Hi Meg Thank you for your generous offer to help fellow list members. I have a James DUNCAN married Mary SINCLAIR on 9 Sept. 1846 at St. Cuthbert's. James and Mary must have had some siblings, so if you could please try and find any DUNCAN, or SINCLAIR marriages would be wonderful! Earlier connections are DUNCAN / FERGUSON, DUNCAN / KING and SINCLAIR / LEWIS. Any help is most welcome and again, thank you! Kind regards Elizabeth

Indeed the St Cuthbert's marriage info is great! I have one from 1812 that set me onto a whole line that is now nearly two centuries further back... It's a long shot, but if there are any Cunningham or Philip (Philp, Philips, Phillip etc) they might just be connected with my lot...

Hi Meg, You may not want to to do this - but if you have time could you see if there are any GRAYs in the index? I checked my database and couldn't find any in the timeframe of your film, but there may be some that I don't know about.

Meg, This is very kind of you. Could you please check for LANDLES (sometimes spelled LANDELS etc) and for MARGARET HUTTON. Many thanks! Best wishes, Ann

Meg, are there any ROLLANDs or DALGLEISHs (sometimes spelled DALGLIESH)? Thanks.

Jean, will check any similar spelling and report back. Have decided to print out the Index pages and have them here by the computer.

Have just found out there are MORE years in the film than I had recorded. All St. Cuthbert's MARRIAGES from 1842 through 1849 are in this film. And there is an INDEX !

Meg, Please may I have details of Robert CUTHBERTSON's marriage on 18th Dec. 1846? I don't need the full thing; just his details with any clue to his origins will do fine. Thanks. Best wishes, Sheena

There are two marriages on www.familysearch.org "International Genealogical Index" - British Isles David MAIR m Helen BLACKHALL 06 Nov 1840. Strathmiglo, Fife. Scotland David MAIR m Helen BLACKHALL 07 Nov 1840. Auchtermuchty, Fife. Scotland There is no indication that these two marriages were not the same couple...They may have declared their vows in each others parish???...I don't know..

You can view the images at ScotlandsPeople - http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk It wouldn't have been vows that were said in each other's parish but likely banns being read. If you check the images at SP it will most likely give some indication as to whether that was true (ie the entries will identify if David or Helen were from another parish).

I just looked up a St. Cuthberts Marriage listing for 1849. When I saw the beautifully written entries and all the data they contained, I was glad to have a marriage to find there ! The LDS film for Marriages in St. Cuthberts from 1845-1849 will be here for 5 more weeks. Will be glad to look up any OPRs someone wishes, they are beautiful to read and have the surnames in the margins to assist with finding the right entry. For a St Cuthbert's lookup, send NAME, and DATE. These should be obtainable in the IGI. This is for MARRIAGES ONLY, 1845-1849 inclusive. Its a full film, with literally thousands of entries. There were a few Appendix entries of interest, I'll post them later. This clerk loved to WRITE ! Are these accessible somewhere online in their entirety ? I should have asked that question before offering to look up names in the films.... Here is the entry I sought, so you can see what is regularly included in them. [disclaimer - your entry may not have all this data but I hope it does and those I spot-checked did]. Meg Greenwood / Oklahoma USA RITCHIE and CARSE : 16 July, 1849. David Ritchie, Flesher, Residing in #5 Leith Street, Terrace; and Christina Robertson Carse, residing at Orchardfield House, Leith Walk, both in this parish, daughter of David Carse, Coach Proprietor there, have been 3 several Times duly and regularly proclaimed in the parish Church of St. Cuthbert's in order to Marriage and no objections offered, Married on the 19th day of July, current, by the Reverend Francis Muir, Minister of the United Presbyterian Congregation, Junction Road, Leith. ========================

Hello listers I recently acquired a Bible and Church Hymnary (in a table top sale I believe) which has a bookplate inside the front cover detailing the following: June 23 1900 Scotch Girls' Friendly Society Presented to Alice A FAIRBAIRN In recognition of 5 years faithful service in the employment of the Edinburgh Branch of SGFS Signed by Annie Shire(?) - Associate A Hay - Branch President M Aberdeen - President Additionally, on the front and back leaves, and throughout in the margins, are many detailed personal notes obviously written by dear Alice. This could be of considerable interest to a researcher with a family connection. I would be delighted to return it on to its proper home foc. Please let me know off line. John Barbrook - Suffolk

Hello Carol, Jenny and List, I saw the PHILIP name and thought I would contribute some information from my husband's family tree in case they interest anyone - they married into his GREIG line: Alexander PHILIP, b. 25 May 1856 Kennoway, Fife, married Elisabeth Melrose GREIG (b.1861 Edinburgh) in 1882 at Newington, Edinburgh. They had issue: David D. Philip, b. 1883, Newington George Greig Philip b. 1885, St.Giles Janet H. Philip b. 1886, St.Giles Catherine J. Philip, b. C1891, St.Andrew After Elisabeth's death in 1898 Alexander married Isabella McIver (b.C1866, Fife) at St.Giles, in 1899, I don't know if they had children. Best wishes, Diana Robinson Ont. Canada I don't have the MIs but I'm interested that you're looking for the name PHILIP as it must be the first time I've seen it on this board.

Hi Carol and others, A little info - it's been a good while since I posted anything about my Philips... I'll send this to the list in case there are other Philip descendants there! James Philip or Philp, a carpenter in Leith, and Mary Bell, daughter of Alexander Bell a wright of Queensferry, were married 1799, South Leith parish. They had nine children all born in Leith: James b. 1800 (married Elizabeth Broom or Sutherland, moved to Greenock) Janet 1902 Mary 1804 Robert 1806 Robert 1808 Christian 1810 John 1813 (see below) Mary 1817 Andrew 1820 several of the children are buried in South Leith cemetary. John Philip b. 1813 married Catharine Renton in 1832, South Leith. They had several children: Catharine b. 1832 Agnes 1836 Mary Bell 1838 (my g-grandmother, married to William Blain in 1860 in Greenock) Janet 1840 John c1842 James c1844 This family is in the 1841 census in Leith. However they moved to Greenock in the 1840s, as had John's eldest brother James and his family. Both James and John appear to have died at sea - following the family trade as ship carpenters. I don't have much information on the Philip families - aside from my direct line. Have looked for marriages of other siblings but found little. I have some information on Mary Bell, b. 1779 in Echline, who had several siblings. However the family of James Philp or Philip is hard to pin down. I've found a possible family but without proof that I do have the right James Philp. There may however be burials in Calton that would help, and there might, just, be an MI.. it's a long shot but worth trying. (Spellings of Philp, Philip, Phillips are fairly interchangable, and the older records seem to mostly use Philp.)
