Is anyone researching this Burt family from Wemyss?
I'd love to know more about this family if anyone
can help.
My ancestors were David Burt and Rosina Anderson
and my line is through their daughter Rosina Burt b1791.
Rosina married William Chalmer in St Cuthberts, Edinburgh
in 1813.
Thank you.

Hi Mudlark
I have data down through John Burt and Christian Oswald to a present day farming family in Leslie - the wife there being my 5th Cousin.
A son of John and Christian ... James Burt, married a Janet Wallace in Wemyss in 1847 ... their daughter Christian Burt married a James Grieve, of one of my many Fife blood lines, in Wemyss in 1881 ... and they had a daughter Janet Wallace Grieve in Wemyss 1890. However, as this was a sibling line originating from James Grieve's Great Grandparents Katherine Henderson/George Grieve's marriage in 1790, and I had a 'hot' smartmatch on geneconnected to follow down to Leslie, I left it there to follow James G's sister Agnes Grieve's line down to there today.
I am a Henderson as you see from the crest!
Cheers,
DDJJake
PS
If there is a way on Rootschat for me to send you data and images privately by e-mail attachment .... if you wish this .... please let me know how ... I am a 'newbie' on rootschat.

Hello All,
I was delighted to receive a private e-mail from "Mudlark", (she has a much nicer name than that, but I won't disclose it!). She was writing about her problems with the Burt Family of Wemyss in Fife and specifically about her connection to David Burt who married Isabella Dunsire (or Dunsyre) on August 25th., 1825 at Wemyss.
I thought that she may appreciate the following, dug out of my personal files:
John BURT was born way back around the year 1651 and married a young lady by the name of Bessie Christie on the 10th of January, 1675 at Wemyss. I believe Bessie was just a few years younger than her husband, being born around 1655.
They had these children:
George BURT christened 1st October, 1677 at Wemyss, but he must have died because another George was born to Bessie a few years later in her marriage.
Janet BURT born 30th April, 1682 at Wemyss in Fife.
Isabel BURT born 13th July, 1684 at Wemyss in Fife.
George BURT christened 21st February, 1686 in Wemyss in Fife.
Bessie BURT (what a great-sounding name!) christened 8th December, 1689 in Wemyss in Fife.
On my next posting, I will show "Mudlark" what happened to George BURT - the one christened on 21st February, 1686 at Wemyss.
Kind Regards,
Tom.

Hello All,
I will continue with the story relating to George BURT who was christened on the 21st of February, 1686 at Wemyss in Fife. When he was 21, he married a Margaret LAW on the 12th of December, 1707 at Wemyss.
Their children:
John BURT born 11th February, 1709 at Wemyss in Fife.
George BURT born 19th March, 1711 at Wemyss in Fife.
Margaret BURT born 17th November, 1712 at Wemyss in Fife. She went on to marry David WILSON on the 13th of September, 1735 at Wemyss.Janet Burt born 16th April, 1715 at Wemyss in Fife.
Bessie BURT born 30th April, 1717 at Wemyss in Fife.
James BURT born 28th February, 1719 at Wemyss in Fife.
Mary BURT born 30th April, 1721 at Wemyss in Fife.
David BURT born 8th May, 1723 at Wemyss in Fife.
Mary BURT born 15th March, 1725 at Wemyss in Fife.
My next posting should continue to be of significance to "Mudlark", because I will introduce the connections to the WILSON's and the DUNSYRE's.
Kind Regards,
Tom.

Hello All,
I have aleady mentioned that Margaret BURT, who was born on the 17th November, 1712 at Wemyss to George BURT and Margaret LAW, married David WILSON. The marriage took place at Wemyss on the 13th September, 1735 at Wemyss.
Purely as possible leads for you, and not as an exhaustive listing, they had the following children:
Margaret WILSON born 7th November, 1736 at Wemyss. She went on to marry Thomas Pittbladdo on the 19th of March, 1755 ay Wemyss.
George WILSON born 14th February, 1739 at Wemyss in Fife.
Now for the DUNSYRE connections:
George WILSON married Margaret BROWN and had the following children:
George WILSON born 25th April, 1697 at Wemyss in Fife. He went on to marry Helen DUNSYRE on the 28th of October, 1720 at Wemyss in Fife.Thomas Wilson christened 8th December, 1700 at Wemyss in Fife.
Robert WILSON christened 23rd November, 1701 at Wemyss in Fife.
Margaret WILSON christened 7th November, 1703. She went on to marry Archibald CAIRNS in August 1721 at Wemyss.
John WILSON (shown on the records as being christened 7th November, 1703 at Wemyss) too. he must have died in infancy because another John was christened in 1710.
William Wilson christened 24th 24th December, 1705 at
Wemyss. He married Helen DUNSYRE on the 15th May, 1732 at Wemyss.
James WILSON christened 9th April, 1708 at Wemyss in Fife.
John Wilson christened 5th July, 1710 at Wemyss in Fife.
I sincerely hope that all of the above will be of assistance to "Mudlark" and any other researchers working on these famileis.
Kind Regards,
Tom.

Hello Tom,
Thank you so much for taking my Burt family from Wemyss on
board and also for all your other help.
I will study this Burt family from the 17th century and see
if there is any way of finding a link from them to
my David Burt born around 1750.
Although I have given a John Burt and Margaret Salmond
as David's parents (in my posting), neither John nor Margaret
have been confirmed as the correct parents - so perhaps
should be disregarded for now.
This morning I found yet another pair of possible contenders
(for David's parents):
9. DAVID BURT - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 10 MAY 1849 Wemyss, Fife, Scotland
However, the list of David Burt and Rosina Anderson's children
are confirmed, and also their children's marriage partners
(where known).
I would be delighted to hear from anyone who has a link
or can give me any further info to my Burt family
from Wemyss.
Thank you..........
Cheers for now
Chris
Hello All,
I will continue with the story relating to
George BURT who was christened on the 21st of
February, 1686 at Wemyss in Fife.

1707 at Wemyss.
Their children:

George BURT born 19th March, 1711 at Wemyss in Fife.
Margaret BURT born 17th November

Hello All,
After such a nice thank you from "Mudlark", how could I possibly not try to go that extra mile and give her a bit more help with her BURT family? In a private e-mail to her I suggested that she may want to cast her net around the towns and villages aroung the coastal areas of Fife. It is possible to see Extracted Marriage Records that tell us that the bride and bridegroom quite frequently came from different parishes. I'll give her a good example of that, and at the same time introduce her to another significant branch of the BURT family.
James BURT married an Ann (or Anna) GREIG on the 12th of November, 1736 and there are two Extracted Marriage Records that confirm that event: one at Abbotshall and one at Kinghorn.Their children:
Agnes BURT extracted cert for chr. 15th August, 1737 at Abbotshall.
Margaret BURT extracted cert for chr. 14th October, 1739 at Abbotshall.
William BURT extracted cert for birth 3rd June, 1742 at Abbotshall.
Janet BURT extracted cert for birth 3rd July, 1750 at Abbotshall.
Isabella BURT extracted cert for birth 12th March, 1753 at Abbotshall.
James BURT extracted cert for birth 7th July, 1757 at Abbotshall.
Now, old Doubting Thomas looked at James Burt, the husband of Anna Greig and thought, if he married in November 1736, is it possible that he married when he was 17 years of age? Why would I want to know that? Well, remember that posting I made about George Burt who married Margaret Law? They had a son, James Burt who was born on the 28th of February, 1719 at Wemyss, which is only about 4 miles from Abbotshall. Is it possible that their son married Anna Greig at Abbotshall? One thing that intrigued me was that the second eldest daughter of James Burt and Anna Greig was Margaret Burt who was christened on 14th October, 1739
Some of you may recall that when I wrote about the old Scots system of "naming patterns", the second eldest daughter was usually named after the mother or father's mother. Well, James Burt's mother was named Margaret Law. The thing that spoils that rather neat scenario is that the oldest son should be named after his father's father, and I see no George in their family! Still, there are quite significant gaps in the above list of children, so perhaps there are children missing from the list. Am I whistling in the wind?
Kind Regards,
Tom.

Hi Tom,
Many, many thank's for sending me all this extra information.
It will be a great help I know and I'll check this family out
as soon as possible and get back to you
(off to the dentist shortly!!).
Now, I must be getting old, because I gave details
for a David Burt in my last reply who was born in
the wrong century (1849)!! Apologies to one and
all for this bloomer!
So it's back to the drawing board - and having checked
out IGI again, I find that the David Burt born in Wemyss
in 1750 was the only contender after all, and John Burt
and Margaret Salmond are what appears to be the
only possible parents ---UNLESS, someone out there
knows otherwise.
Thanks again Tom
All the best
Chris

Hello Tom,
I'm on the trail again and have found another possible
marriage for James Burt born 1719 in Wemyss.
In this marriage below, James married Isabel Ballingal
in Wemyss - July 1740.
If this is the correct James, it would mean that he was
21 years old at the time of his marriage.
3. JAMES BURT - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 11 JUL 1740 Wemyss, Fife, Scotland
I've also found another James Burt born 1709 in Kircaldy
who might just be a contender for the marriage that
took place between a James Burt and Ann(a) Greig in 1736.
This James was the son of Robert Burt and Margaret Wilkie
(details below).
1. ROBERT BURT - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 10 MAY 1700 Scoonie, Fife, Scotland
Father: Robert Burt
Mother: Margaret Wilkie
Batch no. C114425
4. GEORGE BURT - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 16 SEP 1707 Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland
2. JAMES BURT - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 09 OCT 1709 Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland
5. THOMAS BURT - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 02 AUG 1713 Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland
It's the first time I've ever worked forwards to try and find an
ancestor, but it's certainly an interesting exercise. Will see if
I can find a some kind of family connection, I certainly
have plenty to go for here - thanks to you!
Talk again soon.

Hello All,
Rather than go on to a different thread about the Burt's, I thought that I would answer some of the queries that I have received by private e-mail about the Peter BURT who some think disappeared without a trace.
Peter Burt was the son of Peter BURT and Isabell SPOWART. He was born on the 7th of March, 1818 at Dunfermline. On the 27th of December, 1839 he married Margaret BEVERIDGE, who had been born on the 12th January, 1819.
Peter didn't disappear into the wide blue yonder - he emigrated to the dear old US of A. He died in March, 1887 at New Era, Clackamas in Oregon.
Kind Regards,
Tom.

Hello All,
A certain lady has just uttered the magic words, Robert BURT and Margaret WILKIE. I wonder if she knows of the many connections that these families have to individuals on my Family Tree?
Robert and Margaret married on the 10th of May, 1700 at a place called SCOONIE in Fife. I have often wondered who his parents were, and one couple in particular are distinct "possibilities" - Robert BURT and Agnes GOURLAY. Now, once again, that would be a remarkable coincidence, since a Thomas GOURLAY became the third husband of my grandmother, and I was named after that fine old man, having Thomas as my Christian Name and Gourlay as my Middle Name.
I thought that it may be useful for those people who don't know Fife very well, if I tried to give you an image of all these places that I write about, such as SCOONIE, where Robert BURT married Margaret WILKIE.
SCOONIE is a north-eastern suburb of Leven, which is situated about 8 miles along the shores of the Firth of Forth from my birthplace of Kirkcaldy. The old church there was abandoned in the year 1769 when a new church was built at nearby LEVEN. The ruins of the church lie in a cemetery on the road to nearby LARGO. ( that's the birthplace of Alexander Selkirk, the man who was the model for Robinson Crusoe). In 1801, SCOONE had a population of only 1,681. Now, to put things into perspective, neighbouring parishes were: Ceres, Kennoway, Kettle, Largo, and. Markinch.
I may as well go the whole hog by telling those people interested in the WESTWATER's, that if they take a look at the 1851 Scoonie Census, they will find quite a few Westwater's. For example:
William WESTWATER aged 35, his daughter Janet, aged 15, Margaret aged 12, William, his son aged 10 and James aged 6.
I think that I've done my good deed for the day in posting that data for you. No, I'm only kidding. The object of the exercise is to try and familiarise you with places that I know, so that you will find it easier to make more accurate links when you find individuals from different parishes getting married.
Kind Regards,
Tom.

Hello All,
Because of the search for the BURT's of Wemyss, I have suggested to you that it would make good sense to keep an eye on the neighbouring parishes. In my previous posting I made mention of Robert BURT and Agnes GOURLAY. Their son Robert BURT was christened on the 7th of January, 1683 at DYSART and their daughter MARY BURT was christened on the 21st September, 1679 at DYSART.
You will recall, I'm sure, that I mentioned that Dysart is frequently referred to as Coaltown of Dysart. That is only a very short distance from WEMYSS.
Kind Regards,
Tom.

Hello Tom,
Many thanks once again for all this extra advice and information.
With a bit of luck!! I'm hoping to attach the record (taken from The Old parish Registers)
for David Burt and Rosina Anderson's marriage proclamation in Abbotshall Fife.
It is taken from Scotlands People (online). The details on the record are as follows:
November 22 1782
David Burt in the Parish of Wemyss
and Rosina Anderson in this Parish
gave up their names to be proclaimed.
They were married December 5th.
The marriage was also proclaimed on November 23 1782 in Wemyss.
In this record Rosina is recorded as Rosy Anderson.

Hi Tom,
Using your method of searching I've found a double
registration in IGI for the marriage of John Burt of Dysart
to Margaret Salmond of Wemyss.
2. JOHN BURT - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 30 DEC 1742 Dysart, Fife, Scotland
3. JOHN BURT - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 30 DEC 1742 Wemyss, Fife, Scotland
It is possible that John Burt was born in Dysart.
Here is the record for a John Burt b1715.
6. JOHN BURT - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 25 SEP 1715 Dysart, Fife, Scotland.
Parents: John Burt and Margaret Lilly
Margaret Salmond was born in Wemyss in 1718.
Parents: David Salmond and Elspeth Bains.
Is it possible that my David Burt born 1750 was
named after his maternal grandfather David Salmond?
Cheers for now
Chris

Hi, I am looking for my Anderson family members born in Scotland.
My ancestor George Anderson married Mary Mackay Or Mackie on 20 May 1815 in St Cuthbert's, Midlothian,
Edinburgh, Scotland.
Children from this marriage were:
i. David Anderson was born on 7 January 1818 in Auchterderran. . Fife. Scotland.
ii. James Bayne Anderson was born on 15 May 1820 in Auchterderran. . Fife. Scotland.
iii. Alexander Anderson was born on 22 March 1824 at Abbotshall, , Fife, Scotland, was
christened on 18 April 1824 at Abbotshall, , Fife, Scotland, died on 21 March 1910 in District
Hospital Cowra, New South Wales, Australia at age 85, and was buried on 22 March 1910 in
Presbyterian Cemetery Cowra, New South Wales, Australia.
iv. Andrew Anderson was born on 13 February 1828 at Abbotshall, , Fife, Scotland and
died on 9 April 1891 in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland at age 63.
v. Moncrieff Anderson was born at Abbotshall, , Fife, Scotland and was christened on 14
August 1831 at Abbotshall, , Fife, Scotland.
Do you know if my Anderson's are connected to yours?
Thanks,

Hi Stephen,
Do you know who George Anderson's parents were? As you probably noticed I have John Anderson & Margaret Drummond as Rosina's parents.
Unfortunately I don't have any siblings recorded for Rosina Anderson. Her birth date and place are not confirmed yet I'm afraid (17 Sep 1765 Saint Cuthbert, Edinburgh). The Rosina Anderson above was the only likely candidate I could find who was around the right age to be the wife of David Burt.
Tommacgregor might be able to help - I know he most certainly helped me no end. You can send him a personal message through this thread if you wish.
Don't forget to let me know any details you have for George.
Cheers
Chris

Hi, .....don't yet know who the parents are?
I did some more digging today and found a little more info.
I think George was born abt 1792 in Auchterderran, FIFE and died possibly in Abbotshall, FIFE but date unknown.
His wife Mary also born in Auchterderran about 1796.
I hope this is usefull?
Thanks for any help.

Sorry to jump in on this one - I have been trying to find out about my great great great grandmother Margaret Burt (or possibly Burke). She is variously listed as Burt or Burke and Margaret or Janet! I have prevously posted so rather than type out it all again, can I point you to my posting? Thanks for any help.

UPDATE - I have found from a death record that she was definitely Margaret Burt daughter of John Burt and Elizabeth ms Chalmers.
