This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Stanhouse, Stanners, Snaddon, Cook, Yancy Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XeC.2ACI/206.265.652.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Mary, I have information that Walter (Waddie) Stanhouse was born July 7, 1856 in West Lothian, Scotland (most likely the village of Bo'ness or perhaps Carriden). He married Rebecca Yancy August 28, 1876 in Duquoin, Illinois. Rebecca was born June 30, 1857 in Perry County, Illinois. Walter died July 12, 1909 in Duquoin. My mother has a newspaper article that appeared in the DuQuoin Evening Call (newspaper) that gives the most fascinating history of Walter. I have been trying to get my hands on the copy, and alas I will have to wait till my next visit home. From memory: Walter talks about how he went to work in the coal mines in Bo'ness at the age of 8 or 9, of how he immigrated to America and what he had done in and around DuQuoin. Walter was a brother to my mother's great grandfather. But, DuQuoin is small and that is where my mother grew up and she knew all of the Stanhouse families. The Stanners did not actually "change" their name to Stanhouse upon arrival -- rather Stanhouse is the English variation of Stanners (is that Gaelic?), so it was a natural adaptation of the name. I am still trying to find a definitive source who can help me piece the families correctly. I have a lot of names and dates and such and I have drawn my own conclusions about who belonged to who, but that's not a great way to approach geneology. So if there is anyone who can help I would appreciate it.

Hi Marylee Saw your message and am listing a few Walter's that I have on amy data base you may be able to link up somewhere Walter STANHOUSE/STANNERS C 17 Jul 1856 in Carriden died 1909 in DuQuinn Ill.USA - coalminer m 1876 to Rebecca Yancy.

Sue: My Herkes line so far is: 1. Andrew Herkes, born about 1750, married Helen Ure in 1779 in Edinburgh. He was a brewer. 2. Andrew, one of 5 children, born 1783 in Haddington. He was a slater.Married Jean Young in 1815. 3. David, born 1827 in Haddington, married Janet Hastie in 1851. Janet was born in 1831 in Edinburgh, daughter of Walter Hastie, a shoemaker. Your Herkes family must be cousins to my lot!! Eileen Herkes, NY > Jane HERKES, b. abt. 1855 is Stenton, Haddington

Sue, Glad you decided to join the list. :) I, and at least one other researcher on the SCT-EAST-LOTHIAN, have HERKES (later spelled HARKES in my family) in Gladsmuir around that time. Perhaps the following was a brother, uncle or cousin to your Robert or James: Alexander HERKES, born ca. 1749 at Gladsmuir, married Margaret BROWN (BROUN) 3 March 1774 Children included: Helen, Peter, Ann Son, Peter, b. 29 March 1776 at Gladsmuir, married Hellen BURNS, 20 June 1793 at Bolton. Children included: Jean, George (Research conducted primarily by Doreen Baxter) I'm afraid I don't find any HASTIE, or ORPHET in my database. (I do have a PORTER but it was a 17th century English family that settled in Salem, Massachusetts.)

Hi all, After some very fruitful searching on the Scottish NHS site, I joined this list to see if I can go a little further. I will try and relate what I know so far in hopes that it triggers something with one of you in the list. Forgive me if I get a little too detailed or confused! =) The details of my family thus far are: Jane HERKES, b. abt. 1855 is Stenton, Haddington married someone by the name of PORTER, and had three children with him. The three children were James (b. 1878), Janet Margaret (b. 1880) and Mary (b. 1879 d. 1880). From what I can gather, Mr. PORTER (I don't know his first name) died along with his daughter, Mary in 1880-ish. I'm wondering if there was an influenza or something around this time? Jane remarried in 1881 to a widower named Andrew Wilson THOMSON. At this point, she left her two remaining children with PORTER relatives in Portobello and left to England, where she and Andrew had 4 children of their own, of which one became my grandmother. Going back before this though, Jane HERKES was born to James HERKES (b. 23 April 1809 in Gladsmuir, East Lothian) and Janet HASTIE (b. abt. 1813). They also had three boys, Robert (b. 20 June 1848 in Stenton), Joseph Hastie (b. 4 Feb 1850) and James (b. 3 June 1851). James Sr. was born to Robert HERKUS (b. 23 April 1775 in Gladsmuir) and Isabel ORPHET. The name ORPHET seems to be a dead end as I can find no further links, other than it possibly being the name of a town in Northern England. Robert HERCUS was born to Robert HERCUS Sr. and Jean BRYMNER. Hopefully, this will make sense to someone. Have a great day! Sue in Vancouver, BC

Dear List Just a quick note to post my research interests in East Lothian. My great-great grandparents: James BRODIE, born about 1852 Nungate, Haddington, East Lothian, son of Alexander BRODIE & Matha HASTIE, died before 1925 married 4 Apr 1873, Dowlaw, Coldingham, Berwick Mary Ann MCLEAN born about 1851 Portree, Inverness, daughter of Alexander MCLEAN & Flora FINLAYSON, died 11 Dec 1925 Dalry & Gorgie, Midlothian James & Mary Ann's children were: Flora Finlayson BRODIE, born 1875, Haddington, Haddington Alexander BRODIE, born 21 Sep 1877, Camastianavaig, Portree, Inverness Alexander McLean BRODIE, born 1879, Pencaitland, Haddington Martha Hastie BRODIE, born 28 Oct 1880, East Salton, Salton, Haddington (my great grandmother) James Hall BRODIE, born 1882, Northrigg, Morham, Haddington Annie McIntosh BRODIE, born 1884, Redcoal, Gladsmuir, Haddington. James & Mary Ann and family were living at East Salton at the time of the 1881 census. In the 1891 census they were living at 6 Kings Stables Road, Edinburgh. In the 1901 census they were at 153 West Port, Edinburgh and in 1925, 156 Dundee Street, Edinburgh. James' occupations in Haddington were ploughman and farm servant. He was a carter, general labourer and gardener in Edinburgh. Regards Alastair

Reposting my interests in East Lothian. Looking for connections to DOUGHTIE/DOUGHTY and CHALMERS from Prestonpans East Lothian, later Edinburgh. Mary Clark.

Hello, Just in case there are new researchers about, I thought I would post my interests for East Lothian... David AMOS, son of Robert Amos (from Spott) and Margaret THOMSON Amos (from Copath, Berwick), born in Ormiston in 1884. David married Jessie BERTRAM in early 1900s and their children were Alice, Margaret, Robert and David. He married Ada Taylor in 1919 in Lancashire and their child was William. Other children of Robert and Margaret Amos were Margaret who married John MCINTOSH; George married Margaret MENZIES; Hendry who married Christianne MCKAY and then Annie (Hendry and Annie had the hardware store in Port Seton for many years), Eliza married an ADDISON; Robert, married Emily GREEN; and John married Meg ?. David and Jock (John) moved to Lanarkshire and worked the mines over there before emigrating to Canada. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone out there? Bev Allen Langley, BC Canada

Derek, I have a Beatrix Nisbet born about 1695 in Garvald, but this is my first Nisbet, so info is a bit thin. The only info I have at present is in the original message. The weir connection stems from Roxburgh. I have an Eleanor Weir b 28.7.1855 in Jedburgh, married to David Jeffrey b abt 1851 Swinton Bew, on 29.5.1882. Eleanor's parents were William Weir and Margaret Ann Dobson. According to the 1881, they were both born in England, but have not been able to trace them as yet. The Cockburn name comes from Elspeth Cockburn b 27.9.1761 Kelso Roxburgh, she married a Robert Jaffrey about 1785, not found. Elspeths parents were David Cockburn and Jane Davidson, but no details on these either. I realise these are probably not from your lot, but you never know, someone might want to own them.

I have a Alison Nisbet marrying a James Weir from around 1820's Haddington or Garvald, Isabella Nisbet marrying a James Yule in Hutton, berwickshire 1813. David Cockburn marrying a Isobel Wood around 1810's Coldingham and Helen Cockburn marrying James Yule in Coldingham, Berwickshire around 1840's. Sorry these dates aren't accurate as My notes are elsewhere. do these people appear in your lineage. If your Weir's are from East Lothian what is there lineage, it could help to identify my next step, even though they are not related to my lot. >From: "Roger White" <[email protected]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [SCT-EAST-LOTHIAN] Nisbet + Bathgate >Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2002 22:47:03 -0000 > >Jill, > >I don't know whether you can help with my Nisbet, from your line.
