Kirkcudbrightshire / Re: McCoskry's Rhonehouse (Keltonhill)

My 5th GG Father was Samuel McCoskery, his grand-daughter Mary Coskery in turn had a daughter Anne who married James Coupland (b c. 1829, Kirkmahoe) so seems possible that with both Couplands and McKoskerys there may be a link to your own tree.  I'm not currently subscribed to Ancestry, but planning to in near future so perhaps once I have looked at your tree I'll be back in touch.

Angus,

Was there a connection to Gadgets Samual McCoskery d. 1797 in reply #5 to those you were researching?

Welcome Kevin,

There was an Alexander Baxter b c. 1773 at 2 South Square in the 1851 census & Baxters at the same address at least until 1901.

Hi All! I have just stumbled across this site whilst googling Fittie as I try to piece together my family tree - I'm so glad to find so many of you who may be able to help!

My direct line is Walker, but also have the names Guyan, Masson, Baxter, Caie and a few other mixed in there, but all Harbour Pilots/whitefisher etc from Pilot Sq, North/South Sq etc.

I would love to hear from anyone who has info on these families and the Fittie area...I find it all v intriguing!!

:)

Hi zephyrcat,

Just the five surnames you mention represent about a third of all families in Fittee from 1841 to 1901, the Baxters being the largest in number throughout the period. Since well over 600 people lived in the Squares this equates to quite a few possibilities. Some families occur at the same address for generations, although there was a bit of movement within the squares and with marriages between members of different families. 

It certainly is an interesting community!

Buckinghamshire Lookup Requests / Re: William Adams in Chesham
« on: Thursday 21 August 08 22:03 BST (UK)  »
Hi Dahlia,

Did you eventually find William?

I'm actually looking for James Nutt Adams, or more specifically possible links to Patience & Emma Adams.

James N. was born 1852, which makes Eleanor an unlikely mother given than she would have been about 47.

Oh and 1841 census has William Whetchell Adams born abt 1793 in Chesham,  with James & Eleanor.

best.
