Find Ancestors

Ages are a bit confusing.
You would probably be best getting on to SP and getting some more details.hopefully it will confirm a few things.


Marion

God, I'm well confused (as always)

Sandra

Dont know about Miss Marple... I could be wrong lol
Here is the 1871ages dont quite add up. Maybe the onw Helen found could be right on the 1901 she found.
I'm off out but will look in later.

Two Angus....I should add thats just an idea...I may well be wrong ;))
It has been known though, after a death of one the name another child the same. I know it wasnt death in your case though.

Janet -.Jessie. Jane-Jean

Popped on before I get my tea on.

The Two Angus had me thinking and I came up with the idea that although there was an Angus he wasnt names after Dougalla father so they named his son Angus too.
So doing my detective work i found this on IGI

Extracted birth or christening record for the locality listed in the record. The source records are usually arranged chronologically by the birth or christening date.

What do you think?

This whole family is a nightmare. lol

Think that previous census for 1901 must be wrong.

The parents would have been too young to have been married in 1881.

Helen

Helen,
Duncan was born 25 DEC 1889.

Sandra

Jane, Janet, Jean, Jessie, Jenny ... are all interchangable.

Can you figure out the difference in the parents ages .. via census and marriage ?

Helen,
Thank you very much.
Is Jessie another name for Jane (or vice versa?)

Sandra

Possible: (although parents ages on the census and at time of marriage may not match)

Angus was born in 1880 in South Uist, he was illigitimate, his mother was Margaret Bowie, she married Dugald Morrison in 1882.
On marriage cert for Angus it looks like Aerated Heater Salesman?


(I have to pop out shopping, be about an hour, sorry)

Sandra

Just searched for Angus and Margarets marriage. Nothing came up with those names and spelling.
