fyi
I have updated FamilySearch Family Tree with the BMD information from this thread. I would welcome any collaborative help and comments over there.

More interesting information:
Hélène Marguerite Bartholomei married Jean Gabriel Chaâles des Etangs 26 Feb 1896 in Paris.
They had a child Andrée Marie Chaâles des Etangs.
She married Louis Andre Thebaud, American businessman, sportsman and philanthropist in the Gilded Age, who was 38 years her senior, so the family was still moving in rarefied circles.

Glad to hear that someone is out there.
I see from another thread that Braindead did get Michel's will, but not much detail given.
An extra piece that I picked up that wasn't in the thread was in the England and Wales National Probate Calendar under Frances Mary Bartholomei.
She died 18 June 1884 at 20 Mariannen Gasse, Vienna, Austria.
She had been living at 101Tverskoy Boulevard in Moscow which is shown as Michel's address.

I have been fascinated by this thread.
I hope that you are still active.
I research all Broadwoods and because of that I was aware of the marriage of Charles Hamilton Broadwood to Mary (Ann/Louisa) Short, but knew nothing of her subsequent life.
I have recently been collaborating with a descendant of the Short family and that got me looking again at Mary Ann Short. I am fascinated by all her possible aliases.

Do you have any new information that is not in the thread.
For instance I believe that I have a record of her death.
I hope to hear from you.

Lanarkshire / Re: Wiston & Roberton burials?
« on: Wednesday 05 May 10 04:57 BST (UK)  »
Dinarina, I don't quite understand what you are saying.
I am looking at the book "Monumental Inscriptions (Pre-1855) In The Upper Ward of Lanarkshire"
by Shiela A. Scott.

It shows that in the Roberton Cemetery there are 6 headstones containing Hamilton and 1 Gall.

In Wiston there are 4 Hamiltons.

Janine, some more information.

They had children WILLIAM b 1850 and James Anderson
JAMES ANDERSON married ISABELLA DUNCAN and had children
JAMES, WILLIAM DUNCAN, JOHN, EUPHEMIA LAMOND and GEORGE DUNCAN.

All the upper case people were living next door to Peter Rae and Isabella Scott on the 1891 census.

Janine,

I research all Braidwoods, so I will try to help.

In my files I have your Janet as the daughter of John Braidwood and Jean Millar.

I realise that her death registration shows her mother as Margaret Millar, but I have to assume that that is incorrect, as it often was. The witness was Peter Rae and you would think that he would know the name of his grandmother, but it wasn't always the case.

There is no record of a John Braidwood marrying a Margaret Millar. A John Broadwood married a Margaret Miller, but that was in 1754 and can be discounted.

There is no record of John Braidwood marrying Jean Millar either, but there are records of them having seven children between 1809 and 1819, the first four in Carnwath and the last three in Larbert.
John Braidwood then remarried Jean Bell in 1822 in Larbert and had another nine children, all born in Larbert.

John and many of his children are buried in Larbert West Kirkyard.

A John Braidwood did marry an Elizabeth Millar in 1795 in Inchture, Perthshire. Maybe she died and he married her sister as often happened.

I'll keep looking and advise if I find anything else.

David Braidwood
