East Lothian (Haddingtonshire) / Re: Beaumont family tree
« on: Wednesday 03 July 19 04:26 BST (UK)  »
Hello everyone,
I've been absent from my researching and I'm now back. Recently I found the Gardener called John Beaumont who I believe is the father of Margaret Beamont who gave birth to Andrew Burnside in 1839. There's not a lot of people with the surname Beaumont or Beamont in Haddingtonshire at that time. I went to Haddington last year but never made it to the John Gray Museum which at 4-PM closes.
It was interesting to see John Beaumont's neighbor was a painter called James Burns! If he is the son of Gilbert Burns that makes him the nephew of Robert Burns. I believe Burnside was sometimes shortened to Burns. Would the name Beaumont be shortened?
I now have a good excuse to visit Haddington again.

My Grandmother was Elizabeth Burnside born about 1898 in Haddington. I'm told that Burns is a short version of Burnside like Ron is short for Ronald. When her Grandmother was married in 1866 and Catherine Burnside was on documents as her Mother. I believe Catherine was really a God Mother. When the Grandmother died her mothers name was Mary.
One of Elizabeth Burnsides sisters married a Hood and migrated to Australia before WW2.
I haven't read all the posts yet but thanks for posting!!

I'm back researching and have discovered I have the wrong Beamont. Margaret Beamont became Margaret Gowans and Margaret Murray Beamont can't be my ancestor. Her son was Andrew Burnside (my Great Grandfather) and she may have married more than twice.

Thanks again, I have a relative in Scotland that I believe has done a family tree. There's a Beamont link but ill health has distanced the connection. I'll keep trying.

Thanks Eileen, the Margaret Murray Beamont mentioned by Archie is my 2xGreat Grandmother! Did George (born 1818) have a brother called James? I hope to get into some research next week.

Hi Eileen and Archie, My mother was Elizabeth Reynolds and her mother was Elizabeth Burnside who was born and married in Haddington. They migrated to Australia in 1949 and Margaret Murray Beamont is a greater grand mother. This information is interesting.
