Hi Liz, 1st of all the book is made up from the 1851 census of Prestonkirk and then Diane and co have researched BDM's of lots of the community 6/19 refers to the enumeration district and page no (I think!!) Usually the status of the woman of a head is widow, so it is interesting that this one says unmarried. The only other little snippet that I didn't put in is that for the column other details she has put f*2/2 David Hardie. The * means that this is a likely person 2/2 refers to another family earlier in the book These are those details David HARDIE h 1851 married farmer 301 acres b Salen, Kinglassie Fife 1798 father John mother Isabel COUSIN d P/K 1856 buried P/K Cemetery Married Gladsmuir 1833 Christian Black b Kinglassie 1810 father John BLACK mother Catherine INGLIS Children Catherine 1834 Isabella 1838 Christiana 1843 Joseph 1846 Ann 1848 There was one little snippet in the Conclusions "Contrary to what is thought sometimes to be Victorian attitudes, unmarried Prestonkirk mothers and their children were clearly not abandoned or cast out. Children lived in the parish with their natural families, usually their mother." (McNicoll, p 4) You would have to lookup in the parish registers or the like to find out the "facts" (ha ha), it would also be wise to check the 1851 census for yourself to confirm the accuracy of these details, I have found them to be OK so far, but one never knows... There are a few other JAFFREYs but I will have to look those up a little later as my little people are calling, but I will not forget.... ----- Original Message ----- From: Liz Hardie <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 2:03 PM Subject: RE: [SCT-EAST-LOTHIAN] Re Euphemia Jaffrey > Carol, > > Thank you for that, I am wondering if you may be able to help with one > other piece of information.
