:Hello Rhona I would be interested indetails of the death of Agnes Forrest in 1897 Many thanks Mary

Hello List, My Great Great Grandfather was James Ferdinand Douglas Paxton and his sister was Agnes Paxton who Married William Taylor on 27 May 1842 their eldest child a daughter was Margaret Taylor born 22 June 1843. I only found out earlier this year about Margaret. I knew William and Agnes Taylor had two sons one named William Taylor the other James Paxton Taylor. But found out that they had a daughter named Margaret who was with them in the 1851 Census. I then Found Margaret Taylor's marriage to Hugh Gillies on 7 June 1864. They had at least 4 Boys and two girls. William Taylor Gillies born 22 April 1865 Janet Muir Gillies born 8 September 1867 James Taylor Gillies born 6 July 1869 Agnes Paxton Gillies born 13 November 1870 Hugh Gillies born 9 October 1872 Peter Paxton Gillies born 15 January 1875 All born in Musselburgh, Midlothian, Scotland. Do anyone have this family in their tree please. Thank you in advance Kind Regards Pamela J Groves nee Paxton

I have had in my possession for quite a few years now a letter dated the 20th January 1831 from a Henry Cheape of Contts & Co in London. The letter advises payment of 100 pounds less Fees ( 22/3) P98.17.9 for JAMES LINDSAY. The Letter was addressed to DAVID WEMYSS at Mrs Stewarts, 3 Albyn Place Edinburgh. It took two days to arrive in Edinburgh and cost 1/2 p. Thought Listers may be interested in it and for those out there with links to those named in the letter. Regards Robert Gibson Hallam Australia

Hi Robert, I am indeed interested! Is there a way to send a scan of the letter or a typed version? The Lindsay name is my most important . Thanks, Lorraine Our long-term girlfriends form our safety net, the ones who know our histories, our secrets, our travails, and our successes.

Hi Margaret Thanks for the input. The Thomas (cabinet maker) can now be removed from our possibility list as my Thomas was intested into the Sappers and Miners late 1841 and by 1851 was living in New Zealand. The Thomas birth in 1826 is too late to be mine.

In the 1841 census return for Midlothian there is a Thomas Robertson aged 28 born in Midlothian and in the same dwelling was a James ROBERTSON 56 and a Margaret ROBERTSON 63. I can find no record of the birth or baptism of Thomas and I would greatly appreciate any further information on him, his parents or his siblings. Thanks, Murray, Hamilton, NZ

Murray: The following entries are from my web site, www.scotsfind.org. They are the Thomas ROBERTSONs born in Edinburgh during the period 1810 - 1816. The name at the end of each entry is the child's mother's name. The name before the parish name is the father's name. There is a 7 year difference between John's and Margaret's ages so I would wonder if they are husband and wife or related in some other way. You might take a look at the ROBERTSON births and baptisms database sorted by the mother's name and see if you can find a match. Good hunting!
