William OGSTON, where are you !!!!
« on: Tuesday 17 May 05 13:11 BST (UK) »
I am hoping that someone will be able to help me fill in the gaps here or at least come up with a suggestion as to where else i could look..
I am looking for William Ogston.I have his baptism in 1821 in Fraserburgh.His parents were James Ogston and Isabel(Isabella) Webster.I have lost track of him for some years after that!In the 1841 Scottish Census he is no longer living with his family.Nor can i find him anywhere else.In 1854 he marries Abigail Mary Ann Jeffries in Billericay.She is from Norfolk.This is his second marriage.He then goes on to have 2 children in Essex,several in Hampshire and a couple in Berkshire!I have found him in Berkshire in the 1871 Census.Neither him or his family appear in the 1881.The next time i come across him and family is in the 1891-again in Berkshire!He is in Chobham,Surrey in the 1901 and ends his days in 1917 in Norwich.
What i'd really like some help with is to find his first marriage(Scotland or England?)and when his first wife died?
Also,i'd like to be able to find him on the various censuses just to fill in gaps.
I have tried looking for as many variations as i can on the surnames and as many passenger lists as i can and although i have found that some of his sons did emigrate he does'nt appear to be amongst them.Please help!!!!Thanks..

Hi

Perhaps you could post the 1871 & 1891 census details for the family ie. names/ages/birthplaces ............... it would make it easier to see the family as a whole and then try and deduce where they may have been using the other details.

Best wishes

I sent details of William Ogston's family to family in Worksop in 2005/06.  We corresponded until the end of 2009 when they moved and I have lost their new address.  Perhaps this was you as I see on occasion you have signed yourself "Julie".  I have received photographs of William's daughter Isabella (by his first wife, Margaret Bruce), and her husband,
from my niece's husband and want to pass them on.  Please contact me if you recognise yourself from this message.

Sorry I can't find him in 1841 or 51,but in 1861 he is at Farley Lodge Bramshott in Hampshire, along with wife Abigaile and son Edward born 1856 Essex & daughter Hannah born 1859 Essex.
In 1881 he is under William Upton wife Maryanne at Titness Gardens Sunninghill Berkshire.
