Once again I'm looking for some help with this Anderson family please. I am more than happy to purchase records, if any are found.
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01tra/
As mentioned in #5 of this thread, the eldest child of William and Mary was Jessie born around 1880-1946. The query is really about who has signed their name and was present at her death.
Added: I've just noticed that Jessie is recorded at her death as aged 56 when she should in fact be 66.
I have Jessie in the 1881, 1891 & 1911 census. Can’t find her in the 1901 or the 1921 in Scotland or England.
On 1st June 1910 at 21 Lothian Road, Edinburgh she married Wright Sugden 1882-1924. He was born Salford, Manchester but appears to have then moved to London as a child. In the 1911c, he is lodging or renting with a family called Reynolds in West Hampstead and shown as married. Jessie is at her parent’s home at 49 Falcon Gardens, Morningside, Edinburgh and shown as married under 1 year.
There is a WW1 Medal Card for Wright on Ancestry, but I can’t find any other records. Wright died on 23rd January 1924 at the Hospital of St John & St Elizabeth in London aged 41. CoD 1. Lobar pneumonia 7 days 2. Heart Failure 2 days. Usual address is 22 Achilles Rd, West Hampstead. Present at the death is a G Anderson of 53 Mill Lane, West Hampstead. I have no idea if that was a medical person or possibly one of Jessie’s side.
The 1935 Evaluation Roll has Jessie as a Grocer with an address of 85 Albert Street, Leith, Edinburgh.
She died 2nd April 1946 at 53 Durham Square, Portobello. Present was a Mr Young, Nephew of the same address.
Could this be a child of sister Margaret and her husband 'John Walter Young' whom you found out so much about in the thread. I can’t find a likely birth in Scotland/England/Ontario but maybe someone else will have better luck.
Margaret may have been looking after a child in Edinburgh whilst her husband was serving in WW1 and I noted in the Army paperwork that he sent money to his Father in Law William Anderson. Was that to support a wife and child?
There is always the possibility that the nephew was from Jessie’s husband’s side I suppose.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Death notice in newspaper only mentions two sisters, Mary and Jean, also of 53 Durham Square, Portobello.
Was there anyhing of note in the Register of Corrected Entries?

The Scotsman of 28/1/1924 has an entry for the death of Wright Sugden at a nursing home in London. It notes he was the son-in-law of a William Anderson, 49 Falcon Gardens, Edinburgh.

I have no idea how to access that but it might be something to do with the initial issue I had when ordering the image on the website. It came up with a completely different page and I then had to submit a request for the correct one. How do I go about getting that?

As far as the website goes, there is only access to 1940 and Jessie wasn't on that only the 1935.
Edited: I only accessed the Valuation Rolls. Not sure how to look at the Electoral Registers. Is that also via ScotlandsPeople, or another source.

I was given that snippet of info from a kind person who was researching the family because they thought the Mother, Mary Scott (1854-1920) was their kin. That wasn't the case but they passed on the research they had. Kit
-
I'm looking to get Jessie's Will but will have to book a slot at Register House, Princes St/Waterloo Place which is only 5 minutes from my work. Can I access the Register of Corrected Entries at the same time I wonder?
Thank you so much for the information on Mary and Jean. So, they were at the same address in 1946.
Mary died 15 May 1955 at Leith Hospital. Jean was married to James Kirk Wilkie, who was the informant on Mary's death. He may have died in Cuckfield, Sussex in 1968. I don't yet have a death for Jean. It's a work in progress.
The property (on google street map) doesn't look that big to accommodate all of those people in 1946 to be honest. Jessie, Jean and husband James, Mary and this 'Mr Young'?
-
I have been thinking Mr Young might be J. F. A. Young
So then I thought the F might be Forsyth (as per the grandfather) and A might be for Anderson.
However it hasn’t helped.
-
I too have been considering that Mr Young has 3 initials. The second one requires him to go beyond the confines of the line where a letter would naturally sit, but to loop beneath (as in the Y and g). I was thinking more F. J. A? Appreciate your thoughts. Its definitely YOUNG though.
-
Hi, is it just an x, as in sign here? It is in a different gand to the rest of the document.
A J A Young dies in Musselburgh a few years later.

Hello David,
Sorry for the delayed response.
AJA Young? I shall look on SP. Can you provide a year that you think he is found?
Thanks for your thoughts and happy to purchase. I'll go and take a look too.

What a load of responses since I could last log in. Thank you all so much.
Starting with the most recent. PatLac Jane/Jean was born 27 Sept 1886 at 72 Douglas Place, GALASHIELS Selkirkshire Scotland.

Wilcoxon, again, thanks for all of that info. It'll take me a while to put it all into context and find out who Stanley was. You've certainly given me lots to work on and I'll need to digest it all and buy certificates and give it all some consideration this weekend.
I don't know how you all manage to find these snippets but I wish I was as good.

Hi Kit,
First I thought that Jean/Jane was the same person, but when I looked at James Kirk Wilkie's DOB (1895) I thought Jean Dobson could be another daughter born later on, after George. Is this the wrong James Kirk Wilkie or was she 9 years older than him?

Death notice in the Scotsman recorded Stanley's parents as the late Mr & Mrs J. W. D. Young, 95 Harrison Road, Edinburgh. He was apparently a laundry proprietor (likely Braid Laundry).

I
wonder if John Walter Young (aka Walter John Jeanes) could have remarried after Margaret's death in 1917? If he did and had children, one of them would be a candidate for Jessie's nephew. The problem is where did he go after he returned from Canada? I see in his military files that the intended place (after discharge) was 49 Falcon Gardens, Edinburgh. Is there any evidence of him in Scotland after his discharge? I know he wouldn't be her true nephew, but..
I don't have access to Ancestry, have you checked a James Anderson Young, born in Ontario in the "Ontario, Canada Births, 1832-1917 Birth, baptism & christening" collection? (narrowing down the DOB it seems he was born in 1915)
Maybe he is the reason why Margaret returned to Scotland and why her father was his guardian.

Need to go and sit in a darkened room now. I'm not very technical at the best of times.
Hopefully 1921 census showing Jean/Jane her sister Mary and father Wm. His age is correct but both Jean and Mary have shaved years off theirs. Wonder who provided the information?
-
Probably because she was older than her husband?

I'm envious of you all who can work through information methodically. However, please keep these thoughts/finds coming :)
Kit
-
Haha no worries, I'm more obsessed than methodical :o
-
From Ancestry - Births County of Dundas/Division Mountain 1915 Birth registration for James Anderson Young so they definitely had a child soon after marriage.
What great people you all are ;D
-
So... he is Jessie Sudgen's nephew who was the informant of her death. How exciting :D
Now I want to know what happened to John Walter Young ;D
-
I don't want to get too excited but ...... YES? However, finding him from 1915 onward will be a task. I'll need all the help I can get so keep delving into the records for me. At least we appear to have his movements in 1960 (although that was after Jessie had died)
Kit
-
I'm sure he is her nephew and informant of her death, but I'll keep looking for him and his father. Do you think John Walter has remarried?
-
Unfortunately, I haven't a clue. He could be anywhere after his discharge. Did he come for James or did he let the Anderson side look after him. He wasn't with them at 49 Falcon Gardens in the 1921c.
I wonder if he eventually ended up with Aunt Ella in South Africa. She married Harold Damant Atherstone in Feb 1915 Edinburgh (I must request another copy of the certificate as its pretty awful) and died 1942 Dunlop House, Port Alfred, Eastern Cape, South Africa.
I've now booked a seat at the ScotlandPeople Centre for mid May. That should give me time to get all of my ducks in a row. Will also need to enquire about Wills and get that sorted at the same time. I'd like to find William Anderson's from 1924 and Jessie Sugden, maybe others also.

Not the Anderson side as far as my research has gone. I can't identify which Mary Scott the mother is (and I'm not alone in that) so there may be a connection on the Scott side.

Oh, I didn't know that, thank you. Do you know if the newspaper article was right? That both William and Mary were from Selkirkshire?
-
Just in case you missed it, I added a little to my previous post about Walter and Jessie.
As I can't be sure of a birth for Mary Scott abt 1854, census say Selkirk. William Forsyth Anderson was born to George and Margaret Rutherford 1 Feb 1854 before Statutory Registration. He was baptised at the same time as his elder brother James (b1851). George was a Mason of Dunsdalehaugh, Selkirk.

I'm a little confused now, is John Walter Young the same person as John Young who married Margaret Anderson in Canada and the father of James Anderson Young.
-
Unless you think differently. I posted an image at #43 (which now says is too big to upload!) James Anderson Young was born at Inkerman, Dundas to parents John Young and Margaret Anderson.
The military records show that John Young was sending money back to William Anderson at 49 Falcon Gardens where his wife Margaret had been living and passed away in 1919. Was that for the upkeep of a child?
Any differing views would be welcome as there are only snippets of info.

I think this is absolutely correct. That's why they wrote the word Guardian after 'Dependent' because her father was the guardian of John Walter Young's son (his dependent after his wife's death), James Anderson Young.

So this means that Mary Scott was born around 1854 hence why her birth is not in the Statutory records, and the church records are not complete. The only child of Walter and Jessie that I could find is Thomas.
Jessie Scott was registered Jessy... and her mother Jean Young was sometimes called Jane and Janet Young... and her father was... Walter Scott, same name as her husband. No wonder you found it confusing ;D

The end column on her death record gives the following. Pity about the ink blotches. Looks like a Mary born 1851 and possibly died and then a Mary born sometime later, which I would presume to be the future wife of William Anderson.

Wilcoxon, thanks for pulling all of that together. Yes, I think he is the same man and I'm very grateful to you and others for thinking out of the box with him. He changed his name to Young, married again (presume bigamy) and had a child with Margaret Anderson.
If I could only follow their child James Anderson Young from birth to death with certainty, that would be so helpful.
Maybe DNA will help eventually. Also, stories passed on to children. Maybe Ella to her's, whose birth dates are around that time and a little beyond.

PatLac, you asked where Ella's middle names might have come from. After further research I can confirm that Brown is included on the Anderson side. Ella's Grandmother, Margaret Rutherford's parents were Andrew Rutherford and Mary Brown. Not found a Burns connection yet tho.

Kit,
Do you have these Censuses from ScotlandsPeople?

And these

Did you know abouth son John?
And James?

Kit,

Hi, I have the transcript from Ancestry only. I've spent a lot of money on credits from SP for the Scott family and they are not my bloodline. The 'John' is actually 'Jane'.

And these
I had purchased this census from SP.

Walter 24 Brother Mason

I thought John could have been one the twins? It's odd that the entry is M (male).

Not aware of a James although I can see you've found a birth record. I'll look again for the family in 1861 but by then both parents have died.

He was born in May and his mother died in October 1855.
Back to your DNA line... Do you know if Jessie Anderson had a second forename?
-
Agree but Jane was born 1849 and survived. She isn't shown on that census image you provided and there are 4 children born by then who survive for further years.

I think we're both right, because there is a John age 4 on the 1841 census, and other Scotts probably Walter or Jessie's relatives.

No record, Birth, census, marriage or death that I have accessed show a second forename.

Interesting, because all her siblings had a second and Ella a third forename.
-
Do you think these Anderson are related, regarding Dobson surname and Jean's second forename?
Image is of death records
-
Dobson comes from Jean (Jane) Dobson abt 1783 - 20 Sept 1872 who was William Forsyth Anderson's Grandmother. She married his Grandfather John Anderson abt 1776 - 13 Oct 1849 at Selkirk 1 June 1804.
Edit: Just changed John's year of birth from 1876 to 1776!

Hi Wilcoxon, just to mention, I'm not really chasing the Scott line as they are not mine (actually my husband's) blood line. I was only providing the info I had (or found) as Mary Scott married William Forsyth Anderson, who was a younger brother to my husband's 2 GGF James Anderson 1851-1924. I won't be spending any more money/credits on the Scott family.
Thanks so much for contributing so far though. Everyone is spending a lot of time and effort on this quest. Maybe I should start a new thread on the Nephew of Jessie Sugden (nee Anderson) James Anderson Young who I'd be very interested to know more about.

Good idea, and don't forget to add COMPLETED or ✅ to this thread (edited) and add a link of this thread to the new thread.

I agree, a lot has been found, but best to concentrate on the important task. :)

Maybe start by tracking census records for these couples?

I hope you'll join in the search again on the new thread. Thanks for all your help so far and enjoy your week.
