Thanks Mary.  I've contacted Merilyn P. - she put me in contact with one of my mother's first cousins several years ago which is a pretty wonderful thing.  I'm transcribing Garvald OPRs and see Alexander's name popping up everywhere as witness but haven't found a definite birth for him (in that area anyway).  Cheers Ruth

Alexander was born about 1721 and died 1801  aged 80 in Garvald and is buried there.  His first wife was Janet Harley.  Perhaps a bit early?  Cheers Ruth

Angus (Forfarshire) / 1851/61 Census : CANT Janet Hogg (or Jessie)
« on: Friday 26 August 05 03:13 BST (UK)  »
I'm hoping it's possible to find my husband's g. grandmother on the above census please.  In 1841 Janet Hogg CANT was aged 6 (ie born  1834 St Vigeans) and living with her parents Thomas and Margaret in Grange of Conon St Vigeans.  Her siblings William, Mary, Susan, Elizabeth and Margaret were linen hand loom weavers.  Later in her life she was known as Jessie CANT.  She also had a brother John b. 1835.

She came to Australia in 1869 aged 35 and married her first cousin once removed William CANT.  I have to write something for local historical society and wondered what she was doing before she came to Australia.  I guess she probably followed in the footsteps of the rest of her family.

Cheers Ruth

« on: Saturday 16 July 05 02:39 BST (UK)  »
I'm hoping Frances might be able to check the above index for my GOODMAN family please.  In 1841 they were living in West Ham - Plaistow Ward - Greengate Street and were market gardeners.  I've added 10 years onto their ages.

Charles 48 (he'd possibly died)
Louisa 44
Louisa 26 (most likely married)
William 23
Richard 18 (my g. grandfather)
Sophia 16
Charles 14
Robert 12
Mary 1-2

Many thanks, Ruth
