Address could be 8 Old Physic Gardens , or 81 High Street, Chalmers Close , or even a possibility of 15 St Andrew Street. Would appreciate your help. Thank you Tonita Lawrie

My great grandfather was born in Leith about 1831. His name was David Thomson, son of James Thomson and Isabella Syme. David moved to Fife before 1867 and I have no record of his life in Leith. Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction. Thank you, Joan I. Owen (Thomson) 4102 Bear Creek Ct. Ft. Pierce, FL 34951-3301 email: Plhown@aol.com

Hello Judy, Many thanks for your continued interest and help. At the risk of being tedious here are the details of the 1881 census. Address 4 Dunlop St, Kilmarnock, Ayr. William Campbell Occ: Nailer Age 50 Born Cramond, Edinburgh, Scotland. Bridget Wife Nailer's Wife Age 41 " Co Lough, Ireland Margaret O Neil (Campbell) Step Dau, Millworker Age 15 Born Kilmarnock, Ayr, " " Mary Campbell Dau Scholar Age 10 " " " " " " Helen Campbell Dau Scholar Age 6 " Obviously Bridget was a widow. I don't have any death or marriage certs. for William, and neither do I know how to go about getting them. My skills as a genealogist are not remarkable. It is interesting to note that William's youngest daughter is named Helen, perhaps after Helen Cleophane. My grandmother must have placed great store on the name Campbell, as she gave all her 3 children the second name of Campbell. My grandfather Henry was killed in 1900 in a mining accident. At my grandmother's marriage 1895 to Henry Morrison, (my grandfather) William gave his trade as a blacksmith Steve

Hello Stephen I dont have the 1881 to hand...what does it say for William? What about Williams marriage or death certs? I think the death cert gives both parents and the marriage certainly should, assuming the event was 1855 or later (and OPR would give father of course) the Edinburgh christening might be Daniel and Helen's second William, having lost the first....

Judy, Many thanks for your kind assistance. I must say William Campbell is proving very elusive. My research began with the 1881 census for Kilmarnock, where William gave his birthplace as Cramond, 1831. The parish register for Cramond gave brief details of a marriage on the 4th December 1830, between Daniel Campbell and Helen Clephane. Unfortunately, I could find no sign of William's birth being registered after that date. Of course there could be many reasons for this omission, including the possibility that they left Cramond soon after William's birth. I also had a look at the 1841 census for Cramond and found that there were no Campbells listed at all by that time. I then discovered that a Daniel Campbell and Helen Cleophane had their son, William Campbell, christened at Tolbooth Church, Edinburgh, in 1836. Assuming that the date William gave for his birth is correct, he would have been 5yrs old in 1836 and 20 yrs old in 1851. Helen the widow looks a possibility, aged 50 with 4 children. William could have left home by then, but I must confess I am running out of ideas. Steve

Hello Steve By luck I was in the area of the library today and had a peek in the 1851 census index. Daniel seems to be a fairly common name for CAMPBELLs, but I couldnt find a match for the family. I found a - Daniel and Helen aged 26 and 31 (too young) And I found a - Helen, a widow (laundress) aged 50 with children Ann, John, Edward and James - no William and a Daniel 36 with a wife called Elizabeth. - still too young I think But what I did find in the Canongate Volume was a nailer called William Campbell 27 with wife Rachael 25, son John, plus the inlaws, mother Helen Lunn and her daughter Euphemia. I didnt have the earlier email with Williams age, which should be only 20. So a) did William have a son called John b) how did you identify William's birth in Cramond? I am not at all sure that the one in Cramond and the one christened at the Tolbooth Church are the same little guy. Cheers Judy BTW I think the Highland Tolbooth is at the top of the Lawnmarket and a different building to the other Tolbooth Church ---------- >From: "stephenmorrison" <stephenmorrison@beeb.net> >To: SCT-EDINBURGH-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: [EDB] Help >Date: Thu, Jul 12, 2001, 8:25 am > > I wonder if SKS with access to the index of the1851 census, Old Town volume > Edinburgh, would look up Daniel and Helen Campbell, whom I believe were > residing in the area in 1836.

I wonder if SKS with access to the index of the1851 census, Old Town volume Edinburgh, would look up Daniel and Helen Campbell, whom I believe were residing in the area in 1836. I don't know Daniel's occupation, but his son, William, whom I believe to be my ggrandfather, was a nailer. Steve

I recently borrowed an old photograph of my gr gr grandfather (Michael Connaboy) sitting in front of Old Pentland House with a man standing next to him. On the back of the photo it says, in part: "This gentle-man standing next to father is Mr. J.D. Crawford, M.A. he teaches pupils for Edinburgh University and he is a very nice old gentleman and he is very fond of Father." My intention is to scan this photo for my genealogy. But if there is someone with connections to Mr. Crawford that would like me to email a scan of the photo to them, please reply to me directly.

I am seeking the family of John George Turnbull of 460 Sqdn who married Robina Moyes in May 1944. The last know address I have for Robina is 121 Lothian Street, Edinburgh- and that was on 31 May 1944.I do not know if the couple had any children or if John had any siblings. many thanks Mary Anne

I am researching the families of James Dunbar and Grizel Ewart who were married in South Leith 1805, Arthur Dunbar and Ann Skinner who were married St Cuthberts 1839, Would be interested to hear from anyone connected to these people. Ian Dunbar Newcastle, New South Wales Australia

Looking for information on Kathleen Ferguson. Born about 1877 in Edinborough, Scotland. I believe she came to Canada when she was about 14 years old. Possible came with a women named Mrs. McCauley. Don't know if this women could have been her stepmother. Don't know what happened to her father or siblings. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Emily(:

Does anyone know where I can find some information about my McLAUGHLIN ancestors? I have a John McLAUGHLIN, born about 1810 in Edinburgh. His parents were also born there. He was a sailor in "Queen Victoria's Navy" and eventually landed in Canada, where he married a Canadian girl, had children, moved to New York State, and from there to Will County Illinois, where he died "after 1900" Mildred in Lake Geneva, WI

Is there anyone on the list who might direct me in learning the origin of the name FOGO / FOGGO. I have two versions which need verifying or rejecting, as the case may be! 1.That the name comes from a village/town /parish called FOGO in Northumberland, its meaning being muddy hollow or mired hole – referring to the low lying damp area of the place. I don’t know whether in fact any FOGO / FOGGO families live there. 2.That the name was originally French and spelt FOGEAU, the family coming from France to the UK pre Reformation. They changed their name to an anglicised form of FOGO. Later when it was more expedient to appear protestant, they changed the spelling to FOGGO. The theory is that thereafter, those who were FOGO were Catholic and those who were FOGGO were protestant. Sounds nice and romantic- and this version gets more so, but I’ll spare you all that. There is an island which is part of the Cape Verde islands off the northwest coast of Africa called FOGO and another island off Newfoundland Canada also called FOGO. I had no reply from a letter I sent to Cape Verde and the Canadian contact said there was nothing on the island except a Camp Holiday hut and they didn’t know why the place was called FOGO. So I have tried. Guidance please, Patricia Taylor.

I am researching a family of FOGGO. The particular branch I am interested in appears to have its origins in Roxburghshire - Bowden, Smailholm and Kelso have been quoted on the I.G.I. and with ref. to 1881 and 1891 census for Kelso. My interest centres on the following four women :- 1.Ann FOGGO b. Bowden 1813, parents William FOGGO and Jean Allan / Allen. The 1881 census for Auchtergaven in Fife has Ann (the same one!) living with a younger sister Margaret b. Dunkeld. There is also record of a brother David also born Dunkeld, while the older siblings of this family were born in Roxburghshire. 2. Elizabeth FOGGO b. Smailholm about 1846-48 and who was born out of wedlock to an Ann FOGGO mentioned on her 1883 marriage cert. as deceased, but possibly alive and well in Auchtergaven. Elizabeth is on the 1881 and 1891 census for Kelso and husband (of 1883)James WALKER as well as two illegitimate daughters Mary and Ann. 3.Mary FOGGO / Mary RAE FOGGO/ Mary RAE STUART FOGGO according to varying documentation. b. 1872 at Kelso, m.1897 at Kelso, d. 1964 at Berwick-upon-Tweed. She was Elizabeth FOGGO’s illegitimate daughter. 4. Mary FOGGO b. about 1874 childless widow of John FOGGO (he and brother Robert FOGGO were carriers in Kelso / Berwick ) living in Newcastle-on Tyne in the 1930s. FOGGO was this Mary’s maiden and married name. She was the first cousin of Mary FOGGO 3. Any information regarding these FOGGOs or any other FOGGO families in the area of Roxburgh, Berwick or Fife would be most gratefully received by, Patricia Taylor.

Hello List, I have a problem in that my ggggrandmother was married three times. She was born Helen Bowie in 1819 and married Finlay McIntyre at St Cuthbert's Edinburgh on 16 February 1844. Finlay died on 18 March 1859 in Edinburgh. Helen then married someone Banks between that date and her next marriage to William Reynolds on the 26 March 1865 in London. Does any one have any ideas as to where I can look for this second marriage. Helen and Finlay had a son Joseph Mcintyre and he was born 7 December 1844 in Edinburgh. I can't find out whether ? Banks was from Edinburgh or London, and when and where did he marry Helen, and when did he die. I have Helen's two marriage cert, the first and the last, and when she married William Reynolds, he was with the Scots Guards, the marriage cert said she was Helen Banks a widow and he was a soldier.
