Find Ancestors

Hello Dawn, My apologies for not responding to your reply on the 26th. I seem to have trouble finding replies sometimes. Information was much appreciated thank you. If you have time I have another request. Could you please try to locate the MACKIE family at Dalry in Ayrshire. I would like to confirm the marriage of William Mackie to Margaret Crawford in1819 and their children please. I have James c-1820, William c-1823 Elizabeth c-1824, John c-1829. I believe those four came to Australia but can't be certain they are all correct and there was probably more of them. Thanks a lot.....Heather

Hi Dawn Thank you so much for doing the look up the information you got for the riddicks is great thanks again Margaret

Hi Dawn Thank you for looking.I did know about Thomas and Agnes' children. Thank you again for taking the time to look. regards Janet

Also the marraige of Thomas Mennie(1806)Methlick ,aberdeenshire,and Isabella Shand(1817)methlick. Im sorry i dont know of ant siblings except the for mentioned Thomas Mennie(1847). Thanks Sue

Hello, Thank you for this kind offer, I'm really hoping you may be able to help. My 3xGt Grandfather Col(l)in Pennycook (several variations) was born c.1838 Dundee, Co.Angus. His father was also called Colin (from marriage cert.) and was a Flaxdresser. In the Scottish 1841 census they were living at Park Wynd, Dundee Angus. I believe Colins mother may have been called Barbara. I am really stuck on this family. Colin Jnr moved to the Sunderland area, he was there by 1851 census and married in 1857 where his surname was given as Pennecook. But I can find no info. before that. Usual sources are drawing a blank ie Ancestry Scotlandspeople. I've had a quote for a lookup from Scottish Roots but the minimum price was £95! Can you help? Nina

Hi Dawn, Very many thanks for trying. 'Season's Greetings'. Cath.

ALEXANDER SCARSBROOK Hi Sandra I'm sorry but I won't be able to help with your search as my records only go up to the mid 19th century. Your Grandparents would have probably been born near the end of the century, so wouldn't appear in them. Hope you can find someone who can help. Dawn :-)

JOAN DOBSON Hi Joan I had a look for Isabella but that name only went up to 1860, so I had a look for Sarah in case she was Isabella's sister but again nothing. So I had a look for Charles, the latest of these was in 1854. I know I was clutching at straws but thought there was a good possible that his mum's maiden name was Austin but none came up. Sorry I couldn't help more. Dawn :-)

KELLY GARRATTY Hi Kelly Have sent you a PM. Dawn :-)

GLORIA LYNCH Hi Gloria I had a quick look to see if I could Hugh or his parent's marriage but nothing came up in my records. The only way that I might be able to find Mary's parent's would be if you had a rough idea where and when she was born. Otherwise it's going to be a hugh list of names. Get back to me. Dawn :-)

ELSIE JONES Hi Elsie This was the only David that I could find in Argyle near to 1838, maybe he's yours! I know some of my family in Scotland are down as being born in one town but are listed as being born in the next town. Not sure if this is the case with your David. Sorry I couldn't help more. Dawn :-) DAVID FERGUSON, ch 24 Jan 1838, Sothend, Argyle, Father ANDREW FERGUSON, Mother ANN HERVEY

DEBRA SHAW Hi Debra Do you have a rough idea when Elizabeth was born? As this will help to narrow the search down a bit? Thanks Dawn :-)

AUDREY VAN RENSBURG Hi Audrey I'm afraid that I can't help with your search as my records only go up to 1854 and a little later. I had a quick look just in case, but my records didn't go that late. Hope you can find her soon. Dawn :-)

ISOBEL MCEWAN Hi again Isoble I couldn't find anything for James or his parent's in my records. Sorry I couldn't help with this one. Dawn :-)

MARGARET KNOWLES Hi Margaret I sadly couldn't find a marriage for either of these two couples. But I did find 3 more possible children for the first couple and 4 for the second. All were born in the county of Kirkcudbright. Dawn :-) JANET RIDDICK, ch 6 Mar 1805, Troqueer MARY RIDDICK, ch 21 Aug 1808, Tongland ELIZA MORISON RIDDICK, ch 17 Apr 1810, Tongland WILLIAM RIDDICK, b 4 Feb 1842, Kirkpatrick Durham JAMES RIDDICK, ch 28 Jul 1844, Kirkpatrick Durham ELISABETH RIDDICK, ch 16 Dec 1847, Parton MARY RIDDICK, ch 12 Feb 1850, Parton

ISOBEL MCEWAN Hi Isobel There were a number of marriages for a Euphan and Isabel throughout Scotland but this was the only one that I could find after they were born in Dumfries. I think it might be a bit too late for Isabel, but you never know. Sorry I couldn't help more. Dawn :-) ISABEL HOGG married GEORGE BOYD, 5 Jul 1807, Dumfries, Dumfries

GILLIAN MIDDLETON Hi Gill I found these two possibles for your Mary. These were the only two in my records that were born in place starting GLA. Hope one turns out to be yours, sorry I couldn't cut it down more for you. Dawn :-) MARY MILLER, b 22 Apr 1810, Glasgow, Refrew, Father WILLIAM MILLER, Mother GRISEL URE MARY MILLER, b 20 Jul 1811, Glasgow, Refrew, Father JOHN MILLER, Mother ANN CUTHBERT

Dawn This might be a long shot but could you try looking for a Marriage. I have a VINCENT WILDE in my tree who married a DELPHINA/DULPHINA, but the only thing I know is that Vincent was born in Sancton, Yorkshire and Delphina/Dulphina in Scotland. They had several chidren namely:- Joseph Mathias Wilde born 1856 in Scotland Vincent Wilde born 1862 in Scotland. Thomas Wilde born 1864 in Scotland. James Wilde born 1866 in Scotland. Margaret A Wilde born 1869 in Scotland. Jane Wilde born 1871 in Chester. Would like their Mother's Maiden name if possible. Joy

Dawn - hope this request goes on your thread as it's on page 15 already. Anyway, here goes. Looking for Ann FAWCETT, born somewhere between 1838 and 1844 (depending on whether you look at census age or marriage certificate age) in Glasgow. Parents believed to be Joseph (born c 1791 in Yorkshire) and Ann (born c 1802 in Kent)

Oh I see your records don't go this far - you might have the Marriage maybe between a James Barr and a Sarah Moore around 1886 possibly Glasgow? Thanks.
