you will find John aged 60 and Alexander aged 25 living under the name of Wannen in Kemback in the 1861 census.

I can't find this, was it on Scotlands people? I've been using the transcribed census on ancestry and the only one I can find that could be him is the one with Georgina Hepburn listed as his Daughter. :)

Thank you for letting me know my mistake  :)
I know my Mum would love to hear any Wannan stories you know even just rumors she didn't know the Wannan side of her family as her grandparents separated. her Father used to say that the Wannans owed mines in kemback. I see miners on the census but not mine owners. stories about people bring them alive  :)

Hi I'm researching for my Partners step Mum. John Wannan is her 2nd Great Grandfather connected like this:

John Wannan (1800 -1872 )
has son
Peter Wilson Wannan (1847 - 1910)
has daughter
Nancy (Agnes) Farmer Wannan (1879 - 1946)
has son
Alexander Mercer (1908 - 1982)
has Daughter (*)

are you related to one of John Wannans children to?
I have a tree for them on Ancestry.com which I could share with you if you use ancestry. (*) will be pleased to hear Ive found someone else reseaching the Wannans. :)

Hi

I found this conversation while searching the Wannan name. I am also researching this tree :). I am researching on behalf of a Wannan who must be a relation of yours scotabroad :)
anyway I was wondering who is Georgina Hepburn born 1855 and listed as John Wannans(b1806) daughter in the 1861 census I believe its the same John wannan who married Margaret Roger and was living with her in 1851 census. but in 1861 Margaret is head of her family without john or eldest son Alexander and John and Alexander have  acquired  a six year old Georgina Hepburn. I don't think john is her father because the only birth for a Georgina Hepburn I found in 1855 lists David W Hepburn as her Father and Margaret Morgan as her Mother. so whats Georgina Hepburns connection to the Wannans? I know I got sidetracked but it puzzled me :) and I wondered if you had wondered about it to. anyway happy researching all the information you and other have posted about the Wannans has been very helpful. thanks
