hi..

There is no record for the birth of a Catherine, or Catharine Carnegie in Bervie between 1800 and 1820, but, there is a birth of a Katharine Carnegie, b 20 December 1807 at Bervie.

This is the one that I have...through time the spelling must have changed from K to C..I have her born in 1807 to Alexander Carnegie and Ann Milne in Bervie.... I am almost certain that she has knocked about ten years off and if that is the correct census for William Allan in 1841, well he was born c 1820, so she must have been older than he...I am still looking for Williams death certificate to no avail...nothing in Glasgow cept one which is not it....

I was wondering if I can access his sailing records to see where he had been...
If he had been around after 1861 then we could maybe find his details from Crew agreements via the ships O/N
All I can suggest is that you take a look in the National Archives at Kew.

For the benefit of those who did not check my original link, I've posted it again .The second link does not appear to take you directly to this vessel.Pity no one told me as it would have saved seaweed extra work!
 http://www.clydesite.co.uk/clydebuilt/viewship.asp?id=8186
Please note that this vessel came to Glasgow via London. As there is not a death entry for him on scotlandspeople that is why I pointed out
I William Allan died 8th June 1855.
There is 1 William Allan registered in the June Quarter in england
Lambeth 1d 244.

Hope this information will be helpful!

flst,
Unless I have got it totally wrong, The vessel you refer to is the CITY OF LONDON official number 22808 which  was a Sailing ship registered in Glasgow. (see my post on page 4) So not the vessel we are looking for
I have attached  details from Lloyds register you will note her Captain was Blair as reported in the Caledonian Mercury article.

Sorry for my ignorance but I did not realise an iron paddle steamship was a sailing ship!  Were the other "City of London"'s around in the 1850's?
