Jane CHISHOLM & John WILLIAMSON Inverness 1824ish

[Liverbird1]

Looking for any info on the above both Inverness, Jane bn 1824-1826 and John c1819.

Married 1844 Inverness.

Children Thomas 1845 Inverness according to the 1911 census.

I think there is a daughter Mary Brown Williamson 1855 Inverness.  So while looking for info on Jane, I did come across poss parents Joseph & Mary Brown

Anyone with these names?

Hi Liverbird1

1855 BMDs are great if you get one. The first year of official registration in Scotland and for one year only, the certs ran over two pages of the register and for that year only, lots of additional info was included.

The is the cert you need here https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XYGN-WGQ. You can view the original image on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/  This birth cert should include where and when parents married, their ages, where they were from, how many children they had (alived/deceased, girls/boys).

Have you got further census entries for the family? Have you looked for death certs for Thomas' parents? If they died in Scotland, death certs includes parents' names if known to the informant.

PS: One other likely child here in 1850 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XB9Y-XYY

That looks promising, keyboard86  Unless unlucky and John Williamson dieing at the end of 1854, his death cert should also be on Scotlands People, to confirm his parents' names.

Death in 1855 (sigh...the magic year  ) for a John Williamson that year in 1855, with a birth year of circa 1817. Worth checking likely.

Thanks guys I'm working my way through this atm, Mary Brown her baptism states John & Jane Chisholm   So I really do think that is a daughter.

I have done a birth search on scottishpeople for a plus/minus 5 year from 1819 and the only one that shows up is:

1   02/08/1817   WILLIAMSON   JOHN   DONALD WILLIAMSON/MARTHA ROSE   M   INVERNESS

and a death:

1   1855   WILLIAMSON   JOHN           M   38   INVERNESS BURGH   /INVERNES which shows the following:
