[Flattybasher9]

There is a Catharine Carnegie listed for 10 January 1814 at Bervie in the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints records.

Further,
Checking the census, post 1842 marriage at St Clements,
1851, Aberdeen, Old Machar, Catherine Allan (27)
1851, Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Catharine Allan (36) Note the spelling is of that listed in the Bervie birth of 1814.
1861, Aberdeen, St Nicholas, Catherine Allan (45)
1871, Aberdeen, St Nicholas, Catherine Allan (52)
1881, Aberdeen, St Nicholas, Catherine Allan (64)

Hi All 

Lynda, just adding the link up to your other post on William and family on the Aberdeenshire board for further background www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,554984.0.html

Just picking up on Malky's comments on Catherine, the census possibles that were listed, was this Catherine and children in 1851 given the address:

Catharine Allan 36, sailor's wife b. Bervie
William Allan 8
Diana Allan 3
John Allan 1
Sarah Weir 60, lodger, teacher b. Aberdeen

Address: 26 Commerce Street

What were Catherine's parents' names from her death entry? The submitted IGI entry that Malky mentioned for a birth in 1814 gave David and Margaret as that Catherine's parents.

There looks to also have been another daughter Jessie b. 13 January 1852?

Without being able to find an 1855 Scottish death cert for William, will be hard to certain on his origins

I am looking for help to access the shipping records of the ss City of London in 1855.  It sailed to the Crimea and supplied donkeys and the  like.  I am trying to trace William Allan (Aberdeen) who died 8/6/1855 but not sure if he died aboard the ship or in anther location.

Thanks in anticipation
Lynda

Do you know at which port the ship was registered. I can find four vessels around that time with the name CITY OF LONDON. Registered in Glasgow, Aberdeen, Singapore and I think Milom.

What info does his inventory give re his family, occupation etc?

[lyndyloo6]

Catherines parents are given as Alexander Carnegie, Mason and Ann Milne....

Jessie was born in 1852.

I would ascert that the ship be registered in Aberdeen....but  am probably very wrong.....
