I think I may have Alice and children in 1861, although whose wife she is, I haven't the faintest idea.
RG9/293 Mile End Old Town Western Folio 177 Page 12
18 Wm Street North
Alice Johnson Wife Mar 23 Lancashire Liverpool
Charles Son 3 Scholar " "
Jessie daur 2 " " "
Alice M " 6 months Middlesex Stepney.

So it looks as though the Alice Lou(n)sdale and Charles with son Hugh aren't ours but despite the ages being a bit out (quite a lot in the case of mother Alice) I think we have something here with the birth places, although can't find a marriage for them.

Just to take note, next door, also with husband missing is an Elizabeth Moore a sugar baker's wife - just thinking back to Colin and co.

Can I have an opinion please?

Annie, we have to be proud of our locals

Some Molison oddments not previously posted (I think!):

Thomas Viall Cornell - husband of Eliza Wilson Molison - b. c1851, Wethersfield, Essex, son of Joseph Cornell and Matilda Viall.  (Joseph m. Matilda Dec qtr 1840, Risbridge.)  Thomas is recorded as curate of Fawley, Herefordshire in Littlebury's Directory and Gazetteer of Herefordshire, 1876-7.

On the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site, I found this:

Capt. William Strachan Molison, DFC and bar, Royal Artillery.  Died 28 March 1945, aged 30.  Son of William James Molison and Hilda Maria Molison of Sanderstead, Surrey.  Buried in Reichswald Forest War Cemetery.

Alexander Strachan Molison had 2 sons named William James - one by each wife(!).  The younger one was born in 1871, and was still unmarried in 1901, so is probably the one referred to here.

I've posted a Molison summary at http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,62822.0.html for anyone who wants to follow up this line.

I don't know - we haven't positively identified a William James Molison b. 1915.  He would be contemporary with the war casualty William Strachan Molison.

IGI, submitted entry:

Marriage of George Robertson on 9 March 1819 at Middle Paisley, Paisley, Renfrew
to
Mary DOUGLAS?

I thought that question had been asked before with a couple of others, but my head is a bit befuddled to find the page, I remember wondering that maybe somebody with good Scottish geographical knowledge could tell us whether it would be near Port of Glasgow and so settle the matter.
