Aberdeenshire / Re: John Smith - where was he from?

It's "in ye Wind Mill Brea". In terms of the city today, Windmill Brae runs from the Green up to Crown Street.

Here it is on a 1789 map: https://maps.nls.uk/view/74400007

Thank you, GR2.

And thanks too for the link to the old map.

Aberdeenshire / John Smith - where was he from?
« on: Tuesday 05 August 25 13:35 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

Wondering, please, if anyone can help decipher where John Smith stayed in Aberdeen?

The attached extract is from the Old Parish Baptism records of Old Machar Parish in 1781 -

Third line down  - Smith - John Smith in ?????????? had Lewis bapts on 9th.

It looks very much like the same place as William Glennie on the first line - but I can't work that one out either.

Hoping maybe local knowledge might come up trumps.

Thank you.

Looby :)

I think we have found the correct mother it's the father Jacob Owens that's the problem .Obviously never been a marriage and nothing matching on census records for him  ???

It is odd that there are two Jacob Owens in Kilmarnock  - Jacob was not such a common name and Jacob Owens is even more uncommon. 
The two Jacobs are too young at 12 on1841 Census to be putative fathers.
One of the Jacob's is recorded as being 24 on 1851 Census - the other is 23.

Does William Owens marry Barbara Ross at the same place and on the same day as his mother  Agnes Kennedy Richmond marries Hugh Laurie?

24th February 1860?

Looby

Apologies - Brain was frazzled  :o
It is indeed Barbara Richmond that William Owens marries on 24/2/1860
And Agnes Richmond marries Hugh Laurie on the same day at same place.

Looby

His marriage was the same residence as Agnes Kennedy Richmond ( mother )
And it was Barbara Richmond he married

William gives his age as 19 when he marries in Feb 1860.
If this age is correct he would not have been born until sometime after Feb 1841. He might not have been born until after the 1841 Census which could explain why he can't be found on it .
How consistent is he with ages on Censuses?

There is an Agnes Richmond aged 15 employed as a female servant at Low Armsheugh ( a farm I suspect) in Irvine on 1841 Census. ( Her age may have been rounded down as many were on the 1841)
James and Agnes Wyllie ( spelt with 2 L's) are at Cotton Row, Irvine on the 1851 Census - Agnes's place of birth is Symington, Ayrshire. Agnes is recorded as 27 years old. James is 40.

William Owens is aged 11 at Kilmaurs on  1851 Census  but in fact he is living at the village of Crosshouse in Kilmaurs Parish.

This means Agnes could have been around 15/16 years old when she gave birth.

Ayrshire / Re: William Jamieson, Spirit Merchant, Kilbirnie Station
« on: Saturday 29 July 23 23:13 BST (UK)  »
Sarah Jamieson's children were in the Dalry & Kilbirnie area until they died. Robert Riddet looks to have died in 1876. Sarah Jamieson/Riddet probably died pre. 1855. They were all alive and in the area when William Jamieson died - good possibility one of them was the informant on his death cerificate. 



RIDDET  WILLIAM   24  JAMIESON       M      1874     596 / 83 KILBIRNIE
RIDDET   SARAH     31  JAMIESON       F       1878     587 / 112  DALRY (AYR)
RIDDET   ROBERT    75   BIGGART       M      1876      587 / 61   DALRY (AYR)

It makes you pay for 30 credits though which I don't need and I have wasted a lot of money on this website in the past.  Why they can't have had a monthly subscription like other sites.


I'm afraid to access William Jamieson's death certificate to see what information has been given by the informant of his death, someone has to buy credits.

His death certificate, may have his parents' names recorded, if the informant knew that info.
