Thanks Bill,
                 I'm pretty sure that this fits into the family structure. Will check and plug it into where-ever it needs to go.

Again, Thanks for the information.
Cheers

Hi Fizzy,
             Thank you very much for the information on Mary. I think I've been down the track of the 1716 Mary and seemed to run into a bit of a dead end. But I have not been down the Sampson and Judith path. I will certainly look into this line and see where it leads me.
Basically, it is the missing piece in my outline puzzle presently before I start digging for more information on the bits I have acquired.

Again, thank you for you reply and I will post my findings back here.

Cheers

Hi all,
        I'm in search for information in relation to the Beveridge Family that has most of it's roots in and around Dalgetty, Fordell and to some extent Dunfermline. I have managed to gather a fair bit of information,though not extensive on the family history or tree in this area and have all the information of when my branch of the Beveridge family emmigrated out to Australia in the mid 1850's. I'm now tracing back from this time. I know that the arm of the Beveridge's were coalminers or associated with the mines as some of my ancestors had dealings with the Donibristle mines. I'm now after any information that can help in tracking down the following part of the family, James Beveridge b. abt 1675 and married a Catharine Paton b. abt 1675. They would have married around late 1690's or 1700 as the first of their two children James was born in 1700 and his brother John born abt 1705 both at Coaltown of Fordell. I'm after more accurate birth dates for all 4 of these people and if possible dates of their deaths.
Also, while I'm at it I might as well seek some possible information (if anyone has this) on Dorothea or Dorothy Williamson who married James Beveridge (above) at Dalgetty in 1725 and was born in Jan 1698. And finally, any information relating to a Margaret Grieve that married into the Beveridge Family (Walter Beveridge b.Jun 1776)around 1803 at Dalgetty. Margaret was born 24 Oct 1776. I would like to find out if Margaret was anyway related to the Grieve family, who owned the Donibristle mines.
Any help is appreciated
Cheers

G'Day,
          That was quick with a reply, didn't think I would be replying so soon after posting something.
To answer your questions, this is the point were I run into trouble and conflicting information regarding children and the number within the family. As far as the birth of Alexander, it was about 08-10, it could have been earlier or later but just outside these years. One bit of information has him in 1807 and another has him 1811. But some records from Scotlands People ties Alexander done to the earlier more than the latter. Also, going by another record I can narrow done some information as to the Children of Alexander and Janet.
According to the 1841 Scottish Census their children were Walter (1st born Son) and Ina (2nd born dau) but when you look at the 1851 Census it is different with more children and a different list of Children. Still Walter is the 1st born son but from this census there is NO 2nd born daughter. There appears only one Daught named and that even differs from 1841.
For example 1841 lists Children as Walter, Lillie, Ina and Thomas. Were as 1851 list as Walter, John, Thomas, Margaret, Alexander, George and David. Now, I have a record that states their son Alexander was born or baptised 17/04/1846 with Parents named as Alexander and Janet. also on Walter's Death Certificate (Australia) parents named as Alexander and Janet and Alexander's occupation was Mine Manager.
So to answer your questions was a little long winded but had to be put in writing so even I could follow what I'm answering.

Regards
Camdenite.
