Hi all,
Needing help to locate Jessie Helen Dorman born at Leswalt, Wigtownshire on 26th August 1863. She is the youngest child of Thomas Dorman and Ann Neil.
Jessie Helen is on the 1871 Census - recorded as Jessey Dorman - age 8 , born Leswalt at Kirkcolm. Wigtownshire. She is with her mother, 2 sisters and 2 nephews.
I have not been able to locate Jessie Helen/Jessey on the 1881 Census.
9th December 1884 there is a marriage at 15 Smith Street, Govanhill registered in the district of Gorbals, Glasgow - Jessie Dorman (spinster) age 21, Domestic Servant to Hermann Miller (bachelor) age 21 Hairdresser (Master) .
The bride's address is given as 18 Greenvale Street, Stranraer. Her parents are Thomas Dorman (dec'd) and Ann Neil.
The groom's address is 21 Cathcart Road, Govanhill. His parents are John Miller and Catherine
Fuenker (hard to decipher) dec'd.
Witnesses Helen McCormick and George Irving.
So far I have been unable to locate Jessie Helen and her husband Hermann on Scottish Census or death registrations. It looks like the couple may have emigrated
although family "story" had them move to Edinburgh.
Any pointers or possible candidates for this couple welcome.
Please note - I've researched the Dormans- Jessie's siblings and her parents - and have births. deaths, marriages, Census information for them.
I only need to find wee Jessie Helen.
Thanks for reading,
Looby
