Post by: wightman on Thursday 25 March 10 13:41 GMT (UK)
Hi all,

Trying to trace a Jesse Wightman.  Probably born in Coldingham or surrounding area  b. 1822.  She was an aunt of Mark N Wightman b. Coldingham 1851 son of Robert Wightman b. 1811 Greenlaw.   She Married a Matthew Lee from Northumberland in 1852 & emigrated to Sacramento.  Their property was inherited by Mark on her death.  Is she a sister of Robert & who were her parents.   Many thanks for any help

Robert Wightman was chr 28/07/1810 Greenlaw, Berwickshire, Scotland. His parents were Robert Wightman and Janet Crawford. In the 1841 census Robert is living in Tynemouth, Northumberland, England with his sister Janet "Jessie" Wightman chr 30/07/1820 Edrom, Berwickshire, Scotland and Mark Wightman chr 10/06/1813 Greenlaw, Berwickshire, Scotland

Janet Crawford was chr 3 Aug 1785 Greenlaw, Berwickshire, Scotland, daughter of Mark Crawford and Agnes Aitchison (1749-1816). Janet was living in Hutton in 1841 with her daughter Charlotte

I have both Whitman and Gibsons on my tree from Coldingham and Berwickshire and also Midlothian, but do not have Timothy married to Jean!
There may be some connection somewhere.
My Great Grand Father was John Alexander GIBSON born 1850 died 1884 in Morpeth, Northumberland.
The Whiteman connection goes back to the early part of 19th Century, 1780s to 1850s
regards
John

A bit of a long shot perhaps but has anyone on this thread come across an Agnes Wightman born in England about 1795 who was married to James McFarlane; they lived in Lanarkshire. I can find no further information on her - no marriage date (perhaps in England?) and no date of death. Alex.

Hi JB,
I think it was John Wightman who married Elizabeth Hopper.
Timothy b. 6/12/1791 died 1830 in Dalkeith. Unmarried as far as I know.

It has been a long time but eventually you get round to looking at information that you collect , even from 5 years ago.
My connection is John Wightman (1789-1862) who married Elizabeth Hopper (1794 -1863), who was my 2 x grandfather's half-sister.
they shared the same father, Thomas Hopper 1754 - 1820.
Elizabeth's mother was Christian Matthewson c1760-1796, whilst Thomas's mother was Janet Middlemas 1765- ?
I am trying to fill in more of the Wightman family, so any info would be appreciated
regards
