family  now I know why I put them on one side before   

Regards Patvp

Hi, i have just joined and now my first post so unsure if im doing this correctly. My line follows isabella michie born 1867 daughter of daniel.  Isabella worked as a servant and married coachman robert harper and they moved to live in milliken house in kilbarchan, my gran isabella was born 1907, she married duncan campbell and the moved to paisley where i still live. I would be really interested to see any photos of the ancestors. I have a photo of daniel and isabella i think (i cannot think who else the would be)i have a photo of daughter isabella born 1867 with a sister possibly. It would be great to hear.

Hi your first post looks fine.  Thanks for the info on Isabella.  I have no photos to offer but I do have a tree on ancestry.com.  My DNA matches several descendants of John MICHIE 1691-1764 and Agnes AITKEN 1700-1726.  These are the parents of James MICHIE b. 1735 who married Isobel MITCHELL b 1735, who in turn are the parents of Isabella MICHIE b 1763, the mother of James MICHIE 1801-1863 who married Euphemia IZATT 1808-1881.  Has anyone else had their DNA tested?
