Looking for Susan Spencer nee Ogilvie and her daughter Barbara

[Kay99]

I can't see a baptism for Susan as Crew or Ogilivie and I wonder who was the father of Isabella's youngest son Alexander??

A maybe for son Alexander from 1861:

Alexander Potter
Birth Date    21 Oct 1859
Birthplace    EDINBURGH PARISH
Father's Name    James Potter
Mother's Name    Isabella Johnston

I think you are right Monica.   I peeked at the image and the address was Campbell  Close, Cannongate which was the street Isabella and family were living at in 1861!  Informant Elizabeth Johnston - Aunt??

It's been mentioned that Susan had no children and interesting to note that Miles McFarlane and wife Susan had been married 8 years in 1881 and they had no children!

Annette

I think that may be no living children

They do appear to have had a daughter Isabella

Have found Isabella Ogilvie in 1871 at Greenside, Canongate, Midlothian - aged 47, born Dunbar - described as Criminal Prisoner!!   Oh dear!

Annette

Or as Ancestry have her - Julika   No wonder I could't find her!

SP has a 19-year-old Susan Cunn in St Giles in 1871. There is no listing of Susan Cunn on FS.

Just to add to the mix- the Edinburgh Evening News 26 August 1881 has an article about an attack in a close on South Bridge Edinburgh on " Susan Ogilvie or McFarlane and Grace Hunter or Ogilvie, residing in Beaumont Place".

(Think Grace Ogilvie is showing in 1881 as married to James Ogilvie a painter b Dunbar living in Covenant Close, High Street).
