Hi Loves Loch Ness...

Richard Burnside is my Great Great Great Grandfather and I have the following information in my tree...

Richard Burnside (1855-1940) married Sarah Campbell (1860 - ?) on 31 October 1881 at Chester-Le Street Parish

They had a son William (1891 - 1968) who was born in Texas and dies in the UK.  William married Agnes McShane (1901 - 1963) on 5 August 1919 South Inch, Perth, Scotland.

They had 10 children...I have more information both regarding their children and grandchildren and Two generations before Richard.

If you think we may have the same family, let me know and I will be happy to share more? :)

Fife / Re: HELP! Sherriff/Westwater's in Fife

Forfarian - thank you so much!

I have some certificates printed, but not all.  To be honest I started this tree over ten years ago and didn't keep my records as well as I do now.  It was such a long time ago, that I've been working on different parts of the tree over the years and lost track.  I have visited the record hall in Edinburgh quite a few times, but will also have a look at downloading the information from that site - thanks :)

Also, I didn't know about the wildcards - so that is very useful. 

I'm off to try again!

Hi Annie

Thanks for getting back to me.

I have been trying all weekend to locate the DC and census records again, as I am assuming that's where I must have already gained some of the information but have had no success.  I'm just hitting a complete road block whatever I try with this little branch of the tree!

The children were born in the order of James, Margaret then John.  I've found some newspaper articles on them, but it's their parents and grandparents I'm having issues with.

Thanks, Aimie

Fife / HELP! Sherriff/Westwater's in Fife
« on: Tuesday 12 February 19 12:41 GMT (UK)  »
Hi - I have tried browsing the conversations already started, but have had no luck with the particular family members I'm looking for more information on. 

I am looking for more information on the Sherriff side of my family.  I have a James Sherriff (1818 - 1873) Dysart, Fife, marrying a Katherine Westwater (1823 - 1901) in 1846.  I have Katherine's parents as George Westwater and Margaret Knowles. 

James and Katherine had three children that I know of, James (1847 - 1926), Margaret (1849 - 1935) and John (1850 - 1945).

I have James parents as James Sherriff and Janet Wishart, but have no DOB or DOD and I'm also unable to go any further back. 

I'd really appreciate any help that is available as I am completely stuck!

Hi All

I know this post hasn't been commented on in quite a few years but I stumbled across this forum and seeing as I am completely stumped thought perhaps someone would be able to help?

I was  Sherriff before I got married and although my family tree has so far been based in Scotland I'm now stuck with the Sherriff line around the 1800's and cant seem to get any further back!  I'm assuming that as Sherriff (especially the way it's spelt) is unusual, perhaps my family originated in England and moved to Scotland?

My last known record is of a James Sherriff (1818 - 1873?) who married a Katherine Westwater in 1846 - they were based in Fife.  I have James father also as James Sherriff marrying a Janet Wishart but I can't get any further - no dates, nothing.

Any help would be majorly appreciated & if I'm thinking along the wrong lines just let me know. 

Thanks, Aimie
