Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Help with word/terminology -text now uploaded!

Thank you all so much for you help.

I agree it looks like Deans but it's drawing blanks in searches so thought I'd put it out there. Everything I've found relates a Margaret Caldwell and Fulton Knox. The dates all match, the census and the children. Its just this name Deans that doesn't fit. As for the other word, handsewer, would make sense. It is indeed that Flora Muir Campbell and I had traced her and her parents back but I was just curious as I can't trace the Marshall line back further with certainty and I just wondered if the word was something to do with the fact they seem to be unmarried. Just looking for clues. Flora Muir lived until she was 86 but he was already dead when their daughter was married. I guess some questions may never be answered :)

Hi I need help to decipher the word under a name. I don’t think it’s a maiden name as they usually start m.s. any ideas? Looks like Nandeserres? I can't find any record of marriage between them so not sure if that's relevant.

Also I can't read the maiden name of Margaret Knox, it looks like Deans?
Ayhelp greatly appreciated.

With high hopes, Elizabeth

Hello,

Are there any of my long-lost relatives still out there?? Jet Carson? I have also traced my tree back to John Knox and Elizabeth Barclay, married 1797. My line descends down via Fulton, then Robert, then to his daughter Maggie who then married a Robert Dawson. They were my g.g.granparents. Amazing. I would be very grateful if the posters above could share the knowledge they have about the Knox family. I can't get further back than 1797 but that's pretty good going!


With High hopes and kind regards,
Elizabeth
