Perthshire / Listed surname for previously married woman 1600s
« on: Tuesday 14 January 25 19:28 GMT (UK) »
The OPR commonly recorded a woman's maiden surname in marriage and baptism records. Can anyone tell me if there was a usual practice in the 1600s and 1700s for how women's surnames were recorded when a woman had been married previously?
For instance, if Elspeth Toschach first married Donald Conachar, then later married his brother John, would she likely have been listed in the records of her children with John as Elspeth Toschach or Elspeth Conachar?
I know we cannot know for sure in any use case, I'm just trying to get a sense of how parishes handled this. I run into it occasionally and it would be helpful to know. Thanks!

Armed Forces / Re: Chattam Barracks
« on: Thursday 25 August 22 21:15 BST (UK) »There were a lot more than Royal Marines stationed in Chatham where there wer a number of different barracks. In 1841it was the depot of 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 9th, 17th, 18th, 21st, 22nd, 26th, 28th, 33rd and another 13 Regiments of Foot. There would have been small numbers of men from all of those there.

I know it's been a while since the above response was posted, but I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm trying to find a reliable online source showing the locations of the 33rd Regiment of Foot between 1826-1845. I've sniffed around at links on other RootsChat threads about the 33rd, but haven't found anything other than a rough sketch or links that are broken. Thanks!

Perthshire / Re: Findynate in Logierait Parish, Perthshire.

Hello, Colin -
My gr gr grandfather was Donald MacDonald, son of Jannet Connacher and James McDonald. My grandfather, Thomas Nicol MacDonald, was the son of Donald's son Daniel. I came across the posts here while searching for information on Meikle Findynate.
I saw that you offered to share with one of the other posters here some of the records you've found on ScotlandsPeople. If you have anything for James and Jannet or sons, I'd be very interested and willing to share the papers I have -- most of what I have is related to Donald and his offspring.
Thank you!
