Susan: Does your Urquhart family have any Cumming/Comyn families tied in? Thanks Marilyn - FL USA -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Susan Hembury-Kellow Sent: Monday, September 24, 2007 11:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MIDLOTHIAN] URQUHART family of Dalkeith and South Leith I thought I'd optimistically update my URQUHART interests, in the hopes that there may be some other URQUHART researchers around. I have William URQUHART and Mary ROBERTSON - no date/location for marriage, but their first child (that I'm aware of) was born in 1763 in Dalkeith, Midlothian. No dates etc for William, but Mary ROBERTSON was born 2 Nov 1739, Dalkeith, Midlothian, dau of George ROBERTSON and Ann RESTOUN/RISTON. Children of William URQUHART and Mary ROBERTSON were: 1. William URQUHART, born 16 Dec 1763; bap 18 Dec 1763, Dalkeith, Midlothian. OPR reads: "William URQUHART and Mary ROBERTSON had a son born 16th December Bap'd the 18th called William, witnesses George ROBERTSON, Elder, & Robert ROBERTSON his son" 2. John URQUHART, born 7 Feb 1766; bap 9 Feb 1766, Dalkeith, Midlothian. OPR reads: "William URQUHART and Mary ROBISON had a son born 7 Febry and baptized the 9 curr't. by the name of John. Witnesses George ROBISON and Robert BURN." 3. Anne URQUHART, born 7 Aug 1767; bap 9 Aug 1767, Dalkeith, Midlothian. OPR reads: "William URQUHART and Mary ROBERTSON had a Daughter born 7th August and Baptized the 9th Current by the name of Anne. Witnesses George ROBISON and Robert ROBISON." 4. Alexander URQUHART, born 31 Mar 1770; bap 8 Apr 1770, Dalkeith, Midlothian. OPR reads: "William URQUHART and Mary ROBERTSON had a son born 31st March and baptized the 8th April thereafter by the name of Alexr. Witnesses George Robertson & George FLETCHER" (Alexander URQUHART became a Cork Cutter; he married Margaret KERR on 4 Jan 1788, South Leith, Midlothian, and the family eventually moved to Dundee). 5. Thomas URQUHART, born 22 Sep 1773; bap 27 Sep 1773, Dalkeith, Midlothian. OPR reads: "William URQUHART and Mary ROBERTSON had a son born 22 Sept and baptised 27th instant by the name of Thomas, witnesses Thomas ROBISON and Alexr URQUHART" Apart from my ancestor, Alexander URQUHART (born 1770, above) I don't know what happened to any of the children of William URQUHART and Mary ROBERTSON (so if anyone knows...?). Incidentally, I did wonder if the Alexander URQUHART who witnessed Thomas's baptism in 1773 may have been one of William URQUHART's brothers. To be honest, I'm completely stuck with my URQUHARTs, and would welcome any help to discover the identity of William URQUHART's parents. I would guess that William was born circa 1730/1740. Are there any burial registers for Dalkeith and South Leith (these seem the most likely places for William URQUHART's death)? Perhaps if I could find his burial, it might show his age at death.

Hi Jean, Your Alexander URQUHART and Martha VANCE were married in 1890, Gorbals, Lanarkshire. In 1891, they were living at Dennistoun, Glasgow Townhead, Lanarks. as follows: 1891 census 153, Garngadhill, Dennistoun, Glasgow Townhead, Lanarks Helen VANCE, Head, 62, Private Means, Ireland Francis VANCE, Son, 28, Engine Fireman (Stationary), Glasgow, Lanarks Agnes VANCE, Daur, 26, Cotton Spinner, Glasgow, Lanarks Hugh VANCE, Son, 20, General Labourer, Maryhill, Lanarks Alexander URQUHART, Boarder, 24, Mechanical Draughtsman, Invergordon, Rosshire Martha URQUHART, Boarder's Wife, 18, Maryhill, Lanarks I couldn't find an Alexander URQUHART born in Rosshire circa 1866, son of William URQUHART and Margaret GAIR. However, I did find the following in the IGI, and wonder if there has been some confusion over the mother's name: ALEXANDER URQUHART Birth: 01 JUN 1866 Rosskeen, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland Father: WILLIAM URQUHART Mother: CATHERINE GAIR William URQUHART and Catharine GAIR were married on 22 Dec 1843 at Logie-Easter, Ross And Cromarty. And in the 1871 census: 1871 census Hugh Miller Street, Rosskeen, Ross & Cromarty Wm. URQUHART, Head, 47, Painter, Avoch, Ross Catherine URQUHART, Wife, 46, Logie-Easter, Ross Jessie URQUHART, Dau, 19, Rosskeen, Ross Roderick URQUHART, Son, 14, Scholar, Rosskeen, Ross Christena URQUHART, Dau, 11, Scholar, Rosskeen, Ross Kenneth URQUHART, Son, 10, Scholar, Rosskeen, Ross Alexander URQUHART, Son, 5, Scholar, Rosskeen, Ross (NB Rosskeen is a coastal parish just west of Invergordon). Unfortunately, I can't see a Midlothian link, or an obvious link to my own URQUHART family. However, if you would like me to try to help further, do please feel free to contact me off-list.

Mary, I'm not sure when the cemetery closed but I have ancestors who died in Portobello in the early 1900s who were buried in Portobello cemetery. It is South of Milton Road East and just to the East of South Morton Street. See the map at: http://tinyurl.com/2gevjc When I was looking for information the Edinburgh council team were very helpful. I'll copy you an e-mail off list.

Ah Good for Australia: Actually we in this part of the world are very fortunate. When the people who declare the world is coming to an end on a certain day or hour, we just phone our friends in Australia and ask them to give us a call if it appears it is going to happen. After all they are ahead of us. Sorry, a bit off the subject I guess but I hope a little humour will not hurt anyone??!!

Hi Liz, It's daft o'clock in the morning here in Somerset, too, and oddly enough I'm up and about for much the same reason! I checked quickly in the IGI and see that Thomas WILLIAMSON married Ann KERR on 24 Oct 1854 at Saint Cuthberts, Edinburgh, Midlothian, so yes, it is a good deal later than our folks.

I thought I would update some of my Midlothian interests. William KER or KERR, a Shoemaker, married Ann STEWART in June 1746, with the marriage being proclaimed at both Dalkeith and Edinburgh. The OPRs for the marriage read: Dalkeith: "June 21st [1746]. William KER in this parish and Anne STEWART in the North West Kirk parish at Edr. declared their purpose of marriage. Caurs. Thomas KENNWAY, Caur. for the man, and David STEWART, Caur. for the woman. Married at Edr. 23rd June." (Note: the OPRs give a date of 15th June). Edinburgh: "[1746]. William KERR Shoemaker in Dalkeith & Ann STEWART d. to James STEWART of [Skelldonman? Shelldonnan?] in Bute now in NWP." Of possible relevance (especially as the Strother or Struther name appears to be important in our family), married on the same day at Edinburgh was the following couple: "Sat 15 June 1746. John Strother KER of Littleden in SEP & Mrs Mary/May PRINGLE, daur of the Deceased James PRINGLE of Torwoodlie? in NWP." William KERR and Anne STEWART had at least three children, probably more. These were: 1. Struther/Strother KERR, born 11 Jul 1747; bap 12 Jul 1747, Dalkeith. (OPR page damaged. "William KERR and Anne STEWART had a Son born 11th July Baptized 12th called Strother, witnesses Mr. David HENDERLEATH M---- in this place who ---------- the child and ------"). 2. Mary KER, born 25 Feb 1749; bap 26 Feb 1749, Dalkeith, Midlothian. (OPR: "William KER and Ann STEWART had a daur born 25 February bap 26 called Mary. Witnesses: Ja: SCOT, Clerk of Dalkeith, and John GRAY, Dweller there"). 3. Margaret KERR, born circa 1759 - no baptism yet found; died 5 Sep 1830, "age 70". Married Alexander URQUHART, 4 Jan 1788, South Leith. (OPR: "Alexander URQUHART, Cork Cutter in Leith, and Margaret KERR Daughter of the deceased William KERR late Shoemaker in Leith after proclamation of banns were married January 4th 1788"). If you have any info about, or connections to, any of the above families, I'll be very pleased to hear from you! I'm especially trying to find out about the STEWART family, who seemingly moved to Edinburgh from Bute sometime pre-1746. Best wishes, Sue

Hi Sue It is daft o'clock in the morning here in Manchester, but I think these may be mine. I have Annie KERR and I am sure she was the daughter of a shoemaker called William Kerr of Leith. However, I think they are later than this. I am still half asleep. She married Thomas WILLIAMSON. He died between 1881 and 1891 we think, cant find a death, but he was on 1881 census and not 1891, but he was a ship's carpenter and may have been at sea in 1891, although would have been rather old. so I think these KERR are a couple of generations later than yours. I will have a look in the morning when I am actually awake - I only got up for pain meds when the rain woke me Liz P > >I thought I would update some of my Midlothian interests. > >William KER or KERR, a Shoemaker, married Ann STEWART in June 1746, with >the >marriage being proclaimed at both Dalkeith and Edinburgh.

I have Wyllies from Midlothian, bur before the dates you mention. William Wyllie & Beatrix Dudgeon; John McKenzie Wyllie (1787-1877) and Agnes Knox/Elizabeth Herdman. Haven't traced the decendants other than my direct line but if you trace your Wyllie's back to the Edinburgh region I would be very interested. John McKenzie had a son called Alexander so maybe a connection with the names. My Wyllies were potters from the Portobello/Duddingston/Edinburgh regions before moving to Clackmannan, Stirling and Glasgow.

Thanks Bob, for taking the trouble to identify those Wyllie baptisms to parents Robert Wyllie & Mary WILSON in Duddingston & Canongate. Duncan, Dundee

Adrian in Australia said ... 'I have Wyllies from Midlothian, bur before the dates you mention. William Wyllie & Beatrix Dudgeon; John McKenzie Wyllie (1787-1877) and Agnes Knox/Elizabeth Herdman. ... My Wyllies were potters from the Portobello/Duddingston/Edinburgh regions before moving to Clackmannan, Stirling and Glasgow.' ...... One of my ROSS ancestors - Thomas ROSS (1814-1884) married an Agnes WYLIE (in South Leith 2 Jul 1838) and that record stated that her father was the late Robert WYLIE, Potter of Portobello. Although I haven't found a marriage, I have reason to believe that this Robert WYLIE married a Mary WILSON. Another of their children was John WYLIE (baptised Duddingston 3 Apr 1814, to Robert WYLIE, Potter in Portobello & Mary WILSON his spouse). One possibility for Robert WYLIE's parents would be the the person born 20 Jul 1780 & baptised (Saint Cuthberts) on 2 Aug 1780 to parents named as William WYLIE & Mary WILSON. Could any of these names - William - Robert - John etc be connected with your tree Adrian? Duncan, Dundee
