Dumfriesshire / Re: Early Annan Census - look up offer

Thanks, Cupcake...
Actually, Lawson was her married name. On her marriage record to John Lawson, Jenet's name is recorded as Faulder. This tripped me up for a bit, but I have managed to find both marriage records and the birth records of four sons - two from each marriage.

Thanks for the early census info. Is there someplace I could purchase the transcripts?

Hello again, Cupcake.

May I take you up on the offer to look at the early Annan censuses? I am fairly certain the death info you gave me on Richard Irving (d. 1835) is for "my" Richard.

Now I am on to looking for his parents. Since Richard married on 22 Sep 1820, I would expect to find him with his wife Jane/Jean/Jannet in the 1821 census. (There should also be two sons from a previous marriage to Mr. Lawson, and possibly a baby boy, Robert, born 22 Mar 1821).

According to Scottish naming patterns, I think his father may have been Robert...I am guessing that Richard was born about 1791, but that is only a guess!

If you could have a look at the early Annan censuses and let me know if there is anything there, I'd really appreciate it. And perhaps next time you are at the Annan cemetery, you could see if Richard Irving is buried there.

I can't thank you enough for all you do!

Hello Cupcake,

I am looking for the death record of a Richard Irving of Annan. Born about 1791 and died sometime between 1823 and 1841. I have located his marriage record in Annan (1820) and the birth records for his two sons - (1821 and 1823). He may have been a mariner or a shipbuilder, as his sons had connections to the sea. In the 1841 census, his wife appears with their two sons and two sons from her first marriage, but I cannot locate him in the 1841 census.
