Find Ancestors

Hi Jean,
I have been on scotlandspeople again & I must be missing something here.
Going by the names of the children you have given me, all belong to WILLIAM STEVENSON & ISABELLA ROLLO BORN IN STIRLING COUNTY.
William & Isabella Rollo married 16/8/1825 Stirling.

No births coming up for these names with the parents being William Stevenson & Isabella Miller in Stirling.
I'll have to look at the 1841/1851 Census again as I can't find your family.

I'm certainly missing something.

Regards
Kath

Hi Kath,

Yes I checked scotlandspeople tonight too and checked the same one as you and this is not my William Stevenson. I have a list of children though fron the 1851census and they are as follows: - Alexander Stevenson, Andrew S, Archibald S, David S, Elizabeth, Isabella S and James S (S for Stevenson of course).

Isabella died in Auchenbowie in 1890 so I have been assuming that William died there too but no luck finding him.

Will let you know if I find out anything else.

Jean,
Can you tell me what children William Stevenson & Isabella Miller had?
Dates & places would be great if you know any of them.
It sometimes helps to find the father's parents using the scottish naming pattern.

Hi Again Jean,
I has another look on scotlandspeople after your latest reply and found the following.

WILLIAM STEVENSON DEATH 1872 STIRLING BIRTH YEAR 1797
Note it's not St. Ninians, just stirling on the districts.

Can you let me know please if this is your William

Warmest Regards
Kath

Hi Kath,

When Isabella died in 1890 she was 87 and was recorded as widow of William Stevenson Labourer Outdoor.

I have a record of their marriage in 1825 at St. Ninian's and it is from that I saw that William was detailed as St. George's Glasgow.
I also have Census details for William and Isabella in 1841 and 1861 so William must have died between 1861 and 1890. In 1861 he was living in Auchenbowie, St. Ninian's, Stirlingshire. This is why I could not understand why I couldn't find his death cert.

I will have a look on Scotland's people again and maybe come up with something and have a look at those you found for me.

Much obliged for your prompt help.

If I find out anything else I will post it on here straight away.

Regards,
Jean

Hi Jean,
What census information do you have?

Kath

If you have Isabella's death certificate was she "widow of" or "married to" William? If he died before 1855 you will have to rely of burial records.

If anyone has any information on this family I would be delighted to hear from them. William was born in 1796 and Isabella was Isabella Miller born C1803. I have Isabella's death certificate and their wedding details (1825) and interestingly enough William is mentioned as being from St. George's Glasgow. I also have census certificates but would love to learn a little more about them. Isabella's parents were Nicol and Janet Miller nee Cowan. I cannot seem to find William's death certificate.

Look forward to hearing from anyone with more informaton.

Jean
