Forbes

[Jamieson]

It looks like this one has come to the end of the line.  I can only offer my sincerest thanks to ev, MonicaLesi, Piglet01, marcie dean.


Well done, thank you.

anyone ever need photo's of stones ect, just give me a shout..

On top of what you already had from Steve and Ev, you have a little bit more info there Jamieson which has probably given you a good feel of the different family lines. The link that I posted earlier for Sarah Cheyne and husband William Thom, lets you click on her name to work back to further info on her lines.

I think with Alice, other than where she was for 1891, you also hopefully have a line of enquiry to follow up on.

Not sure how much more info you need at the moment. We could work back a little bit on the family of Ellen Gillespie perhaps down in Salford, although ideally you need the marrriage entry for her and Henry Tobin that Ev found to ensure you are following the correct families, so it would just be guesses without that info. I did see a possible entry on the Canadian censuses for Henry in Quebec, but again, need at least his father's name confirmed to be sure.

No tree is too long, thats for sure. My Jamieson side goes back to 1690. But all that hard work was done by someone else.
It was just by coincidence that I found it.

It was that find which set me off on filling in the tree on www.geni.com and ancestry.co.uk.

Now i have inputs to my granmothers family, the Forbes and Tobins. Now the Cheynes.

Its all very good stuff and keeps me busy.

There is still things to find on all of them.

That's what keeps everyone going 

If you look on IGI and the submitted entries I listed, there are a number of death details included for the children of Henry and Ellen, if you look at the individual entries. Mostly in Aberdeen but at least one in Australia.

Not sure if you have done a 'parent search' on IGI before, which will bring up all the entries on one search - let me know if not.

I have never used any search methods nor sites like ScotlandsPeople, IGI.

Guidance on those would be great to get me started

Have a look through these help notes here on RC: www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,24468.0.html - Where to start with Scottish Research?

This is a great link for parishes and counties:

www.scotlandsfamily.com/county-map.htm
www.scotlandsfamily.com/parish-maps.htm

IGI stands for International Genealogical Index - www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true

This is a database provided by the LDS (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). It is particularly good for the period 1855-74 in Scotland. They are extracted index entries from the Statutory Registers. Pre 1855, they also have extracts from the Old Parish Registers (OPRs). This is a great search database, normally from which you can move on to Scotlands People, which is the official pay to view site which includes the original images with all the addtional info on the register entries.

You will find that entries on IGI are either actual extract from registers or member submitted entries (which have to be verified elsewhere as they can be wrong!). The source of the info is always included on the entry.

A parent search lets you search for any chidlren showing to a couple(s) with a set of given names. Try searching on the IGI search screen. Simply put in father and mother's first name and surname on the r/h side, then at the bottom, click for British Isles and then Scotland. If you find for any search that there potential children for more than once couple, you can add time parameters and also counties (although bare in mind that sometimes people moved around counties).

Hello All,
  Yes, you all have the correct information.  I have an EDMOND family Tree on Ancestry.com with many TOBINs in it. I have recently been contacted by Alan Jamieson concerning Alice TOBIN who was a sister to Henry TOBIN who was born in 1892 and married my grandmother, Annie Moir EDMOND's sister, Mary Ann Pirie EDMOND in 1912. I have a few documents on the TOBIN family.
  My grandmother's family was from Woodside, Aberdeen.  She married Alexander STABLES in 1908.
  There were triplets born in March of 1891. I have one of the triplets, John TOBIN that died, but I also believe that one of the others died as well, the first Henry TOBIN. As, my Henry TOBIN married to Mary A.P. EDMOND was born in the April of 1892.
 I can invited guests to see my EDMOND Tree on Ancestry.com, if you would like to see the TOBINs that I have included on there, with documents. Please send along your e-mail address with your names to
Judy Anderson nee STABLES

Hi, another point of interest in Scottish History of the Clan Chattan. There is a Sir William Forbes.  The piece is very interesting.

The paragraph about Sir William Forbes is approximately half way through. You could track forwards from him to the 18/19th century.

Hi Marcie,
Thanks for your post.

To date I have nothing on the Forbes. What I have is Sarah Cheyne Married to William Pirie Thom.

Sarah Cheyne is the mother of my William Forbes.....but  William Pirie Thom is not the father.....William Thom died 9 March 1875 age 21. William Thom did however have children with Sarah before his death.

William Forbes was not on of his children though. I have Sarah, William and another youngster Peter on the 1891 census.


1891:
Sarah Thom 38, dressmaker b. Fyvie, Aberdeenshire

Mary and Jeannie are from William Thom,

Mary Ann Thom 17, dressmaker b. Fyvie, Aberdeenshire
Jeannie Thom 15 b. Gardenstown, Banff Sh

but William and Peter were born after Thom's death in 1875.

William Thom 8 b. Old machar, Aberdeen Sh
