Good Day,
<br />
<br />
Yes, there is egg on my face.
<br />
<br />
And as I have said the details and my research of our family history and ancestry will be an always changing experience.
<br />
<br />
About 10 years ago I found, what I thought, some information regarding my <b><i>4-times Great-Grandparents George and Isabel Kendal</i></b>. Isabel Kendal would have be an ancestor in my mtDNA maternal line.
<br />
<br />
At the time, I recorded that GGGG-Grandmother Isabel's maiden name was Tasker. I also was able to recreate a well sourced ancestry following the Tasker family line in the Lancashire and Yorkshire areas of England.
<br />
<br />
Most recently, I have been comparing other information as presented on family trees in Ancestry. I noticed that in some cases some trees exhibited a George Kendal and his wife, <b><i>Isabel Atkinson</i></b>. The marriage, I found the Registration, is dated 13 December 1794 from Giggleswick, Yorkshire.
<br />
<br />
<div class="fullpost">
I cannot for the life of me understand why I included Isabel Tasker. I cannot find a registration for a Kendal Tasker marriage. I did find a 1777 baptism registration for one Isabel Tasker.
<br />
<br />
And just today I discovered a 1795 baptism registration for an Ann, daughter of George and Isabell Kendale, who was baptized at St. Mary's in Gisburn, Lancashire/Yorkshire. Their first 4 children were all baptized there. The next 3 children including my 3-times Great-Grandmother Elizabeth Kendal were baptized a short distance away at Downham, Lancashire.
<br />
<br />
Guess I will be correcting my "error". I'll keep my eyes open. I will not delete my Tasker research, but I will unlink the connection from my current family tree.
<br />
<br />
It is so, so critical to find and keep the critical and noteworthy documentation.
<br />
<br />
I have uploaded the correct information and deleted the incorrect to various online genealogy locations. On Ancestry the Family Tree file is called "Smith Robertson Family Tree Oct 1, 2019". If you would like an "invitee" to access the Tree please email me.
<br />
<br />
Your thoughts?
<br />
<br />
The search continues. And I just keep on going.<br />
<br />
Also, let me know if you would like an invitation to access to my <b><i>Smith Robertson Family Tree</i></b> on <i>Ancestry</i>. You can email me at <a href="mailto:jsmith58@gmail.com"><b><i>jsmith58@gmail.com</i></b></a>.<br />

<br />
<br />
I have found some documents referencing my <b><i>6-times Great-Grandmother Elizabeth (née Mitchel) Whittaker</i></b>. She and our <b><i>6-times Great-Grandfather John Whittaker</i></b> were married the 3rd of January 1740 at the Parish Church of Whalley in Lancashire, England. I believe the church may have been St. Mary and All Saints.
<br />
<br />
Here is an image copy of the 1740 Marriage Registration –

My transcription –
<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>January the 3d Married John Whittaker</i><i>Of Pendleton & Elizabeth Mitchel of the<br /> </i><i>Castle parish of Clithroe.
</i></span></blockquote>
<br />
On the full page, the header reads “<i>The Year of our Lord God on thousand seven hundred and thirty nine</i>”. Halfway down the page the year 1740 registrations begins with 6-times Great-Grandparents John Whittaker and Elizabeth Mitchel.
<br />
<br />
This discovery of GGGGGG-Grandmother Elizabeth is critical in the recreation of my genealogy and tracing of my mtDNA.
<br />
<br />
We all, in most cases have 64 6-times Great-Grandmothers. All are important in the passing of Autosomal DNA. But, 6-times Great-Grandmother Elizabeth (née Mitchel) Whittaker is an extremely important 6-times Great-Grandmother.
<br />
<br />
GGGGGG-Grandmother Elizabeth is that grandmother from whom my mtDNA is passed, passed from her down to me. MTDNA is passed from a mother to her children, but it is only daughters who continue to pass that specific gene. Sons may receive it along with their Y-DNA, of which they receive it from their father. Our mtDNA Haplogroup is H1a1a1.<br />
<br />
Here is how the mtDNA was passed to me from –
<br />
<br />
<b><i>6-times Great Grandmother Elizabeth (née Mitchel) Whittaker</i></b>; bc. 1710, Lancashire, England, to
<br />
<br />
<b><i>5-times Great-Grandmother Mary (née Whittaker) Tasker</i></b>; b. 1753, Lancashire, England, to
<br />
<br />
<b><i>4-times Great-Grandmother Isabel (née Tasker) Kendal</i></b>; b. 1777, Lancashire, England, to
<br />
<br />
<b><i>3-times Great-Grandmother Elizabeth (née Kendal) Parker</i></b>; b. 1809, Lancashire, England, to
<br />
<br />
<b><i>2-times Great-Grandmother Elizabeth (née Parker) Crossley</i></b>; b. 1841, Lancashire, England, to<br />
<br />
<b><i>Great-Grandmother Mary-Alice (née Crossley) Goodey</i></b>; b. 1864, Lancashire, England, to
<br />
<br />
<b><i>Grandmother Madge (née Goodey) Robertson</i></b>; b. 1891, Rochdale and Lancaster, England, to
<br />
<br />
<b><i>Mother Josephine (née Robertson) Smith</i></b>; Saint Andrew, Jamaica, to
<br />
<br />
<b><i>Son Jim Smith; Saint Andrew, Jamaica</i></b>. And there it will stop. That line of mtDNA will not be continued. Only daughters can pass on the mtDNA gene.
<br />
<br />
6-times Great-Grandparents John and Elizabeth (née Mitchel) Whittaker had, who I have been able to account for, 9 children – 6 sons and 3 daughters. Our specific mtDNA gene was passed along, if they had any offspring, by the 3 daughters.
<br />
<br />
And now, I have a lead on the possible mother of 6-times Great-Grandmother Elizabeth’s mother. This would be my 7-times Great-Grandmother, and another name to add to my mtDNA line. Also, this would be the most distant ancestor that I will be able to claim as a recipient of her mtDNA.
<br />
<br />
Remember, there are only 128 7-times Great-Grandmothers.
<br />
<br />

Help! Please.

<br />
I have an issue trying to decipher documents and dates all, I believe, referencing my <b>GG-Grandmother Elizabeth (née Parker) Crossley</b>. Her parents were my <b>GGG-Grandparents John and Elizabeth (née Kendal) Parker</b>.
<br />
<br />
According to the Birth registration she was born in “<b><i>Twiston</i></b>” and registered in Clitheroe, Counties of Lancaster and York, England. The birth date given is “<b><i>10 February 1841</i></b>”. Her father, John Parker’s occupation is entered as “<b><i>Labourer</i></b>”. (Application Number COL388967).

<br />
From my review, it appears that the 2nd Elizabeth Parker Baptism, dated 7 March 1841 is NOT entered to the Bishop’s Transcripts. I think the note that I referred to above in point 2 may be the clue as to why.
<br />
<br />
As a note of reference, I can only find one Elizabeth Parker and her Baptism entry in the Bishop’s Transcripts for 1841.
<br />
<br />
The 1841 UK Census for Whalley, Clitheroe, Lancashire, England contains the Parker family including John and Elizabeth Parker and their daughter Elizabeth, aged 4 months. As the Census was administered on 6 June 1841, the approximation of her birth would be the end of January, beginning of February. John Parker’s Occupation is listed as “<b><i>Printer</i></b>”.

The 1851 Census for Twiston, Clitheroe, Lancaster, does indicate that John Parker is/was a “<b><i>Farm Labourer</i></b>”. Elizabeth, my GG-Grandmother’s age is entered as “<b><i>11</i></b>”.

<br />
<br />
I'm attaching a number of documents that I have found from the East Lothian, Scotland area. All-things-being-equal I can create a far-fetched logical argument that could lead us, maybe to my 7-times Great-Grandfather Robertson.
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Here are my current facts.
<br />
<br />
1. Haddington, Innerwick, and Oldhamstock are relatively close together in East Lothian. There is about 6 hour walk from Haddington to Oldhamstock, passing Innerwick along the way.
<br />
<br />
2. 4-times Great-Grandparents John and Christian Dudgeon were married 1778 in Butterdean Mains, Oldhamstock. Check out the 2 witnesses - John Dudgeon and Thomas Dudgeon.

4. 4-times Great-Grandmother Christian (née Dudgeon) Robertson was baptised 22 May 1774 in Roxburghshire. Her parents are 5-times Great-Grandparents Thomas and Janet (née Hope) Dudgeon. I do have an issue with the baptism year of 1774.<br />

5. 4-Times-Great-Grandparents John and Christian (née Dudgeon) Robertson had 6 sons. I have been able to find documentation for all 6 sons. They were
<br />
<br />
- John (Oldhamstocks, bc. 1779);<br />
- Thomas, my 3-times Great-Grandfather (Oldhamstocks, bc. 1780);<br />
- Alexander (Oldhamstocks, bc. 1781);<br />
- James (Oldhamstocks, bc. 1783);<br />
- William (Oldhamstocks, bc. 1786); and<br />
- Robert (Glasgow, bc. 1792);<br />
<br />
<div class="fullpost">
Generally accepted Scottish naming convention is as follows, as provided by Family Search -
<br />
<br />
The Scottish, for the most part, had a naming pattern which can be seen in many families. The pattern generally went as follows:
<br />
<br />
The first son was named after the father’s father.<br />
The second son after the mother’s father.<br />
The third son after the father.<br />
The first daughter after the mother’s mother.<br />
The second daughter after the father’s mother.<br />
The third daughter after the mother.<br />
<br />
According to "The Scottish Onomastic Child-naming Pattern," by John Barrett Robb, another naming system called the "ancestral pattern," generally went as follows:
<br />
<br />
The first son was named for his father's father.<br />
The second son was named for his mother's father.<br />
The third son was named for his father's father's father.<br />
The fourth son was named for his mother's mother's father.<br />
The fifth son was named for his father's mother's father.<br />
The sixth son was named for his mother's father's father.<br />
The seventh through tenth sons were named for their father's four great-grandfathers.<br />
The eleventh through fourteenth sons were named for their mother's four great-grandfathers.<br />
The first daughter was named for her mother's mother.<br />
The second daughter was named for her father's mother.<br />
The third daughter was named for her mother's father's mother.<br />
The fourth daughter was named for her father's father's mother.<br />
The fifth daughter was named for her mother's mother's mother.<br />
The sixth daughter was named for her father's mother's mother.<br />
The seventh through tenth daughters were named for their mother's four great-grandmothers.<br />
The eleventh through fourteenth daughters were named for their father's four great-grandmothers.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have also included a working copy of our Robertson Descendant Chart. Please check out my thought-notes on the chart diagram.
<br />
<br />
I am purely basing the possibility that Alexander Robertson may be our 7-times Great-Grandfather on number of coincidental possibilities.
<br />
<br />
1. The surname Robertson.
<br />
<br />
2. The location of the 1711 Marriage Registration for John Robertson and Jean Shoarswood and the 1725 Baptism for John Robertson are both of Haddington.
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
3. Haddington, Innerwick, and Oldhamstock are relatively close considering distance.
<br />
<br />
4. The 1758 Marriage Registration for John Robertson and Ann Lyle includes the listing of John Robertson as John Robertson's "Cautioner" and "Father"
<br />
<br />
5. The 1711 Marriage Registration for John Robertson and Jean Shoarswood includes the listing of Alexander Robertson as "Cautioner" for John Robertson.
<br />
<br />
6. Naming convention.
<br />
<br />
7. 3-times Great-Grandparents John Robertson and Christian Dudgeon named
<br />
<br />
a. Their eldest son, 3-times Great-Granduncle John Robertson, after his father's, 4-times Great Grandfather John Robertson's, father, 5-times Great-Grandfather John Robertson.<br />
<br />
b. Their 2nd son, 3-times Great-Grandfather Thomas Robertson, after his mother's, 4-times Great-Grandmother Christian (née Dudgeon) Robertson's, father, 5-times Great-Grandfather Thomas Dudgeon.<br />
<br />
c. Their 3rd son, 3-times Great-Granduncle Alexander Robertson, may have been named for his father's, 4-times Great-Grandfather John Robertson's, if it is possible, Great-Great-Grandfather Alexander Robertson. And if this is correct Alexander Robertson could be our 7-times Great-Grandfather.
<br />
<br />
I may be grasping at straws but as as the names John and Thomas were already used in the naming of the 1st and 2nd sons, there may have been a "fall-back" to the name Alexander, as keeping current with the "ever-present" Scottish naming convention.
<br />

Good Day,
<br />
<br />
In days gone past, I have been somewhat frustrated that I had not been able to discover anything about <b><i>Great-Great Grandmother Esther (née Bailey) Merrifield</i></b>. I figured that this would be one of those doors that one encounters in the search of one’s genealogy.
<br />
<br />
I know that based on the discovery of more and more documentation, the direction of my <b><i>Smith Robertson Family Tree</i></b> can and may change.
<br />
<br />
This past weekend I believe that I have discovered and am able to create a ancestor path following back from <b><i>Great-Great Grandmother Esther (née Bailey) Merrifield</i></b>.
<br />
<br />
<div class="fullpost">
First, for several years I have had Great-Great Grandmother’s name down as “Esther”. I did some digging and I discovered that “<b><i>Esther</i></b>” can also be known as “<b><i>Hester</i></b>”. This simple onomastic provides a few new directions and possible searches.
<br />
<br />
The information that I had in my Smith Robertson database was that <b><i>GG-Grandmother Esther (née Bailey)</i></b> was married to <b><i>GG-Grandfather John Merryfield</i></b> in Gloucester, England. They were married in the 4th quarter of 1841. <a href="http://agenealogyhunt.blogspot.com/2011/01/part-438bm-smith-robertson-genealogy.html">See Part 438bm</a>.<br />
<br />
Today I finally found the 1841 Marriage registration for <b><i>GG-Grandparents John and Esther (née Bailey) Merryfield</i></b>.
<br />
<br />

Good Day,
<br />
<br />
Here’s a puzzle.
<br />
<br />
When did <b><i>Great-Grandaunt Mary Ann (née Irwin) formerly Partlett, Merrifield</i></b> marry her 1st husband <b><i>Partlett</i></b>, surname?
<br />
<br />
Here are the facts:
<br />
<br />
1. According to the 1881 and 1891 UK Census <b><i>Great-Grandaunt Mary Ann</i></b> was born about 1843.
<br />
<br />
2. She married <b><i>Great-Granduncle George Baily Merrifield</i></b>, the son of <b><i>GG-Grandparents John and Esther (née Bailey Merrifield</i></b>, 5 August 1889 at All Saints’ Church, Newington, Surrey, England.
<br />
<br />
3. The 1889 Marriage Registration includes Mary Ann Partlett’s father’s name as “<b><i>James Irwin</i></b>”.
<br />
<br />
4.<b><i> Great-Grandmother Elizabeth Charlotte (née Merrifield) Robertson</i></b> was <b><i>Great-Granduncle George Baily Merrifield</i></b>’s youngest sibling.
<br />
<br />
<div class="fullpost">
5. The ages given in the 1889 Marriage Registration for<b><i> Great-Granduncle George Baily Merrifield</i></b> and <i><b>Great-Grandaunt Mary Ann (née Irwin)</b></i> are 45 and 47, respectively.
<br />
<br />
6. <b><i>Great-Granduncle George Baily</i></b> and <b><i>Great-Grandaunt Mary Ann</i></b>’s 1st daughter <b><i>Clara M. Merrifield</i></b>, 1st cousin twice removed, was born about 1872 Gravesend, Kent, England.
<br />
<br />
7. Two more children were born in 1874 and 1877,<b><i> Frances M</i></b>. and <b><i>Henry D</i></b>., respectively.
<br />
<br />
8. There is a notation, in several family trees on Ancestry regarding an 1854 Marriage between one Mary Ann Irwin and George Partlett in Chalk, Kent, England. If this is <b><i>Great-Grandaunt Mary Ann</i></b>’s 1st marriage she would have been 11-years old.
<br />
<br />
9. I just located the 1854 Marriage Registration of Mary Ann Irwin and George Parttlett. Mary Ann Irwin is registered as “<i>Spinster</i>” which of course she would be considerably older that 11 years old, as above mentioned.
<br />
<br />
10. Her father listed in the 1854 Marriage Registration is entered as “<i>John White</i>”, not as James Irwin.
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Notice that the name of Mary Ann Irwin’s Father is John White, as opposed to Mary Ann Partlett’s father, James Irwin, in the 1889 Registration.
<br />
<br />
Several other facts are that that all in the <i>1881 UK Census</i> there are 3 children registered to parents George B and Mary Ann Merrifield. The 3 are Clara M, Frances M, and Henry D. The 3 have approximate birth years of 1872, 1874. And 1877, respectively. All 3 are also dittoed as Merrifield. All-things-being-equal these three could be <b><i>Great-Granduncle George Bailey’s and Great-Grandaunt Mary Ann’s</i></b> children. The only thing is that <b><i>Great-Granduncle George Bailey and Great-Grandaunt Mary Ann</i></b> were married in 1889.
<br />
<br />
Are the 3 their children or are they <b><i>Great-Grandaunt Mary Ann</i></b>’s and her 1st husband’s children?
<br />
<br />
Any thoughts?

<br />
<br />
I decided that I would take, what I thought would be a short detour in my research. As you know I have been following and uncovering documentations and sources of information for my <b><i>Paternal Great-Grandmother Ella Margaret Louise (née Scott) Smith</i></b>. The finds have been quite extensive. I believe I have found links that could lead me back to some 9-times and 10-times Great-Grandparents.
<br />
<br />
As a diversion, I thought I would see whether or not I could find any information for my <b><i>Maternal Great-Grandmother Elizabeth Charlotte (née Merrifield) Robertson</i></b>. And guess what?
<br />
<br />
I stumbled upon another wealth of information. I believe that I have have found intertwining information back to my 6-times Great-Grandparents.
<br />
<br />
But I can quickly get myself confused. My <b><i>Scott</i></b> line appears to focus back to the area of Leith in Midlothian, Scotland. My <b><i>Merrifield</i></b> line appears to center around Leigh upon Menkip in Somerset, England.
<br />
<br />
Here is my first draft of my <b><i>Merrifield Family Descendant Chart
</i></b><br />

<br />
<br />
Yesterday I spent my research time, hoping that I may “stumble” across a connection and to source, what some people have in their online family trees, to Sir Walter Scott.
<br />
<br />
Not sure whether I did.
<br />
<br />
Sir Walter Scott was born in the Edinburgh area in 1771. He became a lawyer and a famous writer.
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<b><i>GGG-Granduncle Cumberland Reid Scott</i></b>, <b><i>GGG-Grandfather Alexander Reid Scott</i></b>’s younger brother was born in 1805. He was born in the Edinburgh area.
<br />
<br />
<b><i>GGG-Granduncle Cumberland</i></b> was noted as a writer. In the 1830s an Act was passed in Jamaica appointing him as a lawyer.
<br />
<br />
<b><i>GGG-Granduncle Cumberland</i></b> had 2 wives: <b><i>Isabella Ferme</i></b> in Edinburgh and <b><i>Elizabeth Dunn</i></b> in Jamaica. At this point I have not determined whether Isabella passed away or whether she was separated from Cumberland.
<br />
<br />
<div class="fullpost">
One of his 2 sons with Isabella, <b><i>George</i></b> survived infancy. The 3 children he had with Elizabeth all died in infancy.
<br />
<br />
I was able to follow <b><i>George</i></b> and his marriage to <b><i>Jane Graham</i></b>. Together they had 6 children, all 2nd cousins. Two passed away in infancy. The other 4 all reached adulthood; all of them passed away being single. I am not sure whether the 4 had any children.
<br />
<br />
This is the first time that I am really at a loss. I was hoping that I may be able to “find” a distant cousin of <b><i>GGG-Granduncle Cumberland</i></b> who may have had some information about a possible connection to Sir Walter Scott.
<br />
<br />
As <b><i>GGG-Granduncle Cumberland Reid Scott</i></b> is the 13th child of <b><i>GGGG-Great-Grandparents James and Anne (née Reid) Scott</i></b>, guess I’ll have to follow another Scott line.
<br />
<br />
The search continues. And I just keep on going.<br />

<br />
<br />
Today, as I follow my Scott Family line back in time, I have found the <b><i>1662 Marriage Registration</i></b> for <b><i>8-times Great-Grandparents James and Elspeth (née Dumbar) Scott</i></b>. They were married 24 September 1662, Julian calendar, in Colinton, Midlothian.<br />
<br />
And now that I have move back in time, I realize that documentation may be halted due to the earliest dates of recording the Parish Records. According to <i>The Phillimore Atlas & Index of Parish Registers</i> by Cecil R. Humphery-Smith, 3rd Edition, 2003, here are some beginning dates as to when certain Parishes in Lothian and S.E. Lowlands, specific to my research may have started.

According to <b><i>8-times Great-Grandparents</i></b>' the 1662 Marriage Registration was registered in Colinton Parish, Midlothian on the 27th September 1662, Julian Calendar.<br />

I am not, even though I spent a good portion of my employment career as a banker, a student of pecuniary history. And of course, I had to look up information regarding the "Rix Dollars".<br />

Sounds like the Rix pattern of European coinage may have foretold of the current Euro.<br />

And here is an updated Scott Family, in 2 images, showing the descendants from <b><i>my 8-times Great-Grandparents James and Elspeth (née Dumbar) Scott</i></b> through to my <b><i>Great-Grandparents William James and Ella Margaret Louise (née Scott) Smith</i></b>.<br />

<br />
<br />
Today I am presenting the 1675 Baptism Registration of <b><i>Margret Crawford</i></b>, daughter to <b><i>John Crawford and Margret Scott</i></b>. This Baptism Registration is extremely legible and provides succinct and detailed information. The Registration was created in the Parish of South Leith.
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbUwVs3uMDVlZlLZ2KZw9p7EBX10ekxptAJbsUYUGXUFuraYYGeusEqEuA_9s_NIyA_sRJlV9ZipERVIsW69wbtAR3Ne3bM0Awde3eXmH-cy1mSF5N6WBYAynUFEkUN7iwyZILSW0se4ip/s1600/genealogist_121045.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="254" data-original-width="400" height="126" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbUwVs3uMDVlZlLZ2KZw9p7EBX10ekxptAJbsUYUGXUFuraYYGeusEqEuA_9s_NIyA_sRJlV9ZipERVIsW69wbtAR3Ne3bM0Awde3eXmH-cy1mSF5N6WBYAynUFEkUN7iwyZILSW0se4ip/s200/genealogist_121045.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
There is only one problem. At this juncture, I cannot guarantee with 100% certainly that this is <b><i>7-times Great-Grandmother Margret (née Crawford) Scott</i></b>. I do not have any documentation that I can directly make the connection. The documents that I now have indicate a person or persons with the name of Margret/Margaret Crawford.<br />
<br />
During the period of 1700 to 1709, <b><i>7-times Great-Grandparents David and Margret (née Crawford) Scott</i></b> had, which I have accounted for, at least 6 children, including <b><i>6-times Great-Grandfather Patrick Scott</i></b>. From what I can discern, at least 5 of the children where registered in the Parish of Duddingston.
<br />
<br />
All-things-being-equal, from the present Parish Church of South Leith to a central location in Duddingston it is just less than 3 miles away. The distance is about an hour walk.
<br />
<br />
<div class="fullpost">
I haven’t been able to find a documented source regarding <b><i>7-times Great-Grandparents David and Margret (née Crawford) Scott</i></b>’s Marriage Registration. 5 of the 6 Baptism Registrations that I have found for their children do include the phrase “his spouse” immediately after <b><i>Great-Grandmother Margret Crawford</i></b>’s name, with reference to <b><i>7-times Great-Grandfather David Scott</i></b>.
<br />
<br />
At this point in time, I can venture to say that it is a reasonable conclusion that this 1675 Baptism Registration may be that of <b><i>7-times Great-Grandmother Margret (née Crawford) Scott</i></b>. And when more documentation is found, I will work with it at that time.
<br />
<br />
And, of course, it is extremely interesting and worth noting that the <b><i>Margret Crawford</i></b>’s mother listed in the Baptism Registration is that of one <b><i>Margret Scott</i></b>.
<br />
<br />
I certainly would appreciate your thoughts.

<br />
<br />
The Scott search continues.
<br />
<br />
To date I have gathered somewhere in the vicinity of 200 documents, give or take. And yes, the script at most times is relatively easy to transcribe. At other times...
<br />
<br />
I have chanced upon the 9 July 1674, (Julian calendar), Baptism Registration for <b><i>7-times Great-Grandfather David Scott</i></b>.

And now the research becomes a bit more cryptic as I move back in time.<br />
<br />
From this Baptism Registration I am immediately attracted to three items of note.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmBVfJPX9fIKonIaZ80xG3yJ0lbMbmL-Fas9VI4rFVv3U67XVf0mF9YohvvtUCIUNss-N7SEw2I4Uu0pVtZvWpo6hHJio7cGSUHqfmfAa6_nkFpwik7BPzJCYiqtnSZH86y7AV5MxumEY1/s1600/Fair+Maid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1229" data-original-width="769" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmBVfJPX9fIKonIaZ80xG3yJ0lbMbmL-Fas9VI4rFVv3U67XVf0mF9YohvvtUCIUNss-N7SEw2I4Uu0pVtZvWpo6hHJio7cGSUHqfmfAa6_nkFpwik7BPzJCYiqtnSZH86y7AV5MxumEY1/s200/Fair+Maid.jpg" width="125" /></a>First, all the surnames included in the Registration are all surnames that are specific to my collection of ancestors: <i>Scott, Dunbar and Lawson.</i><br />
<br />
Second, I believe I need to research the "<i>John Scott of Baiglie</i>". From a quick attempt, I have learned that there is a Baiglie in Perth. In Walter Scott's book "<i>The Fair Maid of Perth or St. Valentine's Day</i>", originally published 15 May 1828 there are a few references to the "Wicks of Baiglie". Coincidence?<br />
<br />
And the third item is the occupation of "John Dunbar" as "<i>Gloover</i>". This is an occupation of interest, as in a previous discussion we thought that the word may be "<i>Gloober</i>". In the above example the "v" in the word "<i>Gloover</i>" is written exactly the same as the "v" in the name "David". According to <i>ScotlandsPeople</i> glossary a "Glover" is one who makes gloves. Any thoughts?<br />
<br />
The search continues. And I just keep on going.<br />
<br />
Also, let me know if you would like an invitation to access to my <b><i>Smith Robertson Family Tree</i></b> on <i>Ancestry</i>. You can email me at <a href="mailto:jsmith58@gmail.com"><b><i>jsmith58@gmail.com</i></b></a>.<br />

Stop the press...albeit Google Blogger, the mail arrived. A brown envelope with a much searched-after document.
<br />
<br />
And as I always say and write, "the next document can always present something different, as well as a tittle bit more of information that you were not aware".

Good Day,
<br />
<br />
In the research of my <b><i>Scott Family line</i></b> in Midlothian, Scotland, I chanced upon the following Internment Tombstone. This tombstone appears to be mounted on one of the walls of the <a href="http://duddingstonkirk.co.uk/kirkyard.html" target="_blank">Duddingston Kirk in Edinburgh, Scotland</a>.<br />
<br />
The same image is resident on a number of a number of Family Trees in Ancestry.

I had to look up the "viz." at the end of the 13th line. I found a possible meaning that could help with understanding the addition of the abbreviation. A meaning for "viz." is "that is to say" and "to be specific".<br />
<br />
As I usually understand something a wee bit better when I can visualize the thought, I have attempted to create a Descendant Chart. This Chart includes all possible named and unnamed persons included on the Tombstone.<br />

If someone can figure out the word at the end of the Registration before "<i>in Dudingstown</i>", please let me know.<br />
<br />
Note: Thank-you AS. The registration date for the Baptism Registration is referenced from the Julian calendar, as opposed to the Gregorian calendar we use today.<br />
<br />
I stumbled upon the following from the "<i><a href="https://archive.org/stream/annalsduddingst00unkngoog/annalsduddingst00unkngoog_djvu.txt" target="_blank">Annals of Duddingston and Portobello</a></i>" by William Baird, F.S.A. Scot, Edinburgh, Andrew Elliot, 17 Princes Street. 1898.
<br />
<br />
This information, as published, allows me to see and read that there may be some interactions between the <b><i>Scott</i></b> and <b><i>Horn</i></b> families of the time.<br />
<br />
As follows -<br />
<br />
<div class="fullpost">
<i>“Other elders after this time are Mr Archibald Duncan, a son of
the former Baron Bailie; James Williamson, sometime treasurer
of the church; <b>Andrew Horn</b> (smith, and coal grieve to the
Duchesses of Lauderdale and Argyle for fifty-four years), residing
at Magdaline Pans, appointed treasurer in 1711; John Robertson,
and Joseph Grier, clerk of kirk session. The predecessor of
Joseph Grier was one John Golme, who, however, seems to
have got into trouble, as he is incidentally mentioned in a minute
of 11th January 1711 as being then in prison.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>We have referred to the erection of pews in the church in 1676.
These were occupied by the principal families of the parish, at a
small rent, or ** seat mail," paid to the Treasurer yearly. From
a memorandum left by that officer we give the names of those so
occupying the seats in the year 1714, and for which a yearly sum
of 15s was paid by each: — Archibald Duncan, son of William
Duncan, and Baron Bailie; John Bobertson, farmer; James
Williamson, Archibald Cook, <b>David Scott</b>, farmer; <b>William Horn</b>,
Andrew Symington, John Cook, farmer, Crookston; John Black,
John Craig, and John Johnston, Wm. Patton and John Lindsay,
Bobert Duncan, <b>Andrew Horn</b>, farmer, Fillysidebank; Bobert
Balderston, and finally the ''salters' seat," for which £2 was
paid…
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>…with the parish, some of whose representatives are still to
be found in the neighbourhood…
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>…James Dunoan, <b>John Horn</b> in Mibis, and <b>Mrs Horn</b> in Easter
Duddingston; <b>Peter Scott</b>, Northfield, and his son Andrew ;
Bidiard Sinclair, Alexander Livingston, Andrew Porteous, Mrs
Johnston and William Srown, Bichard Bobertson, <b>Mrs Horn
and Andrew Horn</b>, and Bobert Johnston. These paid 7s per
annum, or £4 18s in all. '* The seat opposite the pulpit (the
memorandum goes on to say) and next to Bobert Johnston pays
68 6d. The seat next the Whipman's seat in the east end of the
kirk pays lOs 6d. The middlemost seat in the east end of the
kirk pays 9s 6d. The seat next the door in the east end
pays 10s."…”
</i><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Today I have discovered the 1703 Baptism Registration for <b><i>6-times Great-Grandfather Patrick Scott</i></b> in the “<i>Old parochial registers for Duddingston. 1631-1854</i>”.
<br />
<br />
I have also found that there may be an issue, in that at times <b><i>GGGGGG-Grandfather Patrick</i></b> was also known as <b><i>Peter</i></b>.

Thanks to TW and TD, they were able to assist with a definition of “fermourer”. “A fermourer was someone who tended a farm, including livestock and crops, but did not own it, (<a href="https://draft.blogger.com/"><span id="goog_2018913132"></span>per ScotlandsPeople’s occupational glossary<span id="goog_2018913133"></span></a>.)<br />
<br />
<b><i>6-times Great-Grandfather Patrick's</i></b> 1703 Baptism Registration now introduces us to <b><i>7-times Great-Grandparents David and Margaret (née Crawfoord) Scott</i></b>.<br />
<br />
<b><i>7-times Great-Grandfather David Scott</i></b> was a fermourer.
<br />
<br />
Of course, I have created a new Patrick Scott Descendant Chart. This new Chart includes <i><b>GGGGGG-Grandfather Patrick Scott</b></i>'s wife, <b><i>GGGGGG-Grandmother Euphame Horn</i></b>.
<br />
<br />
The Chart also includes their 9 children. I have been able to find the Baptism Registrations of each of the nine. I will provide them at a later date.

<br />
Just something that I would like to mention that may be one of my idiosyncrasies. I taught dialectical English for a number years in my tenure as a Teacher. When I search and find the first document relating to an ancestor of mine, I typically will enter the first spelling of a name that I may encounter into my genealogy database. As we know, individuals may have multiple renditions and spellings of their names. Any additional one that I come across I will also enter the new one as an "alternate name".<br />
<br />
The search continues. And I just keep on going.<br />
<br />
Also, let me know if you would like an invitation to access to my <b><i>Smith Robertson Family Tree</i></b> on <i>Ancestry</i>. You can email me at <a href="mailto:jsmith58@gmail.com"><b><i>jsmith58@gmail.com</i></b></a>.<br />

Do you know the difference between an “irregular” marriage versus a “regular” marriage in Scotland? I didn’t…but I do now.
<br />
<br />
In Scotland, prior to 1 July 1940 an “irregular” marriage, (from Scotlands People), was a recognized marriage “<i>in which a man and a woman made a declaration in front of two witnesses, hence the other name “marriage by declaration”</i>" A “regular” marriage was one where a couple “were married by a minister. The “regular” marriage involved banns being read on three consecutive Sundays at the parish church.
<br />
<br />
All-things-being equal, there may never be a registered copy of an irregular marriage in the parish registers.
<br />
<br />
And yes, I have located the 1751 Marriage Registration for <b><i>GGGGG-Grandparents William and Margaret (née Straiton) Scott</i></b>.

And why do you ask am I interested in “regular” and “irregular” marriages? Well, I am currently researching my Scott family line in Scotland. Obviously, the type of marriage may result in the lack of documented paper registrations.
<br />
<br />
Also, on the facing page of the Parish Register in which I found <b><i>GGGGG-Grandparents William and Margaret</i></b>’s 1751 Marriage Registration, includes on the facing page the marriage registration of another <i>William Scott</i> to one <i>Margaret Kilgower</i>. Their Marriage Registration refers to both an irregular marriage on 2 July 1750 and a regular marriage in the church on 20 June 1751.
<br />
<br />
Does anyone know, in Scotland at certain times, could "Margaret" be replaced by "Marion"? I've read on one famous case, in history.<br />

<br />
I am now at a point in my research of my<b> Scott Family line</b> where I need to figure out who and how are GGGG-Grandfather's parents, my 5-times Great-Grandparents. The possibilities are <b><i>William Scott and Margaret Sraiton</i></b>, and, <b><i>George Reid and Sarah Laurie</i></b>.<br />
<br />
Here are a couple of facts and thoughts that I have collected that, hopefully, should point to some answers.
<br />
<br />
1. <b><i>GGGG-Grandparents James and Ann (née Reid) Scott</i></b> were married 9 April 1784 in Leith, Scotland. See <a href="https://agenealogyhunt.blogspot.com/2019/05/part-942sr-1784-marriage-registration.html" target="_blank"><i>Part 942sr - 1784 Marriage Registration - GGGG-Grandfather James and Ann (née Reid) Scott</i></a>.<br />
<br />
2. <b><i>GGGG-Grandmother Ann Reid</i></b>'s father is confirmed as "<i>Mr. George Reid Farmer in Ratho</i>" on her 1784 Marriage Registration.<br />
<br />
2. <b><i>GGGG-Grandparents James and Ann Scott </i></b>had 11 children. I am currently in the process of searching for all baptism registrations.
<br />
<br />
3. The 1st 4 of the listed 11 children of <b><i>GGGG-Grandparents James and Ann</i></b> are named after their Grandparents, my <b><i>GGGGG-Grandparents William Scott and Margaret Sraiton, and, George Reid and Sarah Laurie</i></b>. The 1st 4 names are: <b><i>William, Sarah, Margaret, and George</i></b>.
<br />
<div class="fullpost">
<br />
4. From<a href="https://blog.findmypast.co.uk/traditional-scottish-naming-patterns-2115646700.html" target="_blank"> <i>findmypast "Search Scottish Records"</i></a>.<br />
<br />
"The Scots have for many centuries followed a relatively simple set of rules when assigning given names to their successive children. While these traditional naming patters were not followed by all families, they were widespread enough that a basic understanding of them can come in handy when hunting for Scottish ancestors.
<br />
<br />
Being familiar with these patterns will allow you to make genealogical inferences, identify potential new avenues of research and reveal all sorts of clues about the lives of your ancestors.
<br />
<br />
By the latter part of the nineteenth century, these patterns began to break down and fade out of use so be cautious when using them to identify more recent ancestors.
<br />
<br />
The traditional patterns used when naming boys were as follows:
<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The first son would be named after the father's father (variation is after the mother's father)</li>
<li>The second after the mother's father (variation is the father's father)</li>
<li>The third son would be named after the father</li>
<li>The fourth son would be named after the father's oldest brother (variation is after the father's paternal grandfather)</li>
<li>The fifth son would be named after the mother's oldest brother (variation is after the mother's paternal grandfather)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
and for girls:
<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>First daughter named after the mother's mother (variation is after the father's mother</li>
<li>Second daughter named after the father's mother</li>
<li>Third daughter named after the mother</li>
<li>Fourth daughter named after the mother's oldest sister (variation is after the mother's maternal grandmother)</li>
<li>Fifth daughter named after the father's oldest sister (variation is after the father's maternal grandmother)"</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />

<br />
Following the discovery of the 1802 Baptism Registration, (<a href="https://agenealogyhunt.blogspot.com/2019/05/part-941ss-1802-baptism-ggg-grandfather.html" target="_blank">see Part 941ss</a>), and as the Registration identified <b><i>GGG-Grandfather Alexander Reid Scott</i></b>'s parents as <b><i>James Scott</i></b> and <b><i>Ann Reid</i></b>, my next step is to seek out a possible Marriage Registration. All-things-being-equal<b><i> James Scott</i></b> and <b><i>Ann Reid</i></b> would have been my <b><i>GGGG-Great-Grandparents</i></b>.<br />
<br />
I have discovered that <b><i>GGG-Grandfather Alexander Reid Scott</i></b> may have been the youngest of the 11 children of <i><b>GGGG-Grandparents James and Ann (née Reid) Scott</b></i>.<br />
<br />
And next, the 1784 Marriage Registration of<b><i> GGGG-Grandparents James and Ann (née Reid) Scott.
</i></b><br />

And as far as coincidences go, I noted that <b><i>GGGG-Grandfather James Scott</i></b> is listed as a "<i>Wright in Leith</i>". "The noun "<i>wright</i>" is an Old English word, and it always refers to a person who builds, creates, or repairs something (as in playwright or shipwright). A Wright: a skilled craftsman.
<br />
<br />
In my research in <a href="http://agenealogyhunt.blogspot.com/2011/05/part-512s-smith-robertson-genealogy-ggg.html" target="_blank"><i>Part 512s – Smith Robertson Genealogy – GGG-Grandfather James Smith’s Noted Occupations</i></a>, I observed that <b><i>GGG-Grandfather James Smith</i></b> also at points of time in his life is recorded as having been a Wright.<br />

I am continuing the search and confirmation of my Scott Family line. I have now traveled from Kingston, Jamaica to Leith, Scotland. Thanks to TK, KM, and AS for their assistance and review.<br />
<br />
Today I have the 12 April 1802 Baptism Registration of <b><i>GGG-Grandfather Alexander Reid Scott</i></b>. The Baptism Registration confirms <b><i>GGGG-Grandparents James Scott and Anne Reid</i></b>.<br />
