Fife / Re: Tracing PHILP/PHILLIPS from Fife
« on: Sunday 22 September 13 12:34 BST (UK)  »
Hi again,
Have made quite a bit of headway since I was in here last (though I still have no idea about the 'Pringle' bit in James's name!!)
But our James Philp (b. 1836, in Ceres, Fife) was a son of James (b. 1804) & Elizabeth (nee Thomson) Philp.
Said James (snr) was the younger son of Michael & Margaret (nee Anderson)...they had married Dec 1801 & just had the 2 boys. Michael later though, went on to re-marry an Agnes Ness mid 1815...but am blowed if I can find any record of a death for Margaret!
Has anyone got any info, or bright ideas, that could help me out here please?
Thanks,
Yvonne

Fife / Re: Headstones In MARKINCH CEMETERIES

Hi again Norrie,
Thanks for getting back!
Margaret was originally an Anderson (parents William & *Margaret) She'd have only been about 37'ish when she died. Michael - her widow - went on to re-marry...& think continued living in the St Andrews /St Leonards area.
(Margaret's *mother was originally a 'Pringle' from Markinch)
Cheers again,
Jesszgran

Hiya,
Am looking for a Margaret Philp who was married to a Michael Philp. I see in Scotland's People there was a death for a Margaret Philp 23rd April, 1814, in Markinch...where I think her mother's  people had lived...though the Philps actually had lived in St Andrews & St Leonards..
I may be totally off beam, & barking up the wrong tree...but am wondering if you could check it out for me please...& see if the headstone can clarify anything here?!
Thanks lots...& cheers,
Jesszgran

Europe / Re: Robinspierre's in France
« on: Saturday 18 February 12 07:52 GMT (UK)  »
Hi! I had wondered about 'Robespierre' as had no luck with 'Robinspierre'! Am doing this area for my adult son whom we adopted at birth. He has had contact with his natural mother, & it was through her we discovered this french connection - on HER mother's side. As far back as she knows - after their name was anglicised to Robinson - her earliest ancestor was 'big' in the Wanganui Fire Brigade here in NZ. Through our historical BDM records & 'Papers Past' I have been able to get back to this Joseph William Robinson. His obituary in Papers Past validates (a) his connection with the Fire Brigade in Wanganui (where he was still living) & (b) his son (Sydney) from whom my son has descended! Said J W Robinson died - aged 57 - in 1884...which puts his birth around 1827. His wife was a Julia Ann (c. 1843 - 1886) I have discovered a later son of theirs who has 'Anson' as his middle name - which may (or may not!) be relevant!! There are no marriage records for them here...so am 'sorta stuck' at this stage! (According to Papers Past too, said JWR had lived in Wanganui for 19 years prior to his death...but he had lived in Dunedin previously...??for how long! Sadly I haven't been able to find any record of him arriving in NZ though, from any passenger list names!) So any other bright ideas please?

Europe / Robinspierre's in France
« on: Saturday 11 February 12 00:26 GMT (UK)  »
Descendants emigrated to NZ & changed their name to Robinson. In NZ can go back as far as a Joseph William 'Robinson' born around 1827 supposedly in France? Has anyone any bright ideas here please? Jesszgran

Ayrshire / Re: White/Fullerton from Girvan
« on: Wednesday 13 July 11 08:00 BST (UK)  »
Hiya,
That's how I got on to the Fullerton bit too, initially! My late husband's Grandfather had a brother with Fullerton as HIS middle name.
THEIR Grandmother (ie our GG Grandmother!) was an Anople McNider b. 1763 who married a Robert Fullerton (b around 1760) in Glasgow City – 8 August 1790.
Said Anople McNider was actually born in Girvan, Ayrshire...& after their marriage they came back to live there...all their children were born in Girvan too.
As I mentioned earlier though, the records show as Fumerton!!!
I haven't come across a Margaret...but we have descended from their daughter Anople Fullerton (b. 1804) whose siblings were:
1792 Susanna
1793 James
1795 Mary
1802 John
1809 William
Maybe your ancestor shares one of those sisters/brothers as either a parent (or even a grandparent??) I haven't investigated “sideways” yet...but you could maybe try down that track...who knows?!
Cheers again,
Jesszgran

Hi again,
And...yay...I think I'm on a roll after-all!
Suspect the Fullerton was copied down wrongly way back...so all the records in Scotland's People are showing up under Fumerton!! (Having a christian name like Anople didn't help either, as the spelling there varies untold!!)
Yes...we are now Whytes...but when this couple married it was actually White (& was so in the 1841 census...somewhere inbetween that, & the 1851 census, they changed the spelling!)
C heers again,
Jesszgran

Hi again,
Thanks for getting back here. Think I may have come across this before...but then had trouble verifying any birth for Anople (Annople) Fullerton through Scotland's People. Have only just come back to this area of our tree, after having let it "sit" for a while!
Will have another dabble in SP tomorrow night...but tonight it's gotten too late, & am off to bed in a mo!
Thanks again,
Jesszgran

Ayrshire / White/Fullerton from Girvan
« on: Monday 04 July 11 10:46 BST (UK)  »
Hiya,
My late husband's GG grandfather was a John Adams White (b. around 1802) who married an Anople Fullerton (b. around 1806) in Girvan, Ayr (June 1827)...but have hit a wall going any further back from here! (I suspect, too, that said Anople may not have been born Fullerton??!!)
One of their son's emigrated to NZ (Robert b.1831) ..& we have descended from him!
Is anyone able to help me out here, please?
Cheers,
Jesszgran
