Scotland / Re: wannan or wannen (formerly censuses in scotland)

Hi
just read your mail that makes us cousins of a sort, my grandad was alexander wannan, elder son of Alexander Wannan and Christina McNoughton, who are you related to in that family? Interesting to hear about the rumour that they came from holland, I often wondered if it was something like that.
hope to hear from you

Scotabroad, I am not sure if your mother is still alive as you haven't given any dates, so same rules apply here.

Nice to hear from you, for the moment I don't know who this Georgina Hepburn is but you will find John aged 60 and Alexander aged 25 living under the name of Wannen in Kemback in the 1861 census. Which branch of the family is the person you are looking with?
best regards

Just another quick update, had an email from my 'cousin', he has a family bible, which was given to John Wannan married to Margaret Rodger in which certain things were written
my father died in 1826 aged 52.
This confirms the death of Alexander Wannan in Kemback in 1826, and the age would make him born about 1774, which would only be two years out.

Hello again everybody, a little twist in the story. I was on a website, where a distant relative, we had the same great great grandfather.
Now his tree was the same as mine up until Alexander Wannan married to Janet Mcintosh in Coupar Angus in 1798.
But then he matched a different person.
He matched with a
John Wannan married to jean Brown in Cargill in 1765.
Their children are the following
George born 1766
John born 1770
Alexander 1772 (the name has been written as Wanan and no mother mentioned)
Elizabeth 1775
Walter 1777
Margaret born 1780.

John Wannan married to Jean Brown, could be the son of George Wannan and Janet Corse married in Cargill and Inchture (there are two entries in 1739)

I think I already went down this waywhen I first started, but at that time I didn't know about the scottish naming traditions, in fact I only learnt about that last week from the site, and it could explain that John was the eldest son of Alexander Wannan and janet  Mcintosh.

more food for thought.

Hello everyone,
a little update of information, of course for the moment I have no definite proof of the link,
but on looking at the birth certificate of
Alexander Wannan born on 16.12.72 in Dundee, son of Alexander Wannan (weaver) and Margaret Kennedie and countersigned by a certain Alexander Wannan great uncle. 

On the death certificate of the Alexander Wannan who died in Kembeck in 1826, it's written Alexander Wannan from Blebo Mills, is it possible that a workforce list exists for this mill?
I don't really know where to go forward from here?
thanks once again for all the help given
