Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: Lishman family
« on: Thursday 27 September 12 16:21 BST (UK) »
Hi, Hope I can help on this. I have researched this Lishman family extensively for many years and I believe that you are following the wrong family line. I disagree with the findings as follows.
1. There is no William Lishman born in 1887 with a father called Matthew born in 1850. (See the 1891-1911 censuses)
2. I have found no Matthew Lishman born in 1850 at all. (See the FreeBMD site).
3. The Matthew Lishman born in 1839 that other people have mentioned (2yrs old in the 1841 census) did not marry, or have any children.
4. There are also several other dates for the given people that are not correct. For example from the sites available online (backed up by family documentary evidence) William born in 1850 did not die in 1912. Also none of this Lishman family line married a Jessie McMenemy.
5. Therefore Margaret Maccaw Lishman and William Lishman born on 30-9-1887 are not related to Matthew Lishman born in 1805.
Before you go any further with your research I suggest you look at William Lishman born in 1887 again and that you try looking at the censuses to track down his family/the name of his father and go back from there.
I hope that this information helps as I do not wish to think of you wasting time on the wrong family line.
Best Wishes
