Find Ancestors

Aww that's so sweet...Thanks Rootgatherer, your such a star :-D :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D

That's nice.

No need to grovel at all Nancy. We all get excited when a "lost" ancestor is found and it doesn't mean any help goes unappreciated. :-D

Phew!! Sorry Rootgatherer!!! I can get so excitable at times, I thought you and Reggie were the one and same, I should have taken more care.. Can I grovel anymore :-\ :-\ :-\

Not a problem Nancy :-D

Oh dear!! I see that I mixed up Rootsgatherer with Reggie, oops sorry Rootsgatherer. You have helped a lot with the information on William Bisset and Janet's marriage details, confirming that this wasn't the man we were looking for, my apologies for confusing you with Reggie, you have been great with he help and I am grateful for your work... <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

No offense Reggie

Maureen! I worry about myself too, gosh I was so excited about being able to find out what happened to William Bisset that I may have missed out on my Thanks!! on the very person who did a lot of work and used sp credits but honestly it wasn't intended..My apologies Maureen, you have been a star <3 My apologies for the delayed reaction...What can I say :-( I'm not sure I can grovel any further down :-\

I suspect there were no children with William and Janet McQueen since she was much older?

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Nancy,

I worry about you sometimes. ;-) <3

You forgot to thank someone who did an awful lot of work on this thread...plus used credits on SP.

Hint..hint...

Reggie and Maureen, you have been brilliant too... <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Thanks Dea, think you may well have found the elusive William Bisset and his wife...All I need is confirmation. You have all been great, thanks guys, if you see anything else which sheds more light I will be eternally grateful

Yes,Nancy, a silversmith and a jeweller are quite often the same.
I have no doubt that that's your fellow's marriage.

Yes! I looked at the deaths for James and Bethia with the mothers surname of Wylie, but it didn't come up with that name, just came up without it, so I'm guessing this isn't our William and Janet Wylie's children, perhaps Janet was too old for children if she is already 50 in 1871.

:-(

Have you looked for marriages or deaths for William's siblings to check out the name given for the mother please?
