Aberdeenshire / Re: Mary Jane Black born 1864
« on: Monday 12 November 12 22:46 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

yes he was with his family on the 1911 census and I have found out he had a farm in Fearn (Fern) in the late 1920s but it is from there that the trail goes cold.

Any help much appreciated


Thanks

Hi

I have a bit more detail from the 1901 census, they lived at 32 lilybank road in Dundee and Jemima had 2 sisters Jessie (13) and Helen (20) and a brother William (17).

If anyone has any information on what happened to these individuals including whether they married and had kids I would be most grateful.

Thanks

Aberdeenshire / Mary Jane Black born 1864
« on: Sunday 04 November 12 21:29 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I am trying to find out what happened to a Mary Jane Black born 5th Oct 1864, her parents were a William Black and Harriet Grdon. She was born in Foveran Aberdeenshire.

I know she married a James Duff Dawson and in the 1911 census it is showing they had a daughter Harriet Gordon Dawson. The reason I am trying to find out about Mary Jane is because I believe it may lead to find out what happened to her husband who I have been advised could well ahve been my grandfather as it is believed he may have had an affair with my grandmother, I don't know for certain as my dad's father was not named on his birth certificate.

James was born in Udny Aberdeenshire in 1871.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I am trying to find out what happened to a Harriet Gordon Dawson who emigrated to South Africa in 1930 and later married a Gert Diedericks Le Roux. I know they had 4 children but nothing more.

Thanks

Thanks

Hi my gt grandfather John Thomson Lamont married a Jemima Starchan around 1902 and then had 4/5 daughters (not exactly sure) one of which was a Christina Burness Gourlay Lamont. She was born 1908 and died in 1989. Christina was my grandmother however I never met her as she gave birth to my father out of wedlock and gave him up on birth, his father was not named on the birthe certificate. John Thomson's Lamont's parents were a Grace McFarlane and a Charles Lamont.

I have a tree on Genes Reunited although I am not a member at the moment. Does this ring any bells or confirm whether we are related.

Thanks
