Hi everyone,

Thanks for all your input.

Wendy2305 - Having checked the 1901 and 1911 Censuses my G Grandmother Annie Salmond Gellatly (MS Geekie) was still married on the 1901 Census but classed as a Widow on the 1911 Census. James Gellatly was a Jute Mill Overseer.

Forfarian - You are correct, it was my G G Grandfather's Baptism and not his Birth that was 14/8/1836. His parents were David and Margaret Imrie married in Errol on 7/11/1845 and my G G Grandmother, Jessie Muir's parents were David and Christina Ferguson, marriage location unknown. On their MC it has James as a Gallelty, and his father was a Gellatly.

MonicaL - Yes that is my information as well.

Jack Gee - No we do not have any connections...sorry.


Once again thanks for all the interest.

Hi Mike,

Just wondering if you managed to source any information on the Gellatly's that I posted back in Jan '08

Cheers

Hi there everyone,

I am looking for any help to trace these two, they are my maternal gt gt gt grandparents and the only thing I know about them is from LDS website that they were married in Forfar Angus Scotland on February 2nd  1840

Cant find any birth cert, marriage certs OR death certs.......I am assuming of course that they both were born in Scotland although that may not be the case!!

I would apreciate any help at all


Thanks in anticipation

Gordon

Hi there everyone,

I have been away on holiday for a few days but there has been something niggling at the back of my mind about Agnes Rea.

Kathleen,
You stated at the beginning that Agnes Rea had the following children

DAVID, b. 1821;  JANE, b. 1825;
WILLIAM, b. Dec 17, 1833;  ALEXANDER, b. 1835;  JOHN, b. 1838;  GEORGE, B. 1841, all in Forfar area.


then later on Monica stated that

In respect of Agnes and William Johnston's children, going by the OPR entries to parents with those names, there are probably a few more children than show above following their marriage in 1814. A few early deaths of children would account for the use of the name again for a subsequent child:

1. MARGARET JOHNSON Birth: 04 FEB 1815/ Christening: 06 FEB 1815 Forfar, Angus, Scotland
2. BELL JOHNSON  Christening: 07 JAN 1821 Kirriemuir, Angus, Scotland
3. ELIZABETH JOHNSON Birth: 29 DEC 1822/ Christening: 04 JAN 1823 Kinnettles, Angus, Scotland
4. DAVID JOHNSTON Birth: 07 MAR 1825/ Christening: 15 MAR 1825 Forfar, Angus, Scotland
5. ANN JOHNSTON Birth: 27 MAR 1827/ Christening: 01 APR 1827 Forfar, Angus, Scotland
6. DAVID JOHNSON Birth: 21 MAR 1829Christening: 29 MAR 1829 Forfar, Angus, Scotland
7. JAMES ERSKINE JOHNSTON Birth: 24 MAY 1831/ Christening: 05 JUN 1831 Forfar, Angus, Scotland
8. WILLIAM JOHNSTON Birth: 17 SEP 1833/ Christening: 25 SEP 1833 Forfar, Angus, Scotland
9. ALEXR. JOHNSTON Birth: 01 MAR 1836/ Christening: 20 MAR 1836 Forfar, Angus, Scotland

the confusion arises with one William born on 17th December 1833 and another William born on 17th September 1833.

Now since I started my family tree, I have been going down the 17th September 1833 dateline.

A substantial amount of information which came from a granddaughter of James Johnston who was William and Isabella Johnstons sixth(?) child (born 1866)

And to that extent (my gg grandmother) Agnes Rea was born in March 1783

What confuses me even more now, is that she (Agnes) would be 53 when she had her last child??

I will contact my other informant and ask if she can assist me with my confusion

Any help would be gratefully received.

Cheers,

Gordon
