Anyone know Margaret Milne’s maiden name please?
Or who her husband was? Looks like she’s a widow here…
I’ve searched for birth / baptism records of all 9 others listed in this 1841 census to discover
parents’ names, none found so far. Would be so grateful if anyone can identify.
Slatybaulk was enumerated just before Swinewaird, so was possibly part of that croft.

You might have more success looking for deaths of the older children, in the hope that one or more survived after 1855, Hence giving you fathers name.
Also, failing that, using wildcards for the surname might help to cover similar sounding names such as Millen, Mullen etc.
Remember too, that ages over 15 in the 1841 census were often rounded to the nearest 5 so dob often not entirely accurate.

Just an afterthought, have you found any of the family in later census records? Might give slightly more accurate info on ages and places of birth and whether they survived.

Thanks Dave, cannot find them in later censuses either.
that's how I've hit a brick wall and posted here.
-
Having a look at census records just now - no luck so far.
Got bored not finding my own searches this afternoon so will give yours a try for a change of 'scenery'. :D
-
Nothing I can think of is helping. Frustrating that none of them seem to appear on other census records.
Do you have marriage or death of any of them? How do they relate to your line?
Must go make some food. Been on here longer than intended (not continuously looking for this family!).

I'm hoping a MILNE ancestor might see this message
-
Have you been directly in touch with any of the members on the SIT........ http://surname.rootschat.com/sit-surnames.php?letter=M&this_name=MILNE&lang=EN
Particularly perhaps, janglaschu ( http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=40431 ) who was online as recently as today and appears to have Milnes in Dunottar. She last commented on Milnes in that area in 2008 so may have made progress since then.
Good luck.

Given that no relationships are stated on the 1841 census, it's possible that this is more than one generation of a family especially as Margaret is enumerated as 55, so really 55-60 and Maria is 6 months.
There are entries for some of the family members in IGI extracted batch C112555 for Dunnottar
Alexander born 26/5/1814 son of Robert Milne & Margaret Grieve
Mary born 17/9/1822 baptised 4/10/1822 same parents
Robert born 31/7/1825 bp 18/8/1825 same parents
also these who aren't with the family in 1841
George born 21/3/1828, bp 18/4/1828
David born 24/5/1821, bp 9/6/1821
Robert Milne married Margaret Grieve 27/11/1809 Kinneff & Catterline batch M112624
possible baptism for Amelia in Dunnottar batch C112555
Amelia bp 18/4/1837 dau of Robert Carnegie & Jane Milne

Nice finds osprey.
I never even thought to look at LDS. ::) Concentrated too much on census.
Dave

think I've tried all the males on the census with no success. Pretty sure they're not in Dunnottar later, so moved or emigrated?
::)
-
Thanks for having a go, osprey. I found Robert Milne and Maragert Grieve too but not them...
yes could have emigrated - maybe Ontario, Canada... I did find this:
www.smeaton.org/Brough_Detailed_Genealogy.pdf page 52:
Ann Clark, Spinster; age 47, she was born at Galt. Her usual residence was Hamilton. Her parents were David Clark and Maria Milne, born in Scotland. The death was registered by Miss Frances E Clark, 360 Main St. E., Niece. She was buried at Hamilton Cemetery on June 23, 1923

what info do you have and what are you trying to find? I don't understand why are you dismissing Robert Milne & Margaret Grieve. The IGI records for their marriage and some of their children are extracted ones.
???

Years later I have FOUND them :-)
Margaret Milne at the top of the census was Margaret GRIEVE widow of Robert Milne who died some years previously in Durris. I've now tracked down most of these people in this 1841 census at Slatybaulk, Dunnottar, Kincardineshire. They emigrated to Burritt, Winnebago and several can be found in the 1850 USA Census Illinois. One of my elderly Scottish relatives has a trace of shared DNA with one of them. If you believe you are related to them private message me. I am still researching and checking data but may be able to help. Thanks to all those here who tried to assist my search to identify.
