I'm looking at this really annoying Scots couple!
They married in 1864 in England (I don't want to get the cert)
They died in England.
They lived in Scotland in between, but the husband was at sea every time there was a census. He only came home after they moved to Poplar and so doesn't need to say exactly where he was born (in Scotland).
Hence I cannot find him in Scotland before he married, as I don't know his parents or where he lived.............So, I wondered about those bloomin' naming patterns everyone is always on about! I wondered if it's likely one of his childrens middle names is his mum's maiden name? And if so, which one might it be?
Here are their names:
James Jamieson and his wife, Janet, formerly Joss
had the following children (in this order):
Margaret Clark Jamieson
Barbara Tasker Jamieson
James Jamieson
John Joss Jamieson
George Copland Jamieson
Any ideas???
