Hi Chantelle and welcome to RootsChat :)

Trying to help here to orientate you with searches. You have have a John OGILVIE Thomson who married an Isabella Bett SEAMAN.

The marriage shows in 1947 on the official pay to view site www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk Due to data protection/privacy, you are outside the period where you can download this marriage entry as an image (see www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/Content/Help/index.aspx?r=554&413 for what is available to view/download immediately and what needs to be ordered online as an extract).

I also saw this from here www.seamens.co.uk/My%20Family.htm

16. Isabella Bett Seaman b. 21-Jul-1916, Halbeath, Dunfermline, Fife, ref: 832, occupation Waitress, m. (1) 26-Apr-1935, in The Manse, Inverkiething, Fife, Charles Burnett, b. 1915 Approx, (son of Charles Burnett and Robina Thomson) ref: 860, occupation Plumber, m. (2) 29-Mar-1947, in Edinburgh Reg. Office,, John Ogilvie Thomson, b. 1921 Approx, (son of Stuart Thomson and Annie Craighead) ref: 981, occupation Rubber Mill Worker.

From this, if accurate, Isabella's marriage to John O Thomson was a second marriage. The first marriage for Isabella to Charles Burnett you can download from Scotlands People (SP). The next, the one you are looking for, to John Thomson, needs to be ordered as an extract from SP.

Hi Chantelle

I am Charles Seaman, I have been researching the Family Tree of Charles Seaman & Isabella Bett.  The following info is correct as I viewed the certificates in Edinburgh.

16. Isabella Bett Seaman b. 21-Jul-1916, Halbeath, Dunfermline, Fife, ref: 832, occupation Waitress, m. (1) 26-Apr-1935, in The Manse, Inverkiething, Fife, Charles Burnett, b. 1915 Approx, (son of Charles Burnett and Robina Thomson) ref: 860, occupation Plumber, m. (2) 29-Mar-1947, in Edinburgh Reg. Office,, John Ogilvie Thomson, b. 1921 Approx, (son of Stuart Thomson and Annie Craighead) ref: 981, occupation Rubber Mill Worker.

Isabella's parents were David Bett Seaman & Janet Gibson Lawson.

The web site www.seamens.co.uk belongs to a relative who put what I had researched on the internet. I hadn't really looked for children up till now but the next time at the Records office in Edinburgh I will have a look.

Please update me if you find out any more before I do.

Hi all.

Thank you all for your comments it's been great to connect. I have a lot of the information that as been posted here from you. The problem I am faced with is we are trying to search for the D J Thomson an it works out he is john son( my mothers brother) my mother never managed to meet her father and searched for many years. We can't obtain Information on D J Thomson as we don't know his full name or date of birth, just his last address that was on the death certificate when registered in 1981. I have written to the address to see if there was any response but obtained nothing back. I've also searched on Scotland's people and found again with the little information we have nothing to go on.  Is there anything else I could try? Chantelle

Hi
I am trying to work an angle to narrow your search for you! What info is on your mothers birth cert. i.e. area/address etc. parents name spelling could be a issue in database? If you send me as much detail as possible I can try and narrow it down for you.

Hi again.

My mum was born Nicholson but was born out of wedlock. he never signed the birth certificate.Her father knew about her but unfortunaly it looks like he was still married when she was born. All the info we have is his name which nan has gave to my mum before she had passed. It's a hard one, mum has search for other family members or info on her father without much look. We are not sure if john and Isabella's children know about my mum either. Mum was born in Edinburgh in 1956. We also got told that john had tried his best to see my mum but my nan made it difficult as she had remarried and eventually settled in nottinghamshire with my mum. Chantelle

Hi
That is a difficult one, I will try a few things when I am next in the record offices in Edinburgh and see what I can find.
Take care
