London Post Office Directory for 1829
George Robertson, Ship Chandler, Narrow Street, Ratcliffe Cross

Paul

Allan's uncle George Robertson was born c1820, so is this perhaps another candidate for Allan's paternal grandfather?

Apologies if this has already been posted!

It's getting hard to keep track of all the information.

Alexander Strachan MOLISON and Augusta Jane (presumably Augusta MARSHALL) had the following, all at St Dunstan Stepney (all are entries extracted from the OPRS i.e. not LDS submissions):
- Augusta Jane MOLISON bap 15 Sep 1833
- Alexander Joseph MOLISON bap 3 Jul 1836 (Alexander snr's middle name listed as 'Stathen')
- Mary Jean MOLISON bap 7 Oct 1838 (Alexander's middle name listed as 'Shachan')
- William James bap 22 Jul 1840 (this is at the end of the batch apparently without a surname, parents names are given as Alexander - no middle name and no surname - and Augusta Jane)
- Mary Marshall MOLESON(sic) bap 28 Apr 1844 (Alexander's middle name listed as 'Stratcher' and surname as MOLESON)
- Duncan Dunbar MOLISON b 4 Nov 1845, bap 20 May 1846
- Eliza Wilson MOLISON b 5 Jan, bap 21 Sep 1848 (Alexander's middle name listed as 'Shachan', Augusta Jane listed as Jane)

FreeBMD has in Stepney:
- Mary Jean MOLISON, death, Mar qtr 1839
- William James MOLISON, birth, Jun qtr 1840
- Duncan Dunbar MOLISON, birth, Dec qtr 1845
- John (?) MOLISON, death, Sep qtr 1851
- Elizabeth MOLISON, birth, Mar qtr 1853
- John MOLISON, death, Sep qtr 1857
- Mary M MOLISON, marriage, Jun qtr 1866 (this has already been posted, James ROBERTSON on same page)
- Alexander Strachan MOLISON, marriage, Mar qtr 1868 (this has already been posted, Sarah Ann SHORES on same page)
- Duncan Dunbar MOLISON, marriage, Sep qtr 1872 (females on same page are Anna Rebecca ATKINS and Justina Louise SHORES)

There are also some MOLLISON entries in Stepney.

- Alexander Strachen MOLISON, death, age 76, Thanet, Sep qtr 1878 (think this has already been posted)

JAP
PS: I'm editing this for completeness.  Incidentally, I now see that most of the St Dunstan, Stepney entries had been posted previously - but at least I added Mary Marshall and (now) William James ; )

It seems that Duncan Dunbar MOLISON did marry a SHORES.  In the 1881, in Lambeth Surrey, there's a Justine L MOLISON, Head, married, age 31, no occupation, born Poplar Middlesex.  With her (just to confuse the issue) there's a Duncan D. SHORES, listed as her Brother-in-Law (seems strange?), age 25, no occupation, born Worthing Sussex.  And yes, in the IGI (extracted entry), there's the birth in 1855 of a Duncan Dunbar SHORES, parents John Wallis SHORES and Justina, at Broadwater by Worthing, Sussex.   Perhaps the SHORES and MOLISON families were close, and perhaps Duncan Dunbar SHORES was named after Duncan Dunbar MOLISON (who later married Justine Louise SHORES) ........

Finally, the 1841 Angus census is nearly complete on FreeCEN - there are plenty of MOLISONs.

The Molisons seem to have stamped their mark on Brechin...

http://www.angus.gov.uk/history/features/oldbrechin.htm

for details of John Molison, Provost

and

http://www.angus.gov.uk/history/features/people/molison.htm

for Thomas Molison, who rose to the rank of captain in the marines, serving with them until  his father's death (John) around 1781.  He had a share in linen spinning at the West Mill with wright Thomas Jamieson. He later sold this and formed a new partnership at the Meickle Mill for spinning and manufacturing flour. Another partnership was formed with David Rid and Town Clerk, Alexander Ritchie to spin flax and manufacture canvas for the navy.

Died  27 July 1815.


Certainly a link with linen / sails / chandlers here.
