I am still looking, and unable to find Charles Middleton, b. in Morayshire. On the 1841 Kent census he was shown as being 45, but that age was rounded down. So he must have been born in about the early 1790's. Thanks, Sharon Researching MIDDLETON, WHEATLEY --------------------------------- Post your free ad now! Yahoo! Canada Personals

This marker is the oldest read-able stone in the yard and apparently was moved there from another location in Ancaster in the 1800's. Bill, the Churchyard Co-Ordinator, after checking his records advises that only two other Ritchie's are there, both from the 1900's. He had no Janet Ritchie or Blasdell listing. I attach photos. I thought perhaps they might be of interest or possibly relatives to your Alexander. The inscription reads: SACRED to the memory of ALEXANDER RITCHIE and MARY LUCIA his wife who both departed this life at Ancaster on the 11th of APRIL, A.D. 1823 ********* As you can see Bill has been taking excellent care of the yard since the early 1970's as a volunteer after he retired.

Govan was in Lanarkshire (the county) in old records. If Christina was born in Scotland between 1855 and 1903, then you should be able to find the registration of her birth in the statutory register, on-line at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk. That should confirm her parents names, and state the date and place of their marriage.

Hi fellow listers, posting family interests Laing (begins James and Margaret Howieson 1775), Newton and Cockpen Midlothian; Robertson, Newton Midlothian; Hook (Charles and Ann Smith) Lasswade, Edinburgh; Richard Howieson and Jean Brown 1672 English Parish Midlothian. Particularly interested in a Alexander Robertson and his family. His grandaughter Margaret b 1692 married a Alexander Laing in Newton. I think one of their children, possibly John b 1715 may have been father of James Laing b around 1740. Does anyone know of this family? thanks Margaret

I did ask him in some detail why he thought he was a Farrell, and he was able to satisfy me that he probably is a Farrell by direct male line descent so he is in. Ordinarily I wouldn't care, but if he wasn't a Farrell at all, his results would skew the project, and we have enough different lines as it is, just limiting to Farrell surnames.
