Looking for information about this family, starting with Frederick Augustus HAVILAND (b.abt.1822, Lanarkshire) who married Margaret Nightingale, 1844 Liverpool. All their children b in Dollar. One of their sons is called GEORGE WOODNORTH HAVILAND, and I am wondering how the name Woodnorth got into the family. The Woodnorths were a Shropshire/Cheshire family. There is a rather obscure connection in that George was a lithographer, & partner in the firm of Aitken & Farie in Glasgow, & in South Shields, Durham, a John WOODNOT(H) =m= Mary Farie in 1692: they had a son, Farie Woodnot/noth, 1692. Nothing more known.
Can anybody help? Nowecious.

According to the census returns after 1851 Frederick & Margaret were both born in England. By 1861 there are 2 children born in Kirkintilloch, Dunbartonshire and 4 in Dollar, Clackmannanshire. Frederick is an Officer Of Inland Revenue Excise Branch. By 1891 Frederick is a widower, living with son George a Stationer in Lanarkshire.

Thank you to all who replied to my query. So Fred'k was not a true blue Scot after all. :-[
Briefly:.......Susanna Robina (née Carr) Nightingale was the 2nd wife of Peter WOODNORTH (b.Cheshire), of Whitehaven Pottery, Cumberland. He sold out of the pottery & moved to Liverpool & took over her trunk & Venetian Blind business when they married. Peter's son George (1st Mate on a ship) & Susanna's dtr Jane got married in London (maybe they eloped??) and had dtr Robina Carr Woodnorth, who marr Samuel KELLY (Liverpool Irish?). George came ashore & managed a branch of the family business in L'pool. In 1851 George & Jane are on their own: In 1861, Jane(16) is up in Logie, Perthshire, with the Haviland family, and George W Haviland(15) is down in Liverpool listed as a 'grandson' of Susanna, along with 2 of Peter's grandsons.
Re the will - I wondered if it was George W's sister Margaret who was the beneficiary. Steel(e) & Hall were names of neighbours of the family in Cheshire, and also involved in the evangelical religious movements of the time. Margaret could have married & been widowed & remarried.... but I am not going to wade into all that line!
Thanks again for all the replies.

Correction : it was young Robina up in Scotland (not Jane) in 1861. Sorry.
