Some Perthshire Cemeteries

[Watsonpast]

Thank you buckhyne.  Nothing immediately jumps out as 'mine' but I need to research more thoroughly to be sure. 
(Thomas Watson is my direct ancestor.  He married in Aberdeen, later lived in Edinburgh, was an engineer but died in the Tibbermore Poorhouse in 1880)
Thanks again for your help,
Marlene

Hi there, I am new to this forum and have been brought here by this particular post.
I am also a direct relative of the thomas Watson you mention through his grandson George. I have just started to research my family in the last 12 months and would appreciate any help you could offer

The best thing you can do is tell us everything that you already know about your Watsons. This will save anyone rushing off to duplicate what you have already done, and will give a clearer picture of what you still want to find out.

His father John Murray (unknown death date) and mother Ann Cochrane 1824.

Hi Suzy W

I have had a look through the MI Book for Eastern Perthshire there are no William Murray's in             St Madoes there are no Cochrane's either.

Where did you get the details from as there are no deaths on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

I have looked in the cemeteries in the carse of Gowrie and nothing matches for any of the names you have listed.

Yours Aye

Sounds about right for my family
William Murray's death was the 17 June 1814, I have "Perthshire", however he was born in St Madoes, mother being a Cochran
he worked as a weaver between 1805-1809 Cross Ford Kinfauns Then Hallyhoo, so maybe he was not buried at St Madoes
 I believe his wife Mary died 11th Oct 1867 at St Madoes, she was living with her unmarried son John right up untill the 1861 census at St Madoes.

And those Cochrane's or Cochran, there seems to be only one family from St Madoes, there is another William just listed from Perthshire, both the same age having children the same time period, and people are muddling them up.  I think my William was married to a Rebecca Robertsone not the Janet Miller.  So if any death's at St Madoes should be William's and Rebecca's family lines, however like yourself I couldn't find a thing.

Thank you for looking

Hi Suzy W

Were does the 1861 census say she was born?
Does it say she was unmarried or widow?

What was Mary's maiden name, using  the surname Murray listed below are all the Mary Murray deaths in Perthshire from 1860 to 1870.?

Hi Suzy W

there is a tree on www.familysearch.org says it's a copy of this person's ancestry tree take care with this information as the only true information is the records on Scotlands people where you can view  the original documents. 2:2:QRM7-3WN

Mary Murray was born Jack 3 May 1783 at St Madoes died Oct 1867. Daughter of John Jack and Elisabeth Rollo
1851 and 61 she was living with her son John at Hawkstone, he was un-married.
I believe she died 1867 aged 84.
Records do seem to be quite thin with my family names dating this far back with the Murray, Cochran Rollo and Jacks.
