Aberdeenshire / Re: tracking down Aberdeen warhero relatives Sgt J.B.Lamont
« on: Friday 21 February 20 16:20 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone. I’ve been searching for this branch of the family for years. Joseph Ballard Lamont junior would have been a first cousin of my mother. Thanks for sharing all the info however I hadn’t seen that death certificate before. I thought Raymond the younger son would have been the informer . Will be looking into this as I have photos of Raymond and the father in the 1950s. Thanks again for the info. ....And thanks for sharing about Joseph Ballard Lamont.

Aberdeenshire / Re: GEORGE WALKER Where art thou?
« on: Sunday 23 July 06 18:48 BST (UK)  »
Dear Strachan, Gadget and anyone else interested in this thread.
 I’ve recently acquired some more information about my great grandfather George Walker.
The birth of his illegitimate son James in April 1896 was made a declaration of court in August 1896, which lists George’s address as 90 John Street, Aberdeen.

Aberdeen District - Old Machar Parish
County of Aberdeen
In the Fourth Column of Entry No 676 in the Register Book of Births for the year 1896 before the name of the Child's mother insert George Walker, Slater on the authority of a Certificate in the form of Schedule (Y) to the following effect.
      In an Action relating to the paternity of a Male child born 21st April 1896 at the instance of Mrs Eliza ? Hardie or Paterson, Widow  123 Huntly Street, Aberdeen against George Walker, Slater of 90 John Street Aberdeen the Sheriff of Aberdeen, Kincardine and Banff on the 19th August 1896 found that the said child was the illegitimate child of the parties aforesaid.       
              August 26th 1896 at Aberdeen

               James Weston       Registrar

           I have also discovered another illegitimate child, born several years earlier to a MARY BROWN (who was b.11-Jan-1859 in KEIG and died on 15-Jan-1903 at Royal Infirmary, St Nicholas, ABERDEEN) named GEORGINA BROWN or THOMSON, b.6-Jun-1890 at Roy's Property, INSCH.
GEORGINA BROWN or THOMSON shows up on the 1901 census of Inverurie, as living with her grandmother, Jane or Jean Fyfe.

The  1901 Scotland Census:
Registration District 204, Enumeration District 4, Page 22
119 Sephook Place, Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
2 rooms with one or more Windows
WALKER, Jane, Head, Married, Female, 60, born Kincardineshire Banchory Ternan
WALKER, Mary A., Daur, Single, Female, 26, General Domestic Serv, born Aberdeenshire Inverurie
THOMSON, Georgina, Grand Daur, Female, 10, Scholar, born Aberdeenshire Insch
SOUTER, John, Boarder, Single, Male, 18, Carpenter‚s Apprentice, Worker, born Aberdeenshire Monymusk

This doesn't actually confirm that George is Georgina's father, but just that Jane FYFE is her grandmother, however, GEORGINA BROWN or THOMSON’S 1909 marriage certificate claims that GEORGE WALKER, a slater (Jour.) is her father.
             If this is the same GEORGE WALKER who was the father of my grandfather James, then he’s a bit of a character!
His parental family were:
JOSEPH WALKER married JANE (JEAN) FYFE on 5-Jun-1852 at Chapel of Garioch, KINTORE, ABERDEEN
Children: The children of Joseph Walker and Jane Fyfe:
    1.  i.   DAVID WALKER b.14-Apr-1853 in INVERURIE, ABERDEEN
    2.  ii.  JAMES WALKER b.10-Apr-1855 in INVERURIE, ABERDEEN
    3.  iii. WILLIAM WALKER b.7-Jan-1857 in INVERURIE, ABERDEEN
    4.  iv. JESSIE WALKER b.13-Apr-1859 in INVERURIE, ABERDEEN
    5.  v.  JANE DAVIDSON WALKER b.19-Jul-1864 in INVERURIE, ABERDEEN
    6. vi.  ROBERT WALKER b.18-Jul-1865 in INVERURIE, ABERDEEN
+ 7.  vii. GEORGE WALKER b.22-Dec-1868 in INVERURIE, ABERDEEN
    8. viii. MARY ANN WALKER b.29-Jul-1871 in INVERURIE, ABERDEEN

Gadget, I did actually download several censi 1891 and 1901 and have narrowed it down, by age to about 8 George Walkers, however only one is a ‘stonecutter’ and he is about 10 years too old and none of them were from Inverurie. If you like, I could send them separately?

If anyone could find any more info of the above it would be greatly appreciated.

Regards all,

Julia Thompson

Angus (Forfarshire) / Joseph SPANKIE/Rescobie, Angus
« on: Sunday 29 January 06 18:58 GMT (UK)  »
JOSEPH SPANKIE  A farmer, cattleman & powerloam weaver b.abt.1811 at RESCOBIE, MONTROSE,  prev. FORFAR (Derived from 1861+ 1871 censi)Still alive in 1891 Census/d. by 1907/Margaret’s death
Parents:

1.JOSEPH SPANKIE b.abt.1811, in RESCOBIE, MONTROSE, ANGUS, he married CLEMENTINA LOW, a yarn winder, who was b. abt.1811 in RESCOMBIE, ANGUS-age given on 1841 Census as 30-(a daughter of JAMES LOW, a linen weaver, & SUSAN LOW m/s HOWIE). She d.30-Jun-1863 in FORFAR, aged 52 years.
Hi,
Can anyone out there shine some light on Joseph Spankie, a farmer, cattleman & powerloam weaver  born abt. 1811 in RESCOBIE, former MONTROSE/FORFAR, who married Clementina Low 7th Feb 1836 in Forfar, Angus?
I'm at a brick wall here and cannot find his parents names, since I only have a marriage entry for him.
JOSEPH SPANKIE married CLEMENTINA LOW on 7 FEB 1836 at FORFAR, ANGUS.
The Forfar 1841 census shows his wife Clementina, and their 3 children Margaret, Jane and John but no Joseph.
Joseph shows up in 1863 on Clementina’s death cert as witness
He appears on the 1891 Census,Dundee St Mary's, aged 80, living with his daughter MARGARET ROBB , who is married to DAVID ROBB.
Perhaps a death certificate would reveal his parents names? Does anyone have a death entry for him?
Best regards,
Julia
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Aberdeenshire / GEORGE WALKER Where art thou?
« on: Tuesday 07 June 05 11:20 BST (UK)  »
SEARCHING for a GEORGE WALKER
Hi,
I have a James Walker (Grandfather), who was the illegitimate son of a George Walker. James Walker was born on 21st April at 123 Huntly Street, Old Machar, Aberdeen, as James Hardie or Paterson (Illegitimate).
His mother, Elizabeth Ann White Hardie, was a Widow of William Paterson Cab-Driver, who died in Aberdeen (Old Marchar) 30th October 1892.
I have 3 children to Elizabeth & William Paterson on the 1891 census, they are Annie (S?) 8 yrs, Agnes J 6yrs, & Jane L 4 yrs.
Sometime between James' birth in April 1896 and Betsy's second marriage (to a James Reid) in October 1896, there was a paternity suite and GEORGE WALKER, a slater, was names as James' natural father.
I'm now searching for this George Walker, the slater. He may have been married to someone else at the time of James' birth, as James' mother Betsy then married James Reid and perhaps changed his name to James Paterson Reid, which is the name he is known by at the time of his first marriage in 1916 (to Elsie Jane Adams). However, on his daughter's birth certificate in 1932, he is known as James Reid Walker!

I am also searching for the birth of Annie (S) Paterson,(b. abt.1883) daughter of Betsy White Hardie & William Paterson.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Julia (Thompson)
