William Wilson & Jean Nisbet - Dunfirmline 1800
« on: Monday 22 June 09 00:35 BST (UK) »
My Name is Barry Wilson, I Live in Liverpool & have traced my Family Tree back Six Generations to the Marrage of William Wilson & Jean Nisbet. I now seem to have hit a bit of a brick wall & can go back no further.

The Facts I have have are as follows

Marriage Details from two towns, unknown why ?
5th Dec 1800 Parish of Saline, Fife
6th Dec 1800 Parish of Dunfirmline, Fife

Jean (aka Jane) Nisbet - Carnock, Fife
Born 1779 - Christening/Baptism 6th Sept 1779

William Wilson - I have no more Information on other than the Marriage Details

UPDATE - William Wilson was a BREWER to Mr John KILGOUR in Dumfirmline
for a period of about 10 years or so (Taken from Old Parochial Registers of his children)


The two of them had Six Children

ROBERT - Born 1st Oct 1801 - Christening 11 Oct 1801 
Witnessed by James ANDERSON (Merchant)  & Andrew HOUSTON

THOMAS - Born 14th Aug 1803 - Christening 20th Aug 1803
Witnessed by John SAUNDERS (Baker) & John SIMPSON (Taylor) both Dunfirmline

WILLIAM- Born 22nd June 1805 - Christening 6th July 1805
Witnessed by Jake & Richard KILGOUR (Baker)

Catherine - Born 14th June 1807 - Christening 25th June 1807

James Anderson Wilson - 18th June 1809 - Christening  1 July 1809

David Wilson - Born 7th June 1811 - Christening 23rd June 1811

I come from the Thomas Line

Any Information I can get of anyone that will help me trace back further on the Wilson side would be much appreciated.

carnock is a little village that lies between dunfermline and saline .

carnock does have alovely church of scotland  parish church also a graveyard (ruined) united free church .

It is quite common for folk of this time to be married in the brides home town and be carried off or walked to be married where the couple were living for friends and other family. As brewer his friends would except nothing less for obvious reasons. I am related to most but not all the NIsbet linen weavers and coal miners of Dunfermline indeed I am informed that Nisbet be be related to St Margaret herself but I have yet to see the proof as she was the daughter of an English king and Hungarian noble princess!

I will check out Jean for you which was most times pronounced Jane not Jean as we know it, as a harsh denim wear.
regards Martyn

Is this of any use

From the Scottish naming pattern you would expect his father
To be called Robert
Willian Ch. 4.8.1771 Auchtertool to Robert Wilson & Isabella Crawford


2nd son Thomas after her Father
there is a Jean Ch. 6.9.1779 Carnock to Thomas Nisbet & Kathrine Anderson
this fits as the 1st daughter was called Catherine

There is a William Wilson died 2.4.1841 Dunfermline age 70 Brewer
