David Brown married Grizzell Beveridge at Dalgety on22nd,June,1793.  But which David? She had a choice of two. David 1, born10Oct.1771 to James Brown/Janet Moor or David 2, born 25 Apl.1775 to John Brown/Jean?. Can anyone tell me how to tell which one. Thanks.

Hi Falcon

Welcome to Rootschat 

I've just checked the IGI on www.familysearch.org  to see if they might have used the traditional naming pattern  - i.e.

First son - after father's father
Second son - after mother's father
Third son - after father

First daughter - after mother's mother
Second daughter - after father's daughter
Third daughter - after mother

etc. ......

It wasn't always followed but it is a good indicator.

What I've found is largely from patron submitted records which would need to be checked against the Scotlands People site  www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

1794 - James
1797 - Janet
1802 - Margaret
1802 - Mary (also submitted 1805)
1805 - Helen
1808 - Archibald
1813 - Agnes ( extracted)

(all Dalgetty)


This suggests that the James Brown/Janet Moor might be the most likely parents but you'd need to do some checking - did the other David marry/die.........  If he married, hat were his children called. Does the marriage record give any other information. Are they on the 1841 census. Is there a monumental inscription(MI).

Do you have the names of Grizzel's parents?

Hi Gadget ,
      thanks for the first reply to my first ever post! I agree that David ,1771, is the most likely candidate. After fuether checks-1841 census- Iwill communicate further. Yes I do know Grizzells parents. They could well be Alexander Beveridge/Margaret Livingstone but not yet 100% convinced of that.
