Anna M Burn born 1778 Minto married Archibald Elliot

[moo]

Good Afternoon Everyone

I am trying to find out marriage date and death dates for the above please.

I have Anna as the daughter of the Rev William Burn, she married Archibald and had 8 children :-
Archibald, Alexander, Margaret, Thomas, William, John, Martha and James.

In the 1851 Census she is a widow and living in Jedburgh aged 68 living in Castle Street.

I just do not seem to find any date of her death or that of Archibald.

Many Thanks for any help

No marriage on scotlandspeople.gov.uk but I did find most of the children’s names you mention, however mother noted as Moriah?

ARCHIBALD ELLIOT/MORIAH BURNS

SP records all Jedburgh
ELLIOT   MARGARET F   14/09/1806
ELLIOT   THOMAS   M   26/03/1808
ELLIOT   WILLIAM   M   06/03/1810
ELLIOT   JHN   M            01/12/1811
ELLIOT   MARTHA   F       29/10/1815

But an Anna M Elliott age 50 (could be 60 on the original) appears on the 1841 census in Jedburgh, with William & James & a Thomas age 11.
Her son Thomas is also on the census, I presume nearby, with his wife and daughter Anna..

No Archibald on census so I guess he died prior to Statutory Registration in 1855 and it looks likely that Anna died between 1851 & 1854.

I wonder if this is where the Moriah error originates from?

ANNA MARAIA BURN father WILLIAM BURN 1/07/1778 Minto.

Thank you Colin

The 1841 Census, definitely reads 50 and she is given as Anna M. I shall try searching using Moriah.

Thomas is living at 4 Abby Bridge with wife and 2 children.

I have just read the will of Rev William Burn, it gives his daughters name as Maria spouse of Archibald Elliot. The will is dated 1828 but it refers to a mutual deed of settlement dated 1819 and Archibald Elliot is to received the sum of £20.00, so do I assume that Archibald Elliot is still alive in 1828. The will also states " To our only son in life ", they had 3 sons so again I am assuming he is the only one alive at the time of the will.

Still searching

Hi from checking, I find the children named the first daughters Anna or Anna Maria, which would follow the Scottish naming pattern
