GRO Reference: 1871 S Quarter in MARYLEBONE Volume 01A Page 411
No registration for Barbara Auld in Scotland, although there were 14 Auld’s, father Alexander, spread throughout Scotland, none in Edinburgh. It is possible that the record was not recorded or has not survived?
Best of unlikely possibilities below.
Barbara was one of 5 born Inverurie, plus 1 Gall in New Macher in 1810.
BARBARA GAULD 3/01/1801 Inverurie, Aberdeenshire

Thanks Colin - good hunting and plenty there to keep me busy!

« on: Thursday 16 October 25 15:35 BST (UK) »Not that it helps much but her father was listed as a Wright living in the Parish of Week(??) at the time of the marriage
Added - Could the parish be Wick, Caithness
I think this is very significant - thank you. I had a Caithness suspect but couldn't make the Edinburgh connection!

Hi,
Barbara Auld m Walter Currie in Canongate, Edinburgh in 1822, father Alexander Auld. Barbara and Walter moved to Marylebone, Middlesex UK by 1841. I am trying to confirm Barbara's birth location. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sussex Lookup Requests / Re: Looking for marriage of Richard Hutchinson to Elizabeth in Hastings 1703 to 1711

I checked out Thomas Hunchin and it says the father William is a Periwigmaker. A family I thought connected in Uckfield, William Hutchinson (mercer) married an Elizabeth Gunner and one of their other sons was also a periwigmaker. "Thomas Hunchin" if my line - my Thomas was also a mercer. I am wondering how coincidental this is? Were there hundreds of periwig makers?

« on: Thursday 20 February 25 00:07 GMT (UK) »You are looking - in several different posts - for a Thomas Hutchinson who "married Sarah Browne fron Dicker in Arlington in 1731. He is "sojourner" and lived in Hooe."
Thomas may of course have been born outside of Sussex. No doubt there are other possible reasons that you can't find a spare one for your tree.
You could also be a bit more creative in your search, though it may not lead anywhere of course.
Spelling of surnames was variable, and sometimes names mutated. So try looking for Hutchin/Hutchins as well as Hutchinson.
Slightly more extreme example -
Tho Hunchin, son of Wm, baptised 20 November 1707, Eastbourne.

Not saying it's your guy, only that it's another avenue to explore.
Great find! Thank you.
