Hi
Thanks once again
As you have gathered I am still getting used to that.
The date for Agnes cames from Ancestery I don't know how trusted that is.
Where do I check the statutory births?

Hi
Thanks for the reply, I was looking at the parsih records for Ceres and found Agnes Gold and James Taylor marriage Nov 1844 and then their children but only females were registered.
The parents listed for Agnes were Joseph Guild or Gold and Betty or Betsy Scott.
I then went back and found Nancy records as birth in St Andrews with the same Joseph and Betty her parents, then moving to Ceres some of their childrens were born their around the time Agnes got married.
However I can confirm Agness record, I know that her date of bith was May 1822 and my brother has seen her death record.
I feel like I am going round in circles.
What I do know is that Agnes Gol and James Taylor had
Betsy Taylor 10/04/1846
Agnes and Isabella 22/03/1848
Mary Anne 02/07/1853
Euphemia 01/04/1850
I then could find no records for any of her sons until I realised that they only go up to 1854 her son
James Taylor was not born until May 1855

Hi
I am needing a wee bit of a help.
I have found my great great grandmother Agnes Gold b 23/05/1822 St Andrews
and died 09/07/1894 Kilmany
However I cannot seem to find her anywhere else before her marriage to James Taylor 1844 Ceres.
However what is unusual is that her sister (or mebbey see changed her name) was born Nancy Guild b23/05/1822 and died 09/07/1894 Kilmany.
Is it just a coincidence or were they twins and one died.
Can anyone help please or give me advice, I have tried to get Agnes Birth certificate without sucess, which makes me think that she was not born Agnes.
Thanks

Hi Tay
Yes I believe we are related my 2 x Great Grandfather was
James Taylor b10/08/1821 at Kemback (which I live 5 minutes away from now)
He married Agnes Goold on 23 Nov 1842 at Ceres
James Taylor son John Gold Taylor married Isabella Wallace Jack (the Jack family came from Dairsie, Fife)
Their Son Wallace Taylor (my Grandfather) married Mary Bell (they had two children Robert and Izzy (not too sure of the name)who then died and then married my Grandmother Helena Wilson.

I have a lot of information regarding the above

Susie ... you must be delighted with this barrage of information that's suddenly descended on you over the weekend!
Wow so much information to take in , John Wardlaw Reid or other way was my Paternal Great, Great Grandfather.
At the moment I am going try and put the information from this thread in to tree so it is easy for my granddad to look and understand.
He is so chuffed and overwhelmed, he has found the death certificate of Melville Brown Wardlaw Reid who was his father (b 1891 and died 1928).
So next time I see him I will get a look at the certificate and see what info is on for his parents at the time of death.
Once again, I can't believe all the info you have managed to find, it is very interesting.
Kind Regards
Susie

HI
I have just spoke to by grandfather about all the info you have managed to find, his middle name is Brown. And his father middle names were Brown and Wardlaw.
He was intrested to hear about the change in the middle to surname.
From his memory he recalls that his Great Grandfather was a James Reid born around 1836, and his Grandfather a James Wardlaw Reid b 1861.
However he does recall something to do with a male in the family taken on the wifes surname (no idea why) and thinks that his Grandfather surname was Wardlaw and not Reid. This might explain why James Wardlaw Reid is also on census for James Reid Wardlaw.
He is going to rack his brains and see if he has any old documents that might help.
Kind Regards
