Fife / Beveridges of Fife
« on: Monday 17 January 11 13:32 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find out more about Thomas Beveridge, my four times g grandfather. All I know he was born around 1800, probably in fife, he married Catherine Galloway in 1830 and had two children in Kinghorn Fife. His wife is listed as a widow on the 1851 census, and cannot find him on 1841. Thomas Beveridge was a merchant seaman, as was his son Henry.
I would love to know where he was born, and find out where he died, as I cannot find any death certificate either. It's possible he died at sea, but have found nothing like that, though maybe I have looked in the wrong places.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Fife / Re: Confused about Death Cert in 1896
« on: Monday 17 January 11 12:01 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I had a similar 'odd' cause of death listed on my gg grandfather's death certificate. He died in Newburgh, fife in December of 1896 and the cause was simply listed as 'alcoholism' - which I always thought a bit vague and not very medical like, he was only 57 and although that is a decent age for back then, his father lived into his 80's and died only a couple of years before. Strange.
Any thoughts most welcome!

Hi,
I have just signed up on here after finding a thread about my g grandfather's brother (Peter Mclaren) and his family, it was quite by chance after searching for one of the childrens names on google (unusual middle names are wonderful!) I have posted a reply to the thread and hope the poster of the messages will get back to me soon. I have being trying to trace Mclaren cousins for years and years! If they don't get back to me, is their any way moderators on this forum can pass on a message to my new cousin?
Thanks, and love the look of the forum, looking forward to contributing.
