  • James Stewart (b1797) and Janet Leslie

    I have this married couple having a daughter Jessie Ann in 1823 along with other children George, James, Andrea and Ann. I am stuck finding who James' parents are. I can't even locate their marriage notice that might give me both sets of parents. Can anyone enlighten me?

    Thanks

    Do you know which area they lived in? Where were the children born?

      Terry,

      as Sue says if you give us a little more information then we can help you to possibly find the records that you are needing to progress. Where have you looked? do you have them on any census at all? where were they born? is this in England? or Scotland or somewhere else?

        I cannot find any of them in familysearch, so some more information would be helpful.
        I doubt, however, that you will find any parent information on a marriage record prior to 1823, unless they were witnesses.

            Terry,

            if you would like to give a little more information then we could help you look, ideally we would need a year of birth/place of birth and where they would be living [if not in their home county]

              This is really a late response but ... James Stewart b June 18 1797 in Aberdeenshire, Janet Leslie b Apr 291794 Old Machar Aberdeenshire and they had 5 kids - George, James, Andrew, Ann and David. Most of this info is confirmed but I need more info on the parents to ensure everything is ok.

              Thanks in advance,

              Terry

                If either died after 1855, their parents' names will be on their death certs.

                  I know this a shot in the dark, but Scottish naming patterns have worked 99% of the time for me, especially in Aberdeenshire. The oldest son is usually named after the father's father, second son is named after the mother's father, oldest daughter is named after mother's mother, second daughter is named after father's mother. If the children listed in post # 7 are in birth order James father should be George and Janet's father should be James. Hope this helps.

                      The 1814 m for Janet Leslie to James Shepherd gives George as her father:

                      Old Machar 19th February 1814

                      James Shepherd and Janet Leslie both in this Parish signified their purpose of marriage by George Leslie her father and after being thrice proclaimed, they were married

                      Maybe she re-married a James Stewart??

                      Do you have the dob of the children??
