Hogg/Bryson

[Chris_Hogg]

I need information on William Hogg. All that I have been able to find is that he married a woman named Catherine Bryson at East Canon Gate in 1815 and they had four children. They are: Catherine born in 1818, Ann born in 1820,  Jean born in 1825 and William born in 1826. Can anyone find anything on this man? Particularly the names of his parents and his birth/death dates. Thank you in advance.

Have you found them on any census so far & where

Hi Chris and welcome to Rootschat,

Have you tried looking for any of the family on the 1841 Census?
Looking at your site name, can I ask are you descended from William Hogg's son William born circa 1826?
If so can you perhaps provide his marriage details too? Gives us something to work on

I am descended from William Hogg born 2 February 1826.

He married Margaret Minto Thomson in Perth Ontario Canada on 22 January 1858

Margaret Minto Thomson was born 4 September 1836 in Lanarkshire to Gavin Thomson and Jane Minto

Who were any of the children married to, where & when

I have no information on the girls but I know that William Hogg born 2 February 1826, married Margaret Minto Thomson 22 January 1858 in Perth Ontario Canada.
  From there they appear on numerous censuses in the United States but none of them show I information on the parents. I did find a form that said that 1826 Williams parents were born in Scotland and spoke "Upper Gaelic." I do not know what that means. It gave no mention of birth dates or who their parents were.

Hi again Chris,

My advice would be to look at William who emigrates to Canada and try and find him on 1851 and 1841 Scottish Census.
Do you know which year he left Scotland? Do you know his occupation?
Finding William born 1826 on 1841 Census could locate his parents and then you can try and work from that.

Hi Chris,
The four Hogg children according to Familysearch are all christened in  North Leith, Midlothian

There is a couple on the 1841 Census at Spenses Place, Leith South

William Hogg   age 50   Joiner Journeyman     born outside Census County
Catharine Hogg  age 45                                 born outside Census County

Spellings above as per Freecen transcription.
The 1841 Census advised people to round down their ages to nearest 0 or 5 - although in my experience some folk rounded up too! And according to this Census these people were not Midlothian born.

Don't know if this is your couple but worth looking at.
