Hi Peter and Andy,I have researched this family for a long time and I have done alot of looking up at the FHL. Also I heard about the Train going down in Fife and them losing the 1841 census. My Mother was born in Dysart so I have worked my way back to Joseph and Mary and their marriage and their children. Only two children survived , John ( my G'G' ) and Thomas, who died quite young. Henry was not found after the 1851 census. I found two deaths on the the pre Fife death index. A James who died in 1843 and a Euphemia who died 1844. Mary's parents were John and Euphemia ADIE and as their first child was born out of wed lock ,it could be John was named after Mary's father not Joseph's I haven't written down what I already know with this group as I just thought by joining the Perthshire Group I may make contact with another person researching the SINCLAIR name. Many thanks for both your input. All the best Allison. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Booth (2)" <peterbooth2@bigpond.com> To: <perthshire@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2010 3:39 PM Subject: Re: [PERTHSHIRE] Sinclair Name > Allison, > > I think Andy has explained why you can't find them in 1841 census > records. > > That leaves BDM data from Scotlands People as the most likely source. > > I'd bite the bullet and spend a couple of pounds getting the 1830 > marriage, the births of John, Thomas and Henry and looking for the death > of > Mary pre 1851. > > Peter > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > PERTHSHIRE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
