Hi
I have just started to trace my relatives and appear to be stuck already. My 3x g grandfather Andrew Flockhart (b1812 in Auchterarder) married Jane Scobie - I cannot find a birth date for Jane or a marriage date. They had a daughter Jane (b1846 Auchterarder) and according to the 1951 census they also had 2 other daughters. However I cannot read the census very clearly and cannot make out their names I think one may be Isabella. I have looked at the scotlands people website and cannot find birth information for these two daughters or death dates for Jane scobie or Andrew Flockhart.
Any help would be gratefully recieved!! ???

This is probably no help at all but ancestry has
transcibed the daughters as
Jane b 1843 ???
Jane b 1847
Isabella b 1849
All born Auchterarder, Perthshire

Thanks Raylen. I had not actually looked at Ancestry for these, I have only used scotlandspeople. Surely that's not normal to have two daughters with the same name? It is actually very difficult to read the census though.
Thanks again

Head of the 1851 census is William Flockhart .Andrews Father all the children the two Janes and Isabella are down as Grandchildren.I think possibly two are Andrews children Jane and Isabella and the other older Jane is possibly the daughter of Andrews sister Elizabeth whos also living there.As in the 1861 census only Children living with Andrew are Jane age 14 and Isabella age 12 also his sister and mother living with him.The other Jane age 18 is in service.That would make more sense i think

Hi
I am also working on Michael side of my wifes family on and off for past 3 years, she is also related to Jane Flockhart and John Michael through their son Andrew John Michael, The Michaels come from Kirkhill Inverness Where Jane Flockhart worked as a domestic servant in Moniack Castle prior to them being married. John's parents were Donald Michael and Mary MacDonald. It gets a bit Fuzzy after this.
Hope this helps

Hi
how exciting to hear from you! I am also related to Jane Flockhart and John Michael through Andrew John Michael. Andrew John's son John Michael was my grandfather. I have done quite a bit of research on the Michael family and I had linked them to Kirkhill but i had no idea about Jane working at Moniak Castle. If you would like me to send you the information that I have collected so far to see if it matches up with your research let me know and I can email you what I have collected so far.
Thanks ;D

Hi belmichael64,
I have just started investigating my family tree, and noticed that the Andrew Flockhart and Jane Scobie, are also part of my ancestory. Isabella ( daughter of the above) married My GG Grandfather, David Dunbar, 14/07/1869.
Now I believe they had only 1 child ( John 1869- 1933 ) who married Elsie Victoria Lawrence. They had 2 children ( I believe) , Robert and Duncan ( Duncan is my Grandgfather).
I would love to hear more from you. My e-mail address is, (*)

Hi Maddcore
Good to hear from you! ;D
I have indeed got Isabella and David Dunbar in my tree and also their son John. I believe Isabella married again to a John Wishart in 1878 in Edinburgh. If you would be interested i can send you a copy of the information that i have to date. (The moderator has sent me your email address) Let me know if this would be of any interest to you !!

Hi belmichael164,
I'm glad your still monitoring. I noticed you last post on this was in 2008, so I thought I had missed an opportunity.
Isabella may have remarried, as I believe my GG Grandfather passed away later that year ( reason unknown to me ).
If you do have any information, I would certainly appreciate the assistance!!

Not sure if anyone is still currently active on here or not, but would love to make contact with either belmichael164 or maddcore as likewise, I am researching on behalf of current Dunbar family members of New Zealand and would love to share information. Look forward to hearing from you!
