Lanarkshire / Re: Deadend in Bogend, Shotts
« on: Tuesday 03 February 09 01:37 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks damnonii.  Unfortunately the Shotts parish records are a bit patchy; it was a bit hit and miss as to what was recorded. 

Whether the lone BEITH in the records means the couple moved elsewhere, or that their BDMs weren't recorded -- who knows...

I haven't found anything for them in Whitburn MIs, but that doesn't mean they weren't planted there.

Many thanks for your help.

Lanarkshire / Deadend in Bogend, Shotts
« on: Monday 02 February 09 01:17 GMT (UK)  »
I have a couple -- William BEITH and Janet HUTCHISON or HUTCHENSON of Bogend -- who had a daughter Agnes 17 October 1770 baptised in Shotts.

I can't find any other reference to this couple, but their first names make them possible parents for a Robert BEITH or BEATH who died and was buried in Whitburn, West Lothian in 1833. 

Seems to me that Bogend was probably a farm -- it appears on old maps, right on the border with West Lothian.

Anyone else searching for this couple?  Or have any info about BEITH / BEATH or HUTCHISON / HUTCHENSON in Shotts?

Jean,

Thank you for your help.  It isn't the Jean BEITH I was looking for, but the date of birth makes me suspect she's one of the daughters I thought had died in childhood.

Many many thanks for your kindness in helping to fill a gap in the family tree.

Hi,

Hope I can jump in here. 

I'm looking for:

1. Jean [Jane/t] Beath [Beath] who probably died 1851-1861.

Believe she was born c.1784 in Whitburn, dau. of John Wilson & Jean Black.

Her husband Robert Beith was buried in Whitburn 1833, but an earlier post in this thread indicates she wasn't buried in the same grave.

As at 1851 Census, she was living in Greenburn.

2.  Jean's parents John Wilson & Janet Black.  They were in Whitburn in the late 1700s, but I have no birthdates for them (probably b. c. 1750s).

Fingers crossed.
