jennywren.. that may be my gr.grnfthers first wifes kids by ellen doyle who died at age 50,then he got remarried to marion Neff, she was much younger) and so we have always wondered if he had any other previous children, so you may have uncovered that, thanks.
I'm still keeping the William m/Isabella fergusson lady on the back of mind although I think this William m/agnes Dick couple im elevating to the top of my list :
...but I just want to ask one question to be sure how does one know if a person is listing
birth in a district or village
why would a parshioner ,as a teenager be in collessie if parents are in cupar?
wouldnt they all just go to the cupar parish?
can a record determine the difference between
vill. of pitlessie, in the parish of cults ,in district of cupar such as on that '51 cencus
from say ,cupar parish in the district of cupar
one last thought on this :
maybe since william died in '38 just before that collessie church
was finished then his widow 'n son moved into collessie from parish in cupar
and is why i was stuck in collessie this whole time
i guess that 41 census would have told all ,but thanks everyone for your help
it been fun, I guess ill keep this open for now as there are still some unanswered questions.but I think without that 41 cencus i'll never know if these ppl were actually in cupar or in cults lets say in the district of cupar next door to the kids. I not sure about districting of public records versus parish districting into presbterys or synods over there. that part confuses me
my next step will be locating those two that Annette mentioned
in the overall index to find actual graves
somewhere near cults or cupar.
ill ask that on another thread to norrieg dealing w mi's, -thanks for heads up on that other robert
