Part 955sd – 1662 Marriage Registration – 8-Times Great-Grandparents James and Elspeth (née Dumbar) Scott

Good Day,

Today, as I follow my Scott Family line back in time, I have found the 1662 Marriage Registration for 8-times Great-Grandparents James and Elspeth (née Dumbar) Scott. They were married 24 September 1662, Julian calendar, in Colinton, Midlothian.

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 The Phillimore Atlas & Index of Parish Registers 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.

From The National Records of Scotland –

Regarding dates and the Julian versus Gregorian calendars -

“Change to the Gregorian Calendar in 1752. Scotland, along with England, Ireland and Wales, formally adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1752. This required a correction of 11 days and Parliament decided that Wednesday 2 September should be followed by Thursday 14 September with no intervening days numbered 3 to 13”

“There are two significant and separate developments that 
was the adoption of 1 January as the first day of the year affect dates in the Old Parish Registers (OPRs). The first instead of 25 March. The second was the calendar reform which began in 1582 when some European countries replaced the old-style Julian calendar with the new style Gregorian calendar. The latter was based on a more accurate calculation of the length of the year and required an adjustment of 10 days to align the calendar year with the solar year.” 

Stephen P. Morse has a Julian to Gregorian conversion application.

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

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".

From Wikipedia and James Wood (1909), The Nuttall encyclopaedia. Frederick Warne, London, New York.

"Rixdollar is the English term for silver coinage used throughout the European continent."

Sounds like the Rix pattern of European coinage may have foretold of the current Euro.

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

The search continues.  And I just keep on going.

Part 954cs – 1675 Baptism Registration 7-Times Great-Grandmother Margret Crawford – Possibly?

Good Day,

Today I am presenting the 1675 Baptism Registration of Margret Crawford, daughter to John Crawford and Margret Scott. This Baptism Registration is extremely legible and provides succinct and detailed information. The Registration was created in the Parish of South Leith.

There is only one problem. At this juncture, I cannot guarantee with 100% certainly that this is 7-times Great-Grandmother Margret (née Crawford) Scott. 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.

During the period of 1700 to 1709, 7-times Great-Grandparents David and Margret (née Crawford) Scott had, which I have accounted for, at least 6 children, including 6-times Great-Grandfather Patrick Scott. From what I can discern, at least 5 of the children where registered in the Parish of Duddingston.

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.

I haven’t been able to find a documented source regarding 7-times Great-Grandparents David and Margret (née Crawford) Scott’s Marriage Registration. 5 of the 6 Baptism Registrations that I have found for their children do include the phrase “his spouse” immediately after Great-Grandmother Margret Crawford’s name, with reference to 7-times Great-Grandfather David Scott.

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 7-times Great-Grandmother Margret (née Crawford) Scott. And when more documentation is found, I will work with it at that time.

And, of course, it is extremely interesting and worth noting that the Margret Crawford’s mother listed in the Baptism Registration is that of one Margret Scott.

I certainly would appreciate your thoughts.

Part 953ss - 1674 Baptism Registration 7-Times Great-Grandfather David Scott

Good Day,

The Scott search continues.

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...

I have chanced upon the 9 July 1674, (Julian calendar), Baptism Registration for 7-times Great-Grandfather David Scott.

Source: FHL 7908826; Image 931 of  978

The Baptism Registration also introduces 8-times Great-Grandparents James Scott and Elspeth Dunbar.  David Scott was, of the documentation that I have discovered to this point, the 8th of their 9 children.

Transcription -

9 July 1674

James Scott merchant Elspeth Dunbar ASN David 
Witness John Dunbar Gloover James Dunbar Me-
ssinger John Scott in Baiglie and William Lawson me-
chant.

And now the research becomes a bit more cryptic as I move back in time.

From this Baptism Registration I am immediately attracted to three items of note.

First, all the surnames included in the Registration are all surnames that are specific to my collection of ancestors: Scott, Dunbar and Lawson.

Second, I believe I need to research the "John Scott of Baiglie". From a quick attempt, I have learned that there is a Baiglie in Perth. In Walter Scott's book "The Fair Maid of Perth or St. Valentine's Day", originally published 15 May 1828 there are a few references to the "Wicks of Baiglie". Coincidence?

And the third item is the occupation of "John Dunbar" as "Gloover". This is an occupation of interest, as in a previous discussion we thought that the word may be "Gloober".  In the above example the "v" in the word "Gloover" is written exactly the same as the "v" in the name "David".  According to ScotlandsPeople glossary a "Glover" is one who makes gloves. Any thoughts?

The search continues.  And I just keep on going.

Part 853p – Smith Groh Genealogy – Parisé Descendant Chart – 11th Update

Good Day,

My search and research of the Parisé Family Line is getting more and more complicated. As I delve into the ancestry and the genealogy of the Parisé and related Family I am amazed at the information that I am finding. The main issue is that there appears to be quite of a bit of information provided on the Internet, but the main problem is the lack of qualifying sources and citations. Each time I come across some iota of information regarding the family I feel that it is necessary to try and find some corroborating evidence.

And I have created my GenoPro descendant charts which work as white boards for me. I can place information, that which could be pertinent to the genealogy of the family, and then I can add my notes and cross-references. My Descendant Charts are always works-in-progress. This is now the 11th Parisé Descendant Chart.

I have made a substantial number of recent discoveries and it appears that the Parisé Families were resident both in Bonaventure County in Gaspé in Quebec as well as in Gloucester County in New Brunswick. From the information that I have been able to find there seems to be leads that the Families may have traveled across, and back-and-forth, the Chaleur Bay between Port Daniel (A), Bonaventure, Paspébiac, and Caraquet (B), and to locations close by. This also makes sense as it appears to be that the main source of occupation and employment was fishing.

Stay tuned for more details as I continue my search and research.

Enjoy,

Part 851pg – Smith Groh Genealogy – 1817 Marriage 6-Times Great-Grandfather Michel Parisé and Louise Grenier – Paspébiac, Bonaventure, Québec, Canada

Good Day,

This week I’ve been working, in my research of the genealogy of the Parisé Family Line and Ancestry, on the 1817 Marriage of CKs 6-times great-grandfather Michel Parisé. This was gggggg-grandfather Michel’s second marriage after the passing of gggggg-grandmother Rosalie (née Roussey) Parisé. His second wife was Louise Grenier.

Both gggggg-grandfather Michel Parisé and his second wife Louise Grenier were a widower and widow, respectively, at the time of their 18 April 1818 marriage. Louise Grenier’s previous husband was Isaac Huart. As you can see the surnames Grenier and Huart (aka Huard) are once again appearing within the Parisé Family Line. At times it gets extremely confusing when I’m trying to ensure that I have the correct ancestors in the correct generation, especially in light of the fact that there are a number of grandfathers who were named Michel Parisé.

I lucked out in being able to find both Registers’ entries for the 1817 Marriage Registration of 6-times great-grandfather Michel Parisé and his wife Louise Grenier. Both are included in The Drouin Collection and both are digitized images available through Ancestry.ca. One entry is listed and indexed under the name of Michel Parisé, the other under the name Michel Poirier.

The two Registers are the 1817 Carleton Parish and the 1771 to 1811 St. Bonaventure County Registers.

Part 849h – Smith Groh Genealogy – 1865 Death and Burial – Romain Huard, the Senior

Good Day,

My search and research of the Parisé Family Line and genealogy now has revealed the apparent reason for CK’s gggg-grandmother Catherine (née Grenier) becoming a widow. Her first husband Romain Huard died sometime around the 17th of May 1865 and was buried in the Parish Cemetery on the 19th. Their son, half-ggg-granduncle, also named Romain Huard had just passed away in infancy on the 21st of January in that same year.

The following is the Burial Registration from the New Carlisle Register as obtained from The Drouin Collection and downloaded from Ancestry.ca.

J. G. Fournier Priest

Based on the information that I have chanced upon from the Registers, gggg-grandmother Catherine (née Grenier) was married in January 1860 to Romain Huard, possibly her 1st cousin. Romain Huard passed away in May 1865. GGGG-Grandfather Thimothée Parisé married his first wife, Julienne Chapados in August 1865. Julienne Chapados may have been gggg-grandfather Thimothée’s 1st cousin. She passed away July 1866. Then gggg-grandparents Thimothée and Catherine, who also appear to have been 1st cousins, married in August 1867. And now you understand why I have been taking a wee bit of time deciphering who was who was who…

And yes it is that time again to update my Parisé Descendant Chart.

All new and updated data, including the cross-references to my Posting on A Genealogy Hunt, are entered in red. A red or blue yellow-filled symbol represents the actual blood line. In this case this is one of CK’s blood lines.

Part 847h – Smith Groh Genealogy – 1861 Baptism – Half-GGG-Grandaunt Elizabeth Huard – Paspébiac, Quebec

Good Day,

And yes this can be bloody boring… and tedious at times, but genealogy search and research is not necessarily cut out for everyone. And yes you can always block my emails and notes of the information… but I will not interrupt my search and research. It is my thing and I do not have to make any excuses for what I please to do.

My search and research of the Parisé Family Line has me presently investigating how many children CK’s gggg-grandmother Catherine (née Grenier formerly Huard) Parisé before she married gggg-grandfather Thimothée Parisé. And success, I have discovered another daughter, half-ggg-grandaunt Elizabeth Huard. She was born on the 20th of January 1861 and baptized on the 27th of the same month. All-things-being-equal Elizabeth could have been gggg-grandmother Catherine’s first daughter and child with her first husband Romain Huard.

Here are the images as I downloaded from The Drouin Collection via Ancestry.ca. I have included the two pages from both Registers from the Registers of the Parish of Notre Dame and of New Carlisle. I have included a highlighted copy of the New Carlisle page as it is much easier to read and transcribe.

Good Day,

In the search and research of one’s ancestry and genealogy one never knows what one may stumble upon, nor how soon one can discover an ancestor’s vital records. I am searching the Huard family name to determine how many children CK’s gggg-grandmother Catherine (née Grenier) may have had while she was married to her first husband Romain Huard. I have found that Ancestry.ca has uploaded just over 600 records with the surname Huard of Paspébiac from The Drouin Collection. My search involved going through each one for the period from 1859 to about 1866.

And then I stumbled upon the 1865 Burial Registration of half-ggg-granduncle Romain Huard. Here are the images I downloaded.

Part 845h – Smith Groh Genealogy – 1864 Baptism – Half-GGG-Granduncle Romain Huard – Paspébiac, Quebec

Good Day,

Following up from my previous post and my search and research of the genealogy of the Parisé Family Line, CK’s gggg-grandmother Catherine (née Grenier), gggg-grandfather Thimothée Parisé’s second wife was also married twice. Her first husband was Romain Huard and they were married in Notre-Dame Parish in the County of Bonaventure, Quebec, 17 January 1860. (See Part 807gh.)

Based on my search, I have discovered that there is a possibility that Romain Huard, gggg-grandmother Catherine’s first husband may have passed away sometime around 19 May 1865. According to a Notre-Dame-de-la-Purificatin register he was buried on that day.

As they, gggg-grandmother Catherine and Romain Huard were married for approximately five years I have been searching the registers to see if I could discover any record of baptism, etc., relating to any possible children of their marriage. To date I have located one, a baptism of CK’s half-ggg-granduncle Romain Huard. He was born3 August 1864 and baptized 7 August.

Part 844g – Smith Groh Genealogy – GGGG-Grandmother Catherine (née Grenier formerly Huard) Parisé – 1840 Baptism – Paspébiac, Bonaventure, Quebec, Canada

Good day,

In my continuing search and research of the genealogy of the Parisé Family Line I have now found the 20 September 1840 Baptism registration of CK’s gggg-grandmother Catherine (née Grenier formerly Huard) Parisé. From The Drouin Collection I have been able to find both registrations of gggg-grandmother Catherine’s baptism at the mission of Paspébiac at Notre Dame de la Purificatin in the Parish of Notre-Dame, Bonaventure County, Quebec.

According to the registration gggg-grandmother Catherine was born the 20th of July of 1840 and baptized the 20th of September. Her parents were ggggg-grandparents Jacques and Catherine (née Duguay) Parisé.

One image is number 16 of 22 of the 1840 Register. The second image is number 29 of 380 if the 1839 to 1864 Register. The second image, number 29, is much more difficult to transcribe and translate due to the condition of the image, as presented.
