Grierson
« on: Thursday 10 December 20 23:33 GMT (UK) »
Hello All
I am looking for the birth and/or death of John Grierson (weaver) in order to further prove his/ my line. His mother's name would do the trick !!! I believe John was born ca 1775 in Dumfriesshire.
I have John's (Sp. Grirson) marriage to Janet Lockerbie August 10 , 1804. John and Janet are listed in the 1841 and 1851 census............all in the parish of Lochmaben, Dumfries They had 6 children.
They disappear following the 1851 census.
Anyone know a secret source ???
Be safe everyone !

JOHN GREARSON/JANET LOCKERBIE  - Lochmaben

GRACE & MARGARET 16/07/1806, JOHN 25/08/1808 (Noted as Grive)

JAMES 24/12/1810, THOMAS 30/08/1813, MATHEW 17/11/1816


I wonder if this is JOHN GRIERSON 16/08/1778 parents JOHN GRIERSON/MARGARET PEARSON,  Penpont, Dumfriesshire - Brother WILLIAM 25/09/1780 (No marriage for the parents)?

Could this be Janet but there are two other options.

JEANLOCKERBIE parents    WILLIAM LOCKERBIE/GRACE HARKNESS    17/03/1776   Lochmaben

Annie and Colin
Thank you both for your help...Annie ... do you have a copy of the MRI Booklet ?  Does the name Grierson appeaar?  Before I make the purchase?
Colin and Annie
Looking at the children... about time I re-looked at what I have  ..  Janet Lockerbie's mother was Grizzel or Grace Bell..one name looked after! Leaves me Margaret!

Son John's death certificate 1891 says father is John and mother Janet Lockerbie
So... I am going to look seriously at John and Margaret Pearson  with John's birth ca 1778.
Thanks again   and Happy Christmas....Be Safe
