Hello Lisa and Co I am still trying to prove the parentage of Margaret McDonald born South Ronaldsay in about 1805 she married James INGLIS a fisherman in about 1829 and they then lived in Gravesennd Kent near London where all their children were born. They had 6 children the last of which Christian Ellen was my GGGrandmother. James was born in Kent but his parents came from Berwick-on-tweed and Dunbar on the Scotish border. I am at a loss to explain how they would have met and am not even completely sure about where they married. Anyone got an interest or can help me out. Regards Christine M Stone

Lisa et al, There is also a London and London Bay on Eday.

Christine She is not from my William MacDonald and Elizabeth MacKay, they do have a daughter Margaret born in Sutherland about 1807 but she married Peter Guthrie and lived her life out in South Ronaldsay I know there is another MacDonald family in South Ronaldsay, that as far as I know is no relationship to mine Have you looked at the 1811 census that Lisa Conrad has on her site? She should be on it as a child with her parents Cathy

There is a London in Orkney somewhere...do you know Margaret's parents names by chance?

Hello, In the 1821 So. Ronaldsay census, there is a James WALLS, age 14, at Kingshouse (Household #34 in the South Parish). You will see he was with a John, Helen and Margaret Rosie: <http://www.southronaldsay.net/1821/notes/11,033-042-lconrad.html#34> I strongly suspect that this is the son James, of James WALLS and his wife, Elspet CHALMERS. He was baptized 21st June 1807, South Parish of So. Ronaldsay. Would anyone be able to confirm for me, that this James Walls in that census household was indeed their son? I'd like to be able to insert all the information that I've gathered for this James (baptism, marriages, death), into my 1821 Census Notes, but I want to feel more confident that I have the "right James", that is, that he was the one in Household #34 in that 1821 census. James Walls and "Elspit" Chalmers can be located at the Flaws, South Parish, Household #114 in the same census. <http://www.southronaldsay.net/1821/notes/11,111-117-lconrad.html#114> I believe I've traced James Walls (Junior-- b.1806/1807) to Walls & Flotta, Orkney. .- His first marriage was to an Isabella McKAY on 9th January 1829, Walls. .- (I am not sure yet when Isabella McKay died, but it was sometime between 1829 and 1881. I do not know much about her.) .- His 2nd marriage, in 1881, was to Ann Sutherland, widow of Magnus Mowat of Flotta. (Ann and Magnus married in Feb. 1860; sadly, in June of 1860, Magnus and his uncle, also named Magnus Mowat, went down in a boat in the Pentland Firth.) .- James Walls' death was on 18th October 1890, Flotta, being noted as "about 85 years" old, and "Married to Ann Sutherland [widow of Magnus Mowat, deceased] and formerly [married] to Isabella McKay". .- Ann Sutherland died on the 25th February 1920, Flotta.

Lisa Yes they married in London, I have a copy of the marriage cert They also moved to Australia for a bit And James died a sea......I have his death record tho James MacDonald born Jan 18 1847 Burray, Orkney married Margaret Wishart Stewart March 30 1877 at St. George in the East, London England She was born Oct 6 1855 at Hall, South Ronaldsay He died at sea June 21, 1906, on his way back to Scotland from Australia She died 1922 (only have the stone) St. Margarets Hope Did you want the kids too Lisa?? Cathy

:-) Thanks, Cathy. I appreciate it! (Hi Bruce - There is a "London" on So Ronaldsay but I knew, in this instance, that this was not the place to which that 1878 birth register was referring.) Thanks again! (I don't really need the children's names, unless you want to send them to me. Up to you!) - Lisa ------------- Cathy Wagner wrote: > Lisa > > Yes they married in London, I have a copy of the marriage cert > They also moved to Australia for a bit > And James died a sea......I have his death record tho > > > James MacDonald born Jan 18 1847 Burray, Orkney > married Margaret Wishart Stewart March 30 1877 at St. George in the East, > London England > She was born Oct 6 1855 at Hall, South Ronaldsay > He died at sea June 21, 1906, on his way back to Scotland from Australia > > She died 1922 (only have the stone) St. Margarets Hope > > Did you want the kids too Lisa?? > > Cathy > ------------------ > List Archives, information on contacting list administrator, Subscribing and UnSubscribing can be found at: > > http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/SCT/ORKNEY.html > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ORKNEY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > >

amendment: the birth for Isabella Jane McDonald was in 1878, not 1877. >

-- This is kind of a shout-out to Cathy Wagner, but if anyone else knows too, that would be great! -- I've started coming across birth register(s) for children of a James McDONALD, Master Mariner, and his wife, Margaret STEWART. As yet, I don't have a marriage record for this pair. But the 1877 birth register for their daughter, Isabella Jane McDonald, has their marriage as "1877 - March 30th - London". I assume this would be London, England, in this case (right, Cathy?). I see an 1885 birth register for their son, William Stewart McDonald, which has a different date and place: "1877 - March 31st - South Ronaldshay". Anyone know the real marriage date and place? Thank you, Lisa

I want to thank Judith and Willie for helping me with my query. :-) - Lisa >

Lisa Free BMD index lists a marriage in June Quarter 1889, South Shields, Ref: 10a 1111 for James Taylor Gutcher and Elizabeth Wright Thomson. If you wanted more details you would have to send for the certificate. I use S Shields records myself from time to time so will bear them in mind.

Hello -- I am wondering if anyone has any confirmation of a South Shields marriage in 1889, for So Ronaldsay "Strays", James Taylor GUTCHER [b.1861, So. Ron. / d.1895, So. Ron. - son of William Gutcher and his wife, Catherine Taylor] and Elizabeth Wright THOMSON [b.1866, So. Ron. / d. ? - daughter of Robert Thomson and his wife, Catherine Duncan]. In a birth register for one of their children, the parents' marriage is listed as having occurred "1889 - April 26th, South Shields" [England]. I was just looking for a few more confirmations of this date & place. Many thanks! - Lisa PS - Also wonder if anyone knows when/where Elizabeth died and if she ever remarried

Hi all If you go to the following http://www.ancestralscotland.com/ and register you get a code for 10 credits for SP. Willie

That A in South RonaldshAy was the other one I saw that looked the same down the page. Its pretty much the one that made me think it was as I had [originally] thought. I hate it when I'm right, then convince myself I'm not and find out I really was. So do my kids. An the CUMMING ! Thanks for saying its the one in the last entry. Yep, I agree its CUMMING ! However, I was horribly misled by the interfering letter on the line above it. You just can't believe what you read anymore....MegG ====================== >

Norquay / Norqueny : I mused on this for quite awhile. I got a massive spyglass to look closely at it. I found other NORQUAY names to compare with since NORQUAY is the name we all know of and I'd never yet heard of NORQUENY until the Informant was much clearer with his lettering. But who am I to say there is no NORQUENY ??? That would make me equal to one of those horridly bad transcribers for Ancestry that I've complained about for years. HALERS ??? Who in the world sees HALERS when its clearly HALCRO ? Well its one of those dysfunctional transcribers. Surely I can't be equal to one of them.... If this is your family, then you are certainly more qualified than I am to declare it NORQUAY....but I swear to Odin the name is spelled NORQUENY. Yes, I realize Odin is the name of that huge white tiger in California that swims and loves to be photographed underwater.... And if I get a pencil and really get creative I can make an A out of the E and the first leg of the N....that leaves the Y with half of the N and a stem downward. And I did find a similar A further down the page...OK, so its possible.....still, I'm not as bad as those Ancestry transcribers.....Just agree with me for old time's sake and I'll not feel so bad about first typing NORQUAY and then convincing myself it wasn't so I changed it. Lisa - The Surname CROMARTY[CUMMING] was squeezed in between 2 lines...but it ends in TY. I have to blame the Registrar for this one....I really do see a -TY. Squint your eyes a lot until it looks like a -TY.....please. OK squint more.... MegG =========================== >

Hello Meg, following your offer to Dave Annal, have you come across any documents containing the signatures for Beatton, they were mainly in the Stromness area up to 1900.I have found them to be quite a small group, who intermarried with Brown and Robertson.

Yep, you were right at the first! To remove all doubt, in the Norquay signature for James... he just did not write a fully connected "-a", and left the top of it open, to confuse all of us trying to transcribe the words 133 years later. harumph. The little "-g" in Cumming looks like a figure 8. But I feel like you do -- I am still flummoxed over the "South Brooke" I seem to see in another birth register which looks to me like, "South Brooke", even though Bruce told me he sees South Brecks... and I know it is probably South Breck (with a fancy swoop at the end of the "-k"). [there is the mention of this topic in an earlier email of mine to this List] It is very hard when your eye is making your brain see something, and you can't shake it! Even with ten years of pouring over these registers for Burray and So Ronaldsay, I still have confusion and my brain balks. (List admin: sorry to stray off-topic, if we did!) - Lisa >

heehee! Hi Meg - I feel your pain :-) Don't want to have an extended conversation about the ins & outs of transcribing, but it really is "NorquAy" (sic). If you still have doubts, then explain why the similar "-Ay" in "RonaldshAy" should be "Ronaldsheny" ;-) This Registrar had the unfortunate habit of making "-a's " as both a normal-looking, small "-a" and also doing what looks like a capital "-A", choosing either whenever he felt like it. Truly. Once you get the feel for this Registrar's handwriting, it can be seen. And the Cumming I was referencing was not the "Ann Cromarty Russland M.S. Annal" in entry #68... but the mother's maiden surname I referenced in entry #69, where you had stated that it was Cromarty. That one is Cumming. Take a peek once more at your email to the list. No worries! I only wrote what I did so that someone wouldn't look for a Margaret Cromarty married to a Norquay, when she was a Cumming.

Charles - Haven't found any BEATTONs. Its not one of my own research names and unfortunately it isn't one likely to catch my eye. BROWNs and ROBINSONs aren't in my Tree [yet]. Lisa Conrad found the ANNAL signature on the birth record as her target area is South Ronaldshay. She noted it in a Post to the Orkney List and I realized it was on film at the local FHC only 8 minutes from my house and was able to ship it off to Dave since she knew precisely where I could find it, and the image was very readable. BEATTONs may have served as Informants on Registration papers but I'd have no way of finding out, nor would a hired Researcher unless they dove into the Stromness Registers and searched each entry one by one. If you happen to know of any Birth, Marriage or Death Registers for BEATTONs in the filmed years, I can look at particular entries if you send me a year, a name and I assume you're interested in Stromness. Only these years : 1855-1875 plus the 2 single years of 1881 and 1891. That's 23 years of films with signatures. Write back if you have enough detailled information to get me to an entry. Then I can send you an image. Its pretty much what I enjoy doing and I've told complete strangers that I dig up dead people.....well, they asked !
