Looking for any information on the Anthony family from West Calder please
-
Hi Neil
It would help people trying to do any searches if you could just add a little bit more detail to the Anthony family that you are researching :) First names, est. birth years and family group that you are trying to find out more about will also help.

Thanks in advance

William Anthony m Agnes Samuel Sept 9 1780 in the parish of Livingston
He's my 5th Great Grandfather
What would you like to know and how are you related?
Cheers

Many thanks for the response. Here is my email: (*)
William Anthony/Agnes Samuel you mentioned is my 4th Great Grandfather/grnadmother. I am related through their son John b1785 who married Janet Aitken then through their son Gideon b 1825 who married Margaret Potter. Their son John "Thomas" (Tommy) married Margaret Ann Napier who had my Grandfather John (Jock) who married Jane Henderson. I am the son of their son Eugene.
I am looking for any information on William's parents. I have them as Michael Anthony - b1726 d1814 - married to Janet Kelly b 1733. This is all I have at this time. Any information you can assist with for Michael Anthony and perhaps his parents etc would be greatly appreciated. I have Janet Kelly's parents as possibly Andrew Kelly b1703 and Janet Nimmo but not sure on this as yet.
How are you connected yourself? I am willing to share any information I have with you

Hi,
Haven't been here for a while - 'real' life took over for a bit!
Starting to look at a different part of my family and came across this thread.
Michael Anthony, my 4x GGrandfather married Margaret Dobbie in Bathgate in 1820. A few of the names mentioned in this thread appear in Michael's family.
Can anyone connect my Michael to the family being discussed here?
Thanks in advance,
Kenny

Hi Kenny
Boo ;D Real life does take over sometimes as we know...but good to have you back!
Have you got an existing post on Michael Anthony here on RC that can be linked for background, or can you add some further details so that other people can see how Michael might connect?
Monica :)
-
Thanks for warm welcome back Monica,
No previous post on Michael.
I have him born approx 1811 (census records), marrying Margaret Dobbie on 16 Sep 1820 in Bathgate. Four children I know of - Margaret (1825), Isabella (abt 1836), William (abt 1843) and Helen (abt 1846).
Then found an OPR listing for a Michael Anthony for Mort Cloth payments in 1814 in Bathgate. This appears to link with Neil10's Michael born in 1726, died 1814.
So, I wondered if Neil10, Bodach and Inss03 had more that might tie my family to theirs? Timings may indicate that my Michael was a grandson of the Michael born 1726.
Always hoping!

Michael Anthony was my Great x3 Grandfather. Michael's son (from his second marriage to Elizabeth Dingwall) David b1853 is my connection. :)
I recognise a few names on this thread. I will try and have a look at my tree and see where they fit in.
-
Looked at my records. My 5xgreat grandparents are Michael Anthony and Janet Kelly. :) So there's a few of us here who have a connection.
William Anthony who married Agnes Samuel is my 5th Great Grand Uncle according to ancestry.com!
-
Thanks Iain,
So can you let me know how you get from 'our' Michael Anthony (married to Margaret Dobbie and Elizabeth Dingwall) to Michael Anthony and Janet Kelly - who was the male Anthony in between and his partner/children?
I can't seem to see all of the picture so far!

Certainly.
Our Michael Anthony was born in July 1800 in Bathgate parish. His parents were Michael Anthony born 11 August 1764 who was married to Christian Jean Young born 6 June 1768. Michael Anthony 1764 was the son of Michael Anthony born 1726 and Janet Kelly born 1733.

Thanks Iain,
That's allowed me to pull it together. Apart from Monica (as far as I know!) it means all contributors to this thread are related. As far as I can work out based on the info here;
Neil10 is my 6th cousin, once removed;
Bodach is my 5th cousin, twice removed and
IainW81 is my 4th cousin, once removed.
Can't tell yet what relation inss03 is.
I'll pm each of you with my Anthony line and would appreciate others doing the same.
Love it when things knit together - power of Rootschat!

Hi there cousins:
I am happy to share my information. Question - do any of you have a listing for the parents of Michael Anthony b 1726? I have hit a roadblock here
-
Hi
Neil. My father Gideon Anthony used to take us to Burntisland from West Calder to visit his relatives. He was the son of Gideon Anthony and Elizabeth Purdie. My great grandparents were Gideon Anthony born 1835 and Marion Young. They were married in 1862 in Ratho. I have Agnes Tait Anthony married to James Napier and Thomas Napier married to Mary Ann Napier. I thought they were the children of Gideon and Marion. Have I got it wrong? Thanks Jean
-
Sheena:
Here is what I currently have in my tree:
Gideon Anthony b 1825, d 1870 m to Margaret Potter b 1830 d 1897. I have their children listed as - John "Thomas" Anthony b 1865, John Anthony b 1864, Jane Anthony b 1867 and Janet Anthony b 1868.
I then have their son John "Thomas" (my great grandfather) b 1865 married to Margaret Ann Napier. I am assuming the Gideon you are referring to could be my Grandad's brother. I am showing him as b 1902 but have no further information listed at this time. Do you know the year your dad Gideon was born?
-
Hi Folks
Sorry I haven't contributed much to this, my daughter gets married in 2 weeks so I am either very busy or in hiding.
I had a quick look at this and probably shouldn't have. I am very confused now.
I have a John Anthony b 1821 marrying Christina Young Potter b 1820. Marriage date of 4 June 1843...
Neil has Gideon Anthony marrying Margaret Potter.
Sheena has a Gideon Anthony marrying Marion Young.
I knew I shouldn't have looked. I think I will go and hide again
-
This is probably two different Anthony families.
-
Hi They are 2 different families
My Gideon was born in West Calder in 1905. His father Gideon was born in 1880 in Livingston. His father was was also Gideon (born 1835 in Ecclesmachan who was married to Marion Young. His father was Thomas Anthony married to Barbara Thompson. Thomas died prior to 1851 in Corstorphine so I cannot prove it but I believe his parents were Gideon Anthony( Born 1792 in Livingston to William Anthony and Agnes Samuel.) and Janet Tripney. Neil I'll send you my research offline.
-
Hi All
You have got me started looking at my tree again and tonight I found some more Anthonys. You probably have this information but it was new to me.
I only had one son listed under William Anthony and Agnes Samuel, David Anthony b 1796.
Tonight I found Gideon b. 1792 Janet b 1880 Margaret b. 1883 John b. 1885 Agnes b. 1885

Hi Sheena - i agree with all you've said - you'll be my 5th cousin once removed then.
-
How do the Michael Anthonys connect to William Anthony b 1760ish who married Agnes Samuel in 1780 in the Parish of Livingston ????
Thanks
-
Hi Inss03
Sorry I can't help you. I haven't managed to find out anything past William Anthony and Agnes Samuel yet and still haven't come across a Michael Anthony, but I'm still looking.

IainW81 seemed to suggest that the Michael Anthony b1726 who married Janet Kelly was the father of William Anthony b1760 who married Agnes Samuel and also the father of Michael Anthony b 1764 who married Christian Jean Young.
This would make William and Michael brothers - but i was wondering if anyone had any proof of this?
The name Michael does not appear anywhere down Williams line.
Thanks

-
From a copy of a certificate included on an online tree:
William Anthony b 6/8/1761. Parents were Michael Anthony and Janet Kelly. Baptised Bathgate 16/8/1761.
Also just found a copy of a marriage certificate on the parish registers on another tree. Wm Anthony married Agnes Samuel in Livingston on 9/9/1780. (OPR Marriages 669/00 0020 0147 LIVINGSTON)
As this was taken from somebody else's tree, I'm not 100% on it being the right William in both cases, but thought I'd put it out there incase.
-
Thats what I put in the above post along with other Michael Anthony marriages and children.
I have a copy of the Marr cert from 9/9/1780 Livingston but so far haven't been able to confirm a d.o.b. for my William Anthony or Agnes Samuel or either of their parents names.
-

Hi Snuffles 101
Can I ask what information you have taking you from William Anthony and Agnes Samuel to the Michael and Janet. I too have details taking me back to William and Agnes but other than their marriage in 1780 I can't find any other details on them, i.e. birth or death dates. I did find a marriage between a Michael Anthony and Janet Kelly and one of their children was called William but up till now I cant find any proof that it is the same William Anthony that I am looking for.
Michael Anthony m Janet Kelly 29 Mar 1755 Bathgate, West Lothian, Scotland.
children....
Margaret 21 May 1758
Martha
William 16 Aug 1761
James 20 April 1777 Bathgate
Sarah 19 April 1767 Bathgate
Agnes 30 Sept 1769 Bathgate

hi Bodach,I have got a birth and baptism record for William that says his parents were Michael and Janet and if correct a death record that says he died 7/2/1837. As for Agnes,nothing except the marriage certificate either,though some of their children list them as the parents.Their son David's death certificate only states the Agnes died before 1863.Sorry I wasnt any more help as I'm not sure I have it right
cheers

Hi Snuffles
Well done on finding those records. I have found them a little tricky following this line with a little information here and a little there, never finding it all in the one place.
Keep diggin away and keep us posted as to how you get on please
