Hi Lorna St James Road, Forfar. That address comes up on many occasions in the census for the DON family, so there may be a connection. I won't know until I put all this puzzle together. Now Ann DON maiden name LOW married Thomas DON Thomas DON's parents are James DON and Mary CARNEGIE/CARNEGY Ann LOW's parents are Andrew LOW and Catherine WHITTON. The other day the curiosity got to me with Wendy's posting as Ann DON m.s LOW and the fact her daughter Catherine has the middle name WHITTON And of course it connected with my family but I have never been able to find Catherine WHITTON the mother of Ann DON m.s LOW ancestors MAYBE your below email is the connection. I will have another search today and send you what I have found. Thanks Lorna for your time sending this. Kindest Regards Kristina Cameron (NZ) Wendy, Here is what I have found out about my WHITTON family. I have taken out the cause of Agnes's death in 1863 as it may cause offence to any potential family who may connect with this information in years to come. I can always let those who are interested know off list. Hope this is ok? Agnes Dawson, b. 17th Sept 1820, Forfar; d. 5th Sept 1863, Aberlemno First daughter of Peter Dawson and Jean Mitchell m. John Whitton, b. 1818, Airlie, Perthshire; d. 16th Feb 1900, Forfar on 7th June 1840, Forfar (Parish of Glamis) They had at least seven children: Jean Wilson Whitton, b. 7th Feb 1841, Forfar William Whitton, b. 1843, Rattray, Perthshire Jess Whitton, b. 1845, Kinnettles, Forfar Mary Whitton, b. 9th Dec 1849, Kinnettles, Forfar James S Whitton, b. 1852, Kinnettles, Forfar John Whitton, b. 1856, Forfar Agnes Whitton, b. 1859, Forfar Agnes died by drowning herself at Milldam, Kirkton, Aberlemno. Her husband John Whitton was the informant on the death certificate. He is noted as being a Wright. John died at 2 St James Road, Forfar aged 81 years - he never remarried. His grandson-in-law Alexander H Gordon, living at 16 St James Road, Forfar was the informant. I haven't quite worked out how Alexander Haxton Gordon (b. 27th Feb 1886, Loons Road, Lochee son of John Gordon and Margaret B Gordon, m.s. Haxton m. 1st Jan 1885, Lochee) is connected to John Whitton other than Alexander's grandmother was Margaret Whitton who married Alexander Dall. 1851 - Census - Douglastown, Forfar John Whitton Head 33 b. 1818, Airlie, Forfarshire Joiner Agnes Whitton Wife 30 b. 1821, Forfar Wilson Whitton Dau 10 b. 1841, Forfar At school William Whitton Son 8 b. 1843, Rattray At school Jess Whitton Dau 6 b. 1845, Kinnettles At school Mary Whitton Dau 1 b. 1850, Kinnettles At home David Balharrie Serv 19 b. 1832, Airlie Joiner Note: the above entry for 'Wilson Whitton' was actually incorrectly recorded.

Her father John Whitton is noted as being a 'wright' and her mother is noted as being 'Ann Whitton, m.s. Davidson'. I am not sure what the reason for this might be - but other details are correct, even to the point of Helen Kidd being a witness to the marriage! The addresses were 11 St James Road, Forfar and 25 Dundee Road, Forfar. David Simpson was the son of John Simpson (Pavement Quarrier) and Elizabeth Simpson, m.s. Henderson. He was a Plash Miller. Jean is noted as being a Linen Weaver. In the 1861 Census their daughter Mary Simson (or Simpson) was noted as staying with her grandparents Agnes Dawson and John Whitton. Mary was born illegitimate, but the marriage of her parents in 1862 legalised her birth (document amended 18th June 1862). Her father David Simpson is noted on the birth certificate as being the father.

Hi Lorna, Can you connect "your lot" to "my" WHITTONs? Kristina tells me that Catherine WHITTON married Andrew LOW. In answer to Kristina's earlier question - I have no idea if James SWAN's parents came to New Zealand. I've never heard any mention of them apart from his marriage registration - which I now know named his mother incorrectly!

In a 1871 census record for Alexander Doctor of Bouper Road, Backmuir is listed as a fee holder in the rank or profession column.What exactly is a fee holder? If anyone can help me out, I would be grateful. Wendy

Thanks also for the information about gravestones, it is a shame that there are none, but fab that there is some documentation about them. I very much appreciate this.

Hi Lorna, While records exist for Inverarity burial ground for the period they are very basic and not set out in the way a newly laid out cemetery dating from about 1855 would be. For example there are no lair numbers, the burial place is derived by measurement from two boundary walls. Also, as there are no lair registers, it is not possible to see a list of people buried in the same ground. However, there is a record of John Dawson's burial and he was buried 15 1/3 yards from the South wall and 15 1/3 yards from the West wall ... with the complication that the western boundary was extended at one time and the 1855 measurement is probably from the original wall. I also found an entry for Peter Dawson of 54 Forfar Lone who was buried on May 29th 1844 age 54 (13 yds from S, 18yds from W so close to John.). Jean Dawson of 57 Teuchat Croft was buried May 2nd 1863 age 75 (12 yds from S, 16 2/3 yds from W, more or less alongside Peter). There is also a Mary Dawson of 27 Dundee Rd, Forfar, buried 20th November 1857 age 27 (16 yds from S, 15 yds from W ... seems to be in the same area as the other Dawsons. I visited the grave-yard and paced out the distances to locate only one stone ... and it is not the Dawsons. There is a fair stretch of grass in the likely area completely devoid of monuments!

Hi Kristina: I am curious about your LOWs. I have cousins of that name, all the descend from the marriage of a Robert Hutcheon LOW who married my GG aunt, Isabella POWRIE, child of John POWRIE and Jane Haddon INNES. Many in the family were born at 46 Hillbank Road in the heart of Hilltown, and many worked in the jute mills. Half of Robert & Isabella (or Isobella)'s nine children remained in Dundee, but 4-5 went to New Zealand, perhaps about 1890-1900.

I have not been able to find a birth record for James at Scotland's People so far. I've looked at a few possibilities, but have yet to find one that fits these parents. Can anyone help me find him in Scottish records?
