FACT:
My 2 x GGPS are George CRAIG and Theresa MILNE. They married on 21st July,1871, Old Machar, Aberdeen, and Theresa gave her parents names as Alexander Milne and Mary McWilliam.
The only Theresa Milne I can find is in 1851, mistranscribed as THRESA:
1851, Heaton Rd Old Machar Aberdeen.
Alexr. Milne H 40 Aberdeen Quarrier's labourer.
Mary, wife 35, b. Chapel of Garioch Aberdeen
Mary dau 13 b Aberdeen Flax spinner
John son 4 b Aberdeen
>>THRESA dau 2 b Aberdeen.
Baptisms I have found for the children of Alexander Milne, and Mary McWilliam, all baptised at the parish church, Old Machar, are as follows:
Mary Wight Milne 25 December 1839
Isabella Nicol Milne 11 July 1842 (Nicol is a family surname)
Alexander McWilliam Milne (mother's mn is McWiliam)17 May 1844
John SCOTT Milne 2 June 1846
Theresa Milne 11 July 1848
George McWilliam Milne b 17 April 1852, bap 13 June.
In 1851, I also find the following:
Persley Houses, Old Machar
John SCOTT H 50 b Enzie, Banffs. Granite Quarrier, Master 56 men.
Isabella Scott, wife, 46 b Old Machar
Peter Scott brother, 29, b Ruthven, Aberdeen, Quarrier
>>May MCWILLIAM 16 b Chapel of Garioch Aberdeen Servant
James Robson 15 b Durham England Servant
>>Isabella Milne aged 7 b Old Machar, LODGER.
Am I jumping to conclusions here, because in 1861 I find:
115, Causewayend Old Machar
Alexander Milne H 50 b Newmarker (New Machar) Aberdeen, WOOLSPINNER
Isabella Milne, dau 18 b Old Machar, servant
George son 8 b Old Machar
Alexander DAU(!) 3 b Old Machar.
Have I mixed up two families? Where is Theresa, aged 12? Is it coincidence that Isabella is lodging with a Scott family, and has a brother with a middle name of Scott?
Any opinions appreciated, thankyou!
