Looking for information on James Whitecross born 1841 in Aberdeenshire.

Thanks flst, though it doesn't look as if the other post had any takers!

Can anyone find the James Whitecross born circa 1869 on the 1871. He's shown on the 1881 in Bromley:

RG11/500/110/29

He might lead us to more clues. I can't find him and I've tried him as James James in case he was Sarah's son. I think I've found Sarah.


Also, the McGuire name might be worth investigating.

Only birth record that I can find for James Whitcross, jnr is:

James William Whitecross, Dec q, 1870, Poplar, v 1c p 613

None of those  in Scotland born around the time fit

Hi

I'd not mentioned the 1891  ref:

RG12/319/32/11

Living with mother in law, Mary A James and entered as Whitecroft

Have you got him on the 1901/1911?

No i cant find him on the 1901  and i dont have access to the 1911 if you do is william mcquire  on there? can you let me know where he was living. now i am being  cheeky.

 I did find sarah on the 1901 as a servent I'm sure its her poor james must have died and she went into service.    the spelling is wrong again but the dates add up.  I think!!

I'm not allowed to give any info on the 1911 - Rootschat and FindmyPast rules. Sorry 

I don't see a death for  James Whitecross or Whitecroft 1891-1901 but don't see him on the 1901 at the moment.

I think the Sarah that you've found is correct and she's down as married not widowed (RG13/344/77/29)

I'll do some more searching

hey thanks so much you are a star.

I think i may have just discovered soemthing by accident.

My James whitecross was a widow on marrying sarah james. I was just looking at birth records on ancestry and found some whitecrosses with a father James and mother elizabeth i then went back to the 1881 census and there were step children david and ann. Remember i said sarah was only 28 when they married, so it makes sence. One of the children middle names were isobel  ( not sure if thats the right spelling )  going back to the james whitecross in aberdeen there was a peter and isobel i dont know why but i think this is the missing link. Need to do some more checking.

Before you go into checking mode, on  the marriage cert of James and Sarah, what was James's father's occupation  given as?

[gratuation]

hello again, I'm pulling my hair out here! I found out james first wife was elizabeth who had margaret, david and isobella before he married sarah. However i cant find any of them of any census ARRRRR

Anyway, sarah james father john james was a laborer
and james whitecross father james whitecross was a iron moulder  they were married in 1876.

I need a cupa and will then attempt to find a bit more out about james first marraige. Not sure how this will help me find out james parents but i'm very confused at the moment!!!!
