    3. Looking for anyone researching or knowing of these Fea's: Found a marriage record for a John Fea and Betty Brown abt 1801 Falkirk - said "irregly married" (whatever that means?) - MAY be the marriage rec. of John Fea & Elizabeth Brown below. John Fea (believed to have been born in Orkney) m. Elizabeth Brown John Charles Timmons Fea b.21 Nov. 1806 Falkirk, SCT James Trail Fea b.9 Nov 1808 Falkirk, SCT Thomas Brown Fea b.18 June 1815 Falkirk, SCT (m. Anne Liddle 24 Jul. 1837 Falkirk, immigrated to the U.S. abt 1853) *may be other children not yet found Found James, Thomas (w/wife Ann and children John age 2 and Catherine age 1 on 1841 Census Returns for Stirling, Falkirk (parish 479). James & Thomas occupations listed as "Coach" ? Believe this next family may be a 2nd marriage of the above John Fea but not known for sure: John Fea (lock keeper Forth & Clyde Canal Co. - born in Orkney) b.1767-91 d.14 Jan 1862 Falkirk (father listed as John Fea & mother as ? Sutherland on death cert). m. Catherine Thomson (married 21 Feb. 1821 Stirling, SCT). Margaret b. 1821 Stirling, SCT Alexander b.1826 " Catherine b.1828 " Helen b. 1830 " (married Alexander Winton 1848 Falkirk, SCT - Their son immigrated to the U.S. and was the founder of Winton Motor Carriage Co. Cleveland, OH) Simon b. 1832 " David b. 1832 * may be other children not yet found Found the above family on the 1841 Census returns for Stirling, Falkirk (parish 479) Looking for anything on the John Fea's above to sort out if they are one and the same or not. John the lock keeper's age on the 1841 census is given as 50 which if correct would be a birthdate of abt. 1891 yet his death record (listing same wife as census and informant, his son Simon) in 1862 lists his age as 95 which would mean a birthdate of 1767.
