Parents names

[MaggieMac]

Looking to find the parents of both James Sharp/Ann Lyell/Lyall married 26th December 1838 in Dundee [Angus].

Many thanks

Hi, I would try and find the death cert for both on ScotlandsPeople as you can search on married and maiden name and check it's the right person as it shows on the cert who they were married to.  It will have the parents.
Good luck.

Hi Maggie, I think I found them on the 1841 census in Dundee, which shows they were both born in Angus, and has ages, which may narrow it down a bit.

Piece: SCT1841/282 Place: Dundee-Angus Enumeration District: 70
Civil Parish: Dundee Ecclesiastical Parish, Village or Island: -
Folio: 0 Page: 19

    Surname   First name(s)   Sex   Age   Occupation   Where Born   Remarks   
    SHARP   Jas   M   27   At Steam Looms    Angus         
    SHARP   Ann   F   20       Angus         
    SHARP   Jas   M   1       Angus   

I noticed that they had 3 kids in Dundee
James 30 Jun 1840
Mary 16 Oct 1845
James Lyell Sharp 30 Jul 1848

I found a James Sharp b1814 in St Vigeans and an Hannah Lyall in Carmyllie in 1821.  The two places are very close.  There is also an Ann Lyall in Dundee 1819.

Good luck

Hi,

I believe that you are from the descendants of Mary Sharp b oct 1845  m 1866 John Kinsman.

I'm from the James Sharp b1840 lineage 1st son of James Sharp and Ann Lyall.

Did you get anywhere with your query.

Kind regards

Welcome to rootschat Gsharp7.

I'm afraid Maggie has not been online since 2005. If she still has the same email address she should get notification of your reply.

Good luck.
