Hi MonicaL
Thank you so much for your time and efforts.  I was excited to see your reply and found much to interest me - especially in the Family Search documents you kindly included.

Though I was keeping an open mind, your theory that the Janet Trueman born 1819 at Carriden may be the wrong one is supported by my research to date.
The Janet Trueman I think most likely to be my ancestor (referring to censuses) seems to be the Janet Trueman b1820/21 at Hillend Fife - though birth details remain elusive.  If correct, then she died at 4, Macintyre St. Glasgow in 1872.  As you say, I need to confirm her birth details,

I was also grateful for the link you provided to talkingscot forum.  I am new to this game but although his post was some time ago, I will try to contact mikokunsaki and also follow some of his pointers through the maze of possible Maiden Surnames - RUTHERFORD, DRUMMOND, ROXBURGH, MCkAY and POTTER for young Janet Trueman's mother!

Thanks again Monica

I am trying to confirm the maiden name of the mother of Janet Trueman (b 1820/21 Hillend Fifeshire).

I believe she married Thomas Trueman at Linlithgo 30th September 1820, but have her name variously as                
                                   Janet Rutherford
                                       "    Roxburgh
                                       "    Drummond
                                       "    Potter

I know thatJanet Trueman (1820/21) had 3 sisters Euphemia, Rachel and Margaret
She married twice:-
!st marriage to Robert Amos 1836 produced Jessie, Margaret, Helen Thomas
2nd marriage to John Steven 1852 produced Robert, Euphemia, Rachel.
............. but information before this is very hazy.

Hi down-under!

My friend bopsey posted a search for the parents of Michael McPake b. some time between 1801-1816 on my behalf.

Thank you so much for your sterling efforts in listing such detail.
 Although I had looked at all the censuses you list, I had only been tracing my direct line through

                      Lawrence Mc Pake b?......... (my GGGGf)
                      Michael Mc Pake b1802? 1807? 1812? 1816? IRELAND(my GGGf)
                      Michael McPake b 1846  Selkirk(my GGf)
                      Michael Mc Pake b 1874 Selkirk (my Gf)
                      Edward Mc Pake b 1894 Glasgow (my father)

so reading all your peripheral detail was of great interest.


I am still seeking information as to the date and exact whereabouts of the birth of Michael McPake b Ireland 1802 - 1816
......... and of his father Lawrence McPake


With reference to your 'probably not broker' theory relating to the 185I census, I believe this word to read 'barker' - which would be more in keeping with the profession of 'hawker' listed 10 year later.   (Given the unlikelihood of a dramatic downturn in the fortunes of the McPakes!) 
A barker seemingly rallied the crowds to come to the fair, circus etc., or vocally advertised various wares.

Thank you again ............ and happy hunting!
