Find Ancestors

Hi Christine,

I doubt by now that Sandra will be monitoring this old thread from over 2 years ago.

If you click on her name, you may be better to send her either a personal message or start your own thread on your chap.

Best of luck

I am interested in who might have been the parents of Jean Forsythe of Carmunnock? I am wondering if she might be the sister of 'my' William Moses Forsyth born c. 1808 in Carmunnock?

Thanks for any help.

That is true Scottish records are easier although they do cost a bit especially when I had such little info to start with. Also My great Granfather walter buchanan who moved to london must have told a few porkys about his birth date on marriage cert and on 1911 cencus. So I was looking for him 6 years later!!!! which was why I could not find him. But after many hours and a bucket full of credits I eventually found him and then with all your help managed to find his family.

It was amazing
Can't wait to give all the info to my mum as she never knew him, he died before she was born and she only had what her mother could remember and she was 8 when he died.

Any way thanks again to everyone for all your hard work.

Sandra

All I can say is THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH

I have been looking for this information for so long now and at last i have the answers.

It will take a bit of time to digest all the info and sort it all and add it to my tree.

I am so pleased to have the answers as i said before we had such little info on him and his family so all this is amazing.

THANK YOU ALL once again

You are all stars
:)

There is a death for a Walter Buchanan born 1831 +/- 2, between 1876 and 1886 in Lanark showing on scotlandspeople.

Thank you all so much for all your help the very illusive Buchanan and extended Family are at last coming together.
My mum will be so pleased because she knew very little about he grandfather until now only that he was born in scotland and had possibly a twin sister. So all this info is great news for all of us.

Just got to find Walter Buchanan Snr's death now. Si i will keep hunting

Thanks you all so much again you are all Stars

Sandra

just printing it out

It is the right one!!!!

Cleaver people :)


Her husband is Peter Miller Father Hugh Miller and Mother Agnes Graham

Also her father Walter is Deceased so that narrows the dates for his death to between 1876 and 1886

Oh my god you clever people!!
That does sound right
Just printed off the death cert for Agnes and on looking at it her mother was a Forsythe.
Which site did you get the info from... Ancestry?
Will look for the marriage now

thanks
Sandra

Just got the cert downloaded and the informant is her son Walter.
So still no joy on Janes whereabouts
but thanks for that info will have another look for Walter snr death now as well because I have not found that on either.

Thanks for your help

Sandra

Great news
I have scotlandpeople credits but have searched and searched and now you have found it don't know how i missed.
thanks anyway will have a look now

sandra

Thanks for that info Sablon.

I will check them out and post anything I find out.

Thanks again for all your help

Sandra

Hi Sablon
Yep that is Walter jnrs Marriage.
Seems funny we can't find his sister Jane anywhere.
Maybe she did move to london with Walter but you would have thought she would have been a witness at his wedding if she was around and it is only the Dufosee family on there.
I will have to keep searching
thank you for all your help

Sandra

perhaps it might be worth checking these marriages out.pick one of the men and check the app/ census against the man to see where the jane was born .the marriages took place in London It's a long shot.but you never know,

Buchanan Walter Poplar 1c 1036
Dufosee Jane Susannah Poplar 1c 1036

The district Poplar is an alternative name for Poplar and it spans the boundaries of the counties of Greater London, London and Middlesex;

i can't find any proof of marriage in scotland,there are some,but no father mentioned,

just relooking at the moment but Can't find the family on 1881 cencus at the moment.
I know Walter jnr moved to london and Married in 1896 Jane Dufosee. But as to where the others are or if they are alive I have not been able to see. Only thing I do know from the Marriage of Walter Jnr and Jane Dufosee is Walter Buchanan Snr is Deceased and his mother is not on the cert at all.

Sandra

can you find her in 1881 ??in scotland

there are a lot of marriages in england for Jane if she moved

I don't know. Walter and Jane are the only ones I have found and looking on the 1871 cencus they are the only children then.

So not sure

Sandra
