WATT, David & MITCHELL, Ann - Benholm
« on: Sunday 26 January 20 02:11 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone.

Ann Mitchell marries David Watt in Benholm in 1808.

Children born in Benholm to Ann and David are: Robert (1809), David (1812), Ann (1813), Magdalen(e) (1816), James (1818), Thomas (1820), William (1821) and ‘Alexander Ann’ (recorded as Female) (1823).

Anne Mitchell marries John Muldrock in Benholm in 1826.  I have not found the death record for David Watt.

Anne Mitchell and John Muldroch have a son Henry Muldroch born 1827 in Benholm.

On the 1841 census, John (35) and Ann (50) Maldrich (transcribed as Muldrick at Ancestry) are in Benholm with Alexandrina (15) Maldrich (Muldrich at Ancestry). This appears to be Ann's child Alexander Ann Watt.

Henry (transcribed at Ancestry as Mary) (14) is living in Benholm separate from his parents.

On the 1851 census, John (49) and Ann (50) Murdoch are in Benholm (transcribed as Muldroch in Johnshaven at Ancestry).

On the 1861 census, John Muldroch (58) and Ann Mitchell (71) are in Benholm.

Ann Muldroch (72) dies in Benholm in 1862. No parents are named on her record.

On the 1851 and 1861 census Ann lists her birthplace as Fettercairn but I have not found a corresponding birth record although the death record and 1861 census would indicate the year was around 1790.

On the 1871 census John Mulderoch (70) is in Fettercairn and on the 1881 census John Maldrich (78) (Moldrich on Ancestry) is in Benholm.

John Muldroch (82) dies in Benholm in 1885. Census records show him as born in Ireland.

Both Ann Mitchell and John Muldrich are named on a memorial erected by John Sheret for his family in Benholm Parish churchyard where Ann is listed as John's grandmother.  Ann's daughter Ann Watt married John Sherret (Snr) in Benholm in 1836.  John (Jnr) was born in Benholm in 1838.  I do have the births for other children of John Sherret and Ann Watt.

The main information I am looking for at this time is a death date for David Watt and a birth/baptism record for Ann Mitchell.  Any assistance gratefully received.

(EDITS: I found John and Ann on the 1851 census, and John on the 1871 and 1881 census.)
