Hi Carole & O.B.F.,
Some further info.
I have a headstone inscription in Gatehouse of Fleet, Scotland, giving the death of Jane Kensitt (sic) as 23 March, 1928, aged 86 and Charles McClure Dalrymple as 21 Feb., 1919, aged 78. The year of birth for both of them, therefore, being c 1841.
As far as I am aware, Jane was born in Sussex and Charles in Gatehouse, Scotland.
Carol: In your posting on the 1841 census, is it possible that another Philip, a son of Philip snr. and husband of Jane (30), may just have been absent at the time of the census and that Jane (wife of Chas.D.?) was born later in 1841 and therefore may appear in the 1851 census?
O.B.F.: In your Scotland 1901 census posting, this is definitely Charles, Jane and daughter, Agnes, whom I didn't know was born in England! Agnes died 1963, aged 82, and had the middle name of Bertha per a headstone inscription.
Carol: In your 1871 census posting, there is a Bertha and this may have been a niece with Agnes having been given her name as a second name?
O.B.F.: You have undoubtedly hit on a sister of Agnes in Jennet Kensett Dalrymple as Chas. was a forester at one time! She was totally unknown to me.
It is odd that there appears to be no entry for a marriage of Charles and Jane but hopefully this may turn-up. One thing that has came to light, however, is the fact that this is pre the birth of Jennet in March, 1878!
All-in-all, I am delighted with the progress you have both made for me and I feel I am now "getting there". No doubt you will have realised that I am not at all familiar with the procedures on finding my way around the various sites which could assist with my researches! However, the tips on sites you have mentioned will assist me in this.
I do hope that the above makes some sense to you and many thanks again for your time, patience and interest.
Kind regards.
