If they were married in Scotland, you can download an image of their marriage certificate for a modest fee at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk The certificate will tell you the couple's ages at birth and the full names of both parents. This should allow you to find them in the 1881 census and to work back systematically from there. If they were not married in Scotland, this is not the right place to ask about them. You need to post your query on a board which deals with the right place. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Is it possible that they were born in the Enzie, which was sometimes listed partly as being in Rathven and sometimes in Bellie? If so, might they have been Roman Catholic? There was a RC baptism of an Ann to Joseph Innes and Marjory Cameron in 1814. On the other hand, their daughter Margaret, born 1811, died in 1821 ... but then again, the 1881 census says that the widowed Margaret Gordon, born Rathven, was aged 58, so born 1822-23. LIBINDX says that there is a stone in Keith old Kirkyard commemorating Alexander Gordon, feuar in Keith, died 8 April 1872, his wife Margaret Innes, died 2 November 1902, George Craigen, died at Gordonstoun and his mother Ann Innes, died 10 June 1895. Another entry in LIBINDX says that Ann Duncan, born Rathven, mother of George Craigen, applied to Keith Parochial Board in 1893. The1881 census lists Ann Duncan, wife of William Duncan, 65, born Keith, as aged 64 and born in Keith. A George Craigen, aged 25, born Keith is listed in Gamrie with wife Maggie and daughter Maggie Gordon Craigen. The 1861 census lists at Square, Keith, Anne Innes, 43, born Rathven and George Craigon, son, aged 6, born Keith. It also lists William Duncan, 45, born Grange with wife Ann, 36,born Botriphnie and children Elspet, 8; William, 6, John, 3 and Ann, 1. This wife Ann is Ann McRobert. who married William Duncan in Keith on 15 November 1851. [Department of red herrings: the 1881 lists a James Duncan with wife Ann, aged 63, born Rathven. However the 1861 makes it clear that she is Ann Burnet, though it says she was born in Keith!] Have you got the death certificates of Ann and/or Margaret? Do they shed any light? > I just can't make the connection. Not sure which connection you are trying to make? Anne

Yes Mary and her twin Margaret were born on The Black Isle but I put down to the registrar just getting Mary Lobban's name wrong, all her other children were born in Bellie and the Banns and Poor Relief records clearly say LOBBAN or LOBAN. And I have tried LOGAN for a surname on the death record too when I was clutching at straws. I *assume* George Thomson and family were following the herring when Mary & Margaret were born - Mary Lobban is listed as a herring widow on one census too. ;-) Both grandchildren were illegitimate, Margaret Symon (daughter of Mary Thomson jnr), was registered as Margaret Thomson but 'became' Margaret Symon before her first census. George I have never found his birth record but there is no record of his mother (Ann Thomson) marrying his father (John McKimmie of Keith), both are recorded on his death certificate. >There is a Margaret >Thomson who married a John Symon at Enzie in 1897 and may provide >something to >look into regarding James Geddes Symon born in 1903.

I have tried THOMSON and GEDDES as surnames on his birth search too, but his two sisters were registered SYMON. I think I did look at that Margaret Thomson and John Symon before I got Margaret Symon's death record.

Been down that road, sorry, neither Scotland's People nor the Registrar's office have a record for James Symon (birth) or Mary Lobban (death) which both should be in the statutory records.

I am looking for a DUNCAN family. I'm not sure it's Banffshire, but I have an William DUNCAN married to Ann INNES in Keith, BA, 26 Nov 1863. On the marriage registration it shows his Father as Alexander DUNCAN and mother Elspet KEITH, William is given as a widower, age 47, but it maybe 49. (unclear) On the death registration 1888, March 13th; it shows a Wm Duncan as father (deceased) and mother as Elspet Duncan ms KEITH (deceased). The informant is ELSIE DUNCAN, daughter, ( present). Somehow, this Innes family is involved in Bellie, Moray. Ann and her sister Margaret (married Alexr. Gordon 1849, Bellie) and both lived there for a short time and show on census info there. Both girls are born in Rathven, and their parents moved from there to Keith, BA. I just can't make the connection. Any help out there? Goldie

Not as far as I know, though if we could but get a bit further back, who knows? I have amassed quite a lot of information about this family (and indeed all the other Burgess families in this part of the world) in the process of researching my own. This Elspet is a granddaughter of Alexander Burgess, who married Barbara Logie on the very same day that John Burgess, son of John Burgess and Helen Miller, married Elizabeth Buie, both in Bellie. Unfortunately Alexander died in 1819 so I cannot prove that he was a brother of John, though it does seem probable. Do you want details of Elspet's family? Best wishes Anne

Anne, Thank you for that advice/hint. I noticed that there was a Burgess family appearing in several of the census lists for Bogmoor...with one of their young ladies (Elspeth)combining with an Andrew Thomson from my tree to produce an Alexander Thomson in 1887 "on the wrong side of the blanket". Is this Burgess family yours,by any chance? Tom C.

Later Jane Brodie Simpson married George Geddes. I am interested in any of these names. Thanks for your help. Bye for now, Catherine

Hi Maggie I have done a bit of searching and looked at the 1871 Census where i found Mart Thomson aged 72 living in Bellie with her daughter Mary and two grandchildren Margaret Symon and George McKimmie. Mary (senior) is shown as being the widow of a Salmon Fisher and born in Boharm. Her daughter Mary is shown as being born in the Black Isle, Rosshire while the two grandchildren are shown as being born in Bellie. George McKimmie's occupation is Salmon Fisher. However, Mary Thomson (daughter) is listed in the IGI as being the daughter of George Thomson and Mary LOGAN not LOBBAN and when I tried to find the grandchildren's birth in Bellie I came up with a blank. There is a Margaret Thomson who married a John Symon at Enzie in 1897 and may provide something to look into regarding James Geddes Symon born in 1903. Enzie is close to Bellie. I have not looked any further but I think Scotlandspeople may hold some answers and may be worth spending a few pounds. It is the fact that I could find no birth records for Margaret Symon and George McKimmie and may suggest they were not baptised in the Established Church but as the births occurred after 1855 they should show in the Statutory registers.

An excellent and free graphic viewer and manipulator is Irfanview - it is the best by far that I have seen and allows you to do pretty much anything with images except actually editing - www.irfanview.com. It also seems to have a different compression/decompression method - as it often yields much clearer results than other viewers. You can't edit - ie draw lines etc - but you can change contrast etc. Kind Regards Murray Christchurch New Zealand Visit us at KiwiCelts.com <http://kiwicelts.com> * Cemeteries of New Zealand - Map, List and Web-links * Parishes of Northern Ireland - Map * Our Family History Barbara Nellesen wrote: > I'm so sorry there is a problem Anne.

Tom, Here's a fuller transcription of the MI, which is more helpful than a simple extract. I have, courtesy of George Jamieson: "Stone 143 Bellie Churchyard: George JAMIESON feuar Nether Dallachy d.23 Jun 1780 aged 61,wife Katharine INNES d.29 Jun 1780 aged 63,son Alex d.6 Feb 1782 aged 25,dau Hellen d.22 Dec 1789 aged 30,erected by James GEDDES in N.Auchinreath their......(rest of inscription hidden) John JAMIESON at Bogmoor d.24 Dec 1910 aged 86, wife Helen STEWART d.16 Aug 1908 aged 82." James GEDDES & Anne JAMIESON m. 28 Nov 1775 Bellie Ian Scott's list of Bellie baptisms has this: "born 7 Nov 1776 bpt 9 Nov 1776 : Geddes George Lawful Son : parents James Geddes & Ann Jamieson : res Nether Auchinreath : witnesses George Stewart, Tannachy & Mary Anderson, Culriach" "bpt 13 Sep 1778 : Geddes Margaret Lawful Daughter : parents James Geddes & Ann Jameson : res Nether Auchinreath : witnesses John Taylor, Dryburn & Margaret Jack, Nether Auchinreath" I'm informed that Anne's parents were George JAMIESON & Kathrine INNES m.1754 Bellie (seems reasonable!). James' parents are unknown, but by looking at the Bellie baptism list, I came up with this as a hypothetical ancestry: 1775: James Geddes m Ann Jamieson, and had two children, Nether Auchinreath. 1751: He could be James Geddes born 4-6-1751 to John Geddes and Margaret Wiseman, Nether Auchinreath. "born 4 Jun 1751 bpt 9 Jun 1751 : Geddes James Lawful Son : parents John Geddes & Margaret Wiseman : res Nether Auchinreath : Baptised by Mr Mill Minister of Speymouth" 1726: John Geddes could be bpt 30-10-1726 to Alexander Geddes and Helen Gallie, Nether Auchinreath. "bpt 30 Oct 1726 : Geddes John Lawful Son : parents Alexander Geddes & Helen Gallie : res Nether Auchinreath : wit John Stewart in Culriach, John Annand in Upper Dallachie, John Burges in Nether Auchinreath, John Petrie in Nether Auchinreath" Hope this provides some clue to the ancestry of your James JAMIESON & Helen STEWART.
