Warwickshire / Re: Elizabeth Iremonger marrying John Kettle 1700's ?
« on: Tuesday 21 June 16 21:27 BST (UK)  »
Just seen your post. Yes, John Kettle married Elizabeth Iremonger of St Albans in about 1723. They had at least three children - Elizabeth who died infant, John and Matthew, before she died in 1729 in Birmingham. I have her ancestry. Best to get back to me on Removed as I might not find a reply here.

I'm having a similar problem to Lydiaann. Mullgenealogy.co.uk shows Malcolm McGilvray, 36, and all his family in Kilfnichen and Kilvickeon, Mull, Argyll in 1871, but I can't find any of them on Ancestry.

Argyllshire / Re: Mcgillvrays of Kilfinichen and Kilvickeon

Good to hear from you, Lydiaann. I'm researching Archibald MacG, born 1824 in K and K, son of Alexander, ag lab, and Catherine MacG, both born around 1775. I've found them all in 1841, and the parents in 1851. All of them were in Shiaba in K and K parish. Archie and his bride emigrated to Canada in 1843, and I'm hoping to find out why they left - it was before the horrors of Highland potato blight and clearance. He left his parents and younger brother Malcolm, ag lab, on Mull. Old Alex was a pauper by 1861. Malcolm had to leave Shiaba and become a shepherd, after Clearance. I've been reading about Shiaba and found some great photos of the ruins. It's a world heritage site now, and I'd love to go there. Old Alex was one of those who signed a plea to the Duke of Argyll not to evict the villagers, but it made no difference.

What's the back story with your MacGs?

Hi, I'm researching the MacGillivrays of K and K too, and I coudn't find 1841 or 1851 on Ancestry or the Genealogist, but the mullgenealogy.co.uk site was very useful. Somebody has transcribed all the island entries. You'll find them under the Census tab.

England / Nurse: what does it mean?
« on: Saturday 02 January 10 14:19 GMT (UK)  »
I have an ancestor who's described as 'nurse' in the1841 census. Her age is given as 60, and in the household are three girls of 13, 11 and 9. I can't find any other record of any of them, and they certainly aren't her own children or grandchildren.

Do you think that 'nurse' in this context means someone who takes in 'nurse children', children who have no parents to care for them, and who gets a pittance from the parish or family in return?

Thanks if you can help.

Gillian
