One of their children was Alexander, my great grandfather. Alexander Nicholson married Cecilia Nicholson (a cousin) and one their children was John, my grandfather. This part of the family migrated to Australia between 1912 and 1922 or thereabout. Cecilia's father was James Nicholson and Mother was Cecilia Beveridge. Leven Fifeshire or Dunfermline was where they lived. Also Cecilia Beveridge Nicholson had a son born in 1869 whose name was Thomas Campbell. Another son Henry Nicholson an older brother to Cecilia migrated to Australia and married Margaret Ross Darling (born in Edinburgh Scotland). Perhaps we could share our information.

I am trying to research Alexander BLAIR born 13 Jul 1833 and christened 27 Jul 1833 in Alloa, Clackmannanshire. Mothers name is given as Margaret Cornwall TURNBULL and fathers name is given as Duncan BLAIR. I am confused because I have found a transcript of marriage between Margaret TURNBULL and Alexander LIVINGSTONE 28 Mar 1819 in Alloa. To complicate further, I have also found possible other children to Margaret Turnbull within this era and regions to a father with variations of the name Alexander Livingstone Duncan and Blair: John Blair b. 1821 Alloa Margaret Blair b. 1823 Duncan Blair b. 28 Apr 1825 Alloa to Alexander Livingstone Blair and Margaret Turnbull Angess Blair b. 1826 Alloa to Alexander Livingtone and Margaret Turnbull Jennet Blair b. 1829 Alloa? Parents were identified as Duncan Blair and Margaret Turnbull on her death Alexander Blair b. 1833 Alloa to Duncan Blair and Margaret Cornwall Turnbull. Guessing anyone reading this will be just as confused but hoping a kind Clackmannan Scot might provide me with some insight as to whether Alexander Livingstone and Duncan Blair have a connection? I could ramble on further lol, believe most of the family migrated to Australia. I don't feel too confident as to Alexander Blair's parentage give the shifts between the names Duncan Blair and Alexander Livingstone Blair. Hope someone here can provide direction or information, Kind regards, Jane To further complicate, I have found the birth of Duncan BLAIR 0n 29 Apr 1825 to Alexander Livingstone Blair and Margaret Turnbull.

Haven't been working on this lately so have some catching up but couple of questions. I think I'm missing one of Thomas sons as I have Joseph as 6th. Showing John, William, Peter, David, Thomas and Joseph (he being 9th child. Also I only has John married once with very little info only their marriage date. Coincidentally I have my David and Janet's 1st son Thomas married to a Marion Allen. Funny how the names keep coming up! Well I live in Pennsylvania in the US. We've been to Scotland a few times most recently in 2007 when we based our trip out of Dumfermline and visited the area around Clackmannon and tillicoultry. Visited many a cemetary with no results. My hostess at our B&B helped us find the location of the plot in the Dumfermline Cemetary for I think Janet but have to go through my notes for sure, anyway there was no marker and couldn't really find anything. My Grandfather David married Agnes Dickson from Kilbirnie and they emigra! ted to Canada where my mother Nancy and her twin Enet were born and then to Connecticut in the US where they settled around my grandmothers sister and later her brother. I believe they first went to the Cleveland Ohio aread where David's parents were settled and some of his siblings but couldn't find work to went to Connecticut. Here's my email shivworld@comcast.net if you want to talk off chat and I can send you a picture of my grandfather although you may have seen in on Martins tribal page. We're planning a trip back to Scotland this fall it's so beautiful there! Well now I'm going to get my stuff out again. Hope to hear from you again Let me know if there's anything I may have which you could use. Bye Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

What records might be available in this time period to identify what my ancestor, William Innes (b. ~ 1784) and wife Helen Hay, might have been doing and/or where they might have lived? They married 1802 in Forfar (where she was born (1780), and had first son James Innes 1803 in Musslebourgh (when he was in the infantry); 2nd son William James Innes in 1807 in Sterling. Where might I find information that might provide information (above), and/or could answer these questions: * Are there maps available for this time period? * What was the economy based upon? * What was the countryside like/living conditions like in this time period? * What brought people to this area of Scotland?/migration patterns * Military actions/activities in this time period? I suspect, but do not know, that the family was from Moray, and that he may have been born in Aikenway near Rothes, son of a James Innes, mother surname unknown. Family stories take the family back to the historic Innes Clan of Innes House, outside Elgin. I know the family was in Dundee by 1822, and then he was a nailer/nail maker and change keeper (ran an inn?). One son later was a saw maker. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

I wonder if you have read his nephew James Walker's memoirs? They are Accession no. 53 at the Institution of Civil Engineers, and contain some very interesting and detailed information on members of the Walker family, including Ralph and his wife and children. According to this, Ralph married a Miss Wilson in Ireland; I combined this information with the name Jane given on Charles's baptism record, and haven't come across the name Clifford anywhere. It would be great to hear more about what you know, and I'll help to fill in any gaps of yours if my research so far covers them! My email address is hannahsalisbury1 (at) gmail.com.

I have quite alot on the family with no gaps in the male line from Ralphs grand father to the present. I have little on the females before the 1830s and only know that ralphs wife was Jane (Clifford???????). I am indebted to Isisuk for a lot of information especially on ralphs life in jamaica.
