Hi all,

Trying to trace a Jesse Wightman.  Probably born in Coldingham or surrounding area  b. 1822.  She was an aunt of Mark N Wightman b. Coldingham 1851 son of Robert Wightman b. 1811 Greenlaw.   She Married a Matthew Lee from Northumberland in 1852 & emigrated to Sacramento.  Their property was inherited by Mark on her death.  Is she a sister of Robert & who were her parents.   Many thanks for any help

I have both Whitman and Gibsons on my tree from Coldingham and Berwickshire and also Midlothian, but do not have Timothy married to Jean!
There may be some connection somewhere.
My Great Grand Father was John Alexander GIBSON born 1850 died 1884 in Morpeth, Northumberland.
The Whiteman connection goes back to the early part of 19th Century, 1780s to 1850s
regards
John

A bit of a long shot perhaps but has anyone on this thread come across an Agnes Wightman born in England about 1795 who was married to James McFarlane; they lived in Lanarkshire. I can find no further information on her - no marriage date (perhaps in England?) and no date of death. Alex.

I have a great deal on this family. Timothy's brother, Alexander, was my 3xggfather.
Who are you particularly interested in?

Best wishes
