Just noticed this from MR on the Summary thread

I'm sorry if I haven't made the summaries clear enough, but I'm doing my best....

MR, your summaries have been EXCELLENT - goodness knows how you have managed with this thread.  Bet when you agreed to take this on, you had NO idea...   Hope your daughter hasn't been grounded!

Hear hear! (Or Here, here - I'm never too sure  )

Without the summaries this would be impossible.  You have done a great great job there.

Whoever get's your baton beware, there's a lot to live upto unless you are canny and manage to pick the only child born to an only child who dies (sadly) 2 days after the census.

Manchester you are a star!

(As a scouser that is not a sentence fragment I thought I'd ever say/type!)

Do I remember coming across the name KIPPEN on this thread (or was it just a dream?)   Can anyone jog my memory?

PS

We could do with a  Berlin-Bob Surname Interests Table JUST for this thread!

This directory of Glasgow, from 1787, seems to contain so many of the names we have encountered so far:  Orr, Robertson, Leckie, Moody etc:

Thanks for the encouragement - I didn't realise this was going to be a full-time job for the month!

I don't think we've had KIPPEN as a surname, but the place has cropped up a few times for births/marriages.

Sorry to have given you palpatations with Jessie's birth   

I had put the wrong year on my notes  had two page 1860's for Dec. qtr. instead of 1858

Jessie Robertson Johnson  Dec. qtr. 1858  Liverpool  vol 8b  page 171.

Charles Robertson Johnson  June qtr. 1857 Liverpool  8b  238.

This ties her age in with the 1861 census.

Still wondering about the other dates for a Jessie and Charles Johnson that links them with ages in  1871 census.  Could they have been re-registered in their father's name?

Or could be totally different people.

I have a cousin who has two birth certificates, his mother wasn't married when he was born, she later married the father and he was re-registered under his father's name two years after birth

Yes well done Rambler on the summaries 

I for one wouldn't have been able to keep track, makes it easier to print out the relevant bits.

Although we'd have trouble proving it, I think this is a very possible explanation.  The ages on the 1881 census are iffy, but it certainly looks like the same people.

Another daughter of William Maule Molison and Margaret Davidson therefoer step sister to Alexander Strachan Molison (ASM):

Looks like her niece was named after her.
