Kinross-shire / Re: Mary or possibley Marion Barclay
« on: Monday 30 November 15 12:46 GMT (UK)  »
Hi LizD,

Thomas Reid, born 11th May 1839 to David Reid & Mary Barclay, Portmoak. Kinross,
was the informant on David Reid’s D.C.

The posting of May 21st 2013 declares “Thomas”.
The posting of October 13th 2015 declares “Andrew”

May I ask why a later change to name of informant on David Reid’s D.C. of 1864?

Angus (Forfarshire) / Re: Cruikshank graves at Stracathro, Angus, LOOKUP please

You are welcome. Considering the distance you are from Stracathro, I
post an overall view of the Church. The grave stone photo is the one at the
base of the right hand window. There is no evidence of a stone being in
place prior to this one.

Grave Stone, carved from Aberdeen Granite, though relatively recently erected
(1918) the inscriptions are difficult to read. However, I have transcribed in full, I
believe incorrectly.

Ayrshire / Re: Elizabeth Bain/Bone her birth record
« on: Wednesday 22 April 15 10:03 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for that "ancestorsnoop",

The details held on that "Ancestry" tree in first paragraph of your reply match my particular search details regarding Elizabeth Bain/Bone. The birth date record of Elizabeth Bain/Bone are of interest, and news.

John McGee died 1888 & his age is given on D.C. as 60 (as GR2 said possibility of recorded age incorrect). Elizabeth Bain/Bone died in 1908. The informant on both D.C. was son in law Hugh
Conroy (I believe married Sarah McG).

The link referred to regarding 1861 census. The mentioned child "Andrew" aged (2) must have died
not long after census was taken. His recorded birth 23 Oct 1858, Muirkirk. Ayrshire.  In 1863 Andrew McGee, in district of Goven,Lanark, was born to John McGee and Elizabeth Bone. B.C. confirms marriage date of parents is consistent.

Birth record of Elizabeth Bain/Bone a further research project.

Thanks again

Ayrshire / Elizabeth Bain/Bone her birth record
« on: Tuesday 21 April 15 09:50 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

Looking for help with finding birth record of Elizabeth Bain/Bone; according to declaration on census
born Ayrshire.  Her recorded/declared age on D.C. of 1908 was 77, which would give her birth year of 1831. However. The only recorded births, that I have found, for Elizabeth Bone are these two; Elizabeth Bone, Christning place Maybole, Ayrshire, 29 Nov 1831. Parents William Bone & Marion Fergusson. The other Elizabeth Bone born St Quivox & Newton,Ayrshire on 8th May 1831. Parents James Bone & Agnes Mclean, Neither of which is the Elizabeth Bain/Bone I am searching for as her parents are recorded as Richard Bain (Furnaceman) & Catherine Murphy. There of course may not be a recorded record of precise date of birth, but any help would be appreciated, or indeed any information regarding her parents.

Thanks

Whaap

James Reid & Christian Anderson.
Within the census records for the three declared family members of the
couple, i.e., David, William & Mary, [are these the only children born to
this couple?]though the age birth and place is stated I can only find one
birth recorded; that of David Reid. Not unusual, but is his birth being
recorded twice?
•   David Reid, Birth recorded as 3rd June 1846 to James Reid
        & Christian Anderson, Dull, Perth.
•   David Reid, Birth recorded 16th June 1846 to James Reid
        & Christian Anderson, Fortingall, Perth.
If the same couple what is the logical reason? The first obvious thought
was that there were two James Reid & Christian Anderson.
The point does not affect the final outcome concluded, i.e. James Reid’s recorded
death and origins. Curious though. Any thoughts out there? :-\

Thanks

The previous three postings were comprehensive

Jean Brown ( wife of Henry Reid, 1779, married 1810, Fossaway & Tulliebole, her age
32, his age 31.

Parents of Jean Brown, born 1778 Kinross Kinross-Shire= Andrew Brown
                                                                                   Margaret Drummond

I've tried to connect the Henry Reid & Jean Brown line to William Reid & Jean Paton line, but
so far failed.

I am the first to admit that that could all change in the turn of a page.

Ontario Canada, Kaladar Burial Records (Municipal)

Reid, James, Aged 84, April 6th 1897 = this would make his birth 1813
Reid, Margaret, Aged 81, March 23rd 1897 = this would make her birth 1816

Is there any Records/documentation tying up this couple with
the David Reid & Marion Barclay, recorded in Portmoak, Kinross-Shire?

I throw this out there to any and all.

Thanks
