Rebecca Macfarlane Stewart - parents information

[MonicaL]

  Thank you so much! Hoped you would be able to do that now here, Gadget!

Mel, I hope you agree too with what we are seeing all now.

Will add further image if I get the enhancement from SP too.

It certainly does look the same doesn't it 😊   Looks like we might have found Rebecca's mother Jessie. We should be able to trace back family now maybe?

Not heard back from ancestry tree owner yet. Still hoping!

[melwebb]

So are we saying then that Jessie miller Burnett was the wrong one?

[MonicaL]

Yes, we are Mel at this stage. We were just working off names on general searches at that time really.

The first Jessie Miller GRAHAM birth in the Glasgow area...was wrong in terms of maiden name.

The next Jessie Miller Burnett...was in Aberdeen, not at all connected to the events we have in the Glasgow area as we now have them.

Fab thanks, sorry for all the questions - completely new to this

Ask away Mel 

You cannot just go on assumptions and guesses. For what you have here (and all research of this type really  ), you need hard facts and verifications along the way.

Samuel has been more straightforward (!), I think bizarrely with Jessie, it will be down to the signature. Amazing, I know. There is nothing else so far that will fix her from what we have for her so far.

As we had as a summary for Samuel, for Jessie:

1901:  Family of Robert Burnett and Margaret Kennedy in 1901 listed above. A Jessie Burnett showing as 3 years old.

1915: Marriage entry for Jessie Burnett (to David Graham) that we have been discussing before. Snippet again with signatures of Jessie and David G.

1922: We have a snippet from Rebecca's 1922 birth, with parents' signatures, Jessie Burnett and Samuel Stewart.

1932: Second marriage for Jessie Burnett. Same Jessie as we had from 1915, confirmed from her parents' details. Married a Cyrus Miller Alexander, a merchant seaman aged 35.

1983: This Jessie died I think in 1983 at the age of 83 on record in Saltcoats, Ayrshire.

Missing here would be 1911 census and also Jessie birth cert from c. 1897-8.

Don't think I have included this, for 1891 for Jessie's family:

Robert Burnett 32 coal miner b. Bellshill
Margaret K Burnett 23 b. Overton, Lanarkshire
Agnes Burnett 2 b. Bellshill
Margaret Burnett 3 Months b. Bellshill

Address: 42 Gilbertfield Buildgs, Cambuslang Lanarkshire

You need now to check on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk to check through on the marriage of Robert to Margaret to view their marriage cert and their ancestry to help you back a next stage...

A little more to make us happy Mel  Online tree (have you checked for this?) on a/try for this family. Includes image for Agnes Burnett as above b. 1889....middle name...Naismith. As we had for Jessie born c. 1897 marrying in 1915 (showing as Jessie N Burnet) and then 1932 as Jessie Naismith Burnett. Do not know what the family connections are for Robert or Margaret as parents for this surname of Naismith, but obviously there was one.

From this birth cert (Scottish birth certs show place and date of marriage if parents married) parents show as having married 30th Dec 1887 in Bothwell. Could well show as an 1888 registration on SP.
