another drylie dilema

[Gaie]

Hello Beans

First Scottish Posting for me, hope it helps.

There's an 1851 Census entry as follows:

Wellwood Colliery, Dunfermline

Anna Drylie 45 Head Miners Widow Glasgow Lanarkshire
Peter Drylie 20 Son Coalminer Dunfermline
Ann Drylie 13 Daughter Scholar Dunfermline
Robert Drylie 10 Son Scholar Dunfermline
Adam Drylie 7 Son Scholar Dunfermline

Kind regards and peace
Gaie

Hello Beans,

There's no need to apologise. As you can see from the above information from Sancti and the lady who is entering the Scottish Board, we are still all willing to assist you.

I have no intention of confusing you in any way whatsoever, but I'm sure that you will remember how you mentioned at some length Peter Drylie and "Jessie" Stewart in our private discussions. "Jessie" was a Halbeath lassie, and as you know, that's the place where my mother grew up as a little girl. It really is a small world, isn't it.

Sancti was kind enough to give you some excellent information on a couple of postings ago and I used that to see if there is anything else I could add to it. Naturally enough, you will have realised that the name Jessie was used as an alternative for the name Janet. As Sancti said, Peter Drylie married "Jessie" Stewart of Halbeath in the Burgh of Dunfermline and the marriage took place on 15th December, 1856.

I haven't gone into "every nook and cranny", but managed to find the following:

Janet Stewart Drylie born 6th November, 1857
Ann Drylie born 15th January, 1862
Euphemia Lyle Drylie born 8th April, 1864
Peter Drylie born 8th July, 1866
Helen Drylie born 7th April, 1869
Stewart Drylie born 9th August, 1871
James Drylie born 8th April, 1874.

Now, I simply don't know whether or not these individuals form part of your Family Tree or not - and as you now know, there were many, many Drylie's
living around the Dunfermline area of Fife!

I hope that the extra information that I gave you in response to a request helped you out, even though I "lumped it together" with other data to save time! That information is still "a work in progress" as you will see from my more recent postings.

Kind regards,


Tom.

Hello "Beans",

As requested I have been looking at the query you sent me about Robert Penman and Isabel Baxter and diidn't quite know where to place my answer. I hope that this is an appropriate place!
Robert Penman born 23rd May 1669 at Urquhart, Dunfermline.
Isabel Baxter born 17th September, 1671.
His father was William Penman and his mother, Lilias Kedglie.
Her father was James Baxter and her mother, Janet Greig.
Robert and Isabel married on 23rd July, 1687 at Auchterderran in Fife.

Childen:

William Penman born 24th October, 1693 at Dunfermline in Fife.
Henry Penman born 25th April, 1696 at Dunfermline. He married Christian DRYLIE on the 11th July, 1737.
Isabel Penman born 12th January, 1701 at Auchterderran in Fife. He married Janet PATON on 3rd December, 1719.John Penman born 17th January, 1703 at Auchterderran in Fife.
Jean Penman born 24th June, 1705 at Auchterderran in Fife.
Jannet Penman born 29th July, 1708 at Auchterderran in Fife.

Well, here's your opportunity to try out one of your shiny new LDS discs! Have a look on Disc Number 22 and see what you've got on the above. I will be most interested to see what turns above. In the meantime, I will continue to look at those "Black Holes" on your Family Tree as I promised to do - but promise to put things onto the correct  threads, otherwise the Moderator, Pam, will get a trifle "miffed"! I'm only half kidding about that!

Kind Regards,


Tom.

Hi Beans:
I looked up the 1861 census.  It's much easier to find children than adults sometimes.  I believe this is your Adam although it was transcribed as Adan:

His mother's name was Sarah born about 1836 in Dunfermline and he had brothers and sisters:  Janet aged 3 and Peter aged 1.
