Yokerbrian,

Sadly he was married in Middlesex- England, and only his fathers name is on the certificate with occupation.

regards

Thank's for the reply,

That's the problem, what I mentioned is all I know, with the name of the mother of John I just might have been able to progress a little further.

Lanarkshire / James Roberts (Shipbuilder)
« on: Tuesday 26 January 10 16:42 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

Is there anybody out there researching a James Roberts who's occupation was a shipbuilder on the
Clyde in the late 1800's.

I realise that the term shipbuilder could mean riviter or plater and so on, and that Roberts is a very common name.

He had a son John born <1897> but there is nothing I can find in the 1901 census about this event.
The birth year was obtained from John's marraige certificate in 26/01/1938, his age at the date of the marraige was 40 thereby <1897> is the closest I can get.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

John.

Kincardineshire / Re: ARBERTHANY-Kincardineshire

Steve.

The death of James Robert on 20/07/1833 could fit in with other births of siblings, and with the will being 39 pages long he must have had a few pennies to share out.

The John Taylor I'm seeking had a wife Jane Forbes, but again the age is about right, and to have 2 servants an a daughter named Christian all at the same time seems abit over the top.

Thanks for your help.

John.

Chasing a will just might give me an answer, thats if they were flush enough to leave one.

Thanks Steve for your input.

Charles Roberts without the 's' was noted in my research.

Alot of Robert's added an 's' to their name so I think it is only to be expected.

I'm still not sure of the Aberthany part though.

regards

John

Kincardineshire / ARBERTHANY-Kincardineshire
« on: Thursday 21 January 10 11:31 GMT (UK)  »
Is there anyone out there that can shed some light on Arberthany-Kincardineshire.?
A relative, John Roberts born about 1800 gave this as his place of birth, and oddly enough his wife Jane Taylor also gave it as her place of birth.
I have been informed that it could have been a farm.
His father James Roberts and her father John Taylor were both farmers, maybe on the same farm.
I have been searching high and low but to no avail, any information would be welcome.

Thank you,
John.

A relative gave his place of birth in <1800> as Arberthany-Kincardineshire.

After exhaustive searches I found that I have no idea where this place is.
But I have recently been informed that it could have been the name of a farm.
James Roberts (farmer) and wife Forbes Mitchell had 3 children, Charles Roberts (b) <1797> Kinneff. Margaret Roberts (b) <1807> Kinneff and John Roberts (b) 1800 Arberthany.?

John Taylor (farmer) marries Jane Forbes and has 1 child, Jane (b) <1800>.
John Roberts marries Jane Taylor <1828> and Jane also gives her place of birth as Arberthany.?

If it Arberthany was a farm then it could be possible that both familys lived there.

Is there any one out there that just might be able to shed some light on this conundrum.

Many thanks
John.
