Hi, Discovered more names that I have no idea where they are. When Alexander married Rabina Bogie she was the dau of deceased.. Bogie gardener at Murchiston. So where is Murchiston? A possible birth for my Robert Aitken( who Married Agnes Gibson in 1789) was a Robert Aitken son of William Aitken smith burges in Lady Yesters parish and Rachel Cameron and wit James Thomson shoemaker in New Kirk parish. in Jan 1764. So where is Lady Yesters Parish? and New Kirk? Sorry about this. I think I'am on a roll :-) cheers Marilyn

Hi, another name Colinton or Hailes Sp have down for the birth of Alexander Gibson in 1738. Hope he is mine his parents were Thomas Gibson and wife Agnes Barton. Since Alexander Gibson and his wife Rabina Bogie 1st two children were Agnes then Thomas I am banking on this being his parents. This alexander was born Colinton or Hailes Midlothian. Is that close to Edinburgh? Many thanks for all your help sorting out the last two cheers Marilyn

Good afternoon all , May I just pick up on an excellent point made by Jacquie ? I have worked as a professional researcher on Scottish Maritime History for nearly twenty years and for eleven years have been a "Volunteer Helper" at SGS , Family History Centre and Library, Edinburgh. One of the most contentious things I come across is the number of people , working on their family history, who will not accept that they are almost inevitably going to find numerous spellings of their name as they know it today . Many , for some reason mostly from USA , simply refuse to accept that there are variations in name spellings We have members researching NAPIER with twenty three variations back to early 17thC , McFADZEAN with nineteen variations in the same time frame . Monday past we had a visitor researching PATERSON in Leith . In the 1851 census the birth place of the "head of the house " was given as "Berwick,Berwick" . No trace of him could be found in Berwickshire OPR's under any variation so we tried Berwick , Northumberland . No trace again so we tried PATTERSON - there he was as was his father , gfather et al. A new door was opened up by simply using variations. ( He wasn't too chuffed at having English forbears !!!!!!!! ) Same thing applies to given names - use variations !! Moral is never give up - remember "a name is a name is a name " Good luck with your searches Regards John John D.

I think this would be MERCHISTON - not too far from Colinton and on the west side of Edinburgh. I am not certain, but Merchiston was probably in St. Cuthbert's Parish, as many of my Sinclair ancestors lived close to there and their marriages and deaths seem to me in St. Cuthbert's. Hi, Discovered more names that I have no idea where they are. When Alexander married Rabina Bogie she was the dau of deceased.. Bogie gardener at Murchiston. So where is Murchiston?

Hi John, You were so right. Certainly has Rabina ... but one of the witnesses is James Bogie gardener Now according to LDS Alexander Gibson and Rabina Bogie were married at St Cuthberts on the 16 Nov 1765 but that won't come up for me on Scotlands People no Alexander Gibson got married in Edinburgh and none of the others, that I paid my 1 credit point for, is him. I even tried "Alex" but no go. Any suggestions out there would be appreciated. cheers Marilyn

Hi, Thought I would share with you info received from Scotlands People re. the 1881 census I queried the 1881 census that I had paid for as it did not correspond with what Jacquie had found for me. This is what they told me "Things will be improved when we put the actual images on hopefully next month so it will be the same format as the others." P.S. they did send me the new actual image of the 1881 census for my family as the one I received was totally wrong. cheers Marilyn from Western Australia Woodcarvings and Wildlife Sculptures http://www.watsonwoodcarver.com

Looking for a John McKenzie married to Sarah Cairns (Sarah was born in Coatbridge). They lived in St. Cuthberts around 1864. I am not sure they married in St. Cuthberts but taking a stab at it. Ray & Elizabeth

Marilyn, the LDS entry that was extracted from local records had it spelled Allexander - with a double "L". There is an entry at SP regarding the marriage of Allexander Gibson and Rabina Bogie dated 16 Nov 1765.

Hi Marilyn, The records that the LDS have indexed name Edinburgh Parish are indeed from the Parish of that name, which is one of several in the city, others include St. Cuthberts and Cannongate.

Not really. This is so complicated I don't understand entirely but Midlothian is basically now a region but was previously a county. It now begins some way out of the city but some Edinburgh addresses still say Midlothian as opposed to East or West Lothian or Lothian Region which I think covered all three, and was dissolved when the 1975 reforms were reversed and Edinburgh itself became a unitary authority. Older Edinburgh records may be found under the county of Midlothian or Edinburghshire = I think this depends on the date. That's quite different from any sort of parish record, even the mega parish of St Cuthberts! I did say it was complicated!

Hi Judy, Many thanks for that. Those maps are great. Now to find out where they were born . Agnes Gibson's father Alexander, was a smith at Borough (Burrow) Muirhead in 1789.

Hi, Please could somone tell me where these places are. Greenhill and Burrow Muirhead When Robert Aitken married he was a carter in Greenhill his wife Agnes Gibson was residing in Burrow Muirhead. They married at St Cuthberts Edinburgh in 1789. Many thanks cheers Marilyn from Western Australia

Good afternoon Marilyn, Had a quick look and Agnes ( m to Robert Aitken) was the daughter of ALEXANDER GIBSON and ROBINA/RABINA ( It looks like) BOGIE Born 6th March 1766 , St Cuthbert's . Suggest you stick with St Cuthbert's !! There were 10 ecclesiastical parishes , Tolbooth, High Church, Trinity College, Old Church, Tron, New North, St Johns, Lady Yesters, Old Greyfriars, New Greyfriars., within the old city of Edinburgh in the early part of the 19th century; these formed the 'civil' parish of Edinburgh. Births, deaths and marriages from all these parishes were collated and recorded in a single series of registers. This is what is often known as 'Edinburgh Parish' St Stephens, St Marys, St Georges, St Andrews.were added when the "New Town" was built. Trust you are all well Regards John John D. Stevenson Edinburgh SNIP > Good to hear from you > If I was looking for their births where would I look? St Cuthberts or what > other presbyterian churches.
