Hi I am searching for Elizabeth SMELLIE and George JACK who married in 1806 in St Cuthberts. George was from Ayrshire and Elizabeth's father was John, a brewer. They were living in Ireland by 1818. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Pam Dick

H Marilyn I looked at the "Births 1855-2006" in the Statutory Registers (you have to register in order to be able to do this). And you need to enter at least a surname. You could search for one surname between 1855 and 2006, but not advisable unless it is a very unusual name. You can search at no cost, but it costs 1 credit to look at one page of results and each successive page of results will cost you an additional credit. To look at the image of an entry, where available, would cost you 5 credits. You can do the same with marriages (between 1855 and 1932), and deaths (between 1855 and 2006). And you can go through the same process with the baptisms and marriages on the Old Parish Registers.

Hello Rhoda, Thank you for telling me. I have got their marriage but have not really took any notice of what Williams Parents names were. Yes I have put both Margarets down and Christina and James after Margaret Paxton's Parents. You never know I might find them in someone elses tree later.

Hi Pam Yes, and I think that the other likely candidates would be George Lawrie (William's mother's maiden name was Margaret Lawrie), Christina (after Margaret's mother), one of the Williams and one of the Margarets. William's father's name was Andrew.

Looking for information about my great great grandfather James Smith, born c.1775 "in the Edinburgh area." He married Patience Austin at London on 20 Nov 1808, and from 1809 until 1835 lived at Aberdeen, where he was for many years “Gardener to P. Milne Esq, Union Street" then about 1820-21 went into business for himself as a gardener, nurseryman and seedsman. He and his family left Aberdeen for Canada in 1835. I have tentatively identified James Smith's employer to have been Patrick Milne Esq. of Crimonmogate, a wealthy businessman and politician, who died on 16 May 1820, i.e. about the time that James Smith started his own business.  A short biography of James Smith, most likely contributed late in life by his son (my great grandfather) George, but with several factual errors, says that James was one of three brothers, and he was the only one of them to emigrate to Canada. James Smith named his first son William. He called the farm (and nursery) he started in Canada "Newington Farm" which supports the idea that he came from Edinburgh. On the assumption that James' father's name was William Smith, I was able to find a couple of possible baptisms from St Cuthberet's parish c.1775, one of them being son of a Gardener named William Smith. The baptism record reads Register of Baptisms in 1776 (at St. Cuthbert's) March 2nd Smith William Gardener at Causeway Side and Margaret Laing his spouse had a Son Born Saturday the 24th Ult. name James Witt John Smith Wright at Cassour Mills and Robert Cleghorn Inn Keeper Bristo Street The record of the marriage of William Smith and Margaret Laing reads as follows: O.P.R. Marriages Edinburgh Sab: 30 Dec. 1770 William Smith Gardener and Margaret Leing Daugh of the Deceasd. John Laing farmer in the parish of Ellon now both in Lady Yesters Kirk parish. William and Margaret had three sons; the others were Alexander (1773) and Thomas (1778). Does anyone recognize any of the above names? My transcription of the address of the witness John Smith "Cassour Mills" sounds wrong (and I could not find any reference to such a place). I found on an old map of Edinbugh that there was indeed a Nursery located on Causeway Side which was founded in 1770 by Peter Lawson, so many of the facts seem to fit, but there is still far too much conjecture for me to be able to say I am on the right track.

Hello Rhoda, Thank you very much for checking for me. Yes I did notice that I could not find Lettuce births when I have been on Scotlands People. I wonder why? Thank you anyway.

Hi Pam I don't have your family in my tree, but have just looked at the birth index on Scotlands People and found 14 children with the surname "Lettice" (not Lettuce) born in Midlothian between 1913 and 1925. All were in districts of Edinburgh. The images aren't available on Scotlands People for these years, and not all of these will be children of William and Margaret, but some sound very likely candidates. They are (in name order): Agnes Yorkson 1915 Christina 1920 George Lawrie 1919 Isabella H Dick 1916 James 1923 Janet Briggs 1919 Joan 1924 John 1916 John 1923 Margaret 1920 Margaret 1923 Nellie Paxton 1917 William 1913 William John B R 1913 Rhoda ----- Original Message ----- From: "pam.groves1" <pam.groves1@ntlworld.com> To: <sct-edinburgh@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, October 06, 2008 9:33 AM Subject: [SCT-EDINBURGH] HAS SOMEONE GOT WILLIAM LETTUCE & MARGARET PAXTONIN THEIR TREE > Hello List, > Has someone on the list got William LETTUCE and Margaret Ritchie Rodger > PAXTON In their tree Please? > > Margaret R R Paxton born on 28 July 1887 at Bell Close, Fisherrow, > Musselburgh, Midlothian, Scotland. > She was the daughter of James T C Paxton and Christina C R Rodger. > William Lettuce and Margaret R R Paxton were married on the 3 June 1913 at > St, John Street, Edinburgh. > > Someone checked her death year out and said she died in 1970 at Haymarket, > Edinburgh. > Do anyone know if William and Margaret Lettuce had any children please? > Do anyone have them in their Tree Please? > > Thank you in advance for any information I might receive. > > Kind Regards > Pamela J Groves nee PAXTON > > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > SCT-EDINBURGH-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message >

Hi Kathy, I am also researching Pickerings supposedly from Scotland but my Jane Pickering ended up marrying in Down, Ireland at Magheralin to Thomass Moffat who also supposedly is from Scotland. They were married in the early 1800's. So probably they were born about. 1785 or so.

Hi Meg Thank you for looking up the Duncan details for me, and yes, that is the same as I had. Also I now know how to navigate Hugh Wallis's site! I couldn't figure it out before and found it confusing. Guess my brain was foggy! Again thank you. Kind regards Elizabeth

Hi, Please could SKS find my JOHN AITKEN carter b. c 1795 and in Edinburgh at 9 Ponton St in the 1841 census. He was with his wife Margaret Aitken nee Arnot 50 They were both born St Cuthberts Edinburgh. Can't seem to find him in the 1851 or 1861 so maybe someone else may be able to help.

Meg - thank you so much for your help in the past and now wondering if you can help me again with any of the following on this OPR James SEATON mar Catherine NIMMO 11 Mar 1846 Andrew NIMMO mar Mary HUME 13 Nov 1842 Andrew WHYTE/WHITE mar Agnes PURVIS/PERVES John EUMAN mar Catherine SINCLAIR 19 Oct 1848 James MALCOLM mar Jessie/Janet McDIARMID 14 Jun 1844 Elizabeth BOSWELL mar Peter SIMM/SYME 31 Jul 1848 and last but not least any of my very odd PEEBLES clan Thank you so much Shyama Peebles

I'll second Meg that Hugh Wallis's site is really useful - I had it from Talking Scot a while back and it's been a great help. I should however have said: the marriage of John Sinclair Cunningham, 7 June 1845, is one of 'mine'.. there are several other Cunninghams that I don't know about as it would depend on the details. I do know that a good few of 'my' Cunninghams were associated with St Cuthberts and there are some buried there. All best, Jenny >Making sure all the requests sent to me are for SAINT CUTHBERTs parish >only. I have access to only St. Cuthbert's Marriages, 1842-1849.
