To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Hi all I have long had this problem so thought I would share it with you My great great grandfather George ANDERSON b1799 Lesmahagow was a West India Merchant He was in Demerara from at least 1827 but back in the UK by around 1838 In his will he mentions a daughter born to Sarah FRASER of Demerara The only sighting I have of Mary is in the 1851 census, the SMITHs were half siblings of George ANDERSON Cathcart Book 631, ED 1 Page 4, Schedule 11 Little Aikenhead SMITH Jean Head Unm f 44 Annuitant LKS Lesmahagow SMITH Jessie Sister Unm f 35 Annuitant LKS Lesmahagow MCDONALD George Lodger Unm m 14 Scholar OVF South America SMITH Janet Visitor Wid f 66 Annuitant STI Kippen BROOKS Margaret Servant Unm f 21 House Servant STI Falkirk ANDERSON Mary Lodger Unm f 24 Annuitant OVF South America But what became of her after 1851? The SMITHs and other ANDERSON children are accounted for and no mention is found of Mary Did she return to Demerara or marry or die, all my searches so far have been fruitless
