Thank you for your response Ray. I did look at Scotlands people for all Scotland but may have missed that one. I will take a look again.

There is no death certificate in Kincardineshire after 1855 for a William LUMSDEN born in the period 1778-1782 HOWEVER there is one born c. 1781 who died in Aberdeenshire in 1861, aged 80. Depending on dates he might have been born in 1780 or 1781 - or remember that his age might be wrong on the DC. There is no Record of the death of Ann LUMSDEN/CALLUM of any age in the whole of Scotland after 1855. You didn't give her age/DoB and I can't find them on the 1841 Census on FreeCEN [which doesn't have Stonehaven!]. I'd guess she died before 1855. It might be worth a small investment in ScP to have a look at the death certificate for William LUMSDEN. He might be your guy and maybe Ann died before the start of statutory registration in 1855. If he is recorded as a widower it should give his wife's maiden name. It is quite possible he moved to Aberdeenshire [not the city - I looked] to be with family. This may or not help you. Hope it does. -- Best wishes Ray ********************************************************** >From Ray Hennessy Forenames website: www.whatsinaname.net Preferred Email address: ray@whatsinaname.net Hints for Scotland's People at http://bit.ly/WIAN-SCP ********************************************************** ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ABERDEEN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
