Hello Everyone, I am on my Albert and Sarah Bowling which I found in Missouri and there were sooooo many Bowling can anyone help me sort them all out please! Barbara [email protected]

Dear Jo-Ann, Thanks for your research and interest. I had researched that the HARVEY family had moved from Gamrie, BANFFSHIRE to Stirling. I also researched at King St several years ago that William appeared with his parents and siblings in the 1851 census when he would have been 6 yrs old. It is said that he ran away from the ill-treatment by his step-mother at age 14, that would have been in 1859, two years before the 1861 census in which he does NOT appear in the several censuses searched through for Banffshire only. I did not have the time to look into other censuses over the whole of Sotlkand to see where he may have been, However, in the intervening years between my last visit to King Street, Aberdeen and the present, I believe that all Scottish censuses have been made available 'on line'. Could you please tell me how to access them. I have also learnt that Scottish wills have been put 'on line' . If so, and you know how to access them, would you please let me know because I would like to see if Charles HARVEY, William's father, bequeathed anything to his son. In this way I might be able to ascertain. if William had told his father where in the world he was, especially if it wasn't NZ at the time of Charles writing the will. I don't quite follow your reasoning in writing that the typical family story has, in this case, been killed. Margaret BROWN could well have been William's stepmother in 1859 when he was 14. There could be a record of the death or otherwise of a first Mrs HARVEY (nee whatever) prior to, say, about 1858(?) Anyway, at the time of the death of William's (step?)mother, Margaret BROWN, William had been married in NZ for 7 years and had about 3 children of his own, all New Zealanders. Even if he had been a 'mummy's boy' (which he wasn't) and stayed at home, till age 30 (! ! ! ! ! !) (which he didn't) putting up with ill treatment from his step-mother, I could not imagine him running away from home on the occasion of her death. With her gone, there would have been no reason, then to run away. Are you American, Jo-Ann. Your ISP being att.net reminds me that a professional colleague of mine had that ISP when employed by an American Company. I look forward to your reply. Should I 'take cover' and view it from behind some sand bags?

The "typical story" remark was due to many families having "romantic" stories about why their ancestors left home. My family has "the forced into marriage at age 16 to an old man" story about my great-grandmother on one line. It turned out that she married the first time at age 20 to a man her age and they moved away. He died and she remarried at age 22 to the richest man in the area. Another story has proved true with research. My French-Canadian great-grandfather was said to have immigrated to America alone at age 17. And it seems he did. ------------------- Jo-Ann Croft

Author: Forfarian Surnames: Dingwall, Walker Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.scotland.mor.general/2329.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: LIBINDX at http://libindx.moray.gov.uk/mainmenu.asp mentions the birth of George Dingwall, son of George Dingwall and Jean Walker, at Hopeman in 1840. This fits with the age of George Jr in the 1851 census. Most of the children in the census were born in Hopeman, which is in the parish of Duffus, and for some reason the 1820-1854 Duffus baptisms have been omitted from both the IGI and the Scotland's People index. The GROS knows about the omission and it will be corrected, so if they're in the register they should become available through SP in due course. If you go to SP at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk you should be able to find George and Jean's death certificates, assuming of course that they died in Scotland after 1855. These should tell you the names of their parents, and thus get you back another generation. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
