William ( younger ) Innes

[Dufftown]

I believe William ( younger ) Innes to be the son of William ( elder ) Innes and McDonald.
Fact No:1 William ( younger ) Innes died 15 Dec.1861 at Craighead in Inveravon. His DE tells us that he was 83 thus making his date of birth to be 1778. His father was William Innes and mother unknown.
Fact No:2 William ( younger ) married Margaret Grant 16 Aug.1806 with 1 child Alexander born 10 Jan.1808.
Fact No:3 William ( younger ) married Janet Cameron  on the 27 Jun.1814 Inveravon.
In my next posting I will show you the birth extract for Alexander Innes  born 10 Jan.1808 son of William  ( younger ) Innes and Margaret Grant. I shows that William ( elder ) Innes to be a witness and that he was a soldier.

Its strange as on Alexanders 1808 Bapt transcribed on FreeREG that note has;

Wit: Alex'r Innes soldier & William McPherson, Kearn

They also have Margaret as Mary on Marriage (to be fair I havent seen the original if you have is it Margt*?)

Also a Marriage;
19 Sep 1770
Elizabeth MCDONALD
William INNES

Just posting this until you confirm the actual image of 1808 Bapt has William and not Alex'r Innes as a witness.

Is this "Ancestry strikes again"?

Dufftown has posted the original on one of his duplicate threads - see https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=840026.msg7061002#msg7061002

FreeCEN has Bridge End, Navie and Out Pensioner Chelsey Hospitle, with a note suggesting that this last bit is Chelsea Hospital.

Navie is now spelled Nevie. See https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=16&lat=57.33217&lon=-3.31429&layers=5&b=1

Here is the birth of Alexander Innes 10 Jan.1808. Son of William ( younger ) Innes and Margaret Grant.
The spelling of Quern was also spelt Keirn. This is where the Innesses were before moving to Craighead Farm in Inveravon.
The witness William Innes, soldier is that of William ( elder ) Innes and McDonald

Here is more info on William ( elder ) Innes. I have a note that says that he was a Captain in a FootGuard Regiment which to me means he travelled to may places. As for his spouse she also used the Alais of McAlister.

"Fact No:1 William ( younger ) Innes died 15 Dec.1861 at Craighead in Inveravon. His DE tells us that he was 83 thus making his date of birth to be 1778. His father was William Innes and mother unknown."

What occ. was given for William (elder) on the death cert. for William (younger)?

Hi Annie. It says: HIS FATHER WAS WILLIAM MOTHER UNKNOWN, I am now saying that this William I am calling William ( elder ) Innes.  Regarding his wife Margaret McDonald she used an alais McAlister.

Recently we were able to confirm that one of his children was Alexander Innes who died  12 December1861 at Bridge of Navie, Glenlivet, Banff, Scotland.

My, confirmed ancestor William ( younger ) Innes married a Margaret Grant 16 Aug.1806 and they had 1 child only called Alexander who was born 10 January 1808. This extract from ScotlandPeople shows a witness called William Innes ( soldier ) who turns out to be William ( elder ) Innes, grandfather to Alexander Innes born 10 Jan.1808
