I have just found out that sometime after the 1901 census, Keziah Cumming ( Hogg ) moved to California which is where she died. Can anyone please confirm this?

When I was researching Cumming etc, I was told of a chap who ran a site devoted to them, why not try googling for his site? Not read all the replies on this thread, so perhaps I am just doubling up with someone else's reply.

Kezia(h)'s birth registration is as Kezia Hogg

Her marriage registration is as Kezia Hogg


I cannot see a bapism for her to see if she was given a second forename at that point.

If you look at the actual image, which you should always do! ....... it is plain that these are two SEPARATE households. Ancestry has struck again with a bad transcript onto record page!


Address:- 52 Castlegate

David Paterson 36 Railway Porter
Margaret Ellen Paterson 29
David Paterson 7
Alexander Paterson 5
Margaret Hope Paterson 2


next door, at 46 Castlegate

Jessie Cumming 19 b.ca 1882, Alnwick, Dau, Single (no occupation shown) <<<<< name change shown to Jessie Paterson (?(probably incorrect, based only on the transcript!)
Gordon Cumming 17 b.ca 1884, Alnwick, Son, Single, Grocer's Assistant
Catherine Cumming 14 b.ca 1887, Alnwick, Dau, Single, Dressmaker's Apprentice
Margaret Cumming 13 b.ca 1888, Alnwick, Dau, Single, Scholar



so NO connection between the Patersons and the Cummings


William and Keziah are obvioulsy elsewhere ..... as these 4 are definitley shown as Daughter or Son, and not even Jessi is marked as Head.

I am trying to find out about William Robert Cumming b.c1843 in Scotland possibly Fife. He was a vetenery surgeon who married Keziah Hogg in 1874 Kingston Upon Thames, England. Keziah was b.c1854 also Kingston. I am after any info regarding his birth, census info, parents, etc. I know that he and Keziah had a daughter, Catharine b.1886 registered Alnwick, Northumberland. Would be interested to know if she had any siblings. This is a new part of my tree and my first Scottish connection so i am feeling abit lost. Any help would be appreciated.
