I am frustrated by three missing children of Thomas ANDERSON and Isobel SHARPE married 1798 Perth, Scotland I’ve put them all in one thread but if it seems preferable to separate them, let me know.
They had 9 children three of whom I cannot account for Thomas, William and Joseph
Thomas and Joseph may have emigrated anywhere and I may have to wait until someone works up from their lines, but William, I feel, should be able to be found.
Thomas born 26 Sep 1800 baptised at the Church of the Associate Congregation. (father is Tailor at Methven Street, near Perth). There is a Thomas ANDERSON in Auchterarder in 1841 age 40, constable, with Euphemia ANDERSON age 6. both born in county. Euphemia’s mother was Sophia HARVEY (from the Scotland’s people indexes). The only likely Thomas ANDERSON and Sophia marriage is to Sophia SMITH in 1825 in Perth. I bought that one, but I don’t think it can be him as that Thomas is a fisher of Monifieth, and SMITH is Sophia’s maiden name. Can anyone see a Thomas ANDERSON Sophia HARVEY marriage?
William, b 19 May 1805 and baptised 22 May 1805 at the Perth Associate Congregation (Thomas a Taylor in Pomarium)
He notified the death of his sister Isabella in 1856 so must be in Perth at that time
In 1841 and 1851 there is William a grocer. He married Elizabeth McLELLAN 29 Mar 1836. However I have his death in 1860 parents were John ANDERSON a farmer and Ann (MS ANDERSON)
Can anyone see another candidate either in 1841/51 or a death?
Joseph born/baptised 14 August 1817
He is NOT the Joseph ANDERSON age 25 a journeyman shoemaker in Pomarium with wife Margaret (IMRIE)and family in 1841 and also present in 1851. (I have this Joseph’s death in 1859 - father was David ANDERSON and mother someone EDWARD
One brother, James, born 1807, was a Tailor (among other occupations), in London by 1837, married in 1843, and went to NZ in 1857 with his family but there is no indication (that I have found anyway) that any of the other family were either already here, or came later. One sister Margaret b 1811 was with him in London in 1841 and she went back to Perth and married William CRICHTON there. That couple went to Birmingham and then Liverpool. Of the remaining siblings two boys died as infants and the rest (2 daughters) stayed in the Perth area.
Thank you for looking.
