Find Ancestors

Might be an idea to look up the 1871 census for George/Alexander Anderson and Mary Weir living back in Scotland. Either as a married couple or single people.

See if they might have been married at that point. They seem to be of a fair age when the two girls were born .. as already mentioned.

I don't have access to Ancestry or I'd have a look.

Had a look for a marriage in England on freebmd ... and nothing's coming up for the names mentioned.

Thank you very much safc for taking the time and trouble to do a scottish lookup for me

Kind regards

Hello Potty this cannot be my mary then can it that safc because she certainly didnt emigrate to Canada do you think that they could have possibly married in London then??and not scotland

Kind regards

Susan

According to a tree on Ancestry the Mary Ann in the baptism safc posted emigrated to Canada with her parents in 1840.

Mary Ann probably only knew her father's name as George as he seems to have dropped the Alexander.

There is a birth on scotlandspeople for an Alexandrina Anderson in 1879 in Bo'ness but she is with her parents in Scotland in 1881.

No luck yet find a marriage for Alexander Anderson and Mary Weir

Yes alviegal thats is Mary Anns marriage and I believe Alexandria was one of the witnesses, she was her sister This birth cert for her obviously really holds the key doesnt it.

Is this Mary Ann's marriage? William and Alexandrina Hyatt were witnesses. Sister Alexandria perhaps?

The place of birth for Mary in 1891, could read Kilmun, which is near Holy Loch, Dunoon, Argyllshire.

BUT Mary Ann's birth certificate, which you are getting, should tell us more.

Hi thanks Potty will do that then get Mary Ann birth cert then come back and then take it from there, would like to get a little further with the Andersons if poss Be in touch

Kind regards

Susan

Hi Susan,

Yes, I think that George is yours. Come back to the thread when you have Mary Ann's birth cert and we can look for a marriage. If they married in Scotland, which looks probabable, and if it was after 1855, the marriage cert will give both their fathers' and mothers' names.

Thank you very much potty do you think then this is my George Anderson and his parents also you are right I need to get Mary Ann birth cert.

KInd regards

Susan

There is this baptism on familysearch - it is a submitted record but is part of a large batch and as it gives exact dates, I would think it correct - I will check it on scotlandspeople:

GEORGE ANDERSON Pedigree
Birth: 19 JAN 1818
Christening: 09 FEB 1818 Forfar, Angus, Scotland
Parents:
Father: JAMES ANDERSON Family
Mother: ALISON MILNE

Edit: coming up as a match on scotlandspeople.

Susan, there are lots of possible marriages for a George Anderson to a Mary. You really need to get Mary Ann's birth cert for her mother's maiden name.

Thank you Potty could you poss look up the births if poss for George and Mary ??

Susan

No birth coming up on scotlandspeople for Alexandria.

There is this possible birth for Mary Ann:

Births Sep 1878 (>99%)
ANDERSON Mary Ann St. Saviour 1d 30

George and Mary look a little old to be starting a family.

Yes I do its just that am stumped on George and Mary ? oooh wish I knew her maiden name?? Anyway will keep searching something will come soon am very new to this.

Regards

Susan

I imagine you have Alexandria in London after this?
Happy searching!
