Thomas Page - Auchtermuchty - Advice from Experts

[cheekywan]

Hi,

I'm hoping some of the more experienced researchers can help me with the following:

I have found 2 (or really 4) marriage records on LDS and SP:

Thomas Page and Jean Skinner
23 APR 1713 - Strathmiglo, Fife
23 APR 1715 - Strathmiglo, Fife
28 JUN 1718 - Auchtermuchty, Fife
These state that Jean Skinner lived in the Parish of Strathmiglo and Thomas Page lived in Parish of Auchtermuchty.

Thomas Peage and Jean Lumsdale
10 JUN 1727 - Strathmiglo -  again, Thomas is from Auchtermuchty and Jean from Strathmiglo.

Thomas Page and Jean Skinner had 2 children
Elizabeth Page b 17 Nov 1721, Auchtermuchty, Fife
James Page b 08 Dec 1723, Auchtermuchty, Fife 

This doesn't mean that they didn't have more children (Auchtermuchty ministers didn't seem that good at keeping records), but it's all I can find.

Thomas Peage and Jean Lumsdean had 7 Children (all born in Auchtermuchty)

Agnes born 11 Aug 1728
Thomas b 10 Oct 1731
William b 08 Nov 1733
Jean b 10 Jan 1736
John b 21 May 1738
George b 29 Nov 1741
John Page b15 Jul 1744 
 
All birth records use the PAGE spelling and depending on which record your looking at Jean is either LUMSDEAN/LUMSDALE or LUMSDEN.

My direct line goes to Thomas Page and Jean Lumsden

My question is this - on SP these are the oldest 2 PAGE marriages I can find in Auchtermuchty, what are the chances that Jean Skinner died and Thomas Page re-married Jean Lumsdean? 

I ask because if this is a good possibility then I can link all Pages to Thomas in Auchtermuchty through the years to  early 1800’s.

Just in addition to this

The family have a strong tradition of using the old Scottish naming pattern, I'm amazed at how may George, Williams and Thomas's there are.

The only births that I can find for a Thomas Page in Scotland are as follows:

Thomas PAIGE b 15 Jan 1691 Dundee, Angus  to Jas Paige and Marg Fleeming, or
Thomas Page b 19 Nov 1704 to David Peage and Katherine Paterson.
I know that he may have been born in England or somewhere but I would so like this not to be so as I would love to do all the 'social history research' here 
Am I wishful thinking?
Thanks
Heather

Hi Sorry for my delayed reponse!  Diddy thanks for looking; in the summer I went over to Fife for a look around the Cemetary's and found no trace of any!

Folks,  I have a  Thomas Page b.1838, Auchtermuchty and another Thomas Page was born there in 1839.
However, one of them was a stonemason, married Linlithgow 2 June 1865 to Elizabeth Meek b.21 June 1839 and settled in St Cuthbert's, Edinburgh. Six of a family. Ring any bells?

Skoosh.

Hi

I'm sorry for taking so long to reply again!  I do have some info on Alexander and Janet, and also on the two Thomas's they are cousiins I believe but no relation to Alexander  and I think to confuse things even further the both married an elizabeth.  I will check my information as soon as I get my own laptop back and will post it.

Cheers
Heather
