Lookup please - Myatt
« on: Tuesday 12 May 09 07:29 BST (UK) »
Hi

I've found William J Myatt b 1861 and Annie Hastings born 1868/9. They were married in New Cumnock 1895 and had a son in 1907. I believe Annie had a child before as there is a stepson Hastings in the 1901 census, but I'm struggling to confirm info on other children they may have had together. Can anyone help? I did come across 2 possible daughters but they seemed to be about 10/12 years too old.

Also anything on the Hastings line would be much appreciated.

Thanks
slfhdn

Annie Hastings Myatt (other name: Kelly) - d. 1974 in Thornhill, Dumfries and Galloway (b. c. 1899)
Sarah Bamford Myatt (other name: Goudie), d. 1985 in Dunfermline, Fife (b. c. 1896)
Thomas Myatt, d. 1978 in Galston, Ayrshire (b. c. 1904)

Hello Sifhdn,

Looks like William Myatt, died 1912. age 51 years, New Cumnock, Ayr. His wife Ann Hastings Myatt, died 1947. age 79 years, again New Cumnock, Ayr.

Annie Hastings, do you know who her parents were, is it possible her parents were Robert Hastings, and Helen Evans.

Regards,
Jonn.

Hello Sifhdn,

No it looks like Annie Hastings, parents were Charles Hastings, and Margaret Harries, who were married 10/July/1863. Kirkmahoe, Dumfries. it also looks like Annie Hastings, was born 3/July/1868. Kirkmichael, Dumfries.

Going by the births that Liznel, provided i see a James Austin Myatt, i take it if this is correct then this Annie Hastings, daughter of Charles Hastings, and Margaret Harries, had a brother called Robert Austin Hastings, born 27/March/1870. Holywood, Dumfries.

Regards,
Jonn.

Thank you both. This is great!

I've carried on my search and made some progress since my original post, but your info has certainly added.

Liznel - Thanks - of the people you listed I had only Edward Bamford b 1907 (this is the strong line I started to follow as living relatives follow the same naming tradition, which has helped).

Jonn - Thanks too - I had William James Myatt and dob, but not date of death. I also had Annie's dob but not death. I'd found Robert the brother as witness at her wedding, along with a Marion (surname illegible) so thanks for Dob. I can confirm your second post re Annie's parents being Charles and Margaret - and she had (I think) 6 siblings:

Catherine b 23/04/1874
John b 18/05/1872
Jane Harries b 14/01/1865
David Harris b 08/11/1863
William b 08/08/1866
Robert Austin b 27/03/1870

Onwards and backwards! It's so exciting. I just came across some info on someone else's tree where their relative had been taken to court for poaching and my GGG Grandad Austin James Myatt was the Water Bailiff!

I've taken a shine to the name Austin from my tree - so be warned any future father of my children :-)

Hello Slfhdn,

Here is the 1881. census for Charles Hastings, and his wife Margaret Herries, and children.

Drumcore Cottage, Morton, Dumfries,

Hastings Charles, Head, Ploughman, M. age 45 years, M. born Troqueer, Dumfries,
Hastings Margaret, Wife, M. age 38 Years, F. born Dunscore, Dumfries,
Hastings Annie, Daur, Scholar, U. age 12 years, F. born Kirkmichael, Dumfries,
Hastings Robert, Son, Scholar, U. age 11 years, M. born Holywood, Dumfries,
Hastings John, Son, Scholar, U. age 9 years, M. born Kilpatrick, Dumfries,
Hastings Catherine, Daur, Scholar, U. age 6 years, F. born Kilpatrick, Dumfries,
Hastings Charles, Son, age 2 years, M. born Tynron, Dumfries,
Hastings Archibald D. Son, age 6 Months, M. born Morton, Dumfries.

By the way the name Austin, came from Margaret Herries, side of the family, her mother was a Catherine Austin, and she married a David Herries, 29/May/1836. Glencairn, Dumfries.

Regards,
Jonn.

Hello, Just did a google search for William James Myatt and came up with your posts on this site.  William J Myatt and Annie Hastings are great great grandparents of mine.  Interested to find out our link!  Cheers, Gillian
