Find Ancestors

Joan,
Boy do I know....been up that garden path more times than I care to admit......:-) LOL

Regards Vera

Thanks for everything,Vera.The search is fun even though it sometimes leads one up the garden path.
Joan

You are so right....it is the proving.....:-)

Regards Vera

Hey,Vera,you're on a roll!That's an interesting one for the two boys,Inglis and Veitch.Can it be a coincidence? I also had a Catherine Veitch age 14 in Biggar in 1841,maybe a sister of Violet's since the mother was a Catherine.Trouble is knowing how to prove anything.
Regards,

Joan

I'm not sure,Vera,but my James Inglis has connections with all three places-he says he was born in Musselburgh,Inveresk(where John Veitch comes from if he is the right shoemaker):he was living in Biggar with his first wife in 1841,: he was in Eddleston ,Peebleshire in 1851 and then married Violet in Edinburgh in 1861 and in the 61 and 71 censuses was living in Peebles town.All this Veitch searching is because Violet says her mother was an Inglis so I'm guessing she ,Violet,was some sort of cousin-late marriage to a widower .
Joan

Robert is not the right one.... just checked.

Regards Vera

Joan,
Robert was born Peebles Peebleshire........
Regards Vera

thanks a lot,Vera.don't know whether either one fits given there is no occupation but it is possible he had a son Robert in the 1830s,not registered.The Violet I have marrying my gggrandfather James Inglis in 1861 says her father was John Veitch shoemaker ,mother Catherine Inglis deceased.Violet was born in Biggar but again no registration .Where was the Robert born -does it say?

Most likely he's the one then.Thank you again.Sorry to be a bother but can you see if he's still around for the 71,Vera.

Hi Joan,
Have tried........ just put in John Veitch ....occupation shoemaker on the 1861 I would think they would list them all together.....but there is only this one...that I can see.

Rewgards Vera

Thank you very much,Vera.Can I ask if it is possible to search by occupation on the 1851 and 1861? ie.can one find whether there were any other John Veitch-shoemakers in southern Scotland at the time?
