I would be interested in exchanging information, although I am not sure how much I have.  My connection is through my wife who is the granddaughter of Alexander Bashall Dawson.  ABD married (2) MARGARET EDITH ROBERTSON Abt. 1933, daughter of JAMES ROBINSON (or ROBERTSON) and ETHEL MCCALMONT.  She was born January 26, 1889, and died January 14, 1980 in Alameda, California.

Miska,

Thank you for the posting.  My main Morison is Alexander Morison (1825-1902) who married Frances McKell Dawson (1847-?) at Greenpark (a large house by St Magdalenes Brewery, Linlithgow) on Sept 26 1889.  Owing to the age of the bride I suspect that there were no children, but I don't know, so any help appreciated.

Les, thanks for the posting.  I don't recognise the names, sorry.

Don't you hate it when someone replies to their own messages!

What I meant to put was that the DAWSONs were at Misbourne House next door and moved  to the Vache, and were at the Vache until the 1950s when it was sold to the Coal Board.

<<I am trying to locate any manorial documents for The Vache that he may have owned. >>

I will have to check who lived where for you.  The Vache was the family home of the DAWSONs from the mid 1920s to the 1950s when it was sold to the coal board on the death of Alexander Bashall DAWSON.  There are also family connections with Misbourne House next door.  The majority of the DAWSONs' papers and items of historical interest from the Vache are in loan to the Buckinghamshire Museum, although the last time that I contacted them they were unable to find them!
Alexander Bashall DAWSON's second wife was Margaret Robertson (or Robinson).

Hi

I have connections with the PIPEs from Framlington.  They start with a William Pipe (b abt 1611), next is William Pipe (b abt 1649 in Saxtead and died in Framlington), a couple fo generations on John Wilgress Pipe (baptised at Framlington in 1751) had a daughter Mary Wilgress Pipe (b abt 1785 in Monk Soham).  Is this the same Mary Pipe?

Wow!  Thank you the extra information  and so fast!  The passenger information is very useful as it gives the place of birth.  All I need to find now is the actual record!

The relationships are not straightforward and it has been taking a while to sort out.  I can't find them on the censuses which is puzzling.

I would like some help if possible to find out some more about this couple. 

James Shaw Robertson was born about Feb 1st 1855 (family records) and died at The Vache, Chalfont St Giles, on 25th December 1940.

He was married to Ethel Elizabeth McCalmont born August 9th 1862 (family records) and who died at The Vache on May 17th 1837.

I can't find birth records for either or marriage details.  My guess would be a marriage around 1888 as there was a daughter born Jan 26th 1889 (family records), but again I can't find a birth record.

I also can't find them on the 1901 census 8-((

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I see yours is an old posting; just in case you are still looking I have a few EASTMENTs from Hardington Mandeville.
