Midlothian / Re: Dicksons of Aberdeen, Scotland

Hi Again Hume,  Because of the lack of any death time or certificate for George Dickson b 1760 I cannot determine with accuracy who his parents were (James b 1736?). My data is basically from other parties using Ancestry.com, using as many of the other family data as possible. Still, I realize it cannot take the place of hard data from death certificates.
Your right about the James and George connection and I don't have a lot of confidence at all that James is his father, but I have found on other lead and that's why my original question.
Yes, perhaps I should move over to the Mithlothian, Edinburgh site if I can locate it. Thanks again for all the help!-Dick

Hi Hume,  Many thanks for getting back to me. I have James Dickson b. 1736 Melrose, Roxburghshire perish, but no father or wife. He was the father of George Dickson b 1760 who married Anne Manners at the Tobooth-kirk perish. My ancestor was their son JOHN b. 1788-1888.
I have no information on James b 1736, No information on who his wife was and no death for George. Most all of my ancestors have been near the Edinburgh Midlothian area.
If you can help in any way it would sure be appreciated! Thanks, Dick Dickson

Hi All, I'm looking for the father of my ancestor George Dickson born 1760 and who was married to Anne Agnes Manners. I believe Georges father was a James born 1736, but not sure and have no wife for this James. I believe the perish would have been Roxbugh in Scotland. Any help would be appreciated!-Richard Dickson

Dumfriesshire / Re: Dickson Marriage in Caerlaverock 1768, where is Byers?

Hi Michael,  That John Dickson born 1846 or 1845 in some records was my Great Grandfather and he married Jane Robertson B. 1846. On my grandmother Foss side I was able to go way back from America to England to Denmark to a "Mikkel" b. 1511 who had a father named "Anders" who I do not have a birth date as yet. Also, on my wife's side, her father came down from the SARGENT'S in Nova Scotia and, even more amazing the BRUCE line going back to King Bruce in Scotland and a date of 1243.
I'm also wondering if, in your opinion, you might think Richard, husband of Elspeth may have come from a Irish line or if some of our ancestors came from Ireland? My E-mail is: (*)  I have seen your Dickson Tree and it is VERY impressive, good job and a lot of hard work. Aloha-Richard

Hi Michael,  Good to hear from you as we share 4G grandparent in Richard and Elspeth. I come down from the line of that JAMES b. 1769. He is often not listed in the children of Richard and Elspeth, but I believe should be in their line. From James there is John b.1814, then another John b. 1846, then John again b. 1867 who came to America and married  Mary Louise Foss (my grandparents). They had Robert Gordon my father. I believe I found Samuel while going through the Ancestry.com public ancestry lines. I'm fairly new to all this and appreciate all the research you have put into the Dickson line, its been a big help to me. Hopefully we can continue to trade notes in the future on the Dickson's. -Richard

Dumfriesshire / Samuel Dickson Grandfather of Elspeth
« on: Sunday 30 June 13 00:41 BST (UK)  »
My 4th Great Grandfather was Richard Dickson who married Elspeth abt 1768. I can't seem to make any headway on just who was Richards Father so have gone off on his wife's side.
Elspeth father seems to have been another Dickson (John) who married Agnes. Johns father seems to be Samuel who married Elizabeth abt 1700. Does anyone have any info on Samuel. I believe they lived in the Caerlaverock area of Scotland. Any information would be a big help. Thanks, Richard Dickson
