Hi Calmasis,  Sandra here again.  Just wondering what your connection to James and Mary are.  My father was Edward, the youngest.  I am going to look overseas for the marriage of George McIntosh and Annie Gold and will let you know if I find anything.  No stuff anywhere to confirm anything so far.

Happy looking,

Sandra

A bit more that I have found about the witnesses at James McIntosh and Mary McDonalds wedding.

In 1861 census Elgin Moray - a George McIntosh (age 66 - b1795) was living as brother-in-law.  Head being John Kay (age 69) and wife Ann Kay (age 70).  George's occupation was retired boat maker.

John Kay had a son Alexander Kay b 1816 who was a timber merchant.

I have George's parents listed as George McIntosh (1745-1818) and Margaret Campbell married in 1774.  This George could have died in the US.  I cannot find where I have the reference to where I got this information from, but it started with the 1861 census and went from there.  We could have lost a generation or two here.  Maybe there are some who went to US and then returned.

As James was a joiner and timber runs in the family, it could be something.
More as I sift through my notes.

Thanks, that could be it.  I was starting to look for name variants because the names and ages changed in the census.  I'll try that one.

Births September qtr 1884

Bertie Hawes H Andrews Dorchester  5a 344

Possibility that the H is for Hunt if Reuben was his father

EDIT - ignore - he died 1884

Thanks CaroleW

Still could have been the child of that family who died.  All bits of info are worth considering.

Dorset / Albert Edward Hunt born Poole bet 1884-87
« on: Saturday 15 February 14 00:57 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, I am looking for the birth of my grandfather Albert Edward Hunt.  Parents were Reuben Hunt b Huntington 1865 d Willesden 1935 and Julia Andrews b East Orchard 1865 d after 1935.  Julia and Reuben were married in Willesden in 1886.  Another hint is that it states that they lived in Willesden when they were married but another place that looks like Kilbourne has been crossed out.  This could be a hint as to where Albert was registered.  I have looked for Albert Edward under Andrews as well, but Albert Edward was a very popular name.  Albert had a sister Cecinia Daisy Hunt b 1888.

Alberts was one of 3 children, one of whom died according to the 1911 censes.  He was listed as Bertie in 1891 censes.  He married Annie Winifred Beeching in 1914 and was a window cleaner and in Middlesex 6th Regiment in WW1.  That's all I know about him, but after several attempts thinking I was on the right track, still got the wrong birth certificate.

So does anyone have any other ideas about how to narrow the search and get the right Albert Edward of Poole?

Thanks in advance

Sandra

Just looked at my research into James McIntosh and what I have been looking at is the Scotland census from 1871 to 1891 where there is a James listed as a grandson born about 1871 one lists him born in Archistown Morayshire, the others in Knockando Morayshire.  Grandparents were John and Anne and in 1881 lived at the Old Semeil.  By 1891 James occupation was sawmiller.  They were in Huntly Aberdeenshire.

There is also a James McIntosh in the 1891 Dundee Stobsmuir Censis with him listed as a visitor, birth date 1867, born Elgin Morayshire as a joiner.

Looking at the witnesses at his wedding, I found a William Fyfe at Lossiemouth, spouses name as Jane.  One of the witnesses was Jessie Kay Angus.  Could Jane be Jessie?  I have also found a Jane Ann Jessie Angus as a Proprioter and James McIntosh as a Tennant in the Valuation Rolls of Blairgowrie in 1875.

If he was bording and/or living with relatives, maybe his parents died very young.
That might give us a few more lines of enquiry.

Calmasis,  I have the same people in my tree and have hit the same brick wall.  James McIntosh from Elgin is my grandfather. just getting back into searching again after a break.  I have been told that there could be a link to George McIntosh in Lossiemouth.  But cannot find anything that I could confirm.  The next search that might reveal something is looking into the witnesses at James and Marys wedding.  I have to get back on Ancestry to find where I put them.  Will let you know if I come up with anything more.
