Hello Sheila -

Elizabeth Mcbain married John Lawson on 25 May 1828 in Auchterless.

(A search on the IGI  brings up a John Lawson and Elizabeth McBain in Nigg, Kincardine and a birth to this couple of a Robert Lawson on 06 Jan 1831 with ch. of 25 Jan 1831.  Only child born to a John Lawson and Elizabeth McBain in Scotland from 1830 to 1850.  Regards,   Steve  :O)

Further searching of the database only brings up a total of 41 John Lawsons in the 1841 census.  The 2 nearest:

Parish:  Durris, Kincardineshre

John Lawson - age 30 Farmer
Betty Lawson - age 20
Katherine Lawson age 01

or at Inverey, Crathie and Braemar, Aberdeenshire a 30 year old John lawson a 'Dyker' in the household of Duncan Abercrombie.

I'm aware that even with the 'rounding down of the ages for the '41' census Betty is too young.

Do you have them in the '51 census?  Apologies for any confusion caused.....

Thankyou for the reply, I don't have them on the 1851 census. I have son Roberts marriage 1856 states mother and father both deceased also father John was a Sergeant in the 60th Rifle Regiment. Would appreciate any further help.

A possible death date for John Lawson would be most helpful as I am trying to establish whether Elizabeth McBain who came to Australia in 1841 as the wife of Alexander Pittendrigh had been previously married to John Lawson.

I have not been able to find a death for John Lawson, possibily he was killed while serving with the 60th Rifle Regiment, they only reference we have to his death is his son Roberts marriage cert. where he states both his father and mother are both dead

The Elizabeth McBain who was married to John Lawson was born 02/02/1807
daughter of  Gillis McBain and Elizabeth Gill married Kinloss 22/12/1787

Hi all - John Lawson and Elizabeth McBain were my 3rd great grandparents and I have been trying to track them down for a number of years.
Recently I found a burial record for a John Lawson, Corporal, 60th Rifle Regiment. He died or perhaps was killed while serving in India and was buried 23rd July 1846 in Karachi.
I'm leaning toward him being my 3rd great grandfather who was perhaps demoted from Sergeant to Corporal.
No luck with Elizabeth McBain though!
